During the early hours Of the 7av III,

French Claims Work to
Disadvantage of Other
Nations.

Paris, Thursday, April 10.-(By The
Associated Press s1.-While the members
of the British and French parIiaments
are mobillzing for proposal to exact
nothing less than full indemnity fer the
allies by Germany for all the costs OF
the war and are insisting on Germany S
ability to pay the full bill, the American
representatives Of the reparatiens com
mission express considerable doubt
whether even the account to be present
cd to Germany under the plan adopted
by the council OF four testimated at
about SD 900 100000 with the payment
spread over a period of 30 years can or
will be collected in full They assert
that they can see the possibility that
the ways and means Of holding Germany
to payment will grow weaker as the
years pass. and that Germany may take
advantage Of aome convenient onpor-
tunity IN later years TO repudiate her OBJ
legations to the present allied powers un-
der the peace treaty. They recall the
action OF Russia in repudiatine the re-
strlctive Black sea clauses Of the treaty
imposed at the conclusion Of the Grimean
war at moment when new political
constellation in Europe gave the en-

imnunity.
For this reason the American and
other delegates on the reparations com
mission have opposed a new proposal

timing that this revised the principle Of
priority as between the various creditors
of Gerfnany, which had been rejected by
the commission and the council OF four.
They argued that France in this way
might receive dispraportionatelv large
share of her claims in the first wears
while the ability of the allied govern
ments to enforce payment was still good
and that other states depend upon later

THOMSON SUGGESTS
BETTER ROAD SIGNS

After tour to Long Beach, Calf,
and home again Geo. Thomson says
that Oregon can learn much from the
sister state to the south in marking her
highways.
"Oregon authorities. says Mr.
Thomson, "are especially careless in
marking detours and the motorist, as a
result, is put to much inconvenience.
In California it is not so difficult to find
ones way about.
Mr.. Thomson, accompanied by his
wife and son-in-law and daughter, Mr..
and Mrs. Edgar Franz, spent five weeks
on the motor vacation. The long trip
of 3, 900 miles was made in Mr.. Thom-
son s big Marmon. The only trouble
experienced resulted from few pune
lures, and on the way north not even a
plncture marred the pleasure of the
journey. En- route south Mr.. Thomson
drove by way Of Bend, Lake View and
Alturas, Calf. Thence the party went
to Westwood, Chico and Sacramento
1--WE hit about all kinds of road, says
Mr.. Thomson, some seemed unreal,
they were so good. and others were
certainly bad dreams. And everywhere
we found highway construction work
under way. Detours are the bane of
the motorists existence these days. but
he can stand them, thinking of the
better roads to come.

Creek canyon in southern Oregon was
impossible, but we made it. The worst
stretch we found was between Rose
burg and Cottage Grove"
