suite. this being one of the few occasions
when the military and naval attaches
are in full-dress uniform. The precedent
for receiving the guests Of various Of
ficiaf rank is we'll prescribed, and the
pageant a brilliant one. with the MILL

afternoon costumes.
To start mt IL AM.
The reception New Year morning

time.

FRENCHLEAVEU.S, s,
DEBT OFF BALANCE
SHEET LIABILITIES
Obligation to British Also Un-
listed-Credits to Others
Not in Assets.
QUESTION is DISCUSSED
IN STATEMENT, HOWEVER
Finance Minister Clings to Thesis
That France Is Deserving
Of Reduction.

bT the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 27-France's war
debts to America and Great Britain
amounting close to $1,000, ,000,0 900 gold
francs, are absent from the liabilities
OF the French treasury as shown in a
balance sheet issued by the French
ministry of finance today.
The amounts due France from other
countries, including Russia. for war
and postwar advances, amounting to
about $4,000, 100000 gold francs, are
also not included in the assets. The
inventory was issued ''for non-party
purposes" with the view of creating
confidence by clean breast of the
facts, as the document says.
On the other hand, 103. O00 000, 900
paper francs, as the capitalization OF
tire French share in the Dawes plan
annuities. are included in the assets
Debts "Freely Discussed.-
Although the figures are omitted
from the balance sheet, interallie ed
debts are freely discussed throughout
several pages of the inventory
Finance Minister Clementel renew
ing the French thesis that these debts
form part of the general allied resources
pooled in war time. He argues that a
strict equity could seem to demand a
general addition of war expenses and
their distribution among the allies in
proportion to the wealth of each, with
out taking into account special under
takings imposed by monetary neces-
Stiles
The finance minister insists that
France, therefore, is entitled to spe-
cial treatment. He remarks in the
inventory that the choice of French
soil as battlefield saved the allies
much blood and money. He also
AYERS that America and Great Britain
pocketed duties on profits made by
the American and British firms which
fulfilled French wartime orders. He
suggests that the amount OF these
duties should be deducted from the
French debt. ~
NJ Clementel concludes his state
ment by declaring that France has ne
intention of repudiating her debts,
but that she is convinced an appeal
TO conscience and the sentiments of
justice of the allies will not be in
vain.

GERMANY ADMITS
COLOGNE DEFEAT
80
SacrificiaI Directorium Is
Formed for Accepting Die
tates of Allies.

| BY Cable to Tho Star and New York World.
BERLIN, December 27.-Germany
| Is preparing to confess failure of its
attempts to induce the allies to
evacuate Cologne and the left bank
of the Rhine in accordance with the
provisions Of the Versailles treaty.
| The confession Of failure Will be
| made by a directorium formed for
the purpose, consisting of Marx,
Stresemann and Luther, and consti-
| tuting a virtual Dictatorship, though
masked under the name Of temporary
government.
Claiming legal right on her side.
Germany has decided she will submit
| to superior force and then make a
| moral issue OF what she regards as
a violation of the Versailles treaty.
Parties Avoid Blame.
German Reichstag and assume the
tates as the conference of ambassa-
dors in Paris presents. 1t will be a
coalition directoriun, SO that no party
need be blamed for the humility.
Stresemann. who Is the motive
power behind the new directorium,
believes Germany should accept the
allied ultimatum. submitting to the
imposed disarmament regulations
and a prolonged stay on the Rhine.
because Germany will then react in
favor of the nationalist parties. Even
compromise, whereby the Rhine oc-
cupation may be heightened while
the. Ruhr occupation would be
shortened, will find little favor here.
Socialists See Excuse.
The Socialists alone find slight
failure Of the military authorities 8
! here to abide strictly by the dis
| armament restrictions. Even the
democratic Berliner Tageblatt, how
ever, is bitter at Premier Herriot of
France for what is regarded as a
| breach of faith and distortion of
| the Versailles treaty.
Realizing the political capital which
can be made out Of such a situation,
the Germans are, nevertheless, pre-
pared to accept the allied ultimatum.
The directorium, carefully dissociated
| from any particular label, will be the
| sacrificial lamb, and once the crisis
has passed the parties can get to-
gether in a new battle for power.
! Deny Arms Charges.
| The German foreign ofiice tonight
issued complete denial Of the report
of the interallied disarmament con-
| troll commission in the form Of a
statement by the German war minis
! ter, Gessler, who gives a detailed list
| to support his charge against the
French press OF feeding the public
fairy tales OF German war prepara-
tions similar to the wartime atrocity
| tales.
| In one instance, Gessler alleges, the
control commission itself had passed
upon and supervised the manufacture
Of guns. This was the case Of the
$4,000 gun barrels from Krupp's. In
the case Of the II guns found near
koenigsbrueck, Gessler says they
| were target practice rifles. Concern
ing the charge that enough material
| for the equipment Of three cavalry
divisions was found at Dresden, Cess
ler lists 20 old saddles, 43 rusty car
bines, 16 machine guns, and 30 on
through the list Of allied charges of
| treaty violations -
