London, April 24th.-The
German
count-
er proposals
says
a despatch
to the
Cen-
tral News
from Berlin are
very
lengthy.
The first part
is in the
nature
of
a
pro-
test,
but in finality they
are
appreciably
near-ca
fuller realizatipn
of the
Allies
standpoint.
The
German cabinet today
unanimously
accepted
them.
The
party
i2aders
learned
the
text
late
this after-
noon,
and
the
note
was
presented
to Mr.
Ureszl,
the Unlted States

Itis
understood
that

the event of the occupation
of
the Rhur
region
of
Germany, says
a
reuter
des-
paten,
from Hythe,
no British troops
will
be employed,
but
there
will ne
some
cav-
alry and
tanks
to show
the solidarity of
the
Allies.

Lympne,
England
April
23nd.
Ex-
changes
which
have
been
going
on for
some
weeks
between
the
British
and
|
French
foreign
offices
relative
to what
ought
to be
done
to collect
reparations
from
Germany,
‘vere
continued
here
|
late today by Mr.
Lloyd George
and M.
Briand.
The
French
plan
is
broadlya
|
project
for the administration
and taxing
|
for the benefit of she
Allies, of the Rhur
|
coal
Basin and
some
parts
of
the West-
|
phalian
district
of Germany.
The
two.
|
premiers
were understood
to be in agree-
|
ment
as
to the general
plan to be follow-
ed, but it was said they wished
to havea
complete
mutual understanding
of
what
|
was
to
be
done early
in
May, if in the
|
interval
the
German-
Government
does
|
not
submit
acceptable
proposals.
A
|
fresh
German
proposal
is expected
to
|
be
submitted
to the
Allies
immediately
|
but
even
its
serious
discussion
would
|
seem
to be
conditional upon satisfactory
guarantees
of execution.
Information
gathered
here indicated
that Germany’s
|
latest joffer to
assist
in
the
reconstruc-
tion of devastated
areas
in
France
and
Belgium would
orobably
not
exert
any
influence
on
the
deliberations
of
the
British
and
French
Premiers.
It
was
pointed out
that
Germany made
asimi-
lar suggestion
at the Lm&n conference
early
in
March,
and
that
it
was
not
seriously
considered.
On
that
oc-
casion
France
replied
she
had
already
spent upwards
of
£1,000,000,000
on
re-
construction
and
looked for Germany
to
recompense
her.
It appears
that the
pre-
sent
German
Govt. is in' a weak position,
information
to this effect being
received
{ om
Allied
Commissioners
in
Berlin.
A
certain
amount
of
indulgence
had
been
felt
towards
the
Garman
‘©ahinet
because
of
the
knowledge
that
it
did
not
possess
the
united
support
of
the
country,
which
is
divided
among
the
imperialists,
the two
socialist
party,
the
centrists,
and
the
liberals, with the pan-
German
sects
and
the Stinnes
group.

Informal
