REPARATION IS OFFERED BY GERMANY Equivalent of About $7,500,000,000 Proposed to Allies

as Settlement Proposal Meets Cold Reception. REPLY ONWEDNESDAY By Associated Trass) LONDON. . March 1. Germany, through her delegates to the conference with the allies here today, made reparation .offers of approximately 30 billion gold marks, or about $7,500,000,000. . It was understood outside the conference that after Dr. Simons, the German foreign minister, had finished his statement on reparations to the conferees, Mr. Lloyd George, the British premier, replied In substance that unless the Germans had something more to offer than appeared in Dr. Simons's statement there was no need of continuing the conference. Reply Wednesday Mr. Lloyd George told the German foreign minister: "If the written proposals are of the same general character jfts the explanation of them, it isn't worth while for us to read them. You have a complete lack of comprehension of the position of tbe allies and of your own position. We will discuss among ourselves our reply and give it to you tomorrow at 11 o'clock." When the Germans left the conference they appeared to be greatly depressed. Premiers Lloyd George and Briand werer smiling as they came from the conference chamber. Visit Embassy. Before going to Lancaster house, , where the conference began, the German representatives paid a visit to their country's embassy. When they left their hotel the German delegates were a little doubtful as to what was expected of them at the conference. They said they did not know whether they were to present a memorial, which they claimed showed Germany's inability to pay the reparations demanded in the terms fixed-by the supreme council at Paris, or a counter proposal to the allied demands. . . All Reticent. They were accompanied to Lancaster house by a number of secretaries. General Von Seech t was ready to attend the conference should the disarm- ' ament Question, be taken, up... while - Hen? Schroeder of the finance department. Dr. Theodor Lewald, and Herr Lesulre, of the Ministry of Interior, wete ready to give advice to the Chief ' German representatives. The whole delegation was very reticent: and was not hopeful as to the outcome of the meeting. "It is what happens at Berlin, where the final decision will be taken," said one of the Germans, "which really matters." France Strong. The French government was strongly represented at the conference by three of the most Influential members of her cabinet in addition to Premier Briand. They were Louis Loucheur, minister of liberatedregions; M. Barthou, minister of war. and M. Doumer, minister of finance. In addition. Philippe Berthelot, general secretary of the French foreign office, was in attendance. Before entering the conference this morning. M. Loucheur said: "We are ready to receive and courteously examine any proposal the Germans make regarding the terms and conditions for the payment of reparations. It is not impossible that they have something better to suggest than the allied terms, In which case, if it were equivalent to the global reparations fixed in the Paris agreement, the allies will no doubt accept them. But not one sou below the amount determined in Paris will be acceptable. The British. Italian and Japanese governments, as well as the French government, have decided that those terms formed the minimum amount Germany must pay, and there can be no reduction." Lloyd George Opens. Premier Lloyd George opened the proceedings by informing the Germans that the conference first would take up the reparations question, and would thfn discuss disarmament. Dr. Simons asrreed, and commenced to deliver his statement. The people of London displayed great curiosity in the German delegation, many spectators gathering parly this morning in the neighborhood of Lancaster house. The Germans left the'r hotel by a rear exit, and hurried off in motors. WASHINGTON. Marrh 1. Germany has pubmitted to the allied reparations commission a list of reparations and navments' to the amount of 21,000,nn0.000 gold marks, or approximately five and f quarter billion dollars, which she claims to have made up to last Jan. 21. according to advices received today in official circles. The advices give the basis for the claim as made by Germany that she has complied with article 23S of the treaty of Versailles under which she obligated to pay before May 1, 1921, the equivalent of 20 billion gold marks, "in order to enable the allied and associated powers to proceed at once to the restoration of their industrial and economic life." Value Lower. The allied reparations commission, however, is' understood to have valued the payments which Germany thus claims to have made in the form of merchant marine, railroad rolling stock, submarine cables, etc., at only one-tenth of the 0 billion figure. The most material difference between the amount which Germany asks to be allowed and that tentatively fixed by the allies concerns the former German merchant marine which was entered on the reparations list by Germany at more than seven billion markB but which the allies are (Continued on Page Sevenl

One person is dead and four others are suffering from wounds received when the presidential guard fired upon a mob which broke into the executive mansion- here yesterday. One of the injured was Domingo Turner, who was the chief organized of the demonstration here when General Pershing visited the canal zone last year. American troops arrived at the home of President Porras just in time to save the president's life. Senor Porras was conferring with William Jennings Price, U. S. Minister to Panama, and Colonel J. Morrow, acting governor of the canal zone, when a crowd which had gathered in front of the palace became threatening. A request was immediately sent to the commandant of the United States troops in the canal zone, asking him to send soldiers to the palace. Before they arrived, however, a portion of 'the crowd had broken in one of the doors and had been fired upon. A demonstration called for yesterday afternoon was declared off. U. S. Troops Are Guards. Quiet and order had been completely restored last night. Saloons both at Panama and Colon had been closed, while U. S. troops guarded the presidential palace during the night, in spite of the president's request for their withdrawal. Reports of all governmental activities since Feb. 21, when Costo Rican forces suddenly occupied the town of Coto, on the Pacific end of the boundary between that country and Panama, were laid before the national essembly by President Porras today, in extraordinary session. Bills for organizing an array and for raising of an internal loan to meet military expenses were submitted. MANAGUA,, Nicaragua. March 1. Costo Rican forces numbering 2,500 men have been sent to the Panama frontier by the government, the acts of which in connection with the controversy with Panama, have been approved by the chamber of. deputies, it is said, in dispatches from San Jose. A mob in San Jose has torn down the coat of arms from the Panaman legation and has trampled it under foot as a reprisal for a similar act on the part of a crowd in Panama. j

V New ..York Central officials declared the fact that the New York Central tntte fdllnotleay' theT rafls'"prove"d that the clear signal had been given that train, and pointed out that It is mechanically Impossible to give both trains a clear signal. Crew Secreted. - Engineer W. E.

New York Central off! cials declared that the engine had been derailed and had jumped back on the rails when the front trucks struck the guard rails at the diamond crossing. All four of the most important witnesses in connection with the wreck are railroad men of long experience and this one is said to be the first wreck in their careers. Engineer Long has 31 years of railroad service and has been with the Michigan Central since 1890. Towerman Cook was acting as a substitute for the regular operator, Towerman Piering, but Cook had long experience with the levers. FATE OF EMERGENCY TARIFF IS PLACED IN HANDS OF WILSON WASHINGTON, March 1. Congressional action on the Fordney emergency tariff bill was completed by the senate Monday and the fate of the measure, designed to defeat the slump in farm commodity prices, now rests with President Wilson. The senate action, approving the re port of its conference committee, wa3 ! by a vote of 49 to 36. Eleven Demo-1 crats pulled away from their party i position and supported the bill, while j four Republicans voted against the measure. The house adopted the con-1 ference report Saturday by a vote of 205 to 127. j Supporters of the bill turned Mon-1 day night to watch for the next move ! at the white house. Senator Oscar! Ninderwood, of Alabama, minority j leader in the senate, recently said that: he had assurance that the president! would withhold his signature. Due to the termination of this congress within less than 10 days, the president either can veto the bill and send it back with his reasons for doing fo or he can destroy it by a pocket veto, which would give no opportunity for congress to attempt to override hig, wishes. Final votes on the measure, its opponents declared, showed slight possibility' of the necessary two-thirds majority being given either in the house or senate for overriding a veto. Democratic senators made a final assault on the bill when the rep6rt of the conference committee was taken up, and for five hours drove at what they described as the iniquities of the legislation; Although only two voices were raised in defense of the bill, and they for only a few minutes, the argument unloosed by the Democrats availed nothing.

"Pennsylvania, in her new health education program," Fhe said, "aims to use the school lunch to broaden the school curriculum Into - that broader curriculum which we call life.

Senate and house conferees still .were dead-locked over the $10,000,000 Item in the sundry civil appropriation bill to continue work on the Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals, Ala and as neither the senate, which inserted the item, or the bouse, which opposed it showed signs of yielding fears were expressed that the entire bill would be killed.
