AMOUNT GERMANY
WILL HAVE TO PAY
Allies Agree on Bill to Pre-
sent Germany for Attack
On World.

| Paris.-The session of the commit
tee of experts of the allied supreme
council ended at 1890 o'clock Satur-
day morning, after having reached a
complete agreement on the system OIL
annual payments of reparations by
Germany and annuities on Germany
foreign trade.
The project in its final form, when
approved by the supreme council, will
be submitted to Germany FOR accept
ance as an agreement outside OF
article 1913 of the peace treaty, which
entrusts the PREPARATIONS committee
with the, task of fixing the amount
of the indemnity Then another con-
ference will be called to which the
Germans will be invited.
The proposed scheme provides for
the payment of annuities of a sliding
scale from 2,0OO,O 10000 to 6,000,OOO,-
600 gold marks over period OF PROB
ably AZ wears, and also 1212 per cent
ad valorem tax on German exports,
so that her creditors will be paid &C
cording to Germany's increasing pros
perity.
The supreme councils experts ten
tative agreement on the subject OF
German Preparations, reached Friday
provides:
Germany will be required to pay
S486. 00O,00 annually for certain Pc
riod then $972,000,000 annually over
another designated period; then ST.
45S.OO0,OO0 annually over third pc
Rod The entire time for these pay
ments will approximate AZ years, as
the Boulogne agreement provided.
In addition to the annuities the al
lies will collect 121a per cent OF the
value of all German exports during the
full period.
Thus the French demand to share
in any increased prosperity in Ger
many as reflected by the nations ex-
ports was realized and the French OBJ
jections against naming fixed grand
total to be collected were met.
Although it was not officially stated,
it is believed that Germany will be
required to pay $4S6, 100000 annually
for five years, $972,OOO,OOO for five
years and $1,45S,O0O,OOO annually for
80 years.
This gives a grand total of German
reparation over a period of AZ years of
$53,946 100000 or 269, 73O,OOO,OO0
francs, exclusive of the 1212 per cent
export percentage the allies will col
lect.

The lpgest machinery exhibit in the world will be housed in New York City. The building, which will also hold various other exhibits, contains more than 660,oOO square feet of space.
 Machinery ranging from delicate instruments, which record the thou Sandth of a, degree change in heat and which measure the varying weights of small sheets of paper to heavy shears that cut steel bars X 6 inches in thickness, and ten-ton caterpillar tractors will be on display under one roof
 Great cranes, strong enough to move a fair sized mountain, will be a feature of this all American exhi- bition which will rival in size the famous exhibits of the Crystal Palace in Paris of three decades ago.
 Some idea of the size of the Central Mercantile Building at Sixth avenue, running from 18th to 18th streets, can be gathered from the fact that it would easily park fourteen Flairon buildings The building is large enough to accom- odate many exhib- it's Already within it's walls are exhibits of milk pastuerizing and ice cream machinery and large display of oil and gas engines. The floor area is 160,00 square feet longer than the Woolworth building.
 The tallest building in the world, EiffeI Tower in Paris, has a floor space of 38,000 square feet, less than one-half the area of a single floor in this structure.

 There would be little overhead expense connected with the expedition. The Government should give ade- quate attention to the problem of it's women.
 England must never forget what Sufficient thought should be given to these superf1uous women.
 ''Woman's value is realized now as never before. If country denies it's women today it runs the risk of being ungrateful."
 Miss ScheiderInann's Question
 But what Miss Rose Scheidermann, League, wantsato know is:
 'fWhy does England .differentiate women from men? Why ask what to do with two million women any more than what to do with two mil lion extra men? Would a country worry about its extra men? No, Then why worry about the women Let the thing adjust itself"
 A hard situation, nevertheless, hard for the women themselves Every woman likes to believe that home, husband and children will be her lot some time in life and likewise that should she elect to live a life other than the domestic one she "could have married if she wanted to-
 Between the woman who must be single and the one who chooses to be single there is a world of differ ence.
 Obviously this great number of women must be single not from choice, but from necessity, since poly gamy is habit not in good standing in civilized countries today.

 This is the belief expressed by Col win B. Brown, Washington, head of the Department of Organization. United States Chamber of Commerce, in an address to a local audience.
 'If the selling price sinks below the cost of production no power on earth can hold it there, and after this period of reconstruction Is passed we will go back on a sound basis, for the world needs our goods" said MT. Brown.
 Mot a section of the country Is selling up to it's ability to produce" he declared, stating that there is no oyerproduction now because there is insufficient food to feed the world un- til the next harvest, nor enough cloth ing to garb the world properly Asserting that this nation is in a po- sftion such as no other country ever has enjoyed for re-establishing the worlds credit, he advocated extension of credit to European countries
