ALLIED VIEWS TOU. S.

Washington, April 2S.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press.)-Diplomati repre-
sentatives of three of the Allied pow
ers-Great Britain, France and Bel
gium-transmitted today to Secretary
Hughes the views Of their govern
ments with respect to Germany's re-
parations proposals.
Official announcement was with
held, but it was understood that the
Secretary of State was informed that
the German offer in it's present form
was unacceptable. Whether any sug-
gestions were made that Germany
be asked to put forward new and
more liberal terms was not disclosed.
1t was emphasized officially, how
ever, that the chief question at issue
was not whether the proposals as
such were acceptable to the allied
governments, but whether they could
be regarded as the basis for renewed
discussions from which satisfactory
terms might eventuate.
Administration officers still main
tanned silence as to the form of re-
ply that would be made to the Ger
man communication. but it was
learned that none had been prepared
tonight. Secretary Hughes had not
yet heard from the Italian and Jap
anese governments, whose ENJOYS he
received on Tuesday after the Ger
man proposals had reached Washing
ton. Whether a reply will be delayed
until word comes from Rome and
TOXIC remains to be developed.
Since the German offer is to be
considered at the meeting of the al
lied supreme council on Sunday, there
were suggestions in some quarters
that the American reply might be
held up pending some further deci-
sion by the premiers. While admit

cred to Mr.. Hughes today had been
of such a nature as to enable the
American government to proceed
with the next step in the exchanges
with Berlin.
Statements today by Premiers

BRAND of France that the German
offer was unacceptable, were received
by officials here with manifest inter

PLAN ID RECLAIM
 CAMPAGNA ROMANA
Tract Has Lain Idle for Gen. turies-0nce Paradise of
 Villas and Gardens
By Asrociated Press

Osaas Italy, January 8.-Efforts are being made to reclaim and plant parts of the vast tract of land which stretches for several miles around Rome and goes by the name of the "Campagna Ro- mana. It has been allowed to remain idle and uncultvated ever since the fall of the Roman empire.
 Before that time 1t was sort of ter restrial paradise; villas and gardens were dotted all over 1t as far as the eye could see. it was luxuriant with fruits and flowers, it supplied food and work for thousands upon thousands of men, was one of the most beautiful and intensiyely cultivated spots in the world. When Rome however, was ob- liged to resign her position as "the mistress of the world" the "campagna" was abandoned and gradually became a marshy. malaria-infected desert, inhab- ited only by few hardy shepherds.
 Now, however, the law which was re- gently passed, decreeing that anyone who does not cultivate his land to the ut most of it's capacity is liable to have the land confiscated is beginning to have its effects. Prince Aldobrandini has en- gagged a company to reclaim huge es tate of several thousands of acres, whic 5 he ownss in the 'campagna."
 The work has already begun and an experimental station has been set up at Ostia. The land was first of all drained and then arrangements were made to obtain water from the Tibeg for irrigation. Electric tractors to draw the ploughs were then bought and va rious, kinds of fruits, vegetables and ce- reals cultivated in order to find out how fertile the land is and what kind of crop it is most adapted for.
 The results were beyond the widest hopes of any of the promoters of the company. The land, after lying idle for centuries, seems to have stored up it's fertility throughout all that time anG now yields crop upon crop with un- stinting hand. An attempt has even been made to grow cotton here and tn

CURFEW LAW HITS
 DUBLIN HARD BLOW
Irish Capital, With Midnight h. cIinations, Becomes Literal
 "Ten O'Clock Town"
By Associated Press

Dublin, January s.-The 10 o'clock curfew lately put into effect dealt Dublin a hard blow. The city had night closing hour previously In force, but the 10 o'clock embargo on all ac- tivity meant the complete abandon- ment of all social functions in the all the trade serving such events.
 The great stores are almost idle and the managers of some of the most popular of them, say that they are operating at a loss. There is no Ge- mand for new dresses The theatres are suffering most. At one house the first night after curfew, there were only eleven people in the auditori I'm. The moving picture houses are doing better, but they all have to close at 9 to enable their patrons to get home before the curfew hour The music halls which used to open to two houses a night have now only one. As they were always full for each performance this means cutting off half their in- come.
 The tramway company's cars are now nearly empty in the evenings. They lately raised the fares by par liamentary authority to enable thcm to meet increased expenses, but the drop due to the curfew has more than wiped out the additional receipts. The fsgu- lation is declared to be imposed in the interest of the public to induce hem to avoid the risks of being abroad aft> CT dark. In the present conditions, even if there were no curfew,, many people would be too timid to leave home in the evenings. Auf
 Still there is much criticism of The imposition of a curfew at 10 o'clock at night, provoked by assassinations which took place at g o'clock in the morning.

G0vERNoRSHIP RACE MAY Be
LARGELY BATTLE OF SANTA f.
For BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES
Holloman and Sargent Contest May Bring
Out Former Lieutenant Governor B. F.
Pankey AS Republican Candidate; Selig-
man May Be Forced to Carry Democratic
Standard. -s--

there was possibility that he
might be named. Holloman, how
ever, was Larrazolo's floor mana
ger in the convention.
There Is every reason to believe
that Pankey would accept the nonl-
ination and that he may be an
open candidate sf1ouid either Sar-
gent or Holloman or both quit the
race. If both stay in, he may seek
the congressional nomination, but
1T is probable that he would prefer
the nomination for governor.
Should Senator A. A. Jones be
renominated for senator by the
democrats and Judge Stephen II.
Davis, Jr., be placed against him at
the polls, Holloman might be the
republican nominee for the SUI
preme bench. He has been an able
district Judge; even his foes admit
that.
To make the Santa Fe situation
more interesting. there is the pos
sibility that Arthur Seligman might
be induced to accept the democratic
nomination next year. Seligman
has had much experience in man.
aging campaigns. Should he be a
candidate he would know exactly
where to devote his energies to
make them produce a maximum
return.
So far there is no announced
candidate in the democratic ranks
for any of the top places on the
ticket.

Santa Fe county may furnish an
interesting political battle all of its
own as a preliminary to the state
campaign next fall Two Santa Fe
candidates already have their hats
in the ring for the governorship
and third man is being groomed
for the republican nomination. Be-
tween the three, the political pot
is likely TO be boiling in Santa Fe
county all spring and summer
right IN to the time Of a county
convention.
Judge Reed Holloman's hat was
hurled into the ring by his politi-
cal friends and the judge has not
Withdrawn it. He has made a good
record as district judge and has
been active in the politics of the
county for a long period.
Against him. William G.. Sargent
has entered the lists. Mr.. Sargent
served several terms as state audi
tor and has many political friends.
His brother, Edward Sargent. Is a
power in Rio Arrba republican
circles and his Influence reaches
out into Taos and other counties
of the state.
With these two men in the field
there is little possibility that the
county would go into the state con-
vention with a united front. Hol-
loman has his friends in Mckinley
and San Juan counties. He is well
known In Quay county. With no
combinations against him he might
go a long distance in a state con-
vention.
Should both men stay in the ring
until late summer 1t is probable
that the withdrawal of either would
mean the entrance into the politi-
cal arena of another "favorite
son" from Santa Fe county in the
person of Benjamin f. Pankey, for
merly lieutenant governor and the
largest individual taxpayer in
Santa Fe county.
Governor Pankey has many ele-
ments of strength. He served seven
months in all for Governor LARA
zolo while the latter was working
for the cession of public lands and
the like. He is q cattleman and Is
expected to secure many of their
votes should he be a candidate. He
had clean record as a senator and
lieutenant governor. He is wealthy
and fully able TO give UP his time
to the affairs of state.
What may help him most Is the
way he kept his promise to LARA
zolo in 1920. He had promised
Larrazolo he would not be can
didate for governor. He was never
released from that promise and
refused to allow his name to go be-
fore the convention. even though.

Of Ne VI TREATY

This Won't Be Permitted

tBy The Associated Prsss.)

Washington, Dec. 20 (by the AS
sociated Press)-A difference in
view as to the application Of the
new four power Pacific treaty has
arisen between President Harding
and the American arms delegates,
but the president announced in q
statement tonight that 1t would not
be permitted to embarrass the work
of the conference.
In the presidents personal opin-
ion, as outlined today to newspaper
men, the principal islands of the
japanese empire are not to be re-
garded as included among insular
territories to which the treaty app
plies.
The American delegation, on the
other hand, agreed with the repre-
.sentatives of the other powers be-
fore the treaty was signed that the
principal Japanese group were TO
be covered under the agreement
along with all the other Pacific is
lands under the sovereignty OF the
United States, Great Britain, France
and Japan.
In his statement, issued after a
two-hour conference with Senators
Lodge and Underwood of the
American delegation, the president
said he had mo objection" to the
Interpretation agreed by this gov
ernment's plenipotentiaries but as
sumed that the spirit of the con-
ference contemplated respect for
territory in every way that would
promote peace.
The presidents original an
nouncement of his views created a
stir among all delegates and al
though none was willing openly TO
take issue with him, there were in
.timations that such an interpreta-
tion of the treaty was certain to be
challenged, eventually from several
quarters, His later statement gem
.erally was accepted by the foreign
representatives as having deter
mined the attitude of the American
government. II follows:
