EARLIER TELEGRAMS.
MAKING GERMANY PAY.
Parla, 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 Allians are in perfect agreement,
Paris, March 6.
The Finance Minister M. Doumer was joined in London by the Premier, M. Brland, 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 considered į by the Allies last night were drawn up by the Finance Minister, Herr 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 80; per cent., issus 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 milliarda. 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 hercon.
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 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
garrison troops occupying Petrograd districts. The Soviet Organicbaum repulsed and shelled the attackers, whereupon the Revolutionary Committee sent four warships, which bombarded the Soviet fortifications.
MORE MURDERS IN IRELAND.
London, March 7.
Colonel Commandant H. R. Comming, Military Governor of Kerry, was killed in an ambush near Clonbannin, County Cork, wherein four of the military were killed and two wounded. Five hundred men formed the ambush, the biggest hitherto.
The Mayor of Limerick, Mr. Clancy, was shot dead in his house this morning. His wife was wounded. The ex-Mayor, Mr. O'Callaghan, was also shot dead in his house.

EARLIER SPECIAL TELEGRAMS.
It is estimated that January's outputs of the estates of members of the Rubber Growers' Association who agreed to restriction have fallen thirty per cent. It is understood the Government scheme for assisting the industry in Malaya was referred to the Colonial Office. The official decision is not yet delivered. Prospects of the scheme being of real service to the planters would seem, says the "Times," The Chinese merchants here will to be jeopardised by delay. It is reported that such drastic economies have been effected in Ceylon that many estutes can pay their way temporarily even at present prices. Consequently Ceylon companies are content to abide by the original 25 per rent, restriction plan.
