Darmstadt, Feb, 19. Conferring with the Hessian Government, Herr Simons emphasised the failure of the London conference would not mean immediate enforcement of the penalties against Germany, which could only be enforced when Germany rejected the demands of the Repara- tions Commission, wherewith, according to the Peace Treaty, the decision lay. He therefore urged Germans to strongly support the Government's refusal.

The Paris Con- ference brought France and Britain' nearer each other on essential questions. His task thereanent was facilitated by his cordial friend- ship with Mr. Lloyd George enabling them to approach a most thorny problem without fear of fatal misunderstanding. France had no Imperialistic ambitions. The Paris agreement showed that France was eminently reasonable. He was a resolute advocate of Inter-Allied solidarity, politically and economically. "We shall see the end of the difficulties of peace as of war, but only if we walk hand in hand. The union of France and England is the keystone of that system."

FORMER GERMAN ISLANDS.

London, Feb. 19. A New York telegram says the State Department has received unofficially the Draft mandate for the former German Islands of the North Pacific granted to Japan by the Peace Conference. According to the "New York Times" the officials state that the United States. does not regard the mandate as applying to the island of Yap, which President Wilson holds was specifically excepted by an unwritten agreement among the members of the Supreme Council and reserved for disposal by the Communications Conference. It is understood that the opinions of the Allied representatives differ with regard to the status of Yap. It is believed that Britain supported the claims af Japan whose position is said to be that she would yield to the objec- tions of the United States with regard to Yap provided Britain allowed equal rights for Japanese nationals in former German South Pacific Islands now mandated to Australia and New Zealand.
