Paris. Jan. 2S.-Progress toward
reaching a solution of the German re-
paraticn problem was reported by the
expert committee appointed yesterday
by the supreme council. The basis of
discussion was the Belgian proposal
hat Germany be compelled to make
annual reparation by the payment of
six billion gold marks as a maximum,
and three billions as minimum. The
plan would not fix the number of an
nual payments. but would leave this
to be determined later.
A supreme council session was
called for today when it was hoped
the expert committee will be able to
present a complete report.
Proceedings of the council are at a
virtual deadlock owing to the dis
agreement between the British and
French delegates on the method of
handling the German question.

Meeting Called to Consider the Re-
port of Committee of Experts
This Afternoon Called OFF and
Fears are Expressed That Disa-
greement of Delegates Will
Break Up the Council.
(By Associated Press,)

Paris, Jan. %. 8.-Divergencies OF
views of the members of the allied
supreme council regarding German
reparations caused an interruption o.
the conference today, and in some
quarters the council was regarded as
in danger of breaking up.
j; The crisis came over the question
of fixing the total amount of repara
tions and the method of payment.
The session of the council which was
to have begun this afternoon was
abandoned.
Hopes of a settlement were held
out earlier in the day by the report
of the committee of experts appointed
yesterday that progress had been
made in the preparation of plan
proposed by the Belgian delegates.
This plan provided that Germany
should pay a maximum of six billion
marks year, or a minimum of three
billions, the number of annual pay
ments being left open for future de-
termination
1t was expected that the meeting
of the council scheduled for late this
afternoon would be able to take the
question up on the basis of this re-
port and arrive at conclusion.

A Wisconsin farmer. who had a

well to find some means OF keeping

At little cost and with small labor
he built wooden stalls to which the

into a wooden frame, form separate
