CRISES IS AT HAND MTROUBLESOME REPARATION ISSUE 5eetl Cb: to The Jcmrnal nd the C'tuouo j Uail Xw I Copyright aris. May 1, The presence In Paris of la Jerman cabinet minister plus one of the port trusted financiers- In the Gffman reichsbank. who have come to negotiate with the a I Lie, on the subject of (Germany's war debt, would seem to indicate that a highly important crisis in 'the reparations Question is at hand. Fisance Minister. Hermes and Dr. Berg mann are playing for high stakes. The result of their mission will be either the restoration of , order- to German fi nances an accomplishment which would bejjof immense, value to the whole com mercial world or possibly the invasion of peij-manyby armed French troop3. 3ltTHOI IS CHANGED Hitherto the negotiations between Ger many and the allies have invariably pro ceeded by means of ultimatums and the German officials have not been able to prve the sincerity-of their pleas to the supreme council or the reparations com Kiitision. Will the same prove true .of Messrs. Hermes--and Bergmann or nil! they succeed in inaugurating a new era in j war finance? Minister- Hermes has already seen Louis Dubois, president of th4 reparations commission, and sev eral other' members of that' body. It seems practically certain that Hen" Hermes - brings with him a concrete plan, including several definite propo sals to satisfy the, demands made by -the; reparations committee in the famous note of March 1. It - is said that the German government is now resigned to accepting iln a camouflaged form allied control over German finances. - It is VlSo reported that the orlgilnal refusal totraise fiO, 000. 000,000 gold marks ($14, 28,OOO,O0O) by means of new taxes -has been' modified to such an extent that a compromise is possible. HBORT TERM LOAN ; )ne of the most Important proposals carried by Herr Jlermes, according to newspaper reports, is a plan 'for an international shtfrt term loan of more thlin. $1,000,0100,000 secured by a mort gage on the German tobacco and alcohol "duties, which would enable the Germans . to stabilise the mark for a number o years or until a aennite settlement oi th indemnity problem could be reached. Thls time the Germans, in negotiating wjth the allies. . have been much more taetful than usual. First came the visit of JHerr Bergmann to Paris early in May toSfeel oyt public opinion, then the Wil helmstrasse ' note of May 9 couched in general but conciliatory terms and now the visit .of Herr Hermes. His com panion. Dr. Bergmann, will remain in Paris for J. Pierpont Morgan's bankers' conference on May 23. MtS GfRMASr WILT. BE j BANKRUPT IN SIX MONTHS j By George Wltte (Special Cbl to TBe Journal and the Chicxga i Daily New j (Copyright. 192rT" Berlin, May 16. Another six months aiid Germany will go bankrupt. This Is the view of many Americans. Germans and others who know tie real business conditions in, Germany. 1 Business in this country is extremely poor at present and only the most hopeful are making con tracts with the manufacturers. The rea son for this is ihat the value of the German mark has gone up 20 per cent. When the marked dropped, to., 350. to the dollar some time . ago the manu facturers raised their prices almost to warld market figures. When the mark rose again to somewhere in the neigh borhood pf 200 to the dollar the price of German goods was so high that the consumers could not afford to buy them, especially in view of the fact that there are prohibitive tariffs on German made jrqoda in most of the former belligerent countries. In addition to all this Germany her self has exorbitant taxes on a! the moat desirable kinds of roods. Many in dividual Americans who tried to profit bji buying goods at cheap prices in Ger- G. A. R.

"Wars are not ail over." he said. "A good understanding among friends is a mighty good thing, but it does not amount to very much among enemies. Diplomats may write and talk, but if there is anger In the heart of a nation treaties will not always wipe it out." The commander affirmed that he is not an alarmist or ' a militarist, but advocated an army and navy of suf ficient size to instill sober thoughts in the mind of any nation looking for a "frisky little frolic with Uncle Sam and thinks it could get away with It." Dr. Pilcher said there are about 80,000 active members of the G. A. R. Civil war. many have been stopped at the border by customs officers who demand they either pay. 200 per cent due on -articles such as cameras, field glasses and Jewels or leave them behind. Germany, while not having a protective tariff as such, has a system of taxation which is very effective in preventing monopolized in dustrial products from leaving the coun try without having high taxes paid on them. and that the average age of each mem ber is about 80 years. About 100 Oregon members attended the dinner party, which was given by the Women's Relief corps, department Of Oregon. Commander Pilcher emphatically in favor bonus. He said that good for the boys wftert they went to France, and believed public opinion should declared himself of the soldier nothing was . too 3.6S 4.2TS . 10.938 . 5.272 . 3.071 . 0.574 915 714 . 2.609 . 5.751 . 1.24 . 2,83 873 . 2.151 . 7.94 H SR4 . 2.232 . . 3.382 . 1,081 . 11.268 . 2.817 .
