COLONEL BERLIN FAILS ON DAY FIXED Temporizing Note' Sent in Place of Billion Gold Marks Demand ed for March 23; Farther In vasion of Country Considered. By Edwin Hullinger Paris, March 23. (U. ,P.) The possibility of a - farther invasion of Germany arose today on receipt of another temporizing note from Ber-; lin. r;f It was believed the allied reparations commission would consider advancing allied . troops into other rich industrial sections of Germany. Confiscating of property was urged in some quarters, proponents of . the idea declaring the German government could reimburse its citizens who lost property in that man ner. ;,..;'; -- --. ,: The allies had set today, March 33, as the date by which Germany must pay one billion gold marks on the indemnity account. Instead of the payment they received a note suggesting a re-opening of the entire discussion. : ; ; The i.ote , stated that German I ex perts would be put to appraising in demnity payments already made. If the total does not reach the 20 billion marks to be paid by May 1 of this year under the peace treaty, the note said, an effort would be made to float a loan. : ? ; ; It was stated, however, that such ! a loan would have to be considered in connection with the entire indemnity problem and therefore a renewal of con ferences wan proposed. French officials especially resented the note. They declared it Ignored the de mand for the payment set for today and that it showed the! Germans still were- intent on negotiating a settlement on their own terms and in their own way. The resentment was so keen that the reparations commission was expected to be the center of a fight to '"put the screws on Germany. i; i NOT BE EXPENDED Salem. March '2Z.
