offset the reaction expected from the

statement says, categorically, that the

that the allied soIdiery will retire

from history and is therefore to be
scrutinized with great care. In es-
sence 1t Is said to formulate plans
whereby the entire structure Of Ger
man industry will be placed In pawn
to foreign nations as the basis Of an
international loan which Is to be used
to pay part of the country's Indemnity.
Underground reports from Swltzer-
land say that the German movement
has proceeded to the extent that n
tender Of the equivalent of ten billions
Of dollars In gold was made to a French
emissary. This offer Is the largest
that has ever been made and Is con-
siderably higher than Chancellor
Cuno's tender at Paris. the rejection
Of which was signalized by the occu-

offer will unquestionably result In the
immediate retirement Of the French
from the invaded district, as soon as
satisfactory guarantees have been
made.
As the French have taken one leaf
out of Blsmarck's book by occupying
territory. they will not act hastily
In consenting to reduction Of the
