Paris, April 20 R-Efforts to re- vive the almost dead reparations conference went on steadily today. but the prospect looked exceedingly dark.
 The Germans were understood to be willing to increase their Pepara- tions offer slightly. but they were frank to intimate that they saw no real hope of the present conference reaching an accord.
 Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, leader Of the German delegation, has been talking with Owen D. Young and the allied delegates at informal conferences on the situation, at the same time exploring the possibility of 10 year agreement. He appear ed at the Hotel George V this morning and went into conference. with MT. Young, Thomas w. La. mont and two other reparations ex- perts. He looked very grave and tired. His usual smile was missing.
 The worldwide blame upon the Germans for wrecking the confer- ence, as reported in the press. OF the Berlin cabinets reported dis approval today seemed to have softened the German firmness. Ths delegation, however, still asserted that it was composed of ''independ- ent experts They said they were neither taking nor asking the ca bi- nets instructions and cont .nded they were seeking only ssluotnmo which they, as experts and as Ger. mans, could approve.
 Only Political Compromise
 Any compromise much above their figures of 37 annuities of 1,- $50 100000 marks {about 3396,0OO,- 000), the Germans asserted, could be made only for political reasons and would have to be made by the home politicians and not by then. for. they repeated. they are Imam cial experts and are determined to promise only what can be done.
 In any case, the Germans inu- mated, they were thoroughly tired of discussing vital matters in large committees and declared their only hope of progress lay in private con- versations such as Dr. Schacht Was now engaged in.
 Nothing was known of how much higher the Germans would go if m accord seemed remotely possible. They haven't even reached the point yet. the Germans said. where it appeared proba ble that negotia- tions could continue. In fact. Dr. Schacht's first move yesterday after the plenary session which adjourned out of respect to the late Lord Revelstoke. was to inquire if the figures presented by the allies wers subject to reduction. He was in. formed there was little likelihood of a decrease.
 While the hope that the confer- ences might result in a reopening of the negotiations existed, it was felt that it was more likely the discM- sions would turn toward eonsidera. tion of how the separations commit. tee shall announce termination of fs work

 Pneumonia
TEUTONIC MIlTARIST
 LONG IN POOR HEALTH

Widely Known in United States by
 Reason of Visit in 1902 to Attend
 Launching at Jersey City of
 Former Emperor's Yacht Meteor"
 Won Rank of Rear Admiral and
 Was 6s Years Old.
 Hemmelmark. Germany. April 20 R-Prince Henry of Prussia. broth- CT of the former kaiser, died here today of pneumonia.
 Prince Henry. who was widely known in the United States for his visit there in 1902 to attend the launching and christening of his brothers yacht Meteor" at Jersey City, was 6e years old and had been in poor health for several years.
 Prince Henry of Prussia, devoted his active life to the Fatherland in the naval Servlce.
 He enlisted in the navy upon com- pleting his education in 1877. Ad- vancing rapidly through the various commissioned grades. he attained the rank of admiral in 1906 and was made chief of the active high seas fleet Three years later. in Septem- Der, he retired from that command and became inspector general of the navy with the rank of grand ad- miral.
 During the World war Prince Henry confined himself to the role of observer on various battle fronts. After the revolution in Germany he retired to his estate at Hemmels- mark, near Kiel. from which he emerged only occasionally.
 The prince never played much of . role politically. However. he was dispatched at various times on im- portant missions of political nature, but always was bound close ly by instructions from his brother so that he had no opinion of his own to register.
 Visited United States
 His first assignment of this sort was in 1896. when he represented his imperial brother at the coronation at Moscow of Nicholas II of Russia. Six years later. in -February. 1903, the prince visited the United States on what has been regarded as the most important diplomatic mission of his career.

N the press, boarded the steamer
with the doctors at quarantine. He
had heard, in the peculiar fashion
of newspaper men, of Rita's death
and had called on Bob, to express
mis- sympathy. From Bob he learned
of Molly's promise to care for little
Rita, and learned also that Molly
was returning or the Conte Grande.
He greeted her in characteristic
fashion.
Woman, what you been doing to
yourself? You look like hell"
That's the way 1 feel" she told
him. Wasn't it dreadful about
Rita!"
Tough" he sympathized. "Aw-
full tough. What's this I hear about
you taking the kid?"

Il saw her. Awful cute kid. You

Molly smiled family.
"Bob?" she asked. Poor Bob!
How is he, Red?"
Bearing up drawled Red.

say. He's got a frowsy little dame
to keep him company"

"It's rotten" he affirmed.

They were standAlg together, wait

"Look!" she exclaimed. There's

"Bob!" she called.
He came toward them, looking
back over his shoulder. in a per-
picked sort of fashion. He wore a
mourning band on the sleeve of his
gray suit, and a black tie.
He took her hand in both of his.
And she saw that there we're tears in
his mild. blue eyes. Despite the
frowsy lady-despite whatever he
might have done-she felt over
whelmingly sorry for him.

VERY strange. Jack was here mo-
ment ago. He seems to have disap-

he's low as the devil. I know he'd
be glad to hear from you"
''If he's going to act like spoiled
baby. I'm not going to humor him."
she declared.
But at the Grand Central, while
the boys were at the ticket Office,
she slipped away to call him.
And, when she heard his voice,
her heart began beating in terrific
fashion, so that even her throat
was throbbing. Jack had a nice
deep voice, with a caressing sort
of timbre.
Hello" he said.
Hello, yourself" she cried, try
ing to keep the quaver out of her
voice. Whats the big idea? Bob
said you we're at the pier. Why
didn't you speak to me?"
"You didn't look like you were ex-
pecting me-" he told her.
We'll, I wasn't. I didn't expect
Red either. He came on at quar-
antine."N
yeah? Well, he doesn't waste
any time-I'll say that for him.
"Oh. Jack. what's the matter with
you, dear? You're not hurt because
Red had his arm around me, are
you? 1 was feeling awfully faint.

Molly'S manner cooled.
Now see here, Jack Wells, if
you're going to be unreasonable like
that! Oh, what's the use of being
hateful? I want so much to see
you. I've missed you awfully. I felt
dreadfully because you never wrote
me. And I was worried to death.

to keep a tryst with the girl. There

purchased by the girls mother.
Both parents were subsequently

There was a tremendous furore,
with the press screaming for con-

Molly's synpathies were with the

When farming has reached its low
