GERMAN OFFER TURNED DOWN BY FRENCH CABINET Reply To Reparations Proposals Short Terse Document To Germans TWO GROUNDS FOR REFUSAL ARE GIVEN Germany Made No Suggestion Of A Guaranty And Amount Offered Was Entirely Insuffi¬ cient. (By Associated Press.) Paris, May 3.—The. French reply to the German reparations offer is a short, terse document; the text going forward to Brussels this evening. It is an unequivocal refusal of Chancellor Cuno’s proposals. Though the nature of its contents have not been disclosed officially, it can be as¬ serted that the note in no way takes the form of a counter proposition. The note declares the German note impossible as a basis for negotia¬ tions. The note leaves no doubt re¬ garding France’s determination not to brook mediation, but to recover her due. Are Too Pliable Berlin, May 3.—Although the new German reparations proposals are criticised in some circles as too pli¬ able, opinion in government quarters hold that the offer affords a starting point for negotiations. In referring the proposals to the state presidents and premiers, Chan¬ cellor Cuno, it became known today, asserted that Germany is ready to “end the present period of destru¬ ction, but is also ready to hold out to the last gasp, which would mean death to any reparations.” “We are ready for this,” he con¬ tinued, “because we know that if our proposal is not accepted as a basis of negotiation, the other side is not aim¬ ing at reparations but at annexation or destruction. The world hitherto has looked on at this quarrel as a spectacle, without particular interest in itself. We once again put to it the question: ‘Does it want peace, or a continuanoe of a conflict \#hich may lead to unimaginable events?’ It is for the world to speak.” Herr Cuno pointed out that payment, of thirty billion gold marks woulij mean a yearly expenditure of 1,800,000,-i gold marks. - Arrest of Dr. von Boehlen Berlin, May 3.—The arrest of Dr. Krupp von Boehlen at a time when Germany’s reparations proposals were being forwarded “was no acci dent,” declares the Vossisehe Zeitung, which sees in the incident a French maneuver for propaganda purposes abroad. The French desire to “whip up pas sions now in Germany in announcing her position in the world,” the news¬ paper asserts. “This arrest and this trial are to serve for prapaganda, and the German defense is to be driven into the role of an attack. This hocus poc-us will vanish before the .pressure of facts.” The Tageblatt refers to the pro ceudre against Dr. von Boehlen as “a flimsily disguised maneuver” where¬ by the French are probably trying to show that “the iRuhr invasion is di¬ rected only against capitalists, not against laborers.” Directors Sentenced Essen, May 3.—Two directors of the Heinrichs Mine & Machine Works at Hatlingen have been sentenced by a French courtmartial to serve five years in prison and to pay fines amounting to 250,000,000 marks. The directors whose names are Jaeger and Zoellner, were charged among other things with having caused the sirens of their plant to sound when occupation troops and officials appeared on the property, thus rallying an assembly of work¬ ers which endangered the lives of the visiting authorities. Not a Political Move Dusseldorg, May 3—The assertions of German newspapers in this region that the arrest of Dr. Krupp von Boehlen was a political move by the French on the eve of the dispatch of the new German reparation note, is denied at French headquarters. The French say the arrest is absolutely without political significance. FORMER PATRIARCH OF ALL RUSSIA UNFROCKED (By Associated Press.)
