Allied reparations demands being advo-
Gated today by the British representa-
tives of the Allied Conference here. The
proposal was opposed by the French and
the Belgians on the ground that it was
unnecessary, as the Germans already
had had sufficient time. The French
held that the default of Germany in her
Treaty obligations calls for immediate
military or economic action, and that the
note sending should come afterward. 1t
is understood that the Belgian Minister
also favours this course.
London, May 1st.-The British and
French Govts. have reached an agree

tomorrow order the mobilization OF one
additional class. This is the general re-
suit of an agitated day Of conversations
and conferences that seemed likely to end
in sharp disagreement among the Allies.
The agreement was brought about by the
intervention of the Belgian Minister
M. Jaspar at a meeting of the Supreme
Council this afternoon. The French
Premier asked for British naval co.
Hamburg. The British Prime Minister
replied that public opinion in the United
States would not approve of such a
course and he could not agree to a
blockade which would bring the Allies
into a controversy with the United
States. M. BRAND agreed to this point
of view. He added that the course Of
the United States had been absolutely
correct.
Paris, May 1st The Preparations Com
missi IN today made public its note
to the German war burdens commission
on reparations. The communication
which is dated May first informs the
German Commission of the intention
of the PREPARATIONS commission to es-
tabIish within the shortest time posi-
bic the amount of damages for which
Germany owes PREPARATIONS under arti-"
Gle 233 Of the Treaty Of Versailles.
Meanwhile without prejudice to the
foregoing accounting, the reparatlons
commission notifies t e war burdens
commission that twelve billion marks
in gold are due today. The note is sign
ed by M. Dubois, President of the re-
parations commission and NJ. Delacroix,
ex-Premier of Belgium. Under article
233 of the Versailles treaty, the repa-
rations commission was empowered to
set the amount of damages suffered by
the Allies through the war, for which
compensation must be made by Germany.
The Article stipulated that the Commits

WORLDS GREATEST SALT BED
Supply in Lower California, II is AS
serted, Is Beyond Possibility
of Exhaustion.

On Carmen island, in the Gulf Of
Loreto, Lower California, are the great
est salt beds in the world, being two
and half miles wide. The salt is of
natural formation and lies in super
posed strata ca inches in thickness and
with a strata of water between each
Of salt. Although excavations of IL
feet have been made without failure
of salt, the extreme depth of stratitica-
tion is unknown. The surface alone
is worked and as the salt from this is
carried away, the water from the lower
strata rises to the surface. and after
coming in contact with the air and sun
shine. within a fortnight fills the old
strata with new salt The salt is dug
out practically pure and by means Of
a diminutive railroad is delivered on
Shipboard at a cost of but % cents a
ton. The Jesuit missionaries offered
to entirely support all the California
missions in return for perpetual
grant to them of Carmen island, but
the king of Spain refused to consider
the proposition. 1t has been said that
If all the fleets of Europe gathered
there to load salt they never could eX-
haust II, not only on account Of the
reat size Of the deposits, but prin-
clpally because the salt is reproduced
as soon as taken out.

GREAT MAN NEVER HESITATES
SeIf-Relance One of the Most lmpor-
tant Possessions That Can
Be Acquired.

Insist on yourself; never initiate.
Your own gift you can present every
moment with the cumulative force of
a whole life's cultivation; but of the
adopted talent of another you have
only an eXtempOraneous half posses
sion. That which each can do best
none but his Maker can teach him.
No man yet knows what 1t is, nor can
til that person has exhibited it. Where
is the master who could have taught
shakespeare Where is the master
who could have instructed Franklin
or Washington or Newton or Bacon?
Every great man is unique, The Scip-
ionism of Scipio is precisely that part
he could not borrow. If anyone will
tell me whom the great man initiates
in the original crisis when he performs
a great act, | will tell him who else
can teach him. Do that which Is as
signed thee and thou canst not hope
too much nor dare too much. Dwell
up there in the simple and noble re-
gions of thy life, obey thy heart and
thou shalt reproduce the Foreworld
again.-Ralph Waldo Emerson.

MUSIC

The Florence Hinkle concert, Friday,
Jan 2s, under the auspices of the Mon
day Music club, Mrs. c. NJ Gleason,
director, was great satisfaction and
incentive to musical people, and a
pleasure to everyone. Nine. Hinkle
gave four groups of songs; Handel,
Horn, Puccini, and Donaudy; a group
.of French songs, two from Fourdrain,
and Poldowski's LLeure exquisite; a
third group with John Powell's
Heart scase," and a Dutch lullaby by
.BroeckX; the program worked up to a
climax of efficiency to the fourth
group, containing "Heart Sorrow" the
message" and three Negro ballads
The singer was heartily encored and
responded most garciously with charm
ing numbers,
Mrs, Hinkle is an unusual example
of voice control, careful phrasing and
interpretation Helen Wolverton of
New York played most satisfying ac-
compartments Never in these parts
has a soprano done more effective if as
capable work. These concerts furnish
exceedingly fine opportunity to hear
the best music given anywhere, and at
only average prices.

HEN AND KITTEN CHUMMY
Really Remarkable Case Of Friend.
ship That is Vouehed for by
Woman Writer.

The strangest friendship that the
writer has ever seen was that Of a
Young Plymouth Rock hen and a white
kitten,
When the kitten was about two
months old she was very fond of be
ing around in the chicken park, OF
wherever the chickens were. She was
the friendliest kitten alive and showed
a disposition to chum with every liv.
ing thing. But the chickens paid nc
attention to her except to get out OF
her way The hen in question, how.
ever, met her advances kindly and
they soon became boon companions.
Many times day they were to be
seen walking together Rround the
place. The hen would frequently stand
still while kittie would rub back and
forth against her breast And while
Biddy scratched for bugs and worms
the little white kitten was never far
away. We do not know what was
their means of communication, but
they evidently had a satisfying one
for they never seemed to tire Of each
other. They associated together to
the exclusion of the other fowls and
cats on the place. One seldom saw
Biddy with the other chickens, and
little white kitten absolutely deserted
her little white twin. We sometimes
wondered If the kitten thought she
was chicken or the hen believed her.
self to be a cat. At all events, they
were most cOngenial.
This state of affairs continued until
the sale of the farm necessitated their
being parted.-Mabel' j. McIlwane, in
Our Dumb Animals.

Victory Worth While.

There's no satisfaction equal to the
consciousness Of measuring up to your
limits. The man who does the merely
ordinary things can never take the
pride in his achievements men of
vision take. They see what lies be-
yond the ken of calculating mortals.
Struggle to them IS second nature.
They delight in hard things because
they are hard And to them come the
great victories that never tarry long
enough to be made sure to the weak
ling and the fearful. It may cost toll
and struggle to land the crowns men
pray for, but they have no value with
out sacrifice. When men purchase re-
wards that demand the strain Of every
capacity to win them, they are train
ing the personalities in reserve that
when set to work mark the supernan.
Crit.
