They walked through the woods un-

There was Mrs. Wood Elf poking the

Germany Says She viii Not Pay
the Reparations Fixed by

Germany says she neither can nor
will pay the total Of reparations that
was fixed by the supreme council-54
billions in AZ years and a tax Of II
per cent on her exports during the
period. Eminent financial and eco
nomic experts of the allied countries
and America agree that Germany will
find it impossible to pay that sum and
survive. Nevertheless, it is probable
that the German representatives in
the forthcoming London conference
will sign the agreement laid before
them. and that the allies thereafter
will get from the defeated country as
great a proportion of the 81 billions
as they can, modifying the terms from
time to- time.
The official protest Of Germany was
voiced by DR.. Walter Slmons, the for
eign minister, and what he said was
cOncurred in by the reichstag parties
through their leaders, with the excep-
tion of the ultra radicals, who gloried
in the painful position of the govern
ment. Doctor Simons asserted that
the obligations thus imposed on the
Germans would mean the complete
economic enslavement of the people,
and particularly Of the workers. He
said the government would offer coun-
ter proposals at the London meeting.
Among the people Of France there
was satisfaction with the reparations
plan, especially because it was ex-
pected that the first effective pay
ments by Germany will make avail
able for negotiations or for use as Sc
curity the French share of the 60,000,-
100000 gold marks In bonds already
delivered by Germany to the repara-
tions commission. Great Britain has
agreed not to utilize her claim on Ger
many as basis for loans during the
next five years, and this gives France
the opportunity to make use not only
of her share Of the bonds but also her
part Of the II per cent tax on Ger
many's expectations, to raise money
TO continue the work Of reconstruc-
tion in northern France.
That tax on German exports is a
feature that may cause a lot of trou-
BILE. BY many it is held to be false
economics that will react to the in
jury OF other countries, and in Wash
ington there Is talk that our state de-
partment may feel called on to make
formal protest. Lloyd George says
the tax would be easy to collect, and
he defends the plan in its entirety.
If Germany should absolutely refuse
to 1t, he asserts, "there is nothing for
us to do but to apply the treaty lit
orally"

That opinion favoring German
claims in the matter may be based
on false premises is made clear by
the report Of the conference of finan-
cial experts held in Brussels, in which
Germany is shown just how to wipe
out the deficit of 76,OO0,0O0,OO0 marks
In her 1920 budget. The experts found
Germany was deliberately putting on
a poor face for the purpose Of show
ing the world her precarious financial
condition and her difficult situation.
Certain Of her expenses were multi
piled rs times over those of 1919, and
certain Of her taxes vastly below
those the people Of the. allied coun-
tries are paying. Furthermore, the
budgets of 1919 and 1920 carried a
number of credits which were only
partly disbursed, such as 16500,000,-
900 marks for the allied armies of oc-
cupation expenses, of which only A.
5000O0,000 marks was spent. The
budget for 1920 carried 42,00O,000,000

Gen. Charles G. Dawes Of Chicago,
former chief of supply procurement
for the American army in France,
made lively and interesting two ses-
siens Of the house war investigating
committee. Severely condemning
what he characterized as political at
tempts to discredit the people who
won the war, he defended the work of
his department and of the army in
general, and denied that there was
waste and extravaganza in the liqui-
dation of American accounts In France
and the sale of surplus stocks to the
French government. AS to the al
legged payment of excessive prices for
equipment and material, he said this
was necessary to get the job done
quickly and was justified by the fact
that the army did the job. General
Dawes did not mince his language,
and what he had to say of our "pink
tea" diplomats in Europe who delayed
matters with their red tape was tonic
in it's harshness. The discussion at
one time turned on Great Britain, and
the general shouted:
"T am no more ashamed to stand up
here for Great Britain than for the
United States. 1t seems to be fashion
able in American politics to attack

Disarmament, a small army and 9th
er forms of unpreparedness got some
hard knocks last week. In the first
place the senate naval affairs commit
tee put the snuffer on the Borah res
olution for a naval construction holi-
day, after. hearing Admiral Coontz,
chief Of naval operations, and Ad-
miral Taylor, chief constructor
of the navy. Both opposed the
plan for a cessation Of naval con-
struction for six months. They said
1t would cost as much to do this as to
continue to build, as contractors
would be able to collect large dam
age claims from the government.
Furthermore, they see no need for an
investigation as to what constitutes a
modern navy, being convinced by in
vestigations already made that the
capital ship is not obsolete and that
the present program Of the United
States is correct.
General Pershing appeared before
the house naval committee and gave
a warning against unpreparedness
and pacifism. He expressed approval
Of a world conference on disarma-
ment, but said the United States
should proceed with its present army
and navy programs until at least five
great powers have entered into a
definite agreement.
On the other hand, the house for
eign affairs committee reported IA
vorably a resolution authorizing the
President to invite the nations Of the
world to send delegates to a confer
ence to provide for disarmament.
In the house, the fight to prevent
reduction of the regular army below
175,0O0, was opened by Chairman
Kahn of the military affairs commit
tee. He said President-elect Harding
told him recently at Marion that he
favored an army Of 175,OO0 men, but
that he hoped some day 1t could be
cut down to 10000. Mr.. Kahn also
disclosed Mr.. Harding's belief that
congress should enact legislation pro-
viding voluntary military training for
10000 men annually.
Meanwhile economy Of the most
rigid sort is being forced on our reg
ular army by great deficiencies in
funds for the remainder of the fiscal
year. The shortage in the quarter
master corps alone is said to be $94,-
100000. In order to reduce the pro-
spective deficits to the lowest possi-
BILE minimum, the War department or
dered reduction of 40 to 60 per cent in
the number of civilian employees in
the army; reduction Of the consump-
tion Of gasoline and lubricants by so
per cent; allowance of clothing, equi-
page and supplies cut to the lowest pos
sible limit, repaired shoes and sal
vaged uniforms to be issued wher-
ever possible; substitution of canned
food for fresh wherever possible, and
expenses for transportation, commu-
nication and fuel cut to the bone.
Much Of the vocational training, upon
which the recruiting campaign was
based, must now be abandoned, as all
the teaching will have to be done by
army officers.

The fight over wages, between the
railway executives and the railroad
brotherhoods, is on before the railway
labor board, and accusations have
been flying thick and fast. The execu-
tives asked permission to abrogate the
national wage agreements entered into
during the war, which would mean the
lowering Of the present wage scale.
The brotherhood leaders Immediately
entered vigorous. protest, asserting
that the rail chiefs have conspired to
overthrow the railroad labor board
and to crush, once for all, the existing
labor organizations. They said they
could show that if the bankers who
are responsible for the fiscal needs of
the railroads since their return to pri-
vate ownership would perform their
duty, the roads could be adequately
financed and their solvency main
tanned.

statement of Grand President Cradle

President Wilson was appealed to
by both sides, but decided, it was said,
to take no hand in the fight.

GRANGER TO
 BE PRESENT
 AT CONCERT

Under the capable direction of Dr. Arthus Mees. the Bridgeport Oratorio Society is rounding out its tenth bril- liant season of highly successful en- deavor and will present its winter concert on Tuesday evening, Dec. b, at the High school auditorium
 The program that has been chosen Is highly picturesque and the most diversified of any yet rendered by this society. The work like last sea- sesses as it's outstanding feature Percy Grainger's famous compost tion, ''The Merry Wedding" a bridal dance for nine solo voices and chorus, adapted from famous Scandinavian folk poems. This specific portion Of the colorful program will be accom- panied by MT. Grainger, himself, pianist as well as composer, rank ing among the foremost of the coun- try,
 Other selections which will be rem
 dered are Becker'S Silent Night by
 chorus of mixed voices. and Peter
 Corneliuss' "Christmas Song," with
 contralto solo and mixed voices, an
 edght-part rendition arranged by
 Walter Danrosch. Also included in the program are Franz SchubeTts
 'HThe Lord Is My Shepherd" for women's voices; Rachmanioff's "Laud
 Ye the Name of the Lord,'' and also
 his anthem. "Glory Be to God" both to be sung by a chorus of mixed voices. Max Spieker's By Moonlight
 will be rendered by a chorus of mems l voices with tenor solo, and also his
 'I.ife's Sprtngtime.'' "On Himalay," :" by Granville Bantock from Shelly's l poem and London Town," by Ed ward Germa with words by Mansfield
 will be sung by mixed voice choruses. also Songs of Iove"-the Six Waltzes l by Johannes Brahms.
 l A comprehensive program of this sort is appealing to music lovers be- 1 cause 1t establishes the versatility of the chorus and provides music for all ] tastes. Contrary to previous seasons, the Oratorio includes no solo singers ] from out of the city, but it has pro- l vided the rarest of treats for its pat | rons by engaging the world-fam ous
 Italian violinist, Arrigo Serato, who will render several solos at the forth- l coming concert.
 l The society's chorus, this season | consists of 26o voices, which have | been highly trained by Dr. Mees, one of the foremost chorus conductors of America, and which as a whole and in its subdivisions for the smaller portion of the elaborate program planned, will be certain to conduct 1 itself in highly creditable manner. The Oratorio concert is usually the most noteworthy musical event of the season and the approaching one | promises to be no exception to this ] rule. The sale of tickets will be held | at Steinert's, beginning Thursday | Dec. l.
