MAKING GERMANY PAY.
Paris, March 4.
The War Minister, M. Barthou, has arrived in Paris from London. He expressed complete satisfaction at the results of his visit to England, stating that the Allies are in perfect agraement.
Paris, March 0.
The Finance Minister M. Doumer was joined in London by the Premier, M. Briand, who to-day conferred with French experts after their meeting with the German experts. Later Marshal Foch had an interview with M. Briand.
London, March 7.
4 a.m. It is understood that the new German proposals consideredį by the Allies last night were drawn up by the Finance Minister, Herri Schroeder, and mainly comprise acceptance of the amount of the payments for the first five years laid down at Paris, subject to revision thereafter, increase of the 12 per cent. export tax to 30. per cent., issue of an international loan of eight milliard gold marks, and conclusion of commercial treaties virtually providing for the abolition of inequality clauses. The foregoing are conditional on Germany retaining Upper Silesia.
The Allies recognised that the offer is quite unacceptable, but on Mr. Lloyd George's initative agreed that the project include] payment of fixed annual sums of three milliard gold marks for thirty instead of forty-two-years, levying on importing countries of 30 per cent. on German exports, with a fixed guaranteed minimum estimated to produce between six and eight milliards. After five years, the Reparations Commission would be empowered to determine the amount to bring the total new project up to the Paris total, namely 226 milliards. The German delegation has hitherto not signified its views hereon,
Reuter learns that Lord d'Abernon and M. Loucheur interviewed Herr von Simons this morning, whereafter, it is stated, they com- municated the outlines of the new German proposals to the Supreme Council at Downing Street. It is stated in French quarters that these are not regarded as acceptable.
THE NEW RUSSIAN REVOLUTION.
London, March 7.
The situation in Russia remains hazy. No big revolutionary success is reliably signalled, but clearly the Soviet is most perturbed. It is doing its level best to pacify public feeling by distributing more food.
Reuter's correspondent at Riga communicates a Kronstadt Revolutionary Committee wireless to the effect that the crews of all i the Baltic Fleet vessels there have recognised the Anti-Bolshevik | Government. The crews requested all their officers to remain at their posts. It is also stated that the Kronstadt sailors attacked Soviet troops occupying Petrograd districts. The Soviet garrison at; Organicbaum repulsed and shelled the attackers, whereupon the Revolutionary Committee sent four warships, which bombarded the
Soviet fortifications.

The Allies agreed upon a plan including thirty yearly payments each of three billions of marks (gold) and a thirty per cent, tax on German exporte.
