PoINcARE ANSWERS CUNo.
Absurd to Say Allies Can Demand
Only Cash, He Declares.
By The Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, March 9-Premier Poin-
care, replying to memorandum dis
tiibuted to the diplomatic corps by
Germany on February Is, last night
issued a long statement in which he
says 1t is absurd for the Germans to
pretend that the allies could only
demand additional cash as penalty
for the non-delivery OF lumber and
coal, since Germany at the same
time was declaring to the repara-
tions commission that she could pay
no cash at all.
As to the German contention, that in
any case. the allies were not warrant
ed In occupying more German terri
tory, NJ. Poincare recalls that the
protocol OF Spa, IN which is recorded d
the agreement with the Germans re.
gaTding coal deliveries, contained a
statement to the effect that II the
quantities provided for were not de-
livered within the dates mentioned
the allies could proceed to the occu-
patton Of new part Of German ter
ritory, either in the Ruhr or else
where. NJ. Poincare observes that the
Germans did not protest against this
provision.
To the German contention that the
word "respective'' in Article XVIII of
the treaty of Versailles does not mean
right to act Independently In the ap-
plication Of penalties. NJ. Poincare
says the Germans already have profit
ed from an Interpretation OF that
clause which was contrary TO their
own Interpretation. He refers to the
case of Great Britain's separate ac-
tion in renouncing rights under Ar
cerned property Of German nationals
seized.

KMCKERBOCKER CASE .
ARGUMENTS HEARD
Decision on Whether Litigants
Have Right to Joint Action
May Be Reserved.

Justice Hoehling Of the District
Supreme Court today heard argu-
ments OF counsel on the question OF
tho right OF the legal representative
Of victims OF tho Knickerbocker
Theater disaster to Join in the same
suit for damages against tho theater
company. the architect, the iron
fabricator, the cement man ana the
building inspector. Decision will
probably be reserved.
Attorney Daniel Thew Wright, fol-
Reginald W. Geare, the architect, at
tackled the nifty declarations askins T
damages Of 100000, on the ground
that there had been q mistoinder OF
both parties and causes of action
He claimed there was no Joined lia-
bility between these several persons
engaged in constructing tho building
because on their face the declarations
state each had a separate duty and q
separate cause for action should lie
for the negligence. Il any. Of each OF
the parties sued.
Attorney Charles A. Douglas for the
victims OF the catastrophe defended
the declarations as drawn. He as
serted that in q civil actin there car
be joint and several liabilities az
long as the actions Of tho several
parties relate to the one cause of the
disaster. The rule In such cases ts
not as drastic as IN a criminal charge
he claims, where intent would have

trouble, first, to the difference OF
view between America and England
regarding how far financing the war
should be a great cooperative ef-
fort, and. second, to the fact that the
United States government, when 1t
came into the war did not see it's way
to adopt the British suggestion that
''as we had borne the main burden
OF financing the European allies dur
ing the early years of the war, Amer
lea, who came fresh into the great
struggle, might relieve us Of that
part Of our difficulties"
Balfour pointed out that had Amer
lea adopted this suggestion there
would have been no American loan
TO Great Britain, and many controver-
sizes would have been avoided and in
ternational arrangements would have
followed another course. He repudi-
ated any idea Of questioning the
American decision, but said Il in
volved Great Britain in continuing
to bear double burden.
Thus reviewing the whole circum-
stances OF the case in order to justify
the tenor of his note. Lord Balfour
admitted that the transactions In
question were not inaccurateIy,
though 1t must be confessed were
most imperfectly summarized IN the
phrase TO which objection was taken.
Seeks Reason for Critfcism.
He then passed to what was perhaps
the most important part OF his ex-
PLANTATION, which seemed to seek to
find some extenuation or justification
for Ambassador Harvey's criticism in
the difference of view held on the two
sides of the Atlantic-the American
view that financial arrangements be-
tween the partners in the great war
were isolated undertakings which he
assumed Mr.. Harvey regarded as nee
essary III the sanctity OF contracts
was to be maintained" and which, in
the ambassadors view, will confer
actual benefits on the debtor himself
by improving his general credit"
Lord Balfour concluded with an ex-
preston Of his own less commercial''
view and final tribute to the fact
that America had given effect to her
own view in q manner least likely to
inJure the happy relations between
the two peoples.
