Washington, April 4. Paraphrases
of the informal exchanges between
the German and American govern
ments on reparations in which the
United States holds Germany "'mor
ally bound to make reparation so far
as may be possible," were made pub
lic today.
" Describing the German communi
cation as an unqeouivocal expression
of the recognition of that obligation,
tne American reply expresses the
hope that renewed negotiations which
Germany says it plans to initiate
"may lead to a prompt settlement,
which will satisfy the just claims of
the allies and permit Germany to
renew its productive activities.''
The German communication sug
gests that the only solution of the
reparations problem is in an interna
tional loan in favor of which the al
lied and associated powers would
waive the general mortgage on Ger
man assets created by the treaty r.f
Versailles. Germany says it "would
not be unwilling to assume the
obligation of the interest of the for
eign debts of the allied and associat
ed powers, within her capacity."
Ready to Meet Plans.
Germany says she stands readv to
meet any proposals which appears
feasible "for the solution of . the
economic and financial problems of
Europe."
I he American reply makes no re-
terence either to the proposed con
solidation of allied debts as." a Ger
man obligation or the suggestion
for the determination by unbiased
experts, of the ability of Germany
to pay.
Another consideration ' on repara
tions presented by Germany is re
habilitation of devasted regions. The
German government says it stands
ready to offer to France, good of
fices and resources. It asserts that
for the immediate rehabilitation it
has "repeatedly proffered labor,
technical advice and material assist
ance" but that these offers have not
been accepted.
Rehabitation Delayed.
Germany declares there exists in
France, only a limited degree of
concern for the rehabilitation of the
devasted regions, because advancs
indemnities have been given former
occupants who have settled in other
parts of France and the work of
clearing the war areas "has been un
dertaken by influential groups ot
promoters who are making no ef
fort to expediate their contracts."
The German communication is in
the form of a 'memorandum of Dr.
Walter Simons, minister for foreign
affairs, dated March 23. The Ameri
can reply is officially termed a
"statement" sent to Commissioner
Dreiscl for communication to Dr.
Simon.
Germans Still Hopeful.
Berlin, April 4. (By the Associa
ted Press.) The German note sent
by Dr. Simmons, foreign minister,
discussing reparations and suggesting
Germany is willing to assume her
debts to the Allies, and the reply of
Secretary of State Hughes, delivered
to the German foreign office March
31. by the American high commis
sioner, Lor in g Dresel, was published
tonight
While the American note is brief,
the German officials interpret it as
friendly and the mere fact that the
United States answered at all is look
ed on as a hopeful sign that the
American government may exert its
good offices concerning the repara
tions problem.
Dr. Simons is still in Switzerland
on vacation, consequently a further
communication to the United States
is not expected immediately.
Miami, Fla., April 4 At least one
ocenpant of the luxurious little love
nest of James A. Stillman and Mrs,
Florence Lawlor "Leeds" made no
effort to conceal the relationship of
the banker and the former chorus
girl. . . ; :
Almost daily, when the portly,,
partly bold and dignified master
millionaire visited the aristocratic
villa-cottage near the .Flamingo
hotel sturdy. 31 months old -little
"Jay Ward Leeds" rushed towards
him threw his arms abdut his neck
and cried: "Daddy, Daddy."
Incidents, such as these, together
with the whole story of "Mrs. Leeds "
recent pathetic flight, were told to
day by Mrs. Carolyn 'R. Fitch, who
for two months was maid and tutor
of baby "Jay Leeds," alleged son of
Stillman and "Flo" Lawlor.
Maid Kept Baby
Mrs. Fitch, it was with whom "Mrs.
Leeds" left her son when she began
her recent flight from the "love nest"
and the public revelations that have
linked her name pitilessly with the
great Stillman drama.
Mrs. Fitch is prepared to fly to the
support of Mrs. Stillman in her
counter suit to the divorce brought
by her banker husband. Mrs. Fitch
up until the present, has carefully
avoided publicity by concealing her
whereabouts.
"There was not a thing to arouse
my suspicions at the beginning, but
with the arrival of Mrs. Stillman I
was naturally curious," said Mrs.
Fitch. But I was unable to find out
any information. The Jap seemed to
know all that was sroinar on. In fact.
he 'was gathering some kind of evi
dence all the time, and I know that

Mrs. Leeds told me to dress Tav nfc-e

to catch herself and later referred to
Mr. Stillman as the godfather of
Jay. But when Mr. Stillman reached
the house the youngster approached
him and. throwing his arms about his
neck, called him 'daddy.' After that
the youngster always looked for the

Harding Hears Views
- From Labor Leaders
On Railway Problems
Washington, April 4. President
Harding, in continuing his inquiry
into the railroad situation, heard the
views of labor, which were presented
by A. B. Garrctson, formerMiead of
the Order of Railway Conductors,
and B. M. Jewell, president of the
railway department of the American
Federation of Labor.
Both men who came at the presi
dent's request, said they had dis
cussed the situation generally, but
had received no indication from the
president as to his attitude.
Mr. Jewell is understood to have
pressed his contentions expressed to
the president last week in a telegram,
that the wartime wage agreement had
not been automatically abrogated by
the return of the roads to private
control.
Mr. Garietson said he had also dis
cussed the wage question in connec
tion with a review of the transporta
tion question.
No indication was given at the
White House today as to whether
othe'r railroad leaders would be asked
here.

Exclusion League of Washington
The four points of the league's
policy arc
1-irst. . absolute exclusion tor ths
future of all Japanese immigration
not only male, but female, aud not
only laborers, skilled and unskilled
but "farmers" and men of small
trades . and professions, as recom
mended by Theodore Roosevelt.
Second Such exclusion to be en
forced by United States officials
under L-nited States laws and reg
ulations, as is done with immigra
tion, admitted or excluded- from all
other countries, and not, as at pres
ent, under an arrangement whereby
control and regulation is surren
dered to Japan.
Third Compliance on the part of
all departments of the federal gov
ernment with the constitution and
the abandonment of the threat or
attempt to take advantage of cer
tain phrasing of that document as
to treaties, which, it is claimed,
gives the treaty-making power au
thority to violate plain provisions of
the constitution n tne touowing
matters:
(a.) To nullify state rights and
state rights for control of lands and
other matters plainly within the
State's jurisditcion.
(b) To jrrant American citizen
ship to races of vellow color, which
are made ineligible for such citizen
ship,
Fourth For the Japanese legally

nia, lair treatment, protection in
property rights legally acquired and
the privilege of engaging in any

that they may not hereafter buy or

Louisiania planter who have been
held bv military authorities since
December on charges of draft de
sertion, were turned over to civil
authorities today on a writ of habeas
corpus issued by United States
Judge West.
Judge Wests decision is regarded
as ot hig importance, because it
lice broke down the door of a room
ing-house w here Smith lodged. Com
plaint was sent to the station that
Smith was trying to break into
rooms of other lodgers. He had
locked himself in his room when
officers arrived and on their demand
for admission fired two shots at
them through the door., When the
door was broken down Smith was
dead, shot through the head with his

- Washington, April 4 Wit-li
worthy sea legs, worthy enough for
a tosing, plunging destroyer, a
sun-browned countenance and a
sailor's cap tilted jauntily on hn head,
Secretary of Navy Denby returned to
Washington today from his first in
spection of the Atlantic fleet. 1
The secretary came all the way
from San Domingo to the navy-yard
dock at Washington aboard the de
stroyer Pruitt, a non7stop run of
1,600 miles at an averaee rate cf
25 knots an hour.
"It was some trip," said the sec
retary as he landed at the dock.
"You can't help admiring the" de
stroyer after such a trip as I hae
I had through some pretty stiff weath
er, too. sixteen hundred miles and
no stops and going an average rate
of 25 knots. I guess that won't be
beaten, for some time. I'm a pretty
good sailor, you can see, to stand
that kind of a trip on a destroyer." -
The navy secretary had nothing
but words of praise for the officers
and men of the fleet which he inspect
ed at Guantanamo and his trip has
left him firm in fhe conviction that
the United States should have a big
navy. .
"I still insist that we should go
ahead to carry out the 1916- building
program," he said. ,
"Have you made tift your mind
what should be done about the fleet
policy; whether it should be con
tinued in the Atlantic or Pacific-, or
be re-united into one fleet?" the secretary-
was asked.
"Haven't decided that yet," hi re
plied. "We'll get to that latcv."
