mands for an increased

-tP)-Philip Snowden, British chan
cellor Of the exchequer. today. had
under consideration a new offer Of
France, Italy. Belgium and Japan

an increased share of German repair
ationS.
The experts of the four powers esti-
mated the offer represented IS per
cent of the amount which Mr.. Snow

British quarters there was some
doubt as to whether 1t represented
that nigh q proportion.
In French circles 1t was made
known the offer was regarded as the
last concession toward the British
stand that the four powers would
make.
Renews Hopes
The new proposal delivered late last
night in writing was assumed here to
have found worthy Of close examina-
tion by the British chancellor at least
and this has given rise to renewed
hopes among the diehard optimists
at the reparations conference.
A meeting Of the four powers In
terested in evacuation Of the Rhine
land which was to have been held to-
day, was postponed subject to call.
All other activities OF the conference
also were put off until Chancellor
Snowden's decision Is made known.
Increases British Share
According to estimates Of the ex-
perts Of the four powers the written
offer to Great Britain proposed {
change In distribution and In alloca-
ton Of the German payments which
will increase the British share In an
nuities about $4,000. 900 marks (about
4e.64O, ,O0O) annually.
This Is three quarters Of the 5000.
900, marks increase (about 4ll $40. .O00l
demanded By Mr.. 6nowden. There
was sleepticism In British quarters a
the emactitude Of these figures, and
even In French and italian circles Il
was admitted some elements OF thu
offer were subject to various inter
pretations.

region. from Keokuk, Iowa, to Louis

danger Of breaking.
A rise Of another foot here would
probably send the river through o.
over al the dikes in this vicinity, 1t
was predicted, The water reached
2l.5 feet on the Quincy gauge at mid
night. South Quincy last night faced
its most serious situation since the
high water began in March. A hole
developed In the levee and workmen
were kept busy all night to prevent
a break. It is estimated that there
are approximately q million dollars

Of the most fertile in the endangered

mained on patrol duty there.
Concern was still felt today for the
Gregory district, north Of Canton,

day night. Hopes that the crest had
been reached were based on reports
from Burlington, Iowa. Keokuk and
other points to the north that the
river had either remained stationary
or dropped. and that the Skunk,
Cedar, Iowa and ,Des Moines rivers
had fallen since Sunday. when they
overfIowed their banks.
The Fabius river rose yesterday.
but no especial concern was felt since
this stream was the one which broke
through in Marion county, Mo-. last
Saturday and its damage has already
been done.
The present flood Il the most mem
acing that has swept this section In

since 1851, when the great flood Of
that year sent the river to 22.5 feet,
