Reports that the Hrltlsb Cabinet was considering, the proposed moratorium for Germany' were entlrmed in official circles today. The point being discussed is under what conditions a moratorium could be de clared.

As yet no very concrete opinion, has developed, although it is noteworthy that there Is complete absence of nny declared hos tility te the suggestion of a morator ium for Germany, or any ether scheme calculated te render payment of the reparations easier. The-question of France's position is discussed by the financial writers, who assume that n mornterlum would be distasteful te her. but It is argued that French interests would be served equally with Rritish. and that France would gain mere In the long run under such a plan than by fu.-ther occupation of German territory should Germany de fault in her payments. The linnneial writers emphasize the absolute necessity for Germany te cease printing paper currency if 'a moratorium Is te be granted, and some raise the question wbcth.r Germany can be trusted te keep her word in this regard. Anether condition advocated Is that Germany be required te make her budget for 1022-1023 balance exclusive of reparations, nnd it is stated that she has already intimated her readiness te de this, ROBBERS SEEN ON ROOF Carfare In Cashier's Cage of Railway Company Is Geal of Bandits Twe men last night attempted te fercc tI,cir w,,y into tlle cashier's cage ?f..t.!ic '?!L r&1 '.
