Paris. March 22.-(By A. P.)-The
Allied delegates to the conference on
the cost of the American Rhineland
army today submitted a new payment
plan to Eliot Wadsworth, assistant Sec
rotary Of the United States treasury,
for transmission to Washington.
The new plan. evolved at a session
lasting nearly four hours, deals with
the question on the basis of IL annual
payments and goes into the mechanism
by which these payments can be made
from German reparations. when or if
paid. giving the United States priority.
Mr.. Wadsworth made number Of
objections to the new plan and asked
If interest would be paid if the install
ments were not Forthcoming during the
II years.
l,.e plan proposes that the armistice
material taken over by the United
States should be accepted as a credit
to the amount of 100000 gold marks.
The suggestion that the German YES
sells seibed by the United States should
count as credit was dropped.
The conference will next meet Tues
day. and meanwhile the Allied repre-
sentatives will confer with a view to
overcoming certain objections made to
the present plan. Mr.. NVadsworth hopes
to have a reply from Secretary of
State Hughes in time for Tuesday
meeting.
Mr.. Wadsworth is understood to have
demanded that. If Germany floats big
reparation loan. the United States be
paid Its $255,000,G00 therefrom.
The impression gained from talking
with the conferees after the meeting
was that the conversations are becom;
ing very complicated. and there was
the further suggestion that they are
not going as smoothly as before.
The absolute priority on. future Ger
man reparations, demanded by the
American representative. seems to
have aroused some opposition among
the Allies. 1t is pointed out that such
priority might mean that the United
States would get very large percent
age of the German payments in those
years in which payments were not
very great, and thus dissatisfaction
would he caused among those countries
which otherwise would receive this
money as reparations.

provisions of the bill.
Il assisted Senator Smith in draw
ing the BILL" said Representative
Barwise. He explained that the pro
ponents would not press the third
section OF the bill. which requires the
ming of lists of members of secret
organizations with town and city
clerks.
The real purpose of the act is COW
cred in the first two sections of the
DILL, continued Representative Bar
wise. He pointed out that the first
section provides that any person who
commits crime or attempts to COM
| NIT crime while masked or dis
Sulsed shall be punished in addition
TO whatever penalty the law may now

forbids any group of three or more
persons above sixteen years of age
from gathering in the open. masked
or disguised. without having first
obtained the permission of the NUM-
ciral officers.
| I'VE have omitted the third section
because it would work unnecessary
