Guarantees of a material sort would Rot have been expected at the time of the London conference early in March, but the situation is regarded by the French Government as having been greatly changed In Germany, Information gathered here this morn- ing indicated that Germany's Iatest offer to assist in the reconstruction of devastated areas jn France and Bel- sium is not likely to exert any in- fluence on the deliberations of the French and British Premiers, It was Pointed out that Germany made a similar suggestion at the London con- ference early in March, and that it ‘Was not seriously considered. On that eecasion France replied she had al- Feady spent upwards of £1,000,000,000 ‘on reconstruction and looked for Ger- many to remunerate her. It appears t!at the present German Government is in a weak position, in- formation to this effect being received from Allied commissiona in Berlin. A certain amount of indulgence has been felt toward the German Cabinet be- cause of the knowledge that it did not possess the united support of the country, which is divided among the Imperiatists, the two Socialist Parties, the Centriste and the Liberals, with the Pan-German sects and the Stinnes group exerting powerful influence, There is slight probability, according to official advices reaching the Allied Governments, that these German political groups will be able to agree upon a reparation policy. French Government authorities are understood to raise the question whether undertakings entered upon by the present German Cabinet would be likely to be carried out by one sub- scquently established. eld Marshal Wilson and Marsh! Foch, heads respectively of the Riit- ish and French armies, will not take part in the conversations betweon the two Premiers. This is because the Wilitary measures decided upon may be solved easier than any other ques- tions involved. The French military ition is clearly defined. but ‘hat ernment earnestly desires the @ominal participation of Great Brit- ain and Belgium. BANKERS FAVORED U.S. AS MEDIATOR IN GERMAN DISPUTE (Continued From First Page.) Ministration also is in line with the attitude assumed by the American Commissioners who advised President Wilson at the Peace Conference. A study was made informally of the reparation question, but the United States alone declined to render an of- ficial opinion. It was felt that Amcr- tea's views would be presented at the Reparations Commission table, Rut that commission was unable to func- on as @ complete instrumentality largely beceuse the United Stares re- fused to ratify the Versailles Treaty and League of Nations which ex- Pressly provided for American tsom- bership. Technically, the Allies i nored the treaty when they endeav- ored through the Supreme Council, on which America wasenot represcnted, to fix the amount of the indemnity U. 8 TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT REPARATIONS, © Official Washington doesn't doubt that the United States will have promething to say about the repara-+ ‘tion question, but informally and in unison with the Allies, America’s views will be expressed at the next inter-allied conference and there every reason to believe that Wash- ington will urge a compromise, rang- sig ? herself alongside Great Britain it Is not exactly the amount of the <indemnity but the method of pay- ment which has caused American opinion to drift away from the French view though it is insisted here that America in nowise wishes to permit Germany to escape her re- sSponsibility to restore the regions ‘devastated and pay a just indemnity. It all ranges cround the question of what fair and just and it also has important bearing on world feconomics for in the desire to pun jish Germany, some French extrem- pists have forgotten that the economic ipower of Germany might be so weak- ened as to prevent her from earning pthe money she owen the Allien Secretary Hughes's note was ; show that the Uni States wants the Germans and All to get together again and diacuss the twhole question once more. The feel ting here is that there Is a change in ‘the situation and that the Germans icalize they must not make such trifling counter proposals as they dui, but must shsw a readiness to pas what they really can. If the Ger- mans had shown any sincerity in the last conference the Allies would modified thelr original terms Some Mplomats say frankly belleve Germany was waiting for they the GRAND JURIES NOT SPOSED 10 RUSH DRY’ VIOLATIONS Kings County Panel Follows New York Lead in Failing to Indict “Hippers.” AGAINST HOME RAIDS.

It is understood that these eighteen were cases of men a, rested for carrying flasks of liquor for personal use. Also it was indicated that no indict- ments would be found in Brooklyn in cases in which private houses were raided for liquor. The County Judges are stil] in disagreement as to the pro- cedure for the issue of warrants cover- ing search and seizure in such cases. Sixty casos of alleged violation of| the Mullan-Gnge act will be pre-| sented to the Kings County Grand Jury by Assistant District Attorneys Hemstreet, Anderson and Snyder. So far as New York is concerned, Commissioner Enright has promised a “bone dry” community within two months, provided he can add 1,000 patrolmen to his staff. Police Commissioner Enright mated that of the 4,222 loons in operation a week ago 700 had been closed. The number of ar- rests since enforcement of the State dry law was begun Is nearly 1,800. Commissioner Hnright said to-day that he would ask tho District At- torney and the Judges of General Ses- | sions to give preference to the trial of liquor law violations and would ask for jail sentences for persistent law breakers. If he gots the 1.000 extra policemen he wants he said that he! could have them trained and at work in sixty-five days. “If necessary we shall station a| patrolman in every saloon where an arrest has been made and keep him there, though we can't afford to spare men for this work now. “Four hundred men are giving their full time to this liquor business, and most of the other men in the depart- ment are giving part of their time to it, L can see it was impossible for the Federal authorities to put the Volstend act across unaided. All the agents they have in the country wouldn't be able to take care of New York City alone, “At present we are busy putting a stop to the principal forms of trat- ficking in liquor, When we have made a little further progress in that line we will begin to give closer at- tention to the drug stores and others selling highly alcoholic liquids as medicines. While the Federal au- thorities construe their law as per- mitting some of these, the State courts have not passed on them yet. You cun look for some action in this matter in a week or two. “There have been no charges against any policeman, nor any rea- son to believe that any momber of the force has failed to do his duty. The number of arrests speak for the kind of work the police have done ‘The city is much dryer than it ap- pears.” William Geis, forty-five, bartender in ‘Thomas H.

FINDS FAVOR WITH PRESS OF PARI Says Harding and Hughes Refused to Fall Into Trap Set by Germans. PARIS, April 23 (Associated Press), ~The American reply to rmany’s request for mediation, which reached Paris too late for comment in yes- terday morning’s newspapers, 1s dealt with prominently by all the Paris journals this morning, the in- terest in it eclipsing even that In the Lympne Conference between Pre- micr Lloyd George and Briand. Harding and Secretary of State Hughes saw the German trap and were careful not to be caught ys the Echo De Paris, “If Germany makes sincere proposals they will find us ready to hear them.” In a signed article in L’Belair, Emile Bure, who formerly was Premier Bri- and's Chief of Cabinet and is now L'Eclair's Managing Director, says of the American note: “The note opens the way to a guar- antee of permanent peace, and gives ‘back to France the moral support “President Tn its editorial article on the Amert- can communication the Figaro says: “The United States invites us to find a speedy solution of the repara- tions problem, and the French Gov- ernment must express clearly and concisely what it wants.” The royalist newspaper Francaise, edited by Leon Bays: “President Harding evaded the pit- fall into which President Wilson fell. He refuses to be the umpire hetween the creditors and the debtors. Prsident Harding wishes to help us, but upon the condition that we know what We want.” The Communist organ, say TAction Daudet, Humanite, Marshal Foch and Premier Briand wanted to go to war, but America has spoiled their little party.

STREET TRAFFIC HALTS. Guards Refuse to Let Rush Hour Crowds From | Marooned Trains. ‘Traffic on the entire Bast Side Sub- way system was tied up at the peak of the rush hour this morning by the bursting of 36-inch high pressure water main at Lafayette Street and Shinbone Alley, A huge geyser of water was forced thirty feet into the air, and, falling in a deluge, formed two torrents that emptied into the subway entrances at Bleecker Street. Almost before Station Agent Ab vott could send in an alarm water had covered the tracks. It was eight inches deep and pouring north and south through the tube at an alarming rate before the current was shut off a few minutes before 9 o'clock. Tens of thousands on their way to work were held up as lights went out and trains came to a stop all along the Lexington Avenue line. The tie-up of the whole system was complete for about half an hour. At the end of tui time emergency crews had controlled the flood so trains were operated as far south as 14th Street, and from rooklyn as far uptown as Brooklyn Bridge. It was 9.55 before the flow of water from the broken main was was reported normal at 11.25. A south-bound express train, jammed to the doors, was stopped between Astor Place and 14th Street and the passengers marooned in pitch darkness for almost an hour. |Even the emergency storage battery lamps were not working. There was much excitement among women pas- sengers, but nothing approaching a panic. The guards refused to open the doors despite threats and entreaties. The air became stuffy and almost suffocating with no fans working and when several men lighted cigarettes there promised to be a free-for-all fight until the smokers quit, Finally n end door on one of the cars wos opened by a passenger and through this the hundreds of marooned men and women poured in a stream which jled over the tracks to Astor Place | Another southbound express was alied at Bleecker Street. Here planks were laid across the tracks and the passengers waded through ankle-deep water at the exits, only to get another drenching from the rain when they emerged. The subway flood extended as far south as Broome Street and north |aimost to Astor Place. Meanwhile Lafayette Street above was flooded and the heavy morning traffic on that thoroughfare was held up for a dozen blocks, causing jams that called out the reserves fro mthe Mercer Street police station. Rivers of water flowed as far west as Broad- and into Mulberry Street, flodo- ing many basements, but causnig no great damage, according to police re- ports. The bursting of the water main, the cause of which is not known, seattered bricks in all directions, but no one was reported seriously hurr. William W. Rush, Deputy Commis- sioner of Water Supply, said the broken pipe had a capacity of 15,- 000,000 gallons a day. ‘The flow of water was finally cut off by closing eight gates, the two ing at Ninth Street and Fourth nue and Franklin and | Lafayette reets.
