sion for Rehearina.

The protests were met sympatheti.
cally by the Council of Four, which
sent the question to the Reparations
sub-commission for a rehearing. This
submission will be supplemented by
Franco-British representatives, who
are understood to be opposed to any
change. The British representatives
delegated are General SHUTS and John
M. Keynes and the French are Captain
Andre Tardieu and Louis Loucheur.
1t is believed new report will be
made exempting the new states from
any payments on account of repara-
tion or public property taken over.
The prime factor in the negotiations
has been the fact that about $1OO, ,OOO,.

held In France, and the cabinet has
promised to procure repayment to it's

MORE GIFTS COME IN
| ==FOR SOLDIER PATIENTS
Additional Phonograph VIII Be
- Purchased for Boys at St.
S,s Elizabeth Hospital.

Contributions OF money to purchase
musical recreational facilities for the
soldier and sailor patients out at st.
Elizabeth Hospital continue to be re-
ceived by The Star. A check for SIS
has recently come from Olivis T. Clos
son, while an anonymous donor, the
same day left SO in cash. both of these
gifts being for photograph records.
After several dozen brand-new rec
ords had been purchased with earlier
contributions. the suggestion came
from the hospital authorities that
part of these generous gifts be put
into a moderate-priced phonograph
for the benefit of one of the wards
which now is lacking in this amuse-
,nent provider. Inasmuch as it is as
sumed that the contributors probably
do not care whether their money be
spent for records or the machine to
put them on. this will be done. and
the new machine, plus number of
records of the better class. will be
sent in care of DR.. J. C. Hassall of
tire hospital staff.
The hospital authorities. DR.. Hassall
says, are more than appreciative of
the response of generous Wahing-
tonians to the fact printed in The
star that the influx of many hun
dreds of new patients since the war
Started has resulted in an increased
and partially unmet demand for ma
chimes. records, up-to-date current
literature and good books. A num-
ber of gifts have gone TO DIR. Hassall
direct, which he tries invariably to
acknowledge on behalf of the insti-
tuition. Money gifts are acknowl
edged in these columns from time to
time, while The Star is glad to re-
ceive contributions of used records,
magazines, books and talking ma
Chimes. Records of the better class
are specially desirable, according to
Dr.. William A. White. superintendent
OF the hospital, because they not only
stand constant repetition better, but
s:fso have a certain curative effect IN
shattered nerves.
