Germany's reparations offer to tho allies Is a deceptive effort to crente the impres sion that tho allied terms have been substantially met. As a matter of fact, Germany has camouflaged her offer In such a way that if It were accepted, the allies would probably receive less than one half of their demands. By a piece of suggestive propagan da, Germany has created the Impres sion that she hasoffored to pay the nllles 200,000,Jo1m00 gold marks, or $50,000,000,000. Germany has done nothing of tho kind.
