London, March 7.—(By the A. P.)— The negotiations over the German indem- pity were broken today; action comes t.morrow with the march of French. Tiritish and Belgian forces into Germanv and the occupation of a large section of her richest manufacturing country. Even now the allied troops are on the move. for a late Berlin dispatch says that ¥rench troops who will occupy Dussel- dorf have advanced to within six miles of tnat eit “pe allied ultimation was foreclosed apparently with reluctance by the Brit- jsh prime minister. The French did not appear 1o be regretful, while the Germans Jeft Lancaster House, where the confer- ences have been held, plainly depressed 1o take their train for home tomcrrow. Two long sittings of the conference threshed out the final break before Mar- shal Foch and Field Marshal Wilson wrote telegrams ordering the command- ers at the front to execute the orders al- ready given to them. Dr,.Simons, the foreign secretary, presented an alternate plan, whereby Germany agreed to pay .the annuities for the fi five years demanded in the Paris plan. and aiso the equivalent of the broposed tweive per cent. tax om exports, but tlung to the conditions for the retention of upper Silesia and world-wide freedom German-trade. Mr. Lioyd-George, delivering judgment for the allies, said they deeply deplored the necessity of the decision. while Dr. Simons clung to the last to the conten- tion that the Paris demands were impo wibie for Gerthany to fulfill. ¢ The allies regarded the German course as strategy for delay, and the latest plan as one whereby the whole treatv ‘woud have to be reconsidered and debated after five years, when Germany might hold a more favorabls pesition.

GERMANY IS TO APPEAL TO LEAGUE OF NATIONS Lendon, March 7.—(By The A. P.) Ger-| many will appeal to the league of nations against the action of the allies in im-; j osing penalties for non-fulfillment of her | reparationa obligations. i Simons in his reply to Mr. Lloyd : “Germany is not a member | of the league, but she has signed the pact ! of the ieague, and I ‘herefore announ the name of the Jermsn governmen @n appeal to the assembiy of the league! ©f nations against the sanctions with! which we are menaced.” SPEECH DECLiNING ZHE GERuL:3 PROPOSALS Londen, Mgrch Premier Liloyd George in his speech announcing that the German proposals were not acceptable said “We all deeply deplere, having to come to this decision in the interest of peace of the world, and, despite the fact that our action is liable to a good deal »f misapprehension in our own countries, we have made an effort to secure a bettet | understanding, and it is net for lack of | effort and discussion that I have now te announce on behalf of the ailfes this fail- ure to come to anything like an approxie mate understanding with Germany."” Explaining why the latest proposals of Dr. Simons were inadequate; Mr. Lloyd George said it was essential in the in- terest of the peace of the world that there should be a definite _settlement of putstanding questions between the allies and_Germany. “That is an appeal to common sense” bhe continued. “It is perfectly true that the experts, failing to co »- to an agree- ment, made some suggesions about trye ing to agree for five years, but that was ot a plan which was adopetd by an¥ con- ference of statesmen. We wanted each of us to know where we stood.” The prime minister pointed out that Dr. Simens’' acceptance of the Paris pro- posals for five years was apparent, not Yeal It was subject to conditions which might make it uncertain, which might terminate it in a few weeks. It was sub- gect 0 the plebiscite in Upper Silesia. 1t Lic Blebiacite were adverse to Germany we would be justified in saying: “Ger- meny is deprived of territory upon which phe depended to pay those annuities, and Rberefore the agreemeént made at London # at an end.” Mr. Lioyd George German proposals are perfectly vague. #rere is nothing the allies, especially these who want to raise money for re- paring their ravaged country, would raise one paper franc upon, let alone a old mark. The proposai that Germany should pay annunities for five years not continued: “The out of reven® Sut by means of a loan is | disquieting. She is thereby mortgaging her income for the years that come after In order to pay the annunities of the first Bve. There are certain,significant sen- tences used by Dr. Simons which ahow dbat Germany has not vet faced her wroblem.” The prime minister spoke about the enormous sacrifices it would be necessary for Germany to make in order to pay the snnuities of the first five years, and added: “If Upper Silesia is torn entirely from Rhe side of Germany, the latter will have 3 vovulation Which will be ten millions the | in excess of Great Brita'n, including Ire- land. This year we have a millic ~ un- employed \as a direct resfit of thé war, but we have to find for yaying our debt charges and pensions and digability al- lowances five hundred million sterling. if Germany carries out this year the Paris proposals she will have to find ome hun- dred and twenty million sterling—one- fourth the sum Great Britain alone has to find. [~ “France, in addition to war charges and pension list, hes to find twelve bil- lion framca for repairing her devastated ares. Germany therefore will' have 10 find ‘this_year one-ninth of what France has to find, and we are told that the effort Germany puts forth is a colossal sacrifice. 1t shows thAt Germany has not vet realized the esseniialfacts of the situation. The allies eoul] not enter into any di cussion upon the basis that Germany was not responsible for the war, he declared. The responsibility ; of Germany for the war was with them, fundamentally. The Paris proposals, tne premier said, repre- sented a considerable. abatement of the full claims of the allies, but that abate- ment was made in order to secure a set- “We are willing to discuss with Ge many the length of the period of annu tles.” he continued. “We are willing to discuss with Germany any other method besides the 12 per cent. tax for adjusting the annuity to Cerman prosperity. Dr. gotiate. He is returning to report tp public opinion, which is not ready to pay this debt.” STATEMENT BY PREMIER BRIAND OF FRANCE London, March 7 (By the A. P).—M. Briand, the French premier, considers that The action of the allies will be of real aseistance to German public opinion in arriving at an appreciation of what must be done, and that the Tesult will be acceptance of the allied terms. “Wo missed America” said M. Briand this evening. “If America had been alongside of Great Brit§: and France we-would have had very Litle trouble. If America were to take the some position now for right and justice that she took during the war we Would be able o ar- range the fufure easily.” . The French delegates had a moment's anxiety over whether the British govern- ment would join France in using troops to occupy Rhenish towns. Allied unity was near the breaking point at the Wed- nesday's conference while the ultimatum was being prepared. : Premier Lloyd George is déscribed having explained lengthily the Gernfhn difficulties and the desirability of reach- ing an agreement by negotiations, with- out holding oo closely To the decision to apply penalties. “Tien I see only one thing to do,” re- marked M. Briand quletly. “What's that?” inquired Mr. George. “For the French delegation to take the next train for Paris.” replied M. Briand. “The Belgian delegation will leave for home tonight,” added M. Jasper, the for- eign minister. “Don't be teo hasty” sald Mr. Lloyd George with one of his winning smiles. “I was only discussing hypotheses. I, clarifies the judgment to examine all sides of-a question.” The two premiers arrived at the con- clusion that what the German govern- ment people required was an order, and an order that would be obeyed; ~that otherwise Germany would wear out the allies by continually shiffing the bases of negotiation. The troops sent into. the Rhine ports will be the minimum necessary to main- tain order. Germany will be notified that the troops will be withdrawn immediate- 1y the allied conditions are accepted. 1f Germany maintains an attitude of passive resistance, the allied governments will examine further means of coerelon. The new customs levy on the Rhine will be established by the inter-allied Rhine commission, of which Major Gen- eral Henry T. Allen is_the - American member. A plan has been worked aut in all details and will begin to operate Thursday. Lioyd GERMANS CLAIM PROPOSALS HAVE BEEN MISUNDEESTOOD London, March 7.—Dr. Simons, in his reply to Mr. Lloyd George, regretied that the German proposals had been miscon- strued, “For us, just as for you,” he said, “the disadvantage of a_provisional settlement iis beyond doubt. But we have taken re- fuge to such a provisional settlerent un- der the pressure of your ultimatum, which forced us to come forward with definite proposals. We should have preferred te iput before you a plan of total arrange- iment, a plan Iike which we originally| {started with.” The German foreign secretary explain- jed that he had no second proposal in his i pocket and had thereffre to try to find inew way, both in the delegdtion and in | the Berlin cabinet. Iie,had been charged tto ask for a brief delay in order that he fmight gat m teush with the Berlin cabi- inet, hut, he added, “we were refused ieven this short delay. i “It aiready appears” he continued, { “that there js no foundstion for the fear {{hat we should want to make use of the | provisional settlement te reach a revision iof the whole treaty after the lapse of | jthose five years. “On_the contrary, the German nation hag undertaken its obligation of making reparation, ana it is ready to fulfil the whole of this obligation to the limits of possibility. We are therefore ready to enter into the suggestion of the president of this conference to furnish the allies with part of the means which would be required for the purposes of reparation Dby layine aside mart of tha Dmrabased Dace tiement. - Simons is not really in a position- to ne- |- prices of German goods delivered inte, the allied countries for the reparation ac- count. “I have submitted and $ec6mmended this proposal to my governinent and can only say 1 regret that 7ihis proposal ishould have been discredited in" public; opinion of Germany by having been placed by you among the sanctions o be taken against Germany. We agree with the president of the' conference also in this, point that it would be advisabie as quickly as possible to get the fixed surhs determined and to have also determined the factors of the varied paymenis i case of her economic recovery, which Ser- many would have to make towar. rapara- tion. - ““We: further agree with your intention to set up an examination ‘systeia of the fixed and varied payments to tne -liffer- ent countries. These points in_ofr opin- ion should be deliberated on a2 committee of experts as soon as jossihle, and I can only state it is a pity that when these exper(s meet, fhe atmosphere will be embittered by the sanctions which are to be put into force against us. : “I feel obliged at this morwent when the sanctions are definitely rut into force against us, to enter v more with all due emphasis a against your ptocedure. Germany is not a member of the ague, but she ha; signed the pact of the league, and I»therefore announce in the name of the’German government an appeal to the assembly of the leagne of nations against the sanctions with whrich we are menaced.” Dr. Simons had reference to Article 17 cf the league pact, which provides that in the event of a dispute between a member of the league and a state which is not a member of the league, the arbitration pro- cedure of Article 1 applies. protes: DECISION RECEIVED WITH SAINUSFACTION IN FRANCE Paris, March 7—(By the A% P)— The decision of the London conference to impose the stated penaltes on Germanv was received with deep satisfaction in French ofiicial circles, where it always has been contended that sooner or later force would have to be resorted to in order to bring Germany tv a proper ap- preciation of her position 28 2 van- quishied foe. ° The belief was expressed by officials today that the allies will have a better chance for collectirg the indemnity from Germany with armies well withtn Ger- man territory than they would have through long drawp out negotiations. In official circles the action taken to- aay in Londop wa< regarded as a com- plete vindication of the Fremch point of view. It was stated that French of- {ficlals-aiways hail-asserted that-too much talk and toa litile. action would serve only to stiffen the.backs of the Germans and encourage them to resist their treatv obligations. It wss contended by offi- cials that a display of force was the only thing would convince Germany that the allies were determined to- coliect a fust indemnity. It was added that the French while regretting that drastic action was necessary, were glad that Great Britain at last had seen the futility of negotia- tions without force. GERMAN DELEGATES MIGHT HAVE ANOTHER PROPOSAL Paris, March 8.—The departure of the German delegates from London today is by no means certain, according to the Havas Agency. It was reported that the German delegates had perhaps not said their last word. g “There seems to be a belief,” the Lon- don correspondent of Havas adds in his despatch, “that new' instructions from Berlin could reach Dr. Simons, and it is even assured that the German experts have not severed all contact with alliea circles.” LieNg In a despatch fled in: London at 1 a. m., the correspondent says the German experts continue to study new proposals which will probably be presented to the allies this (Tuesday) morning. ITALIAN CABINET APPROVES ATTITUDE OF THE ALLIES London, March 8—The Rome corres- pondent of the London Times quoted the Epoca as saying the Italian cabinet met Monday and aporoved the attitude of the Ttalian delegates in London. It emphasiz- ed, however, that the active support of Italy could not be'-counted upon in the event of a movement against Germany, = - ETHEL BARRUMOYT BAS 4 SEPARATED F7 0M HUSBAND New York, March 7.—Counsel for Ethel Barrymore, famous American actress, to- day confirmed. reports that she had sep- arated from her husbani, Russell G. Colt In a formal amnouncement, William Neleon Cromwell, of ‘the law firm of Sullivan and Cromwell, declared that a separation agreement had been executed by the Colts who now were living apart in accordance with its terms. Miss Bar- rymore retains the sole custody of their three children, but provision is made for their father visiting them. Mr. Colt's companionship with the children, however, will be “subject to the arrangements and convenlences of their mother,” and their own health and studies, as determined by her. In confirming reports of the estrange- ment, the attorney said such action seem- ed wise in order to ‘“clear the atmos- Dhere” of rumors. g Miss Barrymore, the statement con- tinued, has practically recovered from the surgical operation upon her fingers and tonsils perfomed at Cincinnati and in New York. 5 PR VIVIAN: COMING WITH OFFICIAL MISSION FROM FRENCH GOV'T Paris, March 7.—(By the .A:P)~ Rene Viviani, former prime minister, is Eoing to the United States this month on an official mission from the French zov- ernment to the administration " ot Presi- dent Harding to extend the felicitations of the @overnment and reaffirm its friendshi toward the existing and previ- ous admiaistrations.

GENERAL WOOD TO STUDY - CONDITIONS IN PHILIPPINES “Washington, March 7.—Major General Leonard Wood has been detailed at the request of President Harding to go the Philippine Islands and make a study. of conditions there in the light of Philippine aspirations for independence. % The mission was formally intrusted to General Wood at a ‘conference today be- tween him and the president at which Secretary Weeks of .the war department also Was present. It was decided that such, a plan would be preferable to llr. Harding's original plan.to make Generai “Woppd -governer of the islands. & In making, {fia original offer "of _the Philippine governorship to General ,Wood; Mr. Harding is understood to have been moved primarilv, by a desire to obtain full “information ~about the details of Philippine_conditions. It is believed that General Wood could conduct the inquiry more effectively, by retaining his rank in the army than by leaving it to, accept a civil appointment as governor. Today's decision was /announced by Secretary Weeks who isfued this state- ment ‘at the White House after leaving the conference room., “The president is not unmindful of the change of policy recommended by his predecessor i dealing with the- Philip- pines. He is anxious to settle definitely ouf policy and has asked General Wood because of h's extended experience there, to go to the islands and report conditions as he may fing them.’ B 1t was sald that the time of General Wood's depa.ture and the lehgth of ‘his stay in the islands had nat been fixed. He now is fn command of the Sixth Corps area with headquariérs at Chicago and the expectation ‘i3, that he will begin. his investigation 2 soon as a transfer can be arranged. After ‘Secretary Weeks had issued the statement making known the president's decision and had left the room, General Wood remaired in conference with Mr. Harding' for nearly half an hour. The general sald the offer from the University of Pennsylvania to become its provost was “very tempting” but his action on the matter was “very much in the air.” He added that he was leaving for Philadel- phia tonight to confer with George Whar- ton Pepper, a trustee of the University of Pennsylvania. : WILLETT AND SEARS BRING SUIT FOR $15,000,000 DAMAGES Dedham, Mass., March 7.—Damages of $15,000,000 are sought in a suit filed in the superior court today in ‘behalf of George W.
