Heads of Federated States

BERLIN, Sept. 22.-Germany de

Allied sources here tonight ind
Gated the offer would be accepted.
The struggle of wills in the Ruhr
which has cost a hundred lives and
a billion dollars is expected to end
next week.
The German cabinet met with
Chancellor Stressemann late TODAY
today and decided that the passive
resistance for which the government
has paid out quatrillion Of marks
must cease if the republic is to be
saved from economic disaster and
revolution.
1t voted, therefore, to exceed IFS
offer of Wednesday, made through
the Belgian minister. This offe.
had two conditions attached:
L. Release of. Ruhr prisoners held
by the French.
2. Return Of persons deported.
The new decision is for surrender
without conditions.
Allies Position
Allied representatives, believing
this proposal would be acceptable,
said the French and Belgians were
disposed to return the captives, and
those deported, voluntarily, follow
ing the capitulation.
With Ruhr resistance called off,
discussion Of reparations ON a scale
larger than Germany hitherto has
agreed to is in order.

elusive information regarding the Of

lister Wednesday, twenty-four hours
before any other press association.

conditional offer from unquestion-
able sources inside the government.
Besides accepting the German sur.
render and making certain concesl
sions regarding prisoners, etc, the
allies are understood to be prepared
to withdraw part of their Ruhr
troops.

really amounts to little more than
total surrender to France
