GERMAN GOLD
 NOW 4 PROBLEM

Paris, Thursday, May 29-Econom- ic experts with the different delega- tfons at the peace conference are making a close study of the disposi- ton to be made of the gold which the Germans are paying for food SUD- plies. This gold is being shipped into Belgium and stored in the Bel gian national bank. Realizing there would be a general disturbance of world credits if this gold should be taken to the United States, econom- ists have advanced a plan to hold the metal where it is as security which will be gradually redeemed by shipments of comm odities to various parts of the world. They say this would build up a cycle of credits which would assist in stabilizing world commerce, place the United States in a splendid trading position and eventually make the gold available for the allies, who need it as a basis for their currency.
 Experts hold the plan will secure the payment of allied debts to Amer ica and assist in restoring allied countries to normal conditions of em- pIoyment, which the peace missions recognize as absolutely necessary for the resumption of the world com merce. It is that the payments or gold by Germany is rapidly reducing the German gold reserve.

HUN CABINET
 WILL NOT SIGN

Berlin, Thursday. May 29-(B By The Associated Press) )-Irhe German for eign office reiterated cateSor<cally and emphaticaliy today q statement made on behalf of the cabinet on May 20 that Germany declines to sign the terms laid before it."
 In the meantime the statement, which was given originally to The Associated Press has been circulated throughout Germany by the official Wolff Bureau with credit to The AS sociated Press.
 The original statement was trans lated from the German into English after the German version had been the subject of a long debate at the foreign office. It was then sent from the foreign office to the correspond ent by special messenger. The Eng lish version was then submitted to the foreign office for approval. It was stamped by an official with a fluent knowledge of English.
 It has been noted that the preamble to the German counter proposals contained many phrases similar to those of the statement of May 20.

ASK PREMIER TO
 EXERT PRESSURE:

Montreal, May 31-Premier Borden today received a message, forwarded from this city by Charles Dickie, Secretary-Treasur of Division No 1, Railway Shopmen, insisting that pressure be brought on employers to accept the principle of collective bar gaining, one of the chief issues at stake in the Canadian general strikes. The message read:
 We the executive board of Di- vision No. f, Railway Employees de- partme ent, representing $50, GOO rail- way employees in Canadian railways, and negotiating on wages and work ing conditions with the Canadian rail- way war board, having established the precedent of collective bargain ing last year, which has proved suc- cessful in maintaining harmony on Canadian railways, do insist that pressure be brought to bear on the different employers of labor invited to accept this method of procedure, and are amazed that such a state of cfaos should be necessary to accom- plish such a generally recognized method"

N. Y. PROBATION
 SYSTEM PRAISED

Atlantic City, N. J., May a.---De- claring that he did not think much of the police force of his own city, Chi cago, Judge John Huston of the ju- venile court of that city, praised the system in New York City at the con- 'yention of the national probation as- sociation here today.
 It was inevitable that the police should seek to get major indictments against every offender upon whom they could lay their hands, he said. It was equally natural that they at tribute the wave of banditry which has been sweeping over the country to an excess of leniency upon the part of parole and probation officers.
 Nothing could possibly be more futi1e,'' Dr. H. H. Goddard, of Ohio, said, than to attempt to reform the feeble minded child. In order to be reformed a child must be in possession of it's health. That should be the basis of all reformation methods. An industrial school is no place for a juvenile who is mentally deficient

RIVAL MERIDIANS

'The chronometer is mighty inn portant machine for it gives you your bearin's," says the old whaling cap tain who relates one of his adven- lures in Armstrong Perry's story "A Team of Whales published in the June issue of Boys Life. Time, of course. is only a measurement of the suns travels around the earth. The Britisher says the sun starts and fin ishes at his Greenwich Observatory and he ups and draws a line around the earth passin' through the North Pole, the South Pole and Greenwich. Then says he: Ready set, gol and the sun starts his 360 degree sprint. In twenty-four hours he crosses the line again. That's fifteen degrees per hour. A scared porpoise couldn't do better
 When the sun starts, the English man says it's twelve. o'clock, noon- When he is fifteen degrees west, it's one o'clock D. m. (afternoon) at Greenwich and so on. I've noticed, howsumever, that the Englishman is mighty careful to get out his sextant and say Cor when the sun is exact ly overhead. If he doesn't, old Sol goes right by and the Englishman's s chronometer, which bosses all the other chronometers in the world is just so much off.
 Uncle Sam tried to take the honor away from Johnny Bull by drawing another meridian, as they call the line, through the North Pole, the South Pole and Washington, D- C., but peo- pie all over the world had become so used to using the Greenwich meridian that they wouldn't change. So Uncle Sam has his nice new meridian to play with all alone.

That's because the landlubber can see where he is at He forgits that there ain't no sign post at the crossin' of the equator and Greenwich Meridian, like there is where Canal street crosses the Bowery.

The NC As trip today was diff cult. The seaplane had to fly low because the weather was foggy vir- tnally all the way. For the most part the plane travelled at a height of only 50 to 100 feet above the sea.
 The entrance of the American fly CT into the harbor was impressive. Three British planes which for some time had been tuning up to go to meet the American, put to sea when it was learned she was nearing port and met her about fifty miles from Plymouth. The NC-4 and her escort circled the harbor after they had swept in, making a notable spectacle in the bright sunshine.
