 US. TELLS ALLIES
New Note Says America Must Have Pay for Rhine Army Regardless of French
 Deficit
By Associated Press

Washington, March 25.-The American government has sent to the allied powers another note supple mental to that recently dispatched and designed to support it's claim for equality with those powers in the payment of costs arising from the Rhineland occupation.
 The new Il te, copies of which were presented today to the British, French. Italian, Belgian and Japanese govern ments by American diplomatic offi- cials in the capitals of those nations, declared that whether or not there should be deficit in the French ac- count for it's occupation army costs as of May l, 1921. the claim for equal ity on the part of the United States would not thereby be affected.
 The American government. in
 Its supplemental note in words characterized by one official as
 plain if not diplomatic, notifies
 the allied governments that no
 juggling of bookkeeping as re-
 gnrds the Rhinefand occupation
 costs will deter the United States
 from pressing what it considers
 just claim.
 High state department officials, in making public the new note. explain ed that the original identic- notes de- livered to the five allied powers cary this week stated that according to information and accounts in possess sion or the American government it appeared' that the amount due to France for it's occupation army costs to May had been paid in full as had costs of the armies of Belgium ana Italy. Recent dispatches from France it was said. had intimated that the American government, made mis- take in saving that France had been paid in full and the supplemental notes delivered today were designed to forestall any such suggestions.
