CONCESSIONS
TO GERMANY
American Economy Experts Advocate
That Prussians be Given
Manufactures Over
Colonies.

IBy Lowell Mellett, United Press
Staff Correspondent
PARIS, June 3.-American ecopo-
nv experts, in conference with Iresi
dent Wilson today advocated that
Germany be given manufactures oyel
her former East Africa colonies to
assist her to meet her financial otli-
cations.
The matter was opened in consc
uuence of Premier Lloyd Georges
proposal that upper Silesia be re-
turned to Germany for economic
reasons. The American experts.
however, suggested that Poland Ie-
tain upper SiIesia and the Germans
be given supervision over certain of
her recent East African possessions.
In addition to this question: the
American commissioners and experts
discussed the entire problem Of ieps-
rations, the Saar valley settlement,
details of the league of nations and
the points brought out in the Ger
man counter proposals. The presi-
dent instructed the American experts
to meet their British and French
conferees and draw UP final conclu-
siong for submission to the big four.
From an authoritative source, 1t
was learned today that Wilson,
Lloyd-George and Clemenceau are
now agreed on the advisability OF
modifying the treaty. The question
now was safc to be the degree or
modification necessary and when 1t
should be done. Lloyd-George, 1t was
understood, -favors changing the
terms before compelling the Ger
mans to sign. Clemenceau was re-
ported to insist that the present
treaty should be signed and that IT
should then be reopened for such
notifications as are deemed essen
tiaI. The presidents view as 10
when the notifications should be
made. could not be obtained, but
that he is in favor of several
changes was declared to be certain.

SUMMER TIME
AT LIBRARY
It Is Not Open in the Evening Now
But That Does Not Seem to
Make Much Difference
to Readers.

Beginning last evening, the Keo.
kuk public library is closed evenings
after o'clock, and it opens an hour
earlier in the morning, now being
open at 8 o'clock, instead of 10
O'Clock.
The change does not make much
difference, apparently, to the public,
Librarian Mamie P. Fulton says.
Just as many books are taken out in
the six hours day in the summer
as in the eleven, hours day in the
winter.
Of course, the evening readers who
congregate there to peruse the news
papers and magazines, or to dig out
some data on some special subject,
cannot do that now. But 1t gets so
warm by the first of June that their
ranks are thinned to the vanishing
point by that time anyhow, and the
closing of evenings really keeps none
of them from visit they would
otherwise pay the library.
