GERMAN NOTE MADE PUBLIC.
By Associated Press.
Berlin, April 26.—The note to the Washington government, em-
bodying the German reparation proposals, was made public here this
afternoon.
The text of the clause stating the amount Germany is ready to pay
reads as follows:
Germany declares herself ready to engage to pay for repara-
tions a total of 50,000,000,000 gold marks at their present value.
Germany is equally ready to pay this amount in annuities adapted to
her productive capacity up to a total of 200,000,000,000 marks gold.”
“Germany is disposed,” says the note, “to allow the radical pow-
ers to participate in Germany’s economic and financial amelioration.
Germany will co-operate with all her efforts in the reconstruction of
the devastated regions, so that she may acquit herself as quickly as
possible of the sums remaining unpaid.”
As evidence of her good faith, says the note, Germany, is pre-
pared immediately to place at the disposal of the reparations com-
mission 150,000,000 marks in gold, silver and foreign exchange, and
850,000,000 gold marks in treasury notes, redeemable within three
months in foreign exchange or foreign securities.

Paris, April 26.—What is termed
the vital effect of participation by
the United States in the repara-
tions settlement and the necessity
for occupation of the Ruhr region
of Germany is emphasized by the
evening newspapers.
The - Temps hopes the United
States will facilitate the allied task
by rejecting spontaneously any
German proposal that “manifestly
is inadequate.”
This newspaper asserts that Ger-
many has nothing to do with that
question. It is for the allies later
to determine to what extent they
wish to reduce the obligations, it
says.
The Intransigeant reminds the
World that “there is also a public
opinion in France that reiterates
'we must be paid.’ ”
La Liberte says Germany still
is gaining time.
Bon Soir asserts that the United
States has withdrawn from Euro-
pean affairs and adds:
“Today they re-enter, but it is
German’s request, and consequent-
ly to serve her.”
The communist newspaper Inter-
nationale speakd of the confer-
ence between Premiers Briand and
Lloyd-George as the "disaccord of
Lympne.”

The forecast of Germany’s reparations offer, as cabled from Ber-
lin yesterday and received last night in Associated Press dispatches,
showed the Germans as naming 200,000,000,000 gold marks as the
ultimate total of the indemnity they would agree to pay, as compared
with the 226,000,000,000 gold marks demanded by the allies.
The Germans suggest making the annunities flexible dependent
upon the recovery of German industries.
They also suggest an international loan, to be floated immedi-
ately, the sum not being fixed, for the purpose of placing ready cash
at the entente’s disposal.
, Willingness to pledge her customs revenues as guarantees is ex-
pressed by Germany, together with an offer to deliver manufactured
articles to the allies.
Germany offers immediate participation in the work of restoring
the devastated areas, she to supply labor and materials, which would
be credited against her indemnity.

Miners and Owners in Session at Lon-

By Associated Press.
London, April 26.— Proposals for the
establishment of a wage plan accept-
able to both sides, of the mining contro-.
Versy were considered at today’s meet-
ing of miners and mine owners. Prime
Minister Lloyd-George presided over
the meeting and was expected to give
the government’s view as to proposals
that the nation becomes in effect, a
party to the understanding between
the minors and their employers.
The plan submitted by the mine own-
ers at yesterday’s meeting contemplat-
ed only a temporary agreement, and
will be operative until July 31. After
that time a new wage agreement,
which would take into consideration,
the financial ability of the industry, in
addition to proposing that the country
be divided into five districts for the
gradual and uniform reduction of wa-
ges, the mine owners suggested the gov-
ernment should contribute in any area
a sufficient sum to meet the maxi-
mum wages paid. If payment of profits
to owners at the end of any month
would entail a reduction of wages, the
mine owners declared they would fore-
go a division of the surplus revenues
of their properties.

Laid Before The Cabinet at Regular
Meeting.
By Associated Press.
Washington, April 26.— Germany’s
counter proposals regarding reparations
were received today at the state de-
partment and are understood to have
been laid before the cabinet at its reg-
ular meeting.
Just before the • cabinet met an-
nouncement was made at the state de-
partment that the memorandum from
Berlin had been received during the
night "in fragments” and was then un-
der consideration by Secretary Hughes.

Berlin, April 26.—Germany, "in the
event the United States and the allies
so desire, is willing, according to the
extent of her ability and capacity to
assume the allied obligations to the
United States,’’ says a clause in her
counterproposals, it was definitely
learned here today..
With this exception the counter pro-
posals forwarded to Washington, in-
binding the offer of 200,000,000,000
gold marks, are virtually as forecast
in yesterday's Associated Press dis-
patches from this city.
Germany offers to pay 50,000,000,000
gold marks, the present value of which
converted into annuities, totals 200,-
000,000,000 gold marks. These payments
under the proposal, would be made ac-
cording to her ability to pay.
An arbitration proposal by Germany
for determining the total amount due
from her on reparations is contained in
the reparations note forwarded to
Washington. A clause in this note says:
"Germany suggests the appointment
of an unbiased commission to fix the
total sum of her war reparations,
which she pledges to accept as bind-
ing and to carry out in good faith."
Germany,, adds the note, would wel-
come any suggestion from American
government for further iegotiations or
changes in the present proposals.

posals,” says the German note, "Germ-

allied ministers were believed to be on
their Way to this city. Announcement of
German reparations proposals, which
are tiding transmitted to the allies
through Washington, was being await-
ed with interest.
Chief interest in these terms appeared
to Center around the guarantees offered
the entente. Advices from Paris indi-
cate this phase of the proposals will
be closely examined by Premier Briand
and the membets of his cabinet. The
French premier is quoted in dispatches
as saying the guarantees which he had
in mind aS being acceptable included
participation in the proceeds of German
industries, a share in Germany’s cus-
toms receipts, and the deposit of gold
by the Berlin administration.
Dr. Walter Simon, German foreign
minister, was expected to make public
today at least the outstanding points of
Germany’s proposals. He withheld in-
formation aS to details of the terms
yesterday because of an understanding
with E. L. Dresel, American commis-
sioner in Berlin, but it was author-
itatively asserted the sum Germany
would be willing ultimately to pay
would be approximately 200,000,000,000
gold marks, cr in the neighborhood of
$50,000,000,000. It was declared the Ger-
man government had suggested that
the amounts to be paid annually should
be conditioned upon the economic re-
covery of the country. In addition, the
floating of an international loan was
urged.
In addition to the proposals offered
by the German government, the su-
preme council will be called upon to
consider the answer of Berlin to a de-
mand from the allied reparations com-
mission for4he payment of 1,000,000,000
gold marks before Saturday. This sum
was asked as g result of the attitude
the Berlin cabinet has taken toward the
demand that the gold holdings of the
refchsbank be transferred from Berlin
to either Coblenz or Cologne, and in
View of Germany’s failure to fulfill the
provisions of Articles 235 of the Ver-
sailles treaty. This article called upon
Germany to pay to the allies the equiv-
alent of 20,000,000,000 gold marks before
May 1, 1921.
There ate indications that allied mil-
itary experts will be called into consul-
tation by the supreme council on Sat-
urday if the German reparation terms
prove unsatisfactory.

HARDING’S LETTER.
The following letter from President
Harding was read:
“Dear Mr. Noyes:
“I would be very grateful if on the
occasion of the annual luncheon of the
Associated Press you would express to
the gathering my great regret that pub-
lic engagements'make it impossible for
me to accept the invitation to be pres-
ent. The opportunity to meet so pleas-
antly a company of fellow newspaper
men such as will be gathered, presents
a real temptation to play truant and
join you; but it seems quite impossible.
“As a newspaper publisher, I am dis-
posed to arrogate to myself a bit of
special qualification to judge the serv-
ice that the journalistic press has ren-
dered to our country in the difficult
period Which we have passed and which
is not yet ended. I know how earnest-
ly and effectively the press tried to
hold up the hands of all who Were Car-
rying forward our nation’s activities
during the war. On the other hand,
my service in public life gave me some
special insight into the relations be-
tween the government and the instru-
mentalities of publicity. No more un-
qualified, intelligent and patriotic
service was rendered to the nation and
the great cause than that so freely
given by the newspapers. Looking back
upon it as one of the chief assets on
the side of the national morals I can-
not but bespeak a continuance of the
lofty motives that inspired it, and of
the generous. Considerate, helpful at-
titude.
"The world and our nation have yet
manifold Onerous problems to solve
and burdens to bear. I know that
among those entrusted with national
administration there is the ardent wish
to serve with whatever of ability we
inay possess, and without any reserva-
tions in behalf of partisanship or per-
sonal interest. Nothing would give me
more assurance at this time than to
know that the new administration
would be able to deserve and retain
the lavish measure of good will and
confidence that has been accorded to it
thus far. Mutual tolerance and modera-
tion will, I am sure, be amply repaid in
accomplishment for the good of the
country we all love and wish to pros-
per.

New York, April 26.—A letter from
President Harding bespeaking a centin-
uance of the lofty motives that in-
spired American newspapers during the
war was read today at the annual
luncheon of the Associated Press at the
Waldorf-Astoria.
Regretting that he could not yield to
the temptation to play truant and at-
tend the luncheon cf fellow publishers,
he also expressed the hope that the ad-
ministration would be able to deserve
and retain the lavish measure of good
will and confidence accorded it thus
far.
Frank B. Noyes, president of the As-
seciated Press, in behalf of the gath-
ering pledged support and sympathy to
President Harding in the great tasks
he is confronting and gave the only
toast offered on the occasion:
"The president of the United States.”
The guest of honor at the luncheon,
which was held in connection with the
annual meeting, was John W. Davis,
formerly ambassador to Great Britain,
who made his first appearance before
the members as general counsel for the
Associated Presa.
Remarking that editorial comment
was secondary tc the news column in
influence upon public Opinion, he con-
gratulated the Associated Press "be-
cause by the general verdict of man-
kind it has performed its duty Without
bias, without prejudice and without
partisanship, nd in an earnest pursuit
of the truth where it might be found.”
In connection with remarks on for-
eign policy he suggested that the con-
stitutional requirements of a two-
thirds vote in the senate to ratify a
treaty be abrogated in favor of a ma-
jority vote and that diplomatic and con-
sular agents be compensated adequate-
ly.
In beginning his remarks, Mr. Noyes
sounded an optimistic note, saying:
“It is in a troubled world that we
meet today, but least of all is it a time
for us to indulge in pessimism.
“The rising sun as it reaches in its
turn each vexed and burdened country
on this Vexed and burdened globe is
still a rising sun, and we hope and be-
lieve that each Sunrise will find the
world a little more tranquil, a little
more at rest.
“It would be hard to assemble a gath-
ering more diverse in its political or
economic beliefs than in our meeting
today.

Fort Worth, April 26.—Floods were
reported today in East Texas, suspend-
ing railway traffic and damaging
farms, truck and fruit lands. Texas &
Pacific locomotives were caught in the
round-house at Marshall and were
dragged out with cables.
A locomotive overturned at Jeffer-
son and another is marooned at Mine-
ola.
So serious became the flood situation
that the Texas and Pacific has placed an
embargo for thirty-six hours on all
east-bound freight. All passenger
trains were annulled. It was said at
the railroad offices here that water was
five feet deep in some of the shops in

Today the second annual three-day
trade excursion of the Young Men’s
Progressive league is under way, with
the schedule as outlined, including a
visit to a number of Galveston county
towns and culminating with a supper
and general get together at Texas City
tonight.
Partcipating in the event of today
are more than forty automobiles, car-
rying a large number of representa-
tives of Galveston business establish-
ments and civic organizations.
Leaving Galveston only a few min-
utes after the scheduled starting time
the trade evangels journeyed to La-
marque, where the first stop was made.
Here there was a big gathering of resi-
dents of the community and the official
welcome of Lamarque was extended by
Paul H. Naschke. He expressed the ap-
preciation of the Lamarque community
for the co-operation and assistance
given the affairs of the mainland towns
by the Young Men’s Progressive league.
AT DICKINSON.
The excursion party arrived at Dick-
inson on time. Here they found an-
other large and cordial gathering of
citizens to bid them welcome. J. M.
Park delivered the address of welcome
in his customary pleasing style, as-
suring the visitors that the citizens of
Dickinson appreciated the efforts of
the Galveston organization in premot- i
ing better understanding and co-opera- j
welcome supplemented by a big bar-
becue dinner. This dinner was a suc-
cess in every way and there was no
lack of evidence that it was more than
appreciated by trade trippers. It was
the first meal of the three days of
traveling and food was in keen de-
mand.
From Friendswood, the run was made
to Webster, where the party arrived at
2 o’clock this afternoon, finding the
same cordial reception that had char-
acterized their arrival at the other
towns on the day’s itinerary. The.

of war-time control of dyestuff im-
ports pending enactment of a perma.
nent tariff law was proposed by Sena-
tor Knox, Republican of Pennsylvania,
today to the senate finance committee.
Protection against an impending
flood of German dyes would “absolute-
ly be necessary to save the American
dye industry in event the peace reso-
lution passes,’’ Senator Knox told the
committee. He explained that his peace
resolution automatically terminated all
war-time restrictions.
