EXPERTS FAIL 10 REACH AGREEMENT ON WAR FIGURES (Continued from First Page) they will ask Germany to pay. Each country has sliced down its original demands, Le Temps says, adding that the United States with about 1,000,000,000 marks gold still due for costs of the Rhineland oc- cupation has “given proof of large disinterestedness.” In a ball to be presented to Dr. Hjalmar 8chacht, the German ex- pert, Le Temps says, the experts will ask first for 37 annuities beginning at 1,700,000,000 marks (about $408,- 000,000) progressing to 2,400,000,- 000 marks (approximately $576,- 000,000) to be followed by 21 an- nuities of 1,700,000,000 marks. May Be Modified Slightly Except for minor modifications which may be made this afternoon, this, the paper says, will be the basis upon which the experts will draw up their communication for Dr. Schacht. 8uch good progress was made yes- terday at meetings of the allied ex- perts seeking to ascale down the claims of their countries to a point within reach of German compromise that it was believed today or tomor- Tow at the latest, a total of the allied claims could be announced. Once a complete agreement was reached on this point Dr. Hjalmar Bchacht and his German conferees could be called back to the Hotel George V for.a plenary session of the experts committee, and—if all went well—the end of the confer- ence itself might not be so far re- moved. Whatever the figure the experts have agreed upon, or are agreeing upon, they have veiled it with the closest secrecy. Neither size of an- nuities or their number, or the total, was subject to an estimate more ac- curate than a guess. It was said only a few details remained to be worked out and these probably would be completed today. CONGRESS MAY ACT ON WET STEAMERS (Continued from First Page) ates the liner, that it would be fair to assume that, while the ship would be dry on its present east-bound voy- age and wet only on the return trip, liquor would be served going both ways hereafter. Medical Liquor Rights ‘The ship, they said, can possess liquor legally within the American three-mile limit only as medicinal stock under a federal permit. Such liquor can be sold, they held, only to NIl prescriptions issued by physi- cians as in the United States, and must be accounted for with such prescriptions. That applies, it was declared, whether the liquor is 1s sued on the outgoing or homecom- ing voyage or in a foreign port. No liquor can be brought within the three mile limit by an American ship it was emhphasized, unless it is provided for by the medicinal per- mit, the prohibition bureau, explains, the Leviathan cannot legally possess liquor to serve on such trips. He stys his bureau will take action. The motive which actuated the new owners of the United States lines in their decision is regarded by many here as having been put into ‘words in an opinion on the incident expressed by Vice Chairman Plum- | mer of the shipping board. Under treaty arrangements, foreign ships are allowed to keep beverage liquor stocks under seal in American wa- ters, but this is denied to American ships by law and under the supreme court decision of 1923 which held that they were at liberty to serve liquor outside the three-mile limit. Plummer for Rum Sales “I do not beliewe,” Plummer de- clared, should be forced to operate under conditions that would make com- petition with foreign ships harder than it now is. In my opinion, they should be allowed to sell liquor, if they think it necessary, provided, of course, that this sale of liquor is legal.” Some prohibitionists profess to sec in the 1923 supreme court decision on which the new owners of the your choice.
