TEN DAYS RESPITE
GRANTED GERMANY
BRITISH AND FRENCH COMPRn
MISE CONFLICTING VIEWS
ON PREPARATIONS.
BELGIANS AVERT A Split
Allies viii ltemize Their Demand
While France Prepares 70 Ad.
vance and Occupy the
Ruhr District. ..

London.-The British and French
government have reached an agree.
ment on how to deal with Germany
to compel payment of reparations I'm.
dert exact, immediate guaIautecS In
broad outline, it is agreed that the al.
lies will make declaration soon, bat
not to Germany.
They will announce that the Repa.
rations Commission will notify Ger.
many as to the amount She i, reQuir.
ed to pay, and how it is to be paid,
together with the proposed financial
controls. The allies then will an.
nounce that within 10 days, this pc.
Rod being subject to possible modii.
cation by the Supreme Council, they
will proceed to carry uto the penalties
if the terms are not aCCeeded to.
The plan provides for a comprehen.
sive scheme of supervision and con.
troll of Germany's sources of revenue.
1t is not yet completed, but while the
experts are working on it France will
proceed with all her military prepare.
lions for the occupation Of the Ruhr.
The French government will order
the mobilization of one additional
class for The occupation OF the Ruhr.
This is the general result of an agi.
tated day Of conversations and cob.
ferences that seemed likely to end IN
sharp disagreement among the allies.
The agreement was brought about by
the Intervention Of the Belgian for.
eign minister, NJ. Jasper, at a meet.
ing of the Supreme Council. The
whole subject will come up for discus.
sion again at another meeting Of tho
council later.
Both sides feel that they have meas.
ureably succeeded in having their pol
icies accepted.
The French premier asked for Brit
ish naval cooperation, suggesting the
blockade of Hamburg. The British
prime minister replied that American
public opinion would no approve Of
such a course, and he could not agree
to a blockade, which would bring the
allies into controversy with the
United States.
NJ. BRAND agreed to this point Of
view. He added that the course OF
the United States has been absolutely
correct.
Uneasiness still exists among the
French delegates over the possibility
that Washington may endeavOr to
mediate; they declare this would not
be acceptable to them.

teen Million Passed.

Baton Rouge, La. A determined
stand by L. p. Lee Of Mansfield ant
Wilson T. Peterman Of Franklin
chairman Of the committee on mum
cipai and parochial corporations Of
the Constitutional Convention, recent
ly forced the decision as to whether
the Public Belt railroad may issues
$5,O0O,000 Of bonds for the extension
OF its lines, to be left to the ballot OF
the electorate Of New Orleans in No
vember, 1922.
The ordinance providing for the
bond issue gives the city the right to
levy tax to refund them in the event
the revenues from the railroad are
insufficient. Messrs. Lee and Peter,
man took the stand that no tax or
probability Of a tax should be inn
posed upon the people without their
consent and that sinking fund
should be created to pay off the debt.
They had a majority of the committee
with them and members Of the Belt
Commission finally accepted all that
was left open to them.
The Belt Commission was frank In
giving its reason for not desiring the
subject Of bond issue to be sub.
mitted to a referendum. While the
possibilities are remote Of a tax ever
being levied to pay off the bonds, as
the ordinance provides that they are
to be paid off out Of the revenues Of
the railroads, the commissioners were
fearful that the public's natural anti.
pathy to taxes might serve for its de-
feat at the polls.
The committee gave favorable re.
port to another ordinance providing
for the issuance of $l5,OO0,O0O OF
bonds for the building Of a bridge
over the Mississippi River by the Pub
lie Belt railroad. This ordinance spe'
officially states that they are to be paid
out of the revenues Of the bridge after
dts construction and IS minus Of any
tax feature.
Two Public Belt ordinances were
introduced. One by Ivy G. Kittredge
provided for the incorporation in the
new constitution Of the present laws
creating the Belt Commission, includ'
ing a few changes, among them the
100000 bond issue. The other one
was introduced by Bernard ]. Daily OF
New Orleans and permitted Of car
rygin on Of the bridge project.
Both ordinances were referred to a
subcommittee Of the committee on
municipal and paroachlal corporations
composed Of Charles Rosen, Former
Mayor Behrman and Mr.. Lee. 1t re.
ported back a substitute ordinance for
each Of them, and these were brought
up for action. The two substitutes
were prepared by the Belt Railroad
Commission with the consent Of the
introducers, and the subcommittee
was unanimous in a favorable report
for the bridge ordinance.
On the other substitute, however,
Mr. Lee and Mr.. Rosen reported they
could not give a favorable report be.
cause Of 1t giving the right to levy a
tax In the event the railroads reve-
nue. proved insufficient to pay off the
$5,0O0,OOO bond. Mr.. Behrman favor.

plenty of light, pure air and sunshine,
and protect them from dampness and
storms of all kinds.
Chicks should never be crowded in
brood cOOps, for crowding will cause
them to become overheated resulting
in improper growth and sometimes in
dead chicks.
Sickness or disease usually starts
in unclean quarters, and in such
places lice and mites are always more
plentiful, the bulletin says. The coops
should be cleaned and sprayed once a
week, and clean shavihgs, chaff, or
sand put on the floor. Examine the
chicks and houses often for lice and
mites, and if found they should be
gotten rid Of at once. Farmers Bull
letin ITO gives directions for fighting
lice and mites.
Feed Right for Rapid Growth.
The three kinds Of feeds most nee
essary for rapid growth are grain
feed, green feed and dry mash. A
grain mixture should be fed night and
morning giving as large quantity as
the chicks will eat clean, but no more.
A good mixture for growing chicks
consists Of three parts cracked corn,
two parts wheat and two parts hulled
oats. Katir corn or rolled or hulled
barley may be substituted for hulled
oats. A supply Of fresh green feed is
almost as necessary as grain for grow
ing chicks. They obtain plenty of it
If they have free range, but if kept in
confinement, lawn grass, beet tops,
cabbage, lettuce or other such green
feed should be supplied regularly.
Grit and oyster shells should be pro-
vided so the chicks may help them
selves whenever they wish. When sour
milk can be obtained, it should also
be kept before the chicks, as no feed
is regarded better for them. When
this is given the amount of beef scrap
in the dry mash may be reduced one
half. Plenty Of fresh, clean water is
absolutely necessary, and in hot
weather It should be provided twice
daily in dishes that have been thor.
oughly cleaned.
The bulletin emphasizes the impor.
lance of free range and shade for
growing chicks. They are necessary
If chicks are to grow rapidly and de.
velop into vigorous fowls. When
growing chicks have free range thew
obtain quantities Of green feed, bugs,
worms and other things, therefore
they require less grain and are less
liable to sickness and disease.
