PARIS, March 22.-The alleged Sc

Prague and Paris as a complete
forgery-even a. clumsy forgery, for
it is said to contain glaring internal
evidence of ignorant fabrication.
For example, it IS signed Raymond

is violating the clauses Of the Yer

Gen. Won Seeckt's letter to Prof
Quidde last February, threatening him
with court-martial If he ventured t.

prominence, as are also the conclusions
of Constantine Browns recent series OF

cussion at which all the parties will

The conference, he continued. had
already reached certain understand
ings which it wished to communicat te
to and discuss with the German gov
eminent with a view to reaching an
agreement. He emphatically re-
minded the Germans, as he had re-
minded the allied delegates when the
conference opened, that the only
business before the delegates was the
Dawes report, and that the deliberations
must be confined to that subject.
Hope for Cooperation.
The prime minister expressed the
hope that by the exercise of a spirit
of cooperation the London conference
of 1924 would reach a successful con-
clusion at the earliest possible mo-
ment and thus make really possible
friendly relations among the various
European governments
/. Chancellor Marx replied in German,
which was translated into English
and French. He thanked the British
prime minister for the welcome ex-
tended, and he outlined the principles
the Germans purposed to follow. He
said it was a task of the greatest i'm
portance that the conference was con-
fronting. for upon its success depend
ed the fate Of Germany and the fate
of Europe. Good will and sincerity
were necessary for success. and in
that spirit the German delegation
purposed to negotiate.
The German chancellor confirmed
the declaration that the German gov
ernment regarded the Dawes report
as a suitable basis for the solution
of the reparation problem. He said
his government was ready tO go

ahead with the draft bills prepared
by the organizing committee of the
Dawes report and which must be
passed in Berlin before the scheme
can become effective.
The German delegation" he con-
tinued, sees in the Dawes report
something which will and must lead
the. German people to freedom and
peace and which will give them an
opportunity with the other peoples to
aid in the reconstruction of Europe.
IF the conference succeeds, as the
German delegation hopes it will, the
entire German people, as soon as the
essential conditions for their free
economic activity have been restored,
will devote its entire strength to car
rying out the obligations involved
in the Dawes report,
