fl-AT REFUSALNOW
t SEEMS INEVITABLE
Urges Security Between France
^ And Germany Be Attained By
Agreement To Arbitrate Any
Future Conflicts.
(By Associated Press.)
Paris, May 2.—The proposals con¬
tained in the German note, delivered
at the foreign office this afternoon
in the German language, are' regard¬
ed in French official circles as for
Anglo-Saxon and neutral consump¬
tion only.
Terms of the note appears to pre
/Vi osterous to the French government.
( it is assumed there was no hope
on the part of the Berlin government
that they would be ajccepted. The
scheme amounts to the re-opening of
the whole question of reparations as
settled by the treaty of Versailles,
high officials stated.
It is regarded as doubtful if Pre¬
mier Poincare will consider it neces¬
sary to make a detailed reply, but if
a reply is made it will be pointed out
that the proposal is unacceptable be¬
cause of the amount of money offer¬
ed, and the conditions under which
it is offered.
Paris, May 2.—The new German
proposition for a reparations settle¬
ment are so far from acceptable to
France that a flat rejection of them
is regarded by persons close to Pre¬
mier Poincare as inevitable. This re¬
jection, it is stated, will probably be
followed by an extension of the oc
cupation on the right bank o.f the,
Rhine.
Berlin, May 2.—Germany, in her
reparations proposal submitted today
advances a proposition that security
as between France and Germany be
attained by an agreement to submit
any future conflicts to arbitration or
other reeoneiliatory processes.
With regard to the two proposed
loans of five billion marks each, the
note proposes that in case these
amounts cannot be raised fully by
issue of bonds at normal rates be¬
fore the dates fixed, an impartial in¬
terest commission shall decide wheth
er, when and how the amount not yet
accounted for is to be raised.
The same commission would decide
in July, whether, and how after July
1, 1928, the interest not provided for
in the first instances is subsequently
to be raised. As to the make up of
this commission, Germany proposes
either the syndicate which puts up
the first loan of twenty billion gold
marks or committee of international
business men be chosen according to
the suggestion of Secretary Hughes
—a committee on which Germany is
to he represented with rights equal
to these of other nations.
As the • third alternative the note
proposes a court of arbitration com¬
posed of a representative of the rep¬
aration commission and a representa¬
tive of the German government, to
gtether with a chairman from the
president of the United. States would
bd requested nominate in cases the
othej- two members failed to agree as
to tlie' nomination.
Urges Mutual Understanding
The note begins by emphasizing the
view thqt the questions upon which
depend the reconstruction of the de¬
vastated areas and, the restoration of
the sound economic life and peace of
Europe can only be solved by mutual
Understanding.
The occupation of tlie Ruhr, the
official declaration states, is diametri¬
cally opposed to such aspirations, and
it therefore provoked .the. passive re¬
sistance of the Ruhr population.
“The German government,’ 1 the
note continues, ‘‘shares the sober
minded desire of all people that the
daily increasing tension be relaxed j
, and ■T the wanton destruction of eco
• Vfes<^i.ic values cease.” the difficulty of
The note' stresses
arriving at a tangible basis for com
puling Germany.’s economic and finan
cial capacity in her present situation.,
and it declares every solution must
be sufficiently elastic to take this con¬
dition into consideration. It should

ment, that Germany, owing to iL the -

EXALTED KU KLUX
AND HOLY ROLLER
RIOT FOLLOWED
MOB ABOUT NEW JERSEY JAIL
SO LARGE TROOPS WERE
REQUESTED
(By Associated Press.)
Bound Rock, N. J., May 2.—The po¬
lice today sought the leaders of the
mob which caused one hundred “holy
rollers” to barricade themselves in
the Pillar of Fire church after a meet¬
ing, and in which many men and wom¬
en were injured. More than six hun¬
dred men rushed up the stairways
leading to the second floor where the
beleaguered hundred had barricaded
themselves.
The first floor was a wreck as the
result of the battle which began early
in the evening when an unidentified
speaker exalted the ku klux klan.
Three of the non-members were beat¬
en and numerous combatants on both
sides were less seriously hurt in the
melee in which stones, chairs and
sticks were hurled. The women church
members fought at the side of their
men until the police arrived and the
angry mob was driven outside.
Two members of the church were
arrested- and-arraigned and held to
the grand jury on charges of assault
and battery. The court .room was
crowded and a large mob followed
them to the jail.
When the mob became larger about
the jail the local police asked for
troops. Hearing that the jail wouk]
not withstand an assault, if one wa
made, the prisoners were spirite
away to Somerville, automobiles bt
ing used for this purpose.
SCREWS TIGHT ON
RUM RUNNERS OF
JERSEY COAST N
COAST GUARD BOATS WILl RE
CONCENTRATED ALONG NT 1W
JERSEY COAST
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, May 2.—While gov
ernment officials continued to puzzle
today over application of the Supreme
Court decision on ship liquor, Coast
Guard headquarters issued an order
concentrating- all available Coast
Guard boats in the north Atlantic
along the New Jersey coast. It was
said that henceforth the rum fleet
massed off Atlantic Highlands would
be under surveilance of two Coast
Guard cutters day and night.
Conclusion of the winter patrol
work makes available a dozen or more
boats for cutting off shore contacts
of the rum fleet. It is the declared
purpose of Coast Guard headquarters
to “put the screws down” on custom¬
ers of the rum ships, and the office of
Assistant Secretary Clifford, of the
Treasury, in charge of the Guard, is
convinced the fleet can be driven out
from lack of customers.
-- that - --'--;- consequently she needs for
and
eign loads, which, however, can only
be obtained when German credit is
restored.
The note contains recurring sug
gestions that American recommenda
tions in respect to the adjustment of
reparations be adopted.
Reference also is made to the Bry T
an agreements for the arbitration
international, conflicts. This ds in
connection with the so-called
ties demanded by France.
The outstanding bid for American
participation in the solution of the j
reparations issue is contained in the
proposition that the President of the'
United States name the third mem-'
ber of ^ the financial wiimivtui commission Wiiiinivqiyiu which "
-would decide the manner in which
the sums lacking to make up the full
amount of Germany’s offer after Hie'
first loan be raised.
