as
the
most
amaz-
ing
he
had
ever

absurd
assumption

a year of peace.
He point-

Paris,
Oct. 30th.
-The
payments
Ger-
many
must
make
for the warships
sunk
at
Scana
Flow,
was
again
discussed
bv
the
Supreme
Council
today
and
it was
proposed
that floating drydocks
and
sim-
ilar property be exacted
from her
in pay-
ment
for the destroyed
warships.
There
is
some
questions
however
as
1o whether
this
property
does
not really
fall under
the control
of
the
Reparation
Commis-
sion.
Jonsequently
no decision
can
be
made
until the Conference
experts
make
a report
on this point.
The British
Govt.
apparently has accepted
in
prineciple the
responsibility for the
destruction
of the
fleet
a
3capa
Flow,
and
is
willing
to
guarar
.ee France
against
any
loss
from
this
cause,
or warships
that
might have
been
awarded
to her
While
Great
Bri-
tain arnd
the United
States
were
under-
stood
some
time
ago
to have
virtually
agreed
to sink
whatever
warships
they
might
~eceive
from Germany there
are in-
dications
now that
the British
view was
changed.
The Supreme
Council
has
as-
sured
France
that her share of the German
warships
will
not
be reduced
as
the
re-
sult of the destruction
of the Scapa Flow,
units
for
which
the
German
Govt. and
not
German
officers individually is
to
be
held responsibie.
