released on parole six and one-hali
years later.
Today he entered a plea of guilty
to the two charges, arising out OF
quarrel with his second wife

and was sent back to prison for siz
years. His parole probably will be
revoked, and he will be compelled
to serve out the old sentence befora
entering on the one imposed today.
The court declared Chase to be

BERLIN REJECTS
PREPARATIONS,
OFFER
By OTTO d. TOLIsCHUS

BERLIN, March % Q.N.S.).---Ger-
many has tentatively rejected the
Allied PREPARATION plan because 1t
ties UP reparations and Allied war
debts, 1t was learned here this
afternoon.
The Allied reparation experts de-
manded that Germany not only pay
the PREPARATION obligations, but an
additional amount to make up the
allied war debts to the United
States, according to reports here.
So far as the German govern.
ment is informed, the Allies insist
that Germany pay annufties begin.
ming with 1900, 900 900 marks and
rising to 2,700, 100000 marks for 81
years to cover both reparations and
Allied war debts to America.
The reperation obligation would
then be paio. but the Allies demand
that Germany continue to pay
1000. 100000 marks annually for an
additional % wears to cover Allied
payments to the United States.
Germany is thus asked to pay as
long as the Allies pay to America.
This Is now 50 years.
1t is rumored here that the figure
of 1.750 900. 900 marks. which is now
being mentioned. represents an
offer supposed to have been made
by DIR. Hjalmar Schacht, leader of
the German reparation delegation
on his own responsibility as to the
size OF German annuities, but this
is denied.
Following his return here from
Paris. DR.. Schacht, who also IL head
of the Reichsbank. held a confer.
ence at that institution. Later 1t
was stated that the outlook is pes
sinistic and that the repaI8tion
conference may be postponed until
autumn.
The other German reparation
delegate, Albert Voegler, a leading
Ruhr industrialist. also arrived here
from Paris. He conferred secretly
with Fritz ThysseD and Paul Silver.
