GE ERMANS CAN SETTLE
INDEMNITY ACCOUNT
|NSTALLMENT PLAN

Paris, May 17.--It is understood in
official circles here that the Anglo
French conference at Hythc, which
closed yesterday, decided that the
sum which Germany should pay as
reparation would be fixed at 120,-
G00,0O0,000 marks gold approximate.
ly $50, 600 900, ,OOO).
1t is also understood that it was
decided Germany would be permitted
TO issue bonds covering her indebted.
ness to the allies, payable in annual
installments.
Such action, it is pointed cur, would
enable France TO discount u part OF
her claim on Germany and permit
her TO settle her debts to the United
States and the allies.
y special conference Of the allies
will lie held at Ostend to consider
financial questions among the allies,
il is stated. This meeting will be
independent of the league Of nations
conference IT Brussels. The dates
Of these conferences remain to be
fixed.
The decisions thus reported have
been favorably received in French
circles. While the total amount TO
be paid as reparation is much lower
than the figure France desired, and
Is still further short of the actual
sum declared to be required to re-
store the devastated regions and pay
for other damage, it is pointed out
that $4,000 0O0,0 900 marks in gold,
which is figured as Frances share,
would be equivalent at the present
rate OF exchange to nearly 100000
100000 francs in French paper. This,
It is felt, could hardly fail to satisfy
French public opinion.

POULTRY BREEDERS
ARE COIN c To TAKE
SOME DRAST| { ACTION

Unless the state poultry breeders
hold the 1921 annual convention at
some place in the southern half OF
the state, the chances are good that
the next legislature will have an op-
portunity of disseminating the annual
appropriation of $4,000 levied for
such purposes.
This statement was made by Refs
Evans OF this city today, who recit-
ed that since the organization of the
association every state meet had
been held in the northern part Of
the state, disregardng the breeders
in the south, who have been compelled
to travel long distances with their
entries.
Under the law the annual conven.
tion can not be held twice in sue.
cession in the same city, this year
the convention is to be Mt Muskogee,
regardless of the fact that that city
has had it once before.
Ardmore made fight for the con-
vention for this year, but was de-
feated in the attempt, the breeders
here however, are not taking the
matter to heart, and are going to do
their part toward making 1t q sue
cess, but unless there is some agree
mont made before the next conven-
ton, a fight will be made to locate
1t either permanently at Oklahoma
City. or else have the southern por-
ton Of the state shown some consid.
Grafton in the future
Failing in this II bill will probably
be introduced in the next Legislature
asking that the appropriation be dis.
continued, as the breeders here feel
they are being taxed for something
TO which they are entitled but are
not getting.

. PROPOSES AMENDMENT
TO THE. CONSTITUTION

Washington, May l7.--Amendmert
use of public funds for the support
Of sectarian institutions is recon-
mended in a resolution unanimously
adopted today by the southern Baptist
convention.
Introducing the resolution, DR.. Gam

clared that Baptists were opposed to
receiving money for their own work
and every religious order in the
world ought to pay its own expenses
The resolution recites the form OF
the proposed amendment as follows:
mo law shall be passed respecting
an establishment of religion or pro-
hibiting the free exercise thereof; nor
shall the national government, or any
state, county, city, town, village, or
other civil division use its property,
OF credit, or any money raised by tax
alton or otherwise, or authorize eth
ed to be used for the purpose of found
ing, maintaining or aiding by ap'
preparation payment for services, ex-
penses or in any other manner any
church, religious denomination or
religious society or institution, school,
society or undertaking which is Who'll
ly or in part under sectarian or &c.
