The Germans have antll Monday to bring- their counter, msosais to the Paris finding on rep arations Into aoeord with the allies' .rlews. Whether, they will attempt to 4o li (till a matter or conjecture. The British version of Dr. Simons' reply to Mr. Lloyd George Indicated that they would. He was quoted as laying' that the Germans would exam ine the prime minister's speech, that thlr Intention had been mistaken and thst no occasion would arise for era eloyment of the measures outlined, by tit allies. ; The German text of Dr. Simons' meeoh. however, puts a different com plexion on the matter. According to this, tne uorman icreign secretary pretested against "sanctions (penal ties) without legal foundation." This. of course, Is based on the treaty of Versailles, which provides that penal ties oannot be enforced until after Hay 1, but Ignores the allies' conten tion that the Germans have failed to comply with the conditions of the treaty. Dr. Simons is In close consultation with the other members of the dele- cation and also With the Berlin cabi net, and while some of the Germans continued to insist that they could go ao further toward meeting- the stand point ef the allies, the belief prevailed that they "will make new proposals. which Mr. Lloyd George's speech was timed at Inducing them to do. The. British prime minister's presen tation of the allies' cause greatly pleased the French. Ha drew a paral lel between German action now, and at Frankfort In '71, when the treaty was Used en the' assumption that Franco vaj in the wrong, and Germany d iianded not only reparation, but pay' stent by France of the whole cost of toe war. "Until Germany accepts ths position that she Is responsible for ths - 1st war and Intarsnti ilex obligations as cording ly," said Mr. Lloyd George, "these conferences will be utile. He Insisted, however, that ths allies vers not going so far In ths matter f payments as the Germans .went In 1171. "We are not asking for ths costs ef (he war. The charges of the allies were so enormous It would bs impos sible to ask a single country to bear them. We simply have insisted thst Germany pay reparations with respect to tne charges cast upon the respective wastries by material damage and In juries inflicted upon the lives and limbs f their Inhabitants." to. Lloyd George gave figures of the uffsts of the allied countries, and tilted: "What la there comparable in toe German budget to this?" He said he believed that whan the Herman people realised the extent of lie devastation wrought, their attitude would change. . "An incredible amount of damage has keen done deliberately with the view of destroying the essential means of roauctlon of Francs snd Belgium," do clared Mr. Lloyd George, adding: I "Therefore, unless reparation is made f uermany, It means the victors will W ths price of defeat and the van- alahed reap the fruits of victory." nat Germany offered was not one fourth the Sum reniitreri to r.n.lr the Jamage," the prime minister said, "and Uiat on condition that thoss who need must find it out of their own pock- n high privileged terms." It was that Mr. Lloyd George said that If Germany Came with a nrnnnn I which Indicated a sincere desire to discharge IJ i obligations It would bs considered. Mr. Lloyd George compared the British and German taxation, and said J1 until Germany had Imposed at equal taxation ah. was not In I position to plead she was unable to et the demands of th.

WILSON'S PART IN DOUBT Mr. sst Mrs, Rardlsug Call At WbHe mmm vpvaiai A wemij aiMaiieaj Tbere Capital rxtr Was . Quiet Last Wight. Washington, March I. After sight eventful years In authority, ths Demo cratlo administration of Woodrow Wll son closed up Its books today and rest sa to await ths termination of Its ton urs at noon tomorrow. While the final balanee was being struck by th outgoing officials, War. ren u. Harding. Republican President elect, cam to Washington, gave his approval to tne simple Inaugural cere. many that will attend his Induction In- to office, completed formally his cab inet, ana finished his part of ths In. augural preliminaries by going ts. the White .House for a call of courtesy on nr. Wllaoa. For hla part, the retiring President provided perhaps the last of the long succession, of sensations scattered through his sight years in office by announcing that when he leaves the ni to nouse ne will take un the nrao lice oi law.. Meantime, In striking contrast to the nsuai holiday turmoil of Inauguration eve, ths streets of ths capital rafleoted only In a mild degres the complete re arrangement about to be made In the national government. Flae-s and hunt. lng were broken out In recognition of the impending event, and tonlarht the dome of the capltol building was Il luminated for th Brat time sines ths celebration of th armistice; but the small crowds which had cheered Mr. Harding In hla movements about ths city nad almost entirely deserted the streets oy early evening. klm pleat Ceremony of Years, In accordance with ths desire of the President-elect, tomorrow's Inaugural ceremonies will be far and away th simplest of recent years. Four troops of cavalry will escort ths Prssident and President-elect to th capltol, but no parade will be permitted and there will be little of tne panoply of former inaugurals at th taking of th oath on ths east portico. -i Just what part President Wllaon will wiay in ths day's program 'remained In aouoi tonignt. . Although his broken health makes It difficult for him to move about he has prevailed upon his family and medical advlssrs to permit him to follow out th custom of riding down Pennsylvania avenue with his succsssor. Hs also hopes to witness in entire ceremony, but . It seemed doubtful Joutght whether ht could 'do L'H'i1'.-..-la)4-.art'..r. Jjr. cary T.

In this stand he la said to have had the banking of Mrs. Wilson, but not of Jh President himself.' The re. suit was that the Inaugural 'official prepared several alternative plans for the occasion, and' will be prepared for wnatever part th retiring chief execu tive finds himsslf abl to play. Walte Bssm Call Last M Minutes The call of Mr. Harding at the Whits House took place late In th day, after the President-elect had conferred with Senator Knox and aeveral other lead ers of his party in and out of Congress. Mr. and Mrs. Harding war received by Mr. and Mrs. Wilson In ths green tooim and after tea had been served the four remained together for SO minutes, chatting largely of the house. hold affairs of ths executive mansion and little detail of the Inauguration. The special train which brought the President-elect and his wife from their home In Marlon, Ohio, reached Wash lngton at 1 p. m., and was met by i crowd of soverei hundred who cheered the next chief executive and first lady of ths land as thsy climbed Into the Whlto House automobile at the station exit reserved for Preeidente. They drove directly to the New Wlllard ho tel, where they occupied a suits of rooms during the afternoon and to night. A few knots of peopls cheered them down Pennsylvania avsnue. but In the main their progress attracted little attention. Just beiore hie call at the White House, Mr. Harding received the Wash ington correspondents, telling them he hsd made the appointment not because he had any news to give but because he wanted to begin his friendship with them while he still was nothing more then a member of their own profession. Hs assured them that they always would be welcome at the executive mansion, and declared that all he aaked in his relationship with them was an application of ths goldsn rule on both sides. Tonight the President-elect and Mrs. Harding were entertained at a private dinner given at their hotel by Carmi Thompson, of Cleveland, former treas urer of the t'nfted Rtates snd an offi cial of the Republican apeakera bu reau during the last campaign.

If there ever was a time when America had any thing to tsar from forslga competition, that time haa passed.

Changes of a very radical character have takea place. The United Statea has become a. great creditor nation. She has lent certain governments ot Europe more than $$.000,000. 808 and as a result of the enormous exceee of our export there Is aa addtlioaal com mercial Indebtedness of forsiga nation to our own of perhaps not lea than $4,000,000,004.
