Allies May Try Hague Court.
London , Feb. 5. The allies now feel
the absolute necessity of forcing from
ycnczuula nt least some apparent con
cession. Ottlclally It Is pointed out
that the powers have now conceded
everything they are willing to grant ,
to far as the tlmo , the amount and
the methods of payment are con
cerned. The ministers of the three
Kovernments fool they cannot go be
fore their countrymen admitting that
they did not even secure separate con
sideration for their claims. Rather
-than do so Germany Is In favor of let
ting the whole question go to The
Hague court. Great Britain Is In
clined to support this detormtnatfcn ,
feeling that the outcome at The Hague
could not bo worse than the effect of a
complete backdown at this stage of
the proceedings.
