lurmc of Indemnity from Germany
ru concerned, there now appears to be
considerable donbt whether this under
.taaJlnB will bo as lasUnc as the out
jock Indicated at first .

cussed with the Germans, and there is
every possibility of another clash as a

UTb" San nemo meeting; according to
official source decided tentatively to
demand of Germany 3,000.000,000 marks
pold annually for thirty years, this to be
supplemented by annual ums propor
tionate to Germany's capacity to effect
her own restoration. The amounpt aug
gested was far below French estimates,
experts here contending that not less
thta 350.000,000,000 marks would begin
to compensate France. The French re
fuse to concede any wisdom In the plan
upported by Premiers Lloyd George
and Nltti.
Nevertheless the French are willlnc
to spread this U tll
jvviod of ttae-tobe deterged IUmj
to snread this latter sum over a long
rapidity of Germany s reconstruction
economically without reducing the
ultimate total of indemnity.
Premiers Lloyd George and Nltti re
main impressed by John Maynard
Keynes's book. The French press fears
tilt this will result in an unfruitful
political contest in which both France
and Belgium will be hard taxed to out
wit the British and Italian Premiers.
It is understood, however, that there
frill be no treaty "revisions." but that
'modifications" will be discussed of the
teparatlons clauses.
With reirard to the participation of
the German delegates the French atti
tude is that they will not discuss the
principle of any clause of the treaty
and will take up with the Germans only
the manner of applying the treaty's
tern.

Gevernment circles they will be more

feared they will represent that other
equally slippery, if more polite, school
of German diplomacy made familiar by
Oosnt von Bernstorff in Washington.
While the preliminary negotiations are;
ejtiletly going on between the French and
Britlsa subordinates, the history of the
Peace Conference has only too amply
demonstrated the Inability of subordi
nates to solve problems such as are In
volved in their present work. It Is Im
possible to obtain In any authoritative
quarter anything like a mere estimate of
what the British think indemnities
should be figured at.

There will be no political rest or satis

Warsaw, May 4. The Poles grad

Si'Jn the resistance of the' Bolshevik
Infantry and artillery. Reports received
here to-day Indicate that the Poles are
from thirty-five to- forty-five kilometers
from Kleff at several places.
It Is asserted that the defenders of
Kleff are demoralized, but that the front
line of the Reds is being forced to
fight as the rear guard, made up of
Chinese mercenaries, are shooting down
all thoso Reds who reatreat without
orders to do so.
Disorder and qpnfuslon prevail In
Kleff, according to reports received
here. Tho despatches, however, are
contradictor', somer ptatlng that the
Bolshert'il ore evacuating Klerff. while
others say that Gen. Mlexeckow. the
thtrty-flvj-year-oM commander of the
Twelfth Red Army, if making extensive
preparations to defend Kieff with all his
available forces.
The Bolshevik! are intrenching in the
hills on the west bank of the Dnieper
in a great semi-circle, with their backs
against Kleff. the Ukrainian capital, ac
cording to Information received last
night from the front. The fight ifor
possession of Kleff. Is rairinir day and
night along the line through the valleys
ana rivers.
Reorganization of the. Polish Cabinet
in tho near future Is predicted by the
newspapers, which give as the reason
the opposition aroused by the Govern
ment peace policy. The Socialists are
makiDe taUUnt'demanita for peace and
haVe they be recognized In
uovernment appointments.
Minister of
Finance Grabski's poller is also the sub
ject of criticism, It being charged that
he la issuing paper money too liberally.

von Tarnow, who was sent by Austria
as Ambassador to the United States in
191C. but who was not received by the

German Baron. Marked
By Reds, Is Found Dead
gERLIN, May 4. Baron von
Westcrholt-Ysenburg, -whose
castle was sacked early in April,
has been found dead in the neigh
borhood of his. estate. He had
been shot through the head, and
murder is suspected. The Baron
shortly was to give testimony at
Munster against the Reds, who it
is repo..cd placed a price of 20,
000 marks on his head. Lately
he had received many threaten
ing letters.
German Government was financially
backing and directing the work of hls
organization. "German soldiers in civil
ian dress came In from Breslau and
other German districts to break up cur
rrocesslons," .Kortanty declared. "In all
cases they were led by German olfl
cers." v
The Poles bitterly resent the employ
ment by the International commission
of German security police. Korfanty
said that If the demand for their re
moval was not granted there would
be a general strike by May 10, tying up
every mine and foundry.
Cor-jtKiUGKjf, May 4. A Reuter de
spatch from a German source In Op
peln, Silesia, under to-day's date, says
the Polish representatives on the pleb
iscite commission and Polish consular
officials there have left In consequence
of the excited attitude of the German
inhabitants. The despatch sdis: "They
only managed .to escapo from their ho
tel by a back way, under the protection
of French troops, owing to the threaten
ing attitude of tho crowd."
Paws, May 4. The Conference of
Ambassadors decided to postpone the
plebiscite in the Teschen district of
Silesia for two months. The balloting
to decide the nationality of the region
will take place July IS, Instead of .on
May 12, the date originally fixed.

Copenhagen, May 4. A despatch
from Kovno to the Berlingtko Tldtnde
quotes the newspaper Bevodnia as say
ing that Poland, in addition to her un
derstanding with Ukranla, has arrived
at a secret agreement with Finland.
M. Krasslne, the Russian Bolshevik
Minister of Trade and Commerce, In an
Interview on the Poland advance to-day,
said the Poles were well supplied with
French instructors and American gold,
but that the Soviet republics now had
more than two years' military experience
and again were in possession of petro
leum and coal. Therefore, he added. It
was not difficult to forecast the result of
the new war forced upon the Soviets.

BnujN, May 4. President Ebert,
who. before he became President of Ger
many, was a harnessmaker, has been
expelled from the Saddlers' Union of
Berlin by a vote of 1.S00 to E. The
ground taken by his opponents was that
he signed the death warrant of a man
named Kopp, who bad been convicted of
murder. The resolution calling for the
expulsion of Ebert said:
"This assembly no longer recognizes
the President of the Empire as a col
league. Inasmuch as he violated all
socialistic principles, which do not admit
of punishment by death."
