GILBERT Ht'dC'iirrni dent Kirnlnit t'nh'.lo Ider Conrtuht, Ml, bu I'uUlo I.edatr Co. Washington, May 10. The cabinet moots today with cheerful news from Germany. All the Information which the State Department possesses Indi cates that Germany Is getting ready to accept the allied terms on 'reparations. The administration feels that it has won a great victory. When It began to Interest itclf In the European tnngle. nothing seemed so likely as the French occupation of tho Ruhr and the pros tration of German indusvry, with grnve economic consequences for the rest of the world. Today, the occupation of the Ruhr seems to be averted. And the prospect is that not only will Germany accept the allied terms, but that she will pay the reparations to' which she ngrees. The big Influence thnt -linn brought this about has been the clear Indication on the part of the administration that this country stands with the Allies. Wilson Hindered Settlement The ilson administration actually operated to prevent a settlement In Lurope Uorlln watched the open In dications of n brenk with the French nnd the English, the criticism of the French Government by Mr. Wilson, which was aimed nt Mnrshal Foch ; the virtual sending home of Lord Grey, the British ambassador, the Irish agitation here and the development of the nntl Brltjsh feeling. When the amount of reparations was announced at Paris, official condemna tion of it ns excessive wiib immedlnte in Wnshlngton. Out of all this Ger many began to feel the hope that this country would differ sharp!) with the Allies on thn coercion of Germany. And under the leadership of the United States, Germany hoped that Great Brltnln nnd Italy would separate from France, leaving the latter country alone In the policy of collecting full damnges from the lnte foe.
