The difference between the
worlds market price per ton and
the amount the Allies will pay will

mentoin the shape Of foreign credit
FOR the purchase of food and raw
material but will no. be charged
OH her reparational obligations.
The Allied comEli sion, 10 which
German experts will be attached.
will allot the output Of the Upper
Silesian coal fields so as TO assure
German consumers fair share of
the production Of these mines.
The above proposal constitutes
the last word of The Allies in this
long and highly explosive debate
on Germany's deliveries of coal un-
der the peace treaty. They were
agreed upon at a sitting of the SUI
preme Council at Villa Fraineuse.
and one hour later were turned
over TO the Gcrmar Foreign Min

NUMBER s
DROPS SAFELY.

Lieut.. John H. Wilson, of the 96th
Aero Squadron, Kelly Field, Texas,
leaped with a parachute from q
De Haviland B aivplane at an alti-
tudc of approximately 10000 feet
and made a safe landing in tur-
nip patch, thus establishing world
record Of such a jump and show
ing that the contrivance will work
in rarefied air. The previous re-
cord was drop Of $4,000 feet by
a Frenchman. The American re-
cord was 5000 feel. .
Lieut.. Wilson jumped with two
parachutes. His plan was to use
the second if the first showed
signs of giving out during the first
few thousand feet. Lieut.. Wilson
reported it was difficult TO discern
any downward motion. He ap-
peared to be hanging motionless
in the atmosphere. A minute or
so later, however, action came fast.
He dropped into stratum disturb
ed by a northerly gal" and was
buffeted about like a chip on a
stormy sea. His stomach objected
seriously and things looked badly
for time.
AS he dropped from the stormy
stratum he saw he was drifting
further and further from the field
and sideslipped his chute toward
it. Three hundred feet from the
ground he pulled his second chute
to insure an easy landing.

AWARD OF R. R. LABOR BOARD.

The Commission appointed by

ers and employees agreeing to ac-
cept the award, having awarded
increase pay Of 5000, 100000 TO l.
100000 railroad employees, it is
now to be seen whether Labor,
failing to get the one billion in
crease it demanded, VIII accept the
award in good fai;n and put an end
to further agitation Of the question.
Brotherhood officials after all
day conferences made 10 attempt
to conceal their disappointment
that they did not get all Of the bill
lion dollar increase they asked.
the belief grew however, in the alb
sence of any talk of an immediate
strike that the union officials would
submit the award, probably with
out recommendation to rcferen-
dunn of the men. A decision on
this point was promised the next
day by w. &. Lee, of Cleveland,
grand president of tho Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen.
The railroad representatives ac-
cepted the award phiicsophically
and Immediately set about plans
for passing the $600. 100000 addi-
ton to their wage budget along to
