EOE, CPP ee EE ELIE ESA SEE tp } | ! ah ‘ a GERMANY IS GIVEN TEN DAYS TO DECIDE Teutons Must Accept or Reject Demands of Allies By May 12. London.— Germany must give by May 12 a categorical answer—yes or no—to the allied reparations demands, or suffer the infliction of military and naval penalties, according to the terms of an ultimatum drawn up by the al- led foreign ministers and submitted to the supreme council for its approval. The interval provided for in the ultimatum to Germany will not be for the purpose of negotiation, it was stated, but to give the German gov- ernment time to reflect, negotiations being considered at an end. M. Jusserand, the French ambassa- dor in Washington, has cabled here the outline of a conversation he has had with Secretary of State Hughes. The American government, the ambas- sador reported, desires to take no at- titude on the reparations question that would irritate the allied governments. Secretary Hughes said that the state department has no further communi- cation to make to Germany, the mes sage added. Secretury Hughee indicated a pref- erence that Germany should settle without the occupation of the Ruhr valley, as such occupation suggested a kind of war, M. Jusserand’s cable said. The conversation, the ambassador stated, was entirely informal and sympathetic. Great Britain will make a naval demonstration if Germany refuses to yield to the allies’ conditions in the reparations issue, it was stated. The demonstration, which will not take the form of a blockade, will probably oc- cur in the North Sea, it was added. 12 BILLION MARKS ADDED TO INDEMNITY Paris.—The reparations commission has decided to notify the German mis sion here that the 12,000,000,000 gold marks remaining due on the 20,000,- 000,000 gold marks which the peace treaty provides to be paid May 1 are to be added to the total of 132,000,- 000,000 marks fixed by the commis sion as the amount of war damages assessed against Germany, thus mak- ing the grand total 144,000,000,000 gold marks. The commission has notified Ger- many that the petroleum and mining interests owned by the German gov- ernment or German nationals in Rus- sia, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Tur- key and the territory ceded under the peace treaties must be included with the other public utility interests or concessions to be transferred to the reparations commission under article 260 of the treaty of Versailles, ITALY BACKS UNITED STATES in Entire Accord With American Posi- tion With Respect to Yap. Washington.—Italy is in entire ac- cord with the United States with re- spect to the island of Yap and other ex-German overseas possessions, it said in a note handed to Secretary Hughes by Ambassador Ricci. The communication was in reply to the note sent Italy by the secretary of state on April 5 at the same time that similar notes were dispatched to Great Britain, France and Japan. Declaring that Italy had seconded the Anglo-French proposal which con- fided the study of the Yap question to the judicial committee and the con- ference of ambassadors, the note said that Italy “now expects that the con- ference will pronounce itself with equanimity, in such a way as to elim- inate every possibility of disagreement and to conciliate all conflicting inter- ests.” Frult Rate Hearings Granted. Washington, D. C.—The interstate commerce commission, responding to requests, decided to hold conferences at Yakima, Wash., May 10, and Boise, Idaho, May 14, on fruit and vegetable rates. These conferences will be in addition to those previously announced for Los Angeles, San Francisco and Denver. Tariff Measure is Reported to Senate.
