I'render Meld Lloyd George Meares Important Statement --- Germans Are To Be Asked to Sign Before May 1—There Is Not Difference ofinion Negotiators. Op Among eK PARIS, April 7.—The preliminary peace treaty will be ready by Easter and the Germans will be asked to come and sign it at the end of April or the beginning of May, Premier Lloyd George declared in an inter- view with Stephane Lausanne:, editor of the Matin. In answer to a remark by- Lau- zanne that what troubled public opin- ion was not so much the delay, as the secrecy in which the peace nego- tiations were wrapped and the fear that there was some divergence of opinion, the British Premier said: "I affirm absolutely that there is no divergence among the negotia- tors, They are often confronted with technical difficulties which can only be settled after close study. Take the question of reparations. In substance the Allies have one common prin- ciple, which I once set forth thus: 'Germany must pay up to the Iast farthing of her power.' "But is it sufficient to draw up a bill and hand it to the enemy? Must we not require guarantees and must we not study the terms, methods and forms of delayed payments? Must we not be able to say to our adversary when he pleads inade- quacy of resources: `Yes, you can go as far as that and you must do it and you must do that?' In a word, shall we simply present a bill or col- lect the money, all the money pos- sible? Well, that is where the work comes in, slow and difficult work, complicated by the fact that tech- nical experts of the highest capabllie ties and great experienee are not in agreement among themselves either as to- the method or liquidation or as to the assets to be reenned. nelet, there is no divergence among the negotiators, but, alas, there are inevitable ones among the experts, often among those from the same country. Who. is ter deeide- between them if not the negotiators, and do you think it can always be done quickly?" M. Lauzanne remarked that what public opinion could not understand was why before everything, Germany was not handed a full bill no matter what amount and forced to admit full liability. "And who says we shall not do so?" cried Premier Lloyd George. "Who says we have not decided feet?" "No one," the interviewer inter- rupted, "has said that you have de- cided it." The British Premier resumed: "Cannot the people wait until we have finished our work instead of always wanting to judge our inten- tions. This Conference had to meet and discuss things under con- ditions unprecedented in history. All eyes are turned toward it, and what is more grave, all ears are glu- ed at its keyhole. Enemy ears trem- ble with joy when they detect some hesitation. Friendly ears half hear confused rumors which are peddled far and quickly. "The day does not pass but what some false news here and there takes its flight. Nevertheless, no day passes but that we in silent deliber- ation feel approaching nearer the great aim and experience for each other more esteem, confidence and affection_ Let public opinion wait a few days. It will then be able to pronounce on facts, not rumors." PRUSSIA'S WAR LOSSES. 4,330,000 Men Willed, Woumded arid Missing, BERLIN, April 7.—Prussia's huge losses in officers and men during the war are indicated by a staff officer, who writes in the Lokal Aanzeiger. He submits figures compiled from the official casualty lists to show that 32,- 554 active officers at the front were killed, wounded or missing out of a total of 34,350, and that more than 4,330,000 soldiers were killed, wounded or missing out of 10,178,- 000 who actually fought at the front. He points out that these figures belie the stories sometimes heard that the .Prussian officers did not at- tack with their men, and asserts that their losses were particularly heavy in the first two years, but were much less in the later years of the war because the officers had to be saved for general staff work. The figures show also how little Germany counted on a long war, for the.- Prussian mobilization contem- plated 3,000,000 to which approxi- mately 6,500,000 had to be added be- fore the end. Germany started the war with 19,826 active Prussian offi- cers and drew 14,524 more into the service. Wages In Hungary. BERLIN, April 7.— The Hungar- ian population willbe divided into three classes, according to the Buda- pest correspondent of the Kreuz Zei- tung. Intellectual workers will be assured a minimum income of $7,200 at the peace time rate of exchange. Merchants and trade and industrial workers will receive $5,000, and workmen and day laborers $3,300. The state plans to supplement the difference between what the various classes earn and the minimum de- cided upon. Military Adopt Daylight Saving.

Over eeas: 51inister Speaks Hotly of Canadine Disapproval. LONDON; Aril 7. —.fit a small Iunehean given here by Sir Edward Kemp to meet Gen. Currie, the Over- seas leffnister took the opportunity to voice his own sentiments upon criti- cisms from Canada,. Sir Edward said he bad ever since the armistice urged that Canadian soldiers should be re- Patriated as fast as possible, and his awn view was entirely contrary to that urged in some quarters in Can- ada that soldiers should not be de- mobilized too quickly or else they would find no work to do at home. He was absolutely satisfied that they had arrived at the best conclusions possible regarding demobilization, and was quite prepared to defend the form it took. He was equally sure the Canadian people would approve it directly they understood the situation. Before the end of this month half of all, the Canadian troops on this side would be back or on the water. "There is, however," be proceeded, "an odd man now and then who re- turns to Canada, misrepresents the situation and reflects upon the offi- cers here who are doing their very best. This sort of thing has a boom- erang effect and recoils eventually ppon the man who makes such state- ments. One of the favorite things to be uttered," continued Sir Edward, "is that there is an intrigue proceed- ing. God knows what an intrigue really it, but at any rate it is stated that there was a possibility of Gen. Currie being replaced in the com- mand of the Canadian troops. Such a thing was never heard of at any time since Gen. Currie took over the corps. I have never heard anyone mention it. More than that, it would be presumption on the part of any- body here to have thought of it." Sir Edward Kemp went on to say that it was his duty to defend men still wearing the uniform and who cannot defend themselves. Speaking of "silly nonsense occasionally corn- ing from a few ofliicere," he mention- ed that his predecessor in the Minis- try for Overseas told him that if he took twenty-five of all the officers over here he would have reached the limit of those prepared to criticize unduly." GERMANY MUST PAY. Debt to Be Wiped Off In Thirty Years. PARIS, April 7. The Council of Four on Saturday reached an agree- ment on the principles of the in- demnities and reparations to be paid by Germany, and examination of the details will begin immediately, the newspapers say. It is not be- lieved there will be any disagreement as to details, and it is indicated that the teat of the financial terms will be finished during the week. The Echo de Paris says that com- promises were effected on all debat- able points regarding the sum to be paid at once by Germany and the payments'in the future. Against the oposition of the French Govern- ment it was agreed, • the paper says, to distribute the future payments over a term of thirty years. The payments for the next few years were fixed. The Journal says there are indi- cations that the rights of France and Belgium to prior consideration in the payments by Germany have been recognized. The first German pay- ment, it says, will be 25,000,000,000 francs, of which fire billion will go to pay for raw materials to ensure the resumption of German economic life. France will get ten billion francs and Belgium five billion of the first payment. The rest of the in- demnity, the paper says, will run oyer a period of thirty years. Plans for continued occupation of the left bank of the Rhine have been abandoned, and the Allies will depend upon an economic blockade as the means of pressure on Ger- many. Final agreement on the Rhine and Saar Valley questions will be reached before the mid of the week, it is added. Increased optimism in diplomatic circles is noted by the press, while in editorials the newspapers ex- press satisfaction over the progress made on the question of reparation and indemnity. It is pointed out that each day of delay in reaching a final agreement adds to the losses of France. King AIbert Used Airplane. PARIS, April 7.—King Albert of Belgium returned to Brussels Satur- day by airplane. The King, it is stat- ed, carried away excellent impres- sions as to the result of his conversa- tions with the members of the var- ious peace delegations. The Belgian delegation has issued the following note: "During his stay in Paris, the King met the most em- inent members of the Allied and As- sociated Governments, with whom lie conferred regarding the essential interests of Belgium. The King was listened to everywhere with the greatest attention, and left Paris sat- isfied with the impressions made upon him." Bolshevists Jailed In South Africa. CAPE TOWN, April 7. — In the House of Assembly, Col. Cresswell, Labor leader, raised the question of the arrest of two men at Pieter- maritzburg Saturday under the Pub- lic Welfare Act. He asked whether they were charged With holding and uttering certain opinions. Acting Pre- mier Malan replied that the charge was circulating seditious and Bolshe- vist propaganda among the natives.

Earliest Advance Guard Is to Leave Great Britain immediately to Piglet Against Bolshevik Forces -- Evacuation of Odessa by .Allies- Is Imminent and Archangel Situa- tion Is Unchanged. LONDON, April 7.—Arrangements for the despatch of a British relief force to Northern Russia are being pushed forward. The earliest adiance guard leaves on April 9 for Mur- mansk. There it will be in a favor- able position to proceed at the first opportunity to Archangel. The main force proceeds in two sections, the first at the beginning of May and the second a fortnight later. It is in- tended that the main force shall con- sist mostly of volunteers. The War Office will probably make au imme- diate appeal for volunteers, not only to troops of the. armies of oe�cupation and men preparing to go to overseas garrisons, but to discharged and de- mobilized men - Important developments on the Murmansk front may be expected in a few. days owing to a threatened defection of Finnish troops, accord- ing to the Mail. It is said that it was to meet this danger that Amer- ican detachments were sent on two American cruisers, which will reach Murmansk early next week. Other allied reinforcemfents are being pre- pared. President Wilson is reported to have ordered the sailors of the two cruisers to land with the troops, if necessary. British relief forces have gone on board of two especially constructed ice -breaking transports, with which they expect to get through the fee two weeks earlier than they coned on any other type of vessel. An official statement dealing with the operations on the Murmansk and Archangel fronts says: "Gen. May- nard is taking energetic action to deal with the situation, which is caus- ing anxiety 120 miles south of Mur- mansk. Reinforcements of infantry and marines have been tepidly moved down the railway line, and it is hop- ed that they may succeed in nipping in the bud the mutinous tendency among the Finnish troops who form part, of Gen. Maynard's forces. The object of these latter is believed to be to effect a junction with the Bol- sheviki. "The Archangel situation is un- changed." The .Allied forces, principally Brit- ish and Russian, operating in the Sredn M3kll.renga sector delivered a crushing defeat Friday afternoon- to a large' Bolshevik attacking party, says an .Archangel despatch. The enemy charged the Allied. blockhouses, and the piles of Bolshe- viki dead lying near them next morn- ing indicated the severity of the enemy's losses. In addition the Allied troops cap- tured nearly 100 prisoners, including a Bolslieviki battalion commander and his adjutant. In the Bolshie Ozerki sector Amer- ican patrols continue to harass the enemy. The Allied guns are still heavily shelling the town. Bolsheviki pressure against Odes- sa ,the great Russian port on the Black Sea, is increasing, and the eva- cuation of the city by the Allied forces is imminent, the Matin says. The Allied forces, it adds, probably will be withdrawn ultimately to the Dniester in order to protect Bessara- bia and Roumania. The Isthmus of Perekop, which connects Europe with the Crimea, has been fortified by the Allies to protect the Russian naval base of Sebastopol. Faith, Hope and Charity Baptized. ST. CATHARINES, April 7.—The British „Methodist Episcopal Church had an unusual event Sunday after- noon, in a baptism service for trip- lets — two boys and one girl — chil- dren of A. C. Nicholson, Vine street. Faith, Hope and Charity are the names of the trio. All are experienc- ing teeth -cutting. The service had been announced, the church was fill- ed, and a collection was taken to pro- vide a special perambulator. Want to Get Off Water Wagon. QUEBEC, April 7.—The town of Fraserville is again on the road to the wet system. Some time ago it voted prohibition, but now the City Council is in receipt of a petition re- questing the repeal of the prohibi- tion bylaw. The citizens want to get off the water wagon, anticipating that the Province of Quebec, on 10th of April, will vote for the sale of beer and wine. Borden Unveils Taplow Memorial. LONDON, April 7.—Premier Bor- den Friday unveiled at Taplow a memorial to those who died at the Canadian Red Cross Hospital there, The memorial takes the form of a female figure typifying Victory, and stands in the beautiful little ceme- tery on the estate adjoining the hos- pital cemetery, being in the form of an Italian garden.
