TWO BIG ACTS STAGED

Members of the New York Univer-

fraternity had considerable fun yes
terday afternoon In their chapter
house in Borough Park. Brooklyn,
initiating into the mysteries of the or
der four university students who later
told the police that they were Harry

Ralph Schapiro, IT. 1919 Twentieth
avenue. and Herman Matter, 16. 2S7O
West Twentieth street, all of Brook
lyn. But after they had prodded and
padded the boys for more than an
hour they wearied Of the sport: their
arms became tired and they decided
to show the general public what they
had added to their collection Of mem
bership.
So they aressed StoE in u costume
that made him O carlcature OF Daniel
Webster, they made Rip Van Wrinkle
Of Schapiro and they transformed Matter
into a most amazing vampire Then
they piled the four boys into a taxicab
and set forth for Manhattan. Their
first stop was at Fifth avenue and
Forty-second street. There they dumped
Stoll, Matter. LANCER and Schapiro and
forced them into the Public Library.
The invaders were promptly seized by
caretakers and special policemen and

PEELED their captives to go through vari-
GUS antics on the library steps. to the
edification and amusement of large
crowd
This crowd was soon increased by a
recital audience which left Aeolian Hall
shortly after Ave o'clock. II became
so large and noisy and caused so much
trouble with the trafffc that several traf-
hc policemen left their posts and tried
earnestly to catch the dozen or more
students, particularly the four in cos
tunes. But the initiators hustled their
captives into taxicab before the police
could catch them and started up the
avenue with them.
At Firty-ninth street and Fifth ave-
nue. the taxicab stopped. and the stu
dents prodded their captives into more
publicity. This time the four boys were
compelled to make loud speeches, the
result being that in fifteen minutes
more than 1000 persons milled and
pushed In an effort to find out what was
going on and who was being murdered.
Traffic was disorganized and finally
stopped completely. several women's
hats were torn Off in the jam. two or
three lights started, and a strenuous
time was being had by all when Patrol
man George Van Etten and Sergeant
Eugene Barry came along In one OF the
Police Department motorcycle bath
tubs"
The boys tried to get away when they
saw the policemen. but for once the
crowd was with the police and opened
path. Van Etten drove the "bathtup'
up to the taxicab from which the boys
were Grating and invited them to come
with him. He placed Stoll. Matter, Lam
ger and Schapiro under arrest squeezed
all Of them into the motorcycle sidecar
and took them TO the West Forty-sev-
enth street station.
Later the four boys we're taken 70

Schwab reprlmanded them and sent them
home under a suspended sentence.

Berlin, Feb. 20.
Germany's industrial recuperation
already has been heralded as possi-
bly, the greatest phenomenon in ma
tional recovery in human history.
Confidential reports and even the re-
suits of so-called expert investigation
are being published to prove the exist
ence Of nothing less than an astound-
ing German conspiracy to delude the
nations with an artificial catastrophe
behind whose specious ruins sixty
million sturdy people are waiting,
once reparations have been. evaded,
to resume their leadership In the in
dustrial world. The thesis suits the
tradition that the Germans are a
united race. dominated by triumph
ant will and capable of nearly
magic cooperation.
The thesis would be more convinc-
ing were the facts usually marshalled
to support it more wisely selected.
But very often they are mere super
fetal embellishments. The dividends
declared by German corporations are
filed into impressive columns; the in
crease in quotations of German indus
trial shares is demonstrated in tables !;
il is cited that in this and that mar
ket the German exporter Is underbid-
ding all competition; reference Is
made 10 the sensational spendthrift
life in Berlin.
The design of this series OF articles,
in so far as they discuss industrial
conditions in Germany, is not TO belle
such facts or to come TO precise con-
clusions but to call attention TO more
fundamental considerations.
Economics knows no miracles; the
science Gin 50 far as the study is
scientific) consists in observation and
explanation of how the business Of
the world gets transacted. Its oh
servations and explanations are not
subject TO mystical refutation. No
country can have recovered health
when II IL not well. Economic health
is a product Of quite usual factors,
such as raw materials. power, lnbor'
transportation, markets, balance Of
trade.

Raw Materials Mig Factor.

II a country has not sufficient raw
materials, power or labor IL cannot
be deemed in good economic health
unless Il has wealth available to pur-
chase them. The question with Ger
many IS not how a 20 per cent. divi-
dend could be declared by an iron
foundry. or by every iron foundry;
the dividend itself does not neces-
sarily prove something. More impor-
tant questions are what raw ma
terials Germany possesses. what
power Is at hand to convert this raw
material into marketable wares. what
labor Is available 10 perform the SCR
vice, what markets for the absorp-
tion Of its products, what rcalizable
wealth to pay for purchases abroad.

London, March 9.
AT midnight tonight the Allies had
reached an agreement on the repara-
tions plan to which it seems most
morrow The plan provides for thirty
annual payments from Germany OF
5000. .000, 900 gold marks each, plus the
collection by the Allies exchequers to
be applied to the reparations account
OF 80 per cent. OF the value of the Ger
man goods sold in allied countries.
1t was estimated that the drawback
on the value of Ger1nany's exports to
5000, 900 900 marks after the first five
years.
The difference between the amount
Of repa rations fixed In the Paris nc
cord and by the plan OF tonight would
be determined by the reparations
commission, which would make up the
total of the Paris agreement after
fixing the total damages. In its re-
suits the plan is expected to be
equivalent to the terms OF the Paris
accord.
This agreement among the Allies
was reached through a week end Of
course of which Premier BRAND and
Louis Loucher, Minister of the re-
claimed regions. finally were induced
to talk informally with DR.. Walter
Slmons, German Minister OF Foreign
Affairs and head of the German dele

The latest offer of the German Min

the Allies was called in Downing

adopted.
premier Lloyd George insisted that
unless a settlement was reached this
week along some lines such as this the
Allies would leave the conference with
the Ill will OF the entire neutral world.
including the United States. and this
argument finally effected a change of
front by Premier BRAND and NJ.
Loucher.
The plan from all accounts is still
subject to ratification and acceptance
by the Germans. but even In French
quarters there Is a feeling that this is
assured. Also. Premier Brands enc
