NEW GERMAN PLAN WANTS
ALLIED CONSIDERATION.
Associated Press Dispatch.
LONDON, March 14.— Germany
is about to make a declaration that
she ia willing to and ready to
produce a plan for the final settle-
ment of the reparations question,
provided she can rely on the plan
receiving the attention of the allied
governments, says the Daily Tele-

upon whose information the Dally
Telegraph in an editorial says the
fullest reliance may be placed.
According to the correspondent,
the plan, which involves a material
guarantee by the German indus-
tries, will not be disclosed until tbs
German government is assured that
it will not be brushed aside without
serious examination.
Britain will intervene to the Ruhr,

Strong Pressure on Cano.
In diplomatic circles it is said
strong pressure is being brought to
bear upon Chancellor Cuno at Ber-
lin to urge him to accept the Fran-
co-Belgian decision at Brussels as a
desire for peace on the part of the i
French and Belgians and to an-
nounce that Germany is ready to
accept any proposals from any neu-
tral for a conference of political and
economic experts to fix a definite
amount of reparations and take
guarantees to secure payment
The smallness of the governmens
