AGREEMENT NEAR
ON DAMAGE CLAIMS
Allies Will Assess on Ger.
vnony's Whole Liabilities.

London Times Seruice
Copyright. 1919: all piohts reserved.
Paris, Feb. 12.-In dealing with the
commission has been snced with three
distinct theories as to how the question
should be approached.
The first theory. which Ia Of French
origin. draws the distinction between
pillage ana the debt caused by the sums
the Allies and the United States have
had to disburse In the struggle against
her According TO this theory the liahil-
tiles under tho former category should
be discharged FIRST.
The second view. set forth by Premier
Hughes OF Australia IL that the Allies
should assess the whole extent OF Ger
many'a liabilities, whether due to de-
struction or compensation, for expense
incurred and Germany should meet this
debt the best way she can, each creditor
receiving reimbursement In proportion
to his loss In the same way as the
creditors OF n bankrupt individual.
The third theory. OF American origin.
regards the matter In a more lenient
point of view. II does not consider at
all the question Of compensation for
expenses incurred Only the damage
done would be paid for. This means
Germanys liabilities are considerably
reduced. but as her resources are limited
II insures more complete compen alton
for the countries whore territory was
ravaged. The international commission
has taken the second theory as a basis
on which to work.

Supporting tho Prlnkipo proposal the
Premier argued that it was by no means

assassins. The Bolshsvik system could
not last forever. ana In the meantime,
he was informed the threat OF Inter-

that the Allies must do their best In
the interest not only OF Russia but also
OF Great Britain and OF the world to
restore order and good government In
that distracted country.
Mr. Lloyd George was sorry to hear
members talking In rather sighting tone
about the League OF Nations. Any one
attending the Peace Conference must
realize how much the little nations were
relying on the league, They were not

and that American public opinion is not

NEXT COMES WHAT

The Australian government. by way
of experiment, has installed two ma.
chimes that a scientist of that country
has invented for stimulating rainfall
by liberating high tension electricity
in the upper atmosphere.
When we are able to travel to Lon
don by airplane, ride on trains at a
speed of 300 miles per hour, talk by
wireless to the countries on the other
side of the earth, and make it rain
whenever the crops need moisture
then this will surely be a pretty good
world to live in.
The next in line will probably be an
invention whereby the sun will be
made to shine every day and clouds
will be controlled by an electric
switch.

ANOTHER PEST

Things in general have a way OF
starting afresh in the spring of the
year Some of those things We like
to help along by giving them as much
encouragement as possible; Others
we like to stop as soon as they get
started. In this second class is that
insect despised, perhaps, above all
others, the fly.
In recent years we have learned
that to do away with the house-fiy
means to do away with a great deal
of disease. In the middle of the sum-
mer, after there are already billions
upon billions of them at their work Of
carrying and spreading germs, it is a
somewhat hopeless task to try to get
rid of them. Now is the logical time
to fight the fly. The season is yet too
early for him to have mustered much
of force, but from now on they will
fall in rapidly.
Start now to swat the fly. For every
one that is killed now. there will be
millions less in this pestilent legion
next July.
