COUNCIL DELAYS LLOYD GEORGE 'TO FACE MUSIC Alsace-Lorraine Wants French Rule, Says Hun Peace Delegate ON TAX BILL Also Defers Action On Draft of Meat Ordinance. Must Satisfy Critics Wjthout Divulging Terms of Peace Treaty. Berne. April 13 (French Wireless Service) If a referendum was to be held to-day in Alsace and Lorraine an immense majority of the people would voto in favor of joining France, declares Edouard Bernstein, the old German Siclal Democrat leader and a metnbor of the German pcaco delegation, in an article in the Neues Wiener Journal of Vienna.

Alsace-Lorraine, he adds, could not be an autonomous State because it would then be the scene of endless political and economic intrigue. Herr Bernstein savs he would like to see Hepublican Germany depart from the policies of the abolished empire, adding: "Let us avoid unjust charges that would for many years paralyse our economic life, but let us make reparation as we promised for the damage we have done in the devastated countries. Let us refute unjust accusations made against us. but let us. above all things, make but few protestations.

Reparations Question Out of Way. important and embarrassing natter of reparations Is out of the is mucn confu-on in the French public mind over terms of settlement. This is dua Partly to a statement 'urlbuted to Clcmenceau that Ger-J' be required to pay to the Allies for damages "one by her troops and inflicted by her ships. there is some ror here, as the only amount named in the treaty provisions concerning reparations is an initial cash payment to bo exacted from Germany about Jl.000.000,000.

The full amount of reparations is unnamed, for the reason that it is to be. determined on the basis of annual German earnings the percentage of which to be Paid to the Allies annually will be fixed by an allied commission. But the main thing is that the reparations agreement is assured, which means that another great obstacle to satisfy peace has been removed. Efforts' are beinc mads to show that the failure to name the amount Germany must pay was due to the Purpose to save Clemenceau and Lloyd Georce. and particularly the latter, from the attacks of political enemies.

Both promised Lloyd George in his hard-foucht sreneral campaign, in Decemberthat Germany will be made to pay the amount the war had cost the Allies. That entire cost was estimated by the British at J120.000,-000.000 and by the French as high as S200.000.000.000. President Wilson and the American financial experts in Paris concluded that it was ridiculous to demand that Germany should nay any such sum. The experts of all nations asrrecd after careful investigation that Germany might be able to Day $20,000,000,000 to $30,000,000,000 if the payments were spread over ten or fifteen years.

April 15 (by A. It has fallen to the lot of David Lloyd George, as has befallen few of his predecessors in the Premier's office, to meet and grapple with highly charged political and personal crises. The Trime Minister left the Paris conference yesterday for a brief meeting with the members of the House of Commons.

He had a stormy passage of the channel in a destroyer, and will return to Paris Thursday with his "mission accomplished. How he will acquit himself is a subject which is agitating politicians as few topics of the past months have stirred them. The purpose of the Premier's visit is to explain the Gover-hment's policy and his personal part in the conference. He will confront a House of Commons which contains a sharply critical faction, and. indirectly, will reply to the critical section of the press, of which Lord Ncrthcliffe's Daily Mail lias been the leader.

The criticism directed against him is that he has been too lenient toward Germany and has relented from his election pledges to make Germany pay all the costs of the war and to punish the former Emperor. A number of London papers, notably the Morning Post and the Globe, accuse him of having been hypnotized to give away the interest of France and Great Brtain. but principally of France. The Premier's reply has awakened-such interest that the demand for seats in the House of Commons is great, since it became known that he would speak on these topics. Interest 'is heightened by the fact that the Council of Four has decreed that the terms of the peace treaty should not be published until after they have been presented to the Germans.

To Be Delicate Feat. It seems, therefore, that the Premier will have a most delicate diplomatic feat to perform in satisfving the curiosity of the whole country and parrying his critics without telling more than the compact with his Paris colleagues permits. Lloyd George scored a tactical point, or rather Andrew Bonar Law did in his behalf, vesterdav by the statement that the Premier 'will conclude the debate. His critics had expected him to make his explanations first, and that they would thereby be given ammunition with which to bombard him. Instead of this, the critics launch their arrows flrt.

and largely in the dark, and will thus give him the advantage, the Premier's friends say. of exposing their ignorance.

It is now hanging fire in the Board of Alderman. Mr. nrumlevfi stated that he con sidered an injustice was being done to the Chief Engineer, the Board of the definite sum which Germany must nay. the fact remains that through the method adopted which first ap-ncared unsatisfactory and now appeals to many who previously criticised it Germany will be obliged to nay a proportionate amount of her earnings to the Allies for a considerable number of years. If she makes an industrial spurt and big earnings, so much the better for the Allies, and particularly for France, which will get the bulk of the reparations payments.

If you cannot get blood out of a turnip you certainly can get cold hard cash out of Germany if the investigations of the Allied Ct.mmission show that. she is prosperous and can well afford to pay handsonrely out of her earnings. Khine Sector Demilitarized. France's- demands for creating an independent buffer State out of the German Rhine provinces so as to give France additional security against th- danger of German aggression are resolving themselves into an amicable arrangement on the lines proposed by President Wilson. There will be no buffer State the Ehine provinces will remain under German political administration but the whole Khine territory will be demilitarized, not merely the provinces lying between the Khine and the French border, but the area for fifty kilometers on the east side of the river.

Hero there will be no forts, no military depots, no soldiers, no sidings for troop trains nothing, in short, that woulo. enable Germany to mobilize an army quickly in this area for an attack on France. France wants additional 1 security and is fighting for it. The covert attacks on President Wilson in the French press show which way the wind blows. The President is understood to feel that with what has been done directly for France's benefit, together with the protection afforded by the League of Nations.

France need have no fears. That the President has reached a better frame of mind in regard to the situation is indicated by the fact that permission has been given to the liner Leviathan to start for America. The Leviathan was to be held here until the George Washington arrived so as to afford the President: a chance to leave France quickly should he reach the conclusion that it was useless to make a further effort to conclude peace along the lined of his fourteen points.

The Finn army was said to have been cleared energetically of unreliable elements (even officers), and vast amounts of food have been collected. The dispatches said it was a matter of common knowledge that four tanks recently arrived at Hangoe and that a military commission had been sent secretly to the North. A Stockholm newspaper was quoted as asserting that only the fear that America would not support the enterprise was likely' to restrain it.
