JLLMAN ACCUSES ' GERMANY REFUSES T PAY DEMANDS (Continued from First Page.) is ready to begin negotiations with the reparations commission regarding float- ing of a loan abroad.'’ The reparations commission met this morning to consider the German reply, which was transhitted from Berlin last night. The Germans’ failure to pay is deemed a violation of the treaty of Ver- sailles which the commission will re- port to the allie dgovernments. The allies will then determine whal meas- ures shall be taken. It is commented here man experts already have been heard by the comumission which listened to their arguments before tixing the valu- ation of the German deliveries credited as payments against the 20,000,000,- 000 marks. This valuation therefore was considered final, since the treaty gives the commission sole jurisdiction in the matter. The German reply does not answer directly the commission’s demand for a first payment of 1,000,000,000 marks today. . (This point however is covered on the face of things by Germany's con- tention of over-payment of the entire amount due by May 1.) There is nothing said in the note nevertheless to show that it would be impossible for Germany to pay this ; 1,000,000,000 marks which the repara- | tions commission knows that Germany ! has available in gold, as well as in for- eign securities, it is stated. that the Ger- A Stillman, Mrs, William G.

These messages show that hunger and dis- ease is general throughout the entire country of Ireland; persons of all creeds and political beliefs suffering. And just as the Irish people of varied creeds and political beliefs are suf- fering, so the fund being raised in this state in their behalf, will be used tor them all without regard to creed or politics. It is this non-political, non-sectar- ian phase of the relief campaign which has led such famous persons as Jane Addams, Herbert Hoover and Governor Russell of Mississippi to en- dorse it, and urge all to contribute to the fund being raised. Reports reaching headquarters here from different cities throughout the state show that the campaign is in full swing and quota of $300,000 will be raised. But ello, Joseph Cohen, S. L.

The Bishop Murray medal offered by Bridgeport for that city of the state raising the largest sum for the relief fund is already creating keen rivalry between the different cities. Reports of the standings of the cities will soon be issued from day to day. Y. M. C. A. MEMBERSHIP DRIVE. Association Plugging Right Along In Its Campaign for Members.
