COMMISSION LISTS
GERMAN PAYMENTS
Publish Figures Showing Rep
aratiOns Made to Allied
Forces.

BOSTON. Mass, Feb. 20.-Fig-
ures supplementing the list of deliv-
cries made by Germany TO the allies
in execution of the treaty of Yer
sailles, which was issued by the
reparations commission at Paris on
Jan. 22. have been compiled for i'm
mediate publication by the World
Peace foundation and were made
public here Sunday night. The ia
bles bring together official and semi
official statements, including those
Of Jan. % by the reparations COM
mission and other allied authorities,
and show what has been accom-
plished to date in obtaining payment
from Germany and effecting her dis
armament.
In presenting the figures the
foundation says:
There is no basis for computing
what percentage Of reparatlon is al
ready liquidated by Germany's de-
liveries TO that account because
there is no bill OF particulars giving
the amount of her liabilities
Sixty Billion Marks.
Germany" its statement contin-
ues, has remitted TO the repara
tions commission a total of 60 billion
marks gold bearer bonds, TO be can
celled in payments in goods and
gold. and there is no unnatural diff
ference between the parties as to
value Of the comm odities delivered
The German claim is that the sum
of 23.S90.O00.00O gold marks repre-
sents the payments already made;
the reparauOns commission is quot
ed, according to the officers, and he
exceed the real figures.
Some comparisons of debt and
payment are afforded. There has
been a delivery of 36O.176 beasts as
against a treaty demand of 37O.9OO
On the other hand. a delivery in one
year of 2,O54,729 tons Of shipping Is
compared with a total loss of S,5I7.-
515 tons by Great Britain alone"

DR.. M'QUARRY USES
'GOD'SPOWER AS
THEME OF SERMON
Pastor of the First Christian
Church Delivers Interest
ing Talk Sunday.

The Gospel-God's Power" was
the theme of the sermon preached
by Rev. r. L. AIcQuary at the First
Christian church on Sunday morn
ing. Mr. McQuary's main point was
that where Christianity is appreciat-
ed as Hfe-power in personal expe-
rience, rather than a mere scheme
or plan OF salvation. the gospel has
its perennial power yet today. He
said in part:
1T is common TO hear the present
time characterized as an age of un-
belief. We hear little Of the ranting
ridiculing of religion like that Of an
lngersoIl OF a generation ago. Athe-
lists do not buster. Lecturers do not
make capital out Of the mistakes of
Moses. The talk now is, Oh. re-
ligious faith was all very well for
our fathers, but we. with all our
scientific learning. have outgrown
THAT, you know The idea is that
the gospel may have been useful for
"a certain period of human develop
ment, but now it is outwOrn.
Pathetic Fear.
"A kind of pathetic fear is likely
TO creep into the heart of the Chris
tian himself. He allows himself TO
be made out as old-fashioned He
may fall into the fault himself of
thinking of the gospel as one would
admire some old garment. beautiful
in its day Of romance, but now out
Of style. They sing about the old
fashioned religion with "a pathetic
tone. Now nothing that is real ever
gets old-fashioned, and TO admit
that our religion is ld-fashioned is
TO say that it has lost its usefulness.
Paul speaks of the gospel as
Gods power-GOd's dynamite. The
New Testament sings OF the victory
Of faith that overcomes the world.
of the gospel which quickens those
who were dead i'm trespasses and
sins, OF Christ Jesus through whom
we are More than conquerors.
Does that sound very apologize ?
They would say that Christianity is
not old-fashioned, it is the most up
to-date thing in the world for them.
because it is a living power.
Let us take heart. Jesus Christ

FAMINE IN CHINA
GREATLY RELIEVED
Affected Districts are Assured
Against Starvation by
Grain Supplies.

BY Associated Press,
PEkING. Feb. 20.-Most of the
Chinese famine sufferers are assured
against starvation by the ample
stocks OF grain on hand at points
reached by railway. The entire dis
trict affected is now within reach
OF relief stations TO which grain is
being supplied as fast as IL can be
transported into the interior by cart
and man power. Notwithstanding
the widespread destitute area there
have been comparatively few deaths
from starvation. owing TO the meas
ures taken by relief workers.
The number OF persons affected
by the famine has been variously es-
,imated at from 100000 TO 2l.000.-
600. the latter being the number
given by The United International
com mittee.

IN MATEWAN CASE
Additional Indictments viii
be Sought by Prosecutor,

in progress here of 19 men accused
Of having had a hand in the Mate
wan st. battle last May. that resulted
in the death of Albert c. Felts. a
detective. and nine other persons,
have estimated that it will require
at least three weeks 10 close the
case. over four weeks have already
been consumed in selecting a jury
and in the examination of wit
nesses
This estimate was made public
when ii was announced Saturday
that the state does not hope to rest
its case within ten days, and by the
defense, that fully twenty witnesses
on it's side will have 10 be heard.
Interest Aroused.
Greater interest. however. has
been aroused here by an intimation
emanating from the district attor-
neys office that little prospect of
a conviction of all the defendants
is entertained, and that the request
for early additional indictments Of
persons so far not connected with
the case is being considered by the
prosecutor.
No official statement definitely
presaging these moves by the COM
monwealth has so far been given
out. but persons closely interested
in the progress Of events claim TO
see much signifancec in the reports
which are not officially denied.
First Developments.
Fresh developments in the pro-
ceedings were supplied by the ar
rival in Williamson Of five Bald
win-Felts operatives. who. it was
announced, intended 10 testify.
These five detectives are among
those who made their escape from
Matewan at the time Of the battle.

TOXIC, Feb. 20. - A statement
issued here Sunday declares that the
recent intrigue" in the court has
ended with an official confirmation
Of the engagement of Crown Prince
HirohitO and the Princess Nagako.
The statement denies that the ques-
ton at issue was connected with
jealousies between the clans and
says it merely concerned blood and
inheritance. The statement follows:
Reliable circles consider the
court affair definitely closed with
the official confirmation of The be
trothal of the crown prince. The
affair was restricted TO matters
touching on the question Of blood
and inheritance of the dynasty
which vitaHy concern the japanese
people

Although it is true politicians and

and government circles wish to. say
that such a contention is ground
less.
Agitation for the postponement of

sion Of danger TO him abroad by
