Paris, Jan. Both. Agreement on re-
paratlons, German disarmament and all
other important questions before it was
reached by the Supreme Council of the
Allies when it adjourned at 5. 40 yester-
day, to meet in London on February
21st. The greatest result obtained, as
VI. BRAND, thesFrench Premier, expressed
i, after the closing Of the session, was
maintenance by the Allies of the
front as united in making peace as it
was in waging war" Count Sforza,
Italian Foreign Minister, and NJ. BRAND
said the conference had resulted to the
satisfaction of everybody concerned.
Il protocol was signed approving the
reparations scheme as agreed by the
Special Committee appointed by the
Council to consider the subject and also
the report on the disarmament of Ger
many as represented ny Lille MILITARY
committee. Under these arrangement
Germany must disarm by July LIST, dis
banding all her civic guards not pro-
vided for in the Versailles Treaty.
Germany will be called upon to pay in
a annuities, on a sliding scale, 226,
600, 900, 900. gold marks. Her exports
in addition will bear an export duty of
12M that will go to the Allies. On the
basis of last years exports this would
give the Allies 1,250, 900, 600 marks or
1870 of whatever money in which the
exports are paid for. Thus it is esti-
mated the first payment by Germany
will be $3.50, 600. 900 marks, the ex-
port tax being paid entirely in cash.
it is pointed cut that besides being
a sure method Of collection of the
Preparations, it will act as a protec-
tive tariff, in countries, neighbours OF
Germany, which are likely to be flooded
with goods made in Germany at a very
low cost Of production. because OF
the relatively low value Of the mark and
which consequently cannot be offered
in foreign markets at very low prices in
foreign money. The penalties agreed
upon by the council for violation by Ger
many w~ilIaapply 4to all the agreements
alike, reparations, disarmament and
coal deliveries. A strong feature of the
reparations plan from the French point
of view, is that it associates the Allies
in the benefits of Germany's prosperity.

The Council adopted the following reso-

solved to allow nothing to impair it.
They consider union as the surest guar

execution to the treaties and fidelity to

arated, M. BRAND and Mr.. Lloyd George
thanked them for their cooperation. We
have succeeded by goodwill and conces-
sions, NJ. BRAND said, in a%ttributing a
great part of the success to such spirit.
Mr.. Lloyd George said that the work

Rome, Jany. 18th. The Pope on the
occa ion Of the seventh centenary of
the foundation of the third order of st.
Francis of Assist, addressed an encycIical
yesterday to all Archbishops throughout
the world, which calls on all mankind
to work for world peace and christian
reconciliation, invoking especially the
assistance of all children of civilian peace
and those belonging to the third order.
True peace, says the ~encyclical, is i'm
possible, unless it is based on the tran
guilty OF the soul. Therefore, christian
virtue is necessary. Tertiarie8 must
effuse christian spirit and oppose the
two worst temporary evils. namely the
inevitable avidity to possess worldly
goods and the ~unquenchable thirst for
pleasure. These evils show themselves
in perpetual contest between the pro-
letariat and the rich, as we'll as in. i'm
modesty of women dress and modern
dancing. Let men follow ST. Francis
of Assist. whose constant desire to make
himself Christlike in poverty, humility
and self-sacrifice. Let women be con-
vinced that they cannot better acquire
merit towards the church and the moth
err country, than by working for the
correction OF corrupt custom

I.awlcSSncSS and Fines

90 much loose talk OF unrcstraincd law
lcSSness in Virginia has been heard in
this campaign for the gubcrna torial nom-
nation. Senator Trinklc. in recent add
dresses, has been quoted as referring to the
open defiance in every part OF the State,
from which, if his statement be accepted
it can only be inferred that the regularly
constituted law enforcement officers are de-
lbcratcy lax in the discharge of their
duties. 1t is an inference that is not justi-
fed. More than that. il is defamatory OF
Virginia. II is true. of course that cond-
tons forced upon this State, i'm common
with every other State, have not been adc-
,Quatcly mot 1t is impossible that they
should have been Immediately met in the
face of much hostile public sentiment How
ever, it should be enlightcning to glance at
the figures. which in n measure toll of how
the laws have been enforced during the last
four years III so far as their violations find
expression in fines and compare them with
the figures for the eight years Immediately
preceding.
In the years 1918, 1919. 1920 and 1927
a total Of $1,000. l27.5S has been collected
in fines which find their way to the State.
During the years 1914, 1915, 1916 and 1917
total OF $5l0,S43S5 was collected In
the years 1910, 1911, 1912 and 1913 the
collections amounted To only $i07,57S.90.
IN other words, fines collected to date under
The present administration total more than
twice much as those collected under the
combined administrations of Governors
Stuart and Mann. II should be emphasized
that the increase in the total is largely due
to liquor law violations, the result OF pro-
hibition. but the figures should silence the
unwarrantcd charges that Virginia is not a
lawabiding State and that its law enforce
mcnt officers do not do their duty.
