PEACE TERMS.
i GERMAN JUGGLERY. OVER INDEMNITY ESTIMATE. FARCICAL COUNTER-CLAIMS. ' Received Dee. 19, 8.35 p.m. London, Dec. 17. The Times jays that German financiers are busy juggling with the estimates of indemnities, with a view to proving that the Allies must moderate their claims. They admit that the damage in Belgium and northern France and the submarined tonnage must be restored, but counter-claims are minutely, and in some instances humorously, detailed. These include payment for the destruction of. oversea trade, colonial interests and merchant ships seized, the cost of feeding prisoners, compulsory business liquidations, damage to bombed towns, value of food abandoned in France, and the surrendered guns, aeroplanes, warships, and AJwe-Lorrame railways.—Reuter
