Seized in GERMANY.

The first American war claim against
Germany decided by the mixed claims
commission was awarded yesterday to
the International Harvester Company
for property seized in Germany, valued
at s3.316,765.92.
The commission, composed of both
Americans and Germans, has no power
to collect its authority consisting Of
right to determine Germany's liabilities.
Several other awards are expected
before the commission suspends next
week for the summer, when the German
commissioners, DR.. Kiesselbach, and
members of his staff, leave for home
Germany, to return about October L.
Some of the American officials will go
to Germany later to obtain information
for submission to the commission.
Yesterdays decision was expedited by
an agreement between the representa-
tives of the German and American gov
ernments and was virtually constant
decree. The award. made In restitution
of cash assets of subsidiaries of the In
ternational Harvester Company. seized
by the German government In German
banks. bears interest of per cent, ac-
cording to the terms of the treaty of
Berlin. from December II, 1921. No
brief eontesting the International Har-
vester claim was filed by the German
government, the facts. being uudisputed
and Germany's liabilities unquestioned.
