CAN'T PAY JAN. IS,
GERMANY ADMITS
Berlin Declares Inability to

By the Associsted Press.
BERLIN, January 6.--Ths German
government yesterday admitted its
inability to meet the payment Of
500. 100000 gold marks which is due
January Is, in accordance with the,
London reparations schedule, as 1t
naturally assumed that the whole
question of reparations Would be
subjected to overhauling after the
German payment of treasury bonds
to Belgium.
When the brief moratorium was
granted to Germany. the government
announces. II was believed the repa-
rations commission would be in a po-
sition TO devise a new schedule which
would become effective with the new
year. AS authority for its inability
TO meet the January payment. official
quarters cite the reparations plan of
Premier Poincare, which designates
as indispensable a two-year mora
torium for Germany.
Demands Must BE Authorized.
The government apparently now Is
awaiting some sort OF communica-
ton from the reparations commission
and in all probability will counter
IN uitimatum from France by making
reference TO the treaty proviso which
prescribes that the reparations de-
mands must be authorized and sup
ported unanimously by the commits
sion. 1t is pointed out in some quar-
ters, however, that NJ. Poincare has

CROWDED D. c. SCHOOL
IS CAUSE OF PROTEST
1S0 Pupils Must Use Four-Room
Building-Bigger Quarters
Urged.

A four-room school for $50 pupils
studying in eight grades was the
principal problem taken up for dis
cussion at the meeting of the Chillum
Castle-Woodburn Citizens Associa-
ton last night In the Woodburn
School
This is really a grave situation"
said Charles A. Langley, president Of
the association, for IL means that
none of these $50 pupils is receiving
more than half days instruction
any day of the week and this is cer-
tainly inadequate training and a
problem to be solved at once. Mrs.
Lena 7. Brown, our acting secretary,
has taken this matter up with the
gone to the Board OF Trade about It.
Between them think we may be
able to secure a temporary building,
at least to accommodate these pu-
pills so that they can have full school
sessions"
A special resolution was passed to
have some definite action taken toward
securing these additional quarters be-
fore the next meeting. IL possible.
Another resolution adopted was the
Endorsement of the teachers salary bill
and of the compulsory education bill.
The association also resolved to abide
by the appropriations for school work
in the District, as granted by Congress.
Ine matter or the extension of New
Hampshire avenue from Grant Circle
TO the District line and necessary re-
pair work on the Riggs road, on which
the school is located, was also dis
cussed, and 1t was voted that the mat
ter be taken up with Congress. MIR.
Langley will go with the other mem
bers OF that committee to consult Rep
resentative Ben johnson Of Kentucky,
who is interested In this matter, and to
invite him to see the actual state of

Aid Of U. S. Only Remedy Seen
For Franco-British Rupture
French Declare Differences Bet,Ueen Ma
tioss Date Back to 18th Century and
Need Mediator for Settlement.

French opposition to British views
is founded upon equally strong rea-
sons. Not only do urgent financial
oblige France to de-
there are political reasons as well.
France, which from 1871 TO 1914 lived
in constant fear OF German aggres-
sion and from 1914 to 1918 lived in
fear of irremediabie defeat, considers
that only a gtrtct execution of the
treaty OF vsrsaiiies can guarantees its
French, only . firm application of the
treaty will convince Germany of. it's
defeat and so bring about new
spirit.
Everything has tended to show
that this esseItiSn sro OF sss and ean
will. The coming of resigned and
repentant Germany is myth. Moth
ing but constraint or a threat thereof
can produce results.
Need u. 8. Aid.
Thus there is. a fundamental di-
vergence> between the French and
British views, but for the time being
both countries nevertheless have pre-
dominant interests In continuing col
iabofation in certain respects. Great
Britain has too many troubles in the
near east, In India, Egypt and Ireland
not to mention economic troubles, to
enter upon policy of open opposi-
tion TO France. Similarly. France. too
ls too greatly weakened by the w1
and too embarrassed financially to d.
anything but seek a compromise.
1t Is to be feared, nevertheless, that
in the long run this fundamental diff
ference will increase rather than d.
minish. Some French diplomats fear
ed that after the end of the war
Great Britain would be tempted to
take advantage of Frances dificuit
position to reduce this country to !
sort of British satellite. and hoped ac'
cordingly that the United State,
would continue In collaboration with
France and Great Britain, so as to re.
establish the balance. Statesmen
here. in the interest of civilization
assert this view. but they add tina
the American return to cooperation
must not be too long delayed. More
over. IL the United States intends Il
be really useful. say the French. i
must appear as an impartial frieaC
and not merely as protagonist q

GERMANSCHARG
FRAUD IN PARIS
Berlin Believes Law Purpose
b Withdrew to Let French
Take Lead.
BY GEORGE WHITE.

BY Gable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
Copyright, 1928.
BERLIN. January 6.-Germany ac-
cuses Prime Minister Bonar Law of
playing the role OF PLATE in the pres
ent reparations drama. In circles close
to Wilhelmstrasse IL 10 said that
Bonar Law withdrew from the Paris
conference so readily and Ia now
willing to wash his hands of any ac-
tion that Premier Poincare may un-
dertake independently with regar !
to occupying the Ruhr because at
Laussane France has made far recah-
ing concessions to Great Britain in
the Mosul oil question.
Conferences Interwovea.
AS Berlin views the situation the
threads of the secret allied diplomacy
at Laussane and Paris were closely
of enmeshing Germany, Turkey and
Russia. but also of getting the best
of the United States In the oil ques-
tion. France, according to German
opinion, will bring pressure to bear
upon her friend Mustapha Kemal
Great Britain and give the British
the first choice in the oil deals.
In return France promises to con-
tinue supporting Kemal Pasha both
financially and politically. On the
other hand. Great Britain. say the
Germans. has let NJ. Poincare carry
out his long cherished plan. of using
troops to bring Germany to terms.
Though these German charges have
not been printed in the newspapers
almost all of them agree that there
is scarcely a chance of the British
Intervening in the present reparations
situation in an. effort to prevent the
occupation of the Ruhr.
Eyes ,on Washington.
The eyes OF most Germans are on
Washington, where they hope that
plans are being made right at this
time to save Germany from further
destruction. Nobody has a clear idea
of how the United States can sudden
ly step in and save the situation. But
although Germany has been disap-
pointed time and time again In her
hopes that the United States would
help. this great faith In Uncle Sam
remains and is as strong today as
II was when the armistice was signed
four years ago. The big question in
the minds of most Germans is "wiil
the United States disappoint US

PARIS. January Sin France the
publication of the British reparatiorfs
plans has produced profound disil-
lusionment." according to state
ment by a high. French authority.
Hitherto the French people have at
tributed most of the Franco British
disagreements to the former British
prime minister, and Andrew Bonar
Laws advent as the head OF the Brit
ish ministry inspired immense hope.
But Bonar Laws plan appears to be
only slightly different from that of
his predecessor. 1t represents. there
fore. not the changing policy of in
dividuals, but the continuing policy
of a national and French opinion
henceforth will be unable to distin-
guish between the British people and
the British government.
THE Frarco-British controversy in
wolves the basic policy of the two
countries. From the beginning of the
Paris peace negotiations the British
policy began to appear, and still so
appears. as singularly indulgent to
Germany and ready to take all pre-
cautions against the rising power of
France. Moreover. first Lloyd George
and then Bonar Law have merely con-
tinued in new terms Britain's tradi-
tional policy-that OF Pitt in the
eighteenth century and of Canning.
Palmerston and Salisbury In the nine
teenth century.
Fears French Power.
British supremacy, which was ex-
ercised uninterruptedly on the Euro
pean continent from the defeat Of
Louis XIV to the world war, has been
based on this so-called policy of eQui-
librium, which In the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries opposed British
to French power. and In the twentieth
century opposed the Franco British
entente to the German power. Pres
ent-day Great Britain fears the
growth OF French power as much as
did the Britain Of old. II is this po-
litical principle rather than economic
considerations which causes Great
Britain's hostility to the French plans
