NEW REPARATIONS
E TO U. S.
TEUTONS OFFER TO PAY ABOUT

TERMS ARE REVISED
PAYMENTS TO BE DEFERRED AND
EXTENDED OVER LONGER
PERIOD.
By United Press
WASHINGTON, April 25 The!
United States will guard against be-
ing put in the position of guarantee
ing payment of reparations by Ger
many, if this -country takes a hand
in the mediation dispute, it was
learned here authoritatively today.
(BERLIN, April 25. The German
note was handed to the American mis
sion late Sunday after a day's delib
eration on the part of the members
of the cabinet -with the'result that the
text of the final document is believed
to have been considerably more lib
eral in its offer of reparations than
the original draft.
Foreign Minister von Simons re
quested the mission not to permit
publication of the note at this time.
The total amount which German-'
now offers to pay is said to be about
equal to what France demanded al
though the terms are revised some
what. Thus, Germany would pay a
larger total than she previously offer
ed to pay and would make her first
five payments later than the previous
ly proposed first five annuities.
Altogether the payments would ex
tend over a longer period than France
previously has been willing to allow.
But the extension of time and the col
lection of additional interest would
about make up the total of France's
bill.

In a manner acceptable to them. In
view of this situation and the fact
