Kahn, chairman of the house military affairs committee today told the house. I While it was arranged that this expense should be borne by the German government I fear that much of it will fall utimately upon the American taxpayer, said Kahn.' Germany has paid 483,000,000 marks on account, he said. He expressed the view also that the U. S. would get little by way of reparation from Germany. \
