PREPARATIONS NOT
TAKEN SERIOUSLY
BY ECONOMIST

LONDON-"The German repara
tons agreement can't be meant any
more seriously than the original
peace treaty. The thought of two
premiers muddling over silly for
mulas, which they know to be ssilly,
is like a gibbering nightmare"
This opinion, as expressed in the
Manchester Guardian, by John May
nard Keynes. British economist and
chief advisor to the British repre-
sentatives at the Paris Peace Confer
ence, has created considerable stir
in England.
1t was Keynes who wrote Eco
nomic Consequences of the Peace
Conference" in which he PANIED the
decisions arrived at He calls the
Preparations proposals simply an
other move in a game, by which the
players, at any rate, are no longer
taken in
Premier Lloyd George" Keynes
says sarcastically, feels that he
is making progress when he succeeds
in persuading Premier Briant, of
France, to agree that two plus two
doesn't make IL, but eight"
He says that BRAND hopes, in
the French parliament. to make a
good enough song about eight to de-
feat any argument from ex-Presi-
dent Poincare about how much bet
ter it would be for France il two
made IL.
Keynes estimates that Germany
could pay half a billion dollars an
nually and says Bernard M. Baruch.
economic advisor of the American
Peace Mission. estimated about the
same figure.
Some American economists, he
says, estimated billion dollars, but
he never heard of any competent
authority estimating Germany could
pay more than a billion annually.
He contends that if the Paris pro-
posals are more than wind it means
vast reorganization of the channels
of international trade
Keynes concludes that the next act
Of the play must wait until the end
of February, when Germany attends
the London conference.

Craving for Drugs Drives
Former West Side Belle
To Try "Framed'' Grim e

NEW YORK.-A haggard young
woman, her face scanned with agony
and damp with sweat, her fingers
twitching and plucking as she held
the lapels of her shiny serge jacket
close about her throat and her eyes
burning as if in delirium, lurched
into the West Forty-seveath street
police station.
For Gods sake" she implored
the lieutenant on the desk, send
me to a hospital! I'm all in!
can't stand it! I gotta have it,"
Her voice rose to Shrek at the
last words and she writhed against
the railing to which she was cling
forced a calmness, which was more
tense than her contortions, as she
heard the number the lieutenant
called. He knew what was the
trouble and before asking any ques-
lions, telephoned to Flower hospi-
tai for an ambulance.

AREN'T you Ruth Kidder?" asked
Detective Fitzgerald suddenly.
He had been watching the young
woman keenly and recognized the
veStigeS of face and figure which
a few years before had led the
grand marches at most of the balls
on the West side and had inspired
the youth of HeH's Kitchen to per-
fumes and unguents.
In faltering words she admitted
that she was Ruth Kidder and told,
between spasms of desire and
prayers for the swift arrival Of the
ton to morphine. The drug was ad-
ministered to her first, she said,
to relieve pain after an operation.
She got the habit and until re-

he said, and, if he was, could not

ably Bellevue would take her. He
would call up q, doctor there and
inquire. He did so. The doctor said
that Bellevue could not admit Ruth
Kidder because she was able to
walk and had committed no crime.
At this news Ruth Kidder be-
came hysterical. But she was still
able to walk, so DR.. Milligan pack
ed up his kit and departed. There
was only one thing for Ruth to
do-commit crime-and Detective
Fitzgerald told her how to go about
it. That was why a haunted look
ing young woman prowled eagerly
through Greenwich Village last
night with a SIS bill clutched in
her hand looking for the man who
would give her morphine when he
saw her money.
Detective Fitzgerald slipped along
through the shadows behind her.
He had given her the bill, and If
she found what she sought he was
going to arrest the man and Ruth
Kldder also. Then Bellevue would
admit her.

Congress Delegate
From Alaska Gets
$4,000 Back Pa,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Most
full-fedged members of congress
struggle along on salary of about
$40 a day" James Wickersham has
will get about $1,000 a day for be-
ing a territorial delegate from Alas
lza, which means that he cannot vote,
but only sit in the house.
Here is the reason:
In an election several years ago,
Wickersham was declared defeated.
He filed a contest and congress
sional committee found that he was
entitled to the seat. The investiga-
ton required a long time and it was
not until the closing days Of that
cnogress, that the house declared
him member. He occupied his
seat for only short time, but was
entitled to two years salary, mile
age and other compensation, which
is estimated at about $4,000.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The
naval appropriation bill carrying APP
proximately 1895. 100000, was passed
Monday by the house after it had
decisively voted down an amend
ment which would have prevented
the expenditure of any part of the
$9O,000,00O provided for battleship
construction until an international
disarmament conference shall have
been called by the president. The
amendment offered by Representa-
tive Brooks, Republican, Illinois,

nit the bill for the purpose of cut
ting the appropriation for construc-
ton work to $7.000,000 and of elimi-
nation section which permits OF
stop watches in navy yards and
arsenalS.
The measure as it goes to the
senate, however, carries an amend
ment, offered by REPRESENTATIVE
oliver, Democrat. Alabama, that no
part of the $9O,OOO.O00 carried for
new craft shall be used on ships on
which construction has not started
Or for which contracts have not been
let. Chairman Kelley. of the sub

would mean that work could not be
started before July l, 1922, on

rines and one transport, authorized
in 1915, but not yet placed under
contract.
The bill. so far as it's main fea-
lures were cor erped, was approved
by the house practically as it was
reported by the appropriate COM
mittee. Reductions of the enlisted
personnel of the marine corps from
approximately $4,000 to 10000 men
