1 By The Associated Press. . New York, Dec. 21.--The Leviathan, queen ship of the American merchant marine, inbound from Cherbourg, to- day grounded on Robins Reef in New York harbor A call was sent for all available tugs.
 The reef is located just north of Tompkinsville, Staten Island. The ship grounded after she had passed in quarantine on the way to her dock.
 The tide was ebbing when the Le- viathan grounded. It will be D. m. before the high water mark again will be reached. The reef is considerably to the west Of the main ship channel.
 o.. Was Trying for Record
 The Leviathan was completing a voyage during which she made an at- tempt to set a new record. Heavy fog, however. slowed her during the last hours of the voyage.
 The Leviathan is booked to go to drydock at Boston after her passen- gers are landed. to undergo repairs.
 Shortly after the Leyiathan ground ed, quarantine reported that the freighter Boden, outbound, was ashore in Gravesend Bay. just outside the narrows. A heavy haze hung over the harbor this morning.
 Half dozen tugs had reached the Levtathan by 11:3o o'clock and had made fast They tugged away vigor- ously but were unable to budge her, with low water mark about an hour ahead.
 The Leviathan appeared to be stuck in the edge of the mud on the edge of the channel and in no danger.
 Had to Manc,iyer
 Because of her great bulk and draught the Leyiathan is one of the most difficult vessels in the world to maneuver. More than 300 feet long and 100 feet broad. she draws 40 feet. 1t was necessary to dredge the en- trance to the harbor at Newport News before she could enter that port for

GREAT BRITAIN
TO DRAFT REPLY
ON PREPARATION
Premier Baldwin Announces
in House Of Commons That
Effort Will be Made to
Reach Understanding
fBy The Associated Press. J

LONDON. July 12-Great Britain
has informed France and Italy that she
is ready To assume the responsibility of
preparing the draft ~ the. reply 10 the
German rei,arations note. The reply
will be submitted 10 the allies with the
least possible delay in the hope that
they will agree 10 its terms. Announce
ment 10 this effect was made by Premier
Baldwin today in the house Of commons
while discussing Great Britain's repara-
ton policy.
The British government. he said, in
vites the sympathy of the allies and
all interested states for proposal which
aims solely nj the pacification Of Europe
and the recovery of an exhausted world.
He failed TO state what the British pro-
posai will be-
Replying to questions by Ramsay
Macdonald, the opposition leader. Pre-
mier Baldwin said that the reply to
Germany would be proceeded - birth
with, and would say tomorrow whether
the reply WAS being communicated to
che. United States.
Commander Kenorthy, liberal mem
Der, asked whether the government has
approached or been approached by the
United States in the matter Of repara-
ticns. Premier Baldwin's reply was des-
cribed as inaudible, but the belief was
expressed by those near him that he
said referring to the position of the
allies that the exchange Of friendly
conversations had not appeared to lead
TO positive results, and that il Is be-
coming evident that the attitude of the
principal parties must be more clearly
defined.
It was later learned that Baldwin
told Kenworthy he required notice Of
the question before answering.
Premier Baldwin stated that he held
that a debtor nation should not mere
ly be called upon to pay debt. but
should be placed in position to dc
so.
