.U.S..MAY OPEN
NEGOTIATIONS
WITH GERMANY
Hughes Proposes Tribunal for
Settlement of American
Claims.
Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Rhlla Aelnhia Rllhlin I.AdzaK


and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
WASHINGTON, jan 26.-Direct nego-
tiations with Germany resulting possibly
In a new treaty creating a tribunal for
the settlement of American claims
against Germany arising out OF events
leading up to and including the war were
said to have been agreed upon et =
recent conference at the White House.
The conference was attended by Secre-
tary Of State Hughes and congressional
leaders and covered in addition only tho
Liberian loan, according to those present
The conference bore in no way upon
the Genoa conference or matters concern
ing the ornaments conference and do
nestle legislation, It was said, but was
confined entirely TO the two aforemen-
toned questions.
Secretary Of State Hughes laid before
the congressional leaders present the
alternatives for settling the American
claims against Germany offering adjust
ment through the agencies Of the League
of Nations or through direct negotia-
tons resulting possibly in the settling up
of a special tribunal to make settle
me1ts. The consensus was said to favor
strongly the latter course.
CLAIMS DIVIDED
IN TWO CLASSES.
Under the latter arrangement It was
explained following the conference, there
would be two classes Of claims TO settle,
the first being those arising out Of the
sinking Of the Lusltania and similar
actions Of Germany prior to the war and
those growing out OF the seizure Of
American property in Germany during
the war. Such settlements were said to
be necessary before final disposition
could be made Of the German property
now held by this country.
The Liberian loan involves about $5.-
900. 900, which the Wilson administration
negotiated to advance to the African
State. The discussion at the White
House turned upon the future course
Of this Administration as regards ths
loan.
COUNTRY HELD
BOUND MORALLY.
Up to date no more than between
$4,000 and $4,000 has been advanced
Liberia, owing to discovery Of the in
adequacy Of the terms covering repay
ment. While this country, under the
conditions, would not be legally bound
to carry out the loan. the decision was
said to have been reached that the money
should be advanced IN full with the
reopening Of negotiations to settle the
unsatisfactory points. This country was
said TO be morally bound to take such
course.
Besides the President and the Sec
rotary Of State, those who attended the
conference were Senators Lodge Of Mass
achusetts, chairman Of Foreign Relations
Committee; McCumber of North Dakota,
chairman Of the Finance Committee;
Kellog OF Minnesota; Brandegee Of
Connecticut, and Lenroot Of Wisconsin,
and Representative Monden Of Wyoming,
Republican leader; Representative Porter
Of Pennsylvania, chairman OF Foreign
Affairs; Speaker Gillette; Representative
Fordney Of Michigan, chairman OF Ways
and Means Committee, and Representa-
