AUSTRIA NOT TO PAY
ANY PREPARATIONS
Council Cancels Other Debts
and Approves Loan.
Bv the Associnted Press.


PARIS, Jan. 29.-Full agreement Oh
reparations, German disarmament and
all other important questions before il
was reached by the Supreme Council of
the Allies when it adjourned this eve
ming to meet again in London on Febru-
airy q.
A protocol was signed approving tn :
reparations scheme as agreed by the
special committee appointed by the
council to consider the subject and ais,
the report on the disarmament Of Ger
many as presented by the military CON-
mittee. Under these arrangements Ger
many must disarm by July /, disban6-
ing all her civic guards not provided
for in the Versailles treaty.
Germany will be called upon to pay in
forty-two annuties on a sliding scale
100000, 100000 gold marks. Her exports
will. in addition. bear an export duty
of IL per cent. that will go TO the Allies.
On the basis of last years exports. this
would give the Allies 100000. 900 goLl
marks. or IL per cent OF whatever
money in which the exports are paid
for. Thus it is estimated the first pay
ment made by Germany will be $780,
000,0 gold marks. the export tax be-
ing paid entirely in cash
1t is pointed out that. besides being
a sure method Of collection of the
reparations. 1t will act as a protective
tariff in countries that are neighbors
Of Germany, which are likely to be
flooded with goods made in Germany
at a very low cost Of production. be-
cause of the relatively low value of the
mark. and which consequently can ne
offered in foreign markets at low prices
in foreign money.
The proposal 10 apply penalties to the
reparations and other agreements was
presented by Premier Lloyd George.
According to the terms OF the ar
ranSement the annuities and export
taxes are payable semi-annually. Dis
count for advance payments will be
S per cent. for the first two years, G
per cent. the third and fourth years
and per cent. thereafter. Germany
is forbidden TO esta blish foreign credits
without the approval OF the Reparations
Commission.
The council agreed to adopt the Repa.
rations Commissions proposal that Ger
many should deliver 100000 tons OF
coal monthly. beginning In February
and any balance remaining under the
Spa agreement. terminating January 81
There will be no further premiums oi
five marks gold a ton, but two marks
gold will be allowed for a special quality
OF coal
The Supreme Councils decisions were

In the attempt to aid Austria it was

According to the Temps tonight the
suggestion of Increasing the tax pro-
gressively was rejected in the Council
through fear Of American opposite
But there is much speculation about
what the United States will do about
the tax already fixed from which the
Germans are planning to appeal directly
to the Harding Administration.
While the French are making much of
the moral effect that win be produced
by the export tax, II is already clear TO
many persons that the maximum tax
collection can only be obtained at the
expense Of the Allies own industries.
Concerning annuities Germany will be
asked TO deliver a series of negotiable
bonds covering each fixed annuity, whose
value, the Temps says. depends largely
on the attitude Of the new Administra-

Banker Comments on German
Repdrations Scheme.

Thomas W. Lamont OF ]. p. Morgan
& Co.. who was a member of the rep
arations commission of the American
delegation at the peace conference. made
the following statement last night upon
the question of German .reparations:
"It is almost idle TO speculate upon
the proposed settlement of German rep
arations until the conference with Ger
many is held and her own attitude may
clear. Her consent Is Necessary as Lloyd
George has pointed out because the
Treaty Of Versailles provides that the
payments are not TO be extended beyond
a perio1 of thirty years. while the new
scheme provides for a period of forty
two years.
''As for the total amount now pro-
posed IL would appear not TO vary great
ly from the sum that was proposed at
Paris by most of the American delega-
ton say $4,000. .000.000 or $50. 000,-
600 900 as q capital sum. Adding in
tcrest to that tho total would probably
reach about the figure OF $4,000. 000.-
00o
THE early instalmcnts were at the
rate of 1000 000.0 900 marks gold per
annum. This does not sound like an un-
reasonable sum. or at least ii would
probably not have proved so III the total
amount of indemnity had been fixed in
the Versailles treaty. as the American
delegation so urgently proposed. and II

how II will work IL Germany accepts it,.
nobody can say. It Is. of course. de-
signed to bring revenue to the Allies in

But will Germany work to Increase her
export trade under such conditions?

Serve as Aldermen

With the annual city election due
to fall on Tuesday, April 9Th, there
is little or no political gossip going
he rounds in city hall circles.
At the office of the City Clerk the
matter of possible candidates is not
even being discussed and the ten day
filing limit is still too far off to worry
possible candidates.
Thert are only three city officials
to be voted on at the spring election
this year and they are to fill the va
cancies left by the expiration OF
terms among council members.
In every instance, the retiring
members are quiet on the matter OF
their possible candidacy and as yet
no hint of possible candidates has
reached the outer world.
| All persons desiring to become can
didates for the office of councilman
must file their nomination papers
at least ten days before the date Of
election, Tuesday, April 9Th.

SLAUGHTER HOUSE ROBBED

The Dlrnberger slaughter house
situated one half mile east of the city
was broken into Tuesday night and
two quarters of beef were ruined by
the burglar in his effort to secure the
meat. The culprit wantonly slashed
meat from the quarters of two beef,
leaving the bone and largest part of
the quarters intact. AS result of
the theft, neither of the quarters left
to the owner can be used. This is the
second time within short period
that the Dirnberger slaughter house
has been broken into. Joseph Dim
berger, proprietor of the Corner
Meat Market, stated Wednesday that
in the future he would take means to
prevent further theft and warns all
people to remain away from the
slaughter house after darkness.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS SAID

PROPOSITION

With only few scattering returns
filed with the county auditor, but
with every precinct heard from in
directly, the farmers of Stearns
county have practically voted unan-
imously against the maintaining Of
the office of County Agricultural
agent.
This matter was put to a referen-
dunn vote, March 9Th, at the sug-E
gestion of the County Board of Sup
ervisors, before whom a petition had
been filed asking that the services OF
the county agent be dispensed with.
In session at St. Cloud today,
(Thursday,) the board is acting on
the matter and if they follow the
dictates of the voters, the office will
be abolished in Stearns county. ~
In case the board takes this action,
the services of Mr.. Huntemer will
cease on July l., the date set for the
new appropriation schedule.
Some of the precincts heard from
voted unanimously against the re-
tanning of an agent, while others
! showed few votes in favor Of the
maintaining of the office.
| In almost every instance the vote
was almost four to one against the
plan.
Under the existing conditions, the
agent was being paid salary OF
$4,000 by the county and $1,000 BY
the state, making total of $4,000.
That the board members were not
in accord on the matter of an agent

made by Ferd Bergman, Sank Cen
tres representative in that body.

TWIN CITY AND FEDERAL Of

ONER OVER

Police and federal authorities be-
lieve that they have finally captured
Delbert Smith, former Grey Eagle
boy, wanted for murder and train
robbery on the Northern Pacific road
near st. Cloud on February 18th.
A man answering the description
of Smith has been arrested in Boston
and is being held under $4,000
bond.
Postal and state officials left Mon
day for Boston to identify the man
and in case he is found to be Smith,
he will be brought back to st. Paul
to stand trial.
The man arrested in Boston gave
the name of Miner F. Crawford and
stated that his home was at Hutchln-
son, Kansas. Inquiry at Hutchinson
however, revealed the fact that no
person by that name was known In
that city.
So striking is said to be the resem-
blance, that a policeman walking thru
the terminal, saw him and immedia-
tely stopped, trying to recall where
his attention had been called to the
man before. He then is said to have
remembered the mail robbery poster
of the postoffice department and I'M
mediately arrested the man as
"Smith."
The man tried to convince the po-
liceman that he was in error, but ne
was taken to the Boston Central sta

resemblance and ordered him held.
