AMERICANS BACK
HIGH GERMAN TAX
DItfer With British Experts
on ReparationS Figure.
Decision Due Soon.
BY The Associat ted Press.

BY The Associated Press
PARIS, April 1.-The reparation ex-
perts of the Dawes committee met at
4:3O o'clock this afternoon with the
prospect brighter than at any time
this week for a speedy winding up of
their work.
Although Gen. Dawes and owen D.
Young, his American associate, have
booked their passage tentatively for
April %, their assistants and counsel
ors are planning an earlier depart
ure, probably the end of next week.
The amount of the reparation bur
den to be laid upon the German rail-
roads was expected to be settled this
afternoon with the smoothing out of
the differences that have existed be-
tween the English and American del
egates on this point. The English
contended that the percentage from
the loan based on the railways was
excessive, while the Americans have
argued that it was far less than the
burden the railroads in the United
States We're called upon to bear after
the civil war. They have thus po-
litely but firmly refused to follow the
British idea that the taxation stand
ard demanded of the Germans was
too high.

his colleagues. IF we fix any lower
figure our people. checking the
figures, will upbraid us for letting
them off over-eaSily.

MUNICH, Bavaria, April 1.-The

the picture OF an armed camp today

German field marshal, was acquitted

The trial at Munich occupied more

A strong feeling in favor of Luden-

his natiOnalistic beliefs, marked the
entire proceedings.
