Total War Damage Bill Formally Presented by the Allias—-Knox Peace Resolution on Way to Passage— Naval Holiday Move Checked. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. It would be foolish to attempt to predict what will he happening In am! to Germany In connection with the reparations dispute by the time this reaches the reader. It all depends on developments during the week-end, 90 the most that can be done Is to tel] what has taken place up to the time

of writing.

Early In the week the Gorman government, really alarmed by the preparations of the allies to enforce penalties. .runsmltted to Washington a revised offer which It was hoped w-Hlld be submitted to the allied governments as a basis for further negotiations. In this Doctor Simons proposed Germany should engage to pay approximately $12,600,000,000 principal which with interest would total about $50.000,000,000. The allies have fixed the principal at WMJOO.OOO.OOO and the toIth Interest at $.'>6.0<lO,000,000. The suggested methods of carrying out the ■ngagement are too complicated for dlscmsion here, and Indeed the allies : found them so vague that fur her ex- ! plunatlon was demanded. What France, I i.t least, considered a “Joker" in the I offer appeared In the conditions ap- ! pended, reading: “Germany only considers these prois’snls :i“ capable of acceptance If the regime of sanctions stops Immediately; if the actual basis of German production is not further restricted and if Germany is admitted to world tnifiic and Is relieved from unproductive ex-

penses." -

This of course meant there should Ihj no further occupation of Germ*) territory and. presumably, that Germony should be left in possession of all of

Premier Brland was given fnll liberty of action bJ’ the French chamber of deputies after he had declared: “If on May 1 satisfactory proposals, with acceptable guarantees, are not made hy the German government the Ruhr will he occupied." Prime Minister Lloyd George alrnndy had assured the house of commons that If the German proposals were unsatisfactory Great Britain would support France In occupation of the Ruhr. Whether this occupation would be for the enforcement of the treaty of Versailles or the Paris January agreement was not made clear In either Paris or London. The French have been Insistlug that Germany's violation of the treaty would alone be sufficient to Justify the seizure of more territory. Nobody. outside of Germany, disputes this but many are of the opinion that thus to ct - further Germany's productive power would only make It more difficult to extract the reparations front her. That the Knox resolution formally ending .he state of war with Germany und Austria-Hungary will be adopted by the United States senate seems assured. though the debate may be extended. The foreign relations committee has made a favorable report on the resolution, only Senators Pittman of Nevada. Poraertlne of Oh to and Swanson of Virginia, all Democrats, voting In the negative. House I carters have given assurance that the house will follow the lead nf the senate. Rpj>resentath'e Fish of New York has Introduced a resolution for wl'hdrawal of American occupational force* from Germany Immediately on approval of the Knox resolution. It i« not at all certain that the Fish measure will meet with approval, the disposition being eatlrtr to leare the question of withdrawal to the administration.

The week closed with much brighter prospects for a settlement of the strike of British coal mim-ra. Sir Uoltert Home, acting for the government, hehl a scries of meetings with the miners' do 1 gates and made tiew offers which IneludMl the suggestion of a wage reduction of 3 shillings per shift. The miners are willing to accept a reduction of 2 shillings, ana It may be the government will arrange a subsidy to meet the difference. This would amount to $500,000 monthly while the Industry is being reorganized. It was thought gates would recommend that the members of the union scccpt the proposed plan. Meanwhile the miners ou ners have agreed to plans for the protection of the mines, and the railway men's union has modified its order ngainst handling coal so that It does not apply to fuel for domestic purposes, hospitals and public utilities.
