HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK

HagerstoWn.- to dispose of
the 100000 worth of county school
and road bonds offered for sale to
the highest bidders, the Washington
County Commissioners have launched
an economy program. Expenditures
on public work, the board announced,
would be kept down to the minimum
New York will be limited and work
already started will be completed
with as little expense as possible
The board refused to sell the bonds
on account of the very low bids re-
ceived. President Henry Holzapfel,
Jr., of the board, stated that the
county had paid off every obligation
July l, except the debts incurred in
the purchase of turnpikes and in the
erection of school houses. He stated
that the local banks had come to the
aid of the. county with loans secured
by certificates of Indebtedness. The
board expects again to offer for sale
the county bonds when the securities
market improves.

Governor Ritchie has promised the
town of Princess Anne that 1t Is to
have road through the town to
connect up the State road system,
put according to John N. Mackall,
chairman of the State Roads Com

authorities while en- route to San
Francisco that the Governor had
promised the road to be built "at
once"
"That's all very we'll and good,
said Mr.. Mackall, "fbut there is no
body getting any roads built at once
now, and it is hard to tell when there
will be any work done.' :.
The road requested is part OF the
progress of the State road In that
section, and involves about $1S5,000.

SPA CROWDS meet
GERMANS COLDLY
Throng Gathers at Station as
Chancellor With Four Cabi-
net Ministers Arrive.

Spa, Belgium.-The Allied and Ger
man prime ministers are here to meet
each other for direct negotiations for
the first time since the Versailles
treaty was signed.
The probability of reaching an
agreement on the total sum or repara-
tions Germany is to pay appears
Slight.
The Allied Premiers will communi-
cate their collective decisions to Kon-
stantin Fehrenbach, the German Chan
cellor. He and his associates affirm
they are prepared to refuse demands
which they consider beyond Germany's
strength to meet.
Herr Fehrenbach said that he had
nothing to add to his declarations to
the German Parliament until after he
had met the Allied Ministers. Ger
many's resources and capacity to pay,
he declared, were set forth in the
memorandum given to each of the prin-
cipal and Allied governments.
The conviction Of the German dele
CATION as derived from German
sources Is that, taking the minimum,
unofficial reports of the equivalent of
S2O,O0OOOO,OO0 with interest, or the
maximum of S3O,OO0OO0,0OO, Germany
will not agree to pay even half the
lowest sum.
The Allied Prime Ministers, the cor
respondent is informed, have doubts
themselves of Germany engaging at
this conference to pay anything like
what the Allies must insist upon.
Nor can the Prime Ministers reduce
in the present state Of opinions of
their own Parliaments and peoples
the high figures arrived at tentatively.
Both sides will sound each other
out on this question without reason
able prospect Of agreeing, but with
the view of being in position to re-
new the discussion at another confer
ence.
Conclusions reasonably satisfactory
on other extremely important ques
tions may be reduced, sufficient in
themselves, to make the conference
well worth while.
The spirit of both sides does not
promise much for a compromise Of
the Allied Minister'S determination to
impose their will.

Annapolis.-The Anne Arundel
County Commissioners in session
here, disposed of $4,000, this being

600 distributed $4,000 was paid to

up has resulted in many girls coming

home from college, who assert their
willingness to go into the orchards
and assist in picking, packing and
shipping the peach crop. Miss Mil
dred Bennett, just home from New

ing, suggested that the "farmettes
wear MILDLY blouses and bloomers
while picking peaches, declaring such
a uniform would be practical in 60
ing up and down ladders, climbing
trees, etc. Large dropping straw hats
costing about 10 cents would be the
logical head covering, she said.
