(Reuter's Telegrams,)

(Roc. December 21, 5.25 p.m.)

Germany will make a big claim for indemnity in i^ast, Prussia us the Allies will for but perhaps it would be cheaper to pay the indemnity than to proceed with the war. the cost of übich in six months 'is more than would pay a lot of indemnities." There appears to be an inclination , in Gorman quarters to think that Bulimia and Turkey will be forced to pay \.ljo piper at the iinish.
