CURIOUS FOCUSING OF SOUNDS
But the Explanation of Existence OF
Whispering Galleries" Is in the
Main Simple.

The curious focusing of sounds in
whispering galleries, such as the
domps of st. Paul's cathedral and-the
capitol at Washington, is phenome-
non of much interest and impressive
ness. The late Lord Rayleigh obtained
evidence that the sound waves fol-
lowed the cOncave surface To, the point
of increased audibiIity, and when a
source of directed sound sent off its
waves tangentially, the greatest con-
centration was observed. A blrd-cah
being used. n small obstacle near the
curved wall cut off most Of the effect
upon Il sensitive flame.
In new experiments reported to the
ROYAL society by G. V, Roman and G.
A. Sutherland, a ray of light was
guided by flexible mirror and the
reflection showed alternate bands OF
light and darkness. In observations
with a steady source of sound at one
nojnt in the dome of st. PaulS, it was
found that similar alterations of
sound and comparative silence were
+ produced Mt intervals of about wave
length of the sound as the ear was
moved away Very pronounced tluctu'
ntions of intensity were also noted
when the Observers head was moved
parallel to the curved wall. instead OF
radiaIly. the effect being most marked
at the side of the gallery opposite the
source of sound. TIE sensitive flame
RESPONDED to fluctuations.

million marks during the last ten days
OF June. From this only $4,000, 900
marks have been used to buy foreign
currency for the purpose of meeting
treaty Obligations Therefore. how
can it be pretended that the stopping
or the reparation payments will ball
ance the German budget? German
finances need to be put on sound
basis methodically, and a foreign loan
is infinitely more important than a
moratorium. England will encourage
the people who are lowering the mark
II she votes for a moratorium with
out provision for the cleaning up of
German finances by means of loan"
Briefly summed up, the German note
says that despite all difficulty the Ber-
I'm government has met all its obliga-
tions to date and all the provisions of
the l922 revised schedule of repara-
tlons. In the mean time, however, it is
declared, the rates of exchange have
altered to the detriment of Germany,
causing great embarrassment and dis
astrous effects when the government
was forced to go into the open market
and buy foreign currencies with which
to meet the gold payments to the
Allies.
Had to Keep on Buying Marks
The note points out that whereas in
May, 1921, sixty German paper marks
were valued at 81, it required 285 in
March, 1922, to meet the same pay
ments. Under these circumstance the
government was further obliged to
purchase foreign currencies continu-
ally while the mark was falling, and
every succeeding purchase would mean
further decline until point of COM
plete dissolution was reached. For
this reason, it is stated, the govern
ment is unable to continue further
cash payments in accordance with the
decisions of the Reparation Commits
sion on March 81, 1929.
The demand is then made that relief
be given from cash payments for 1922,
although the admission is made that
the funds are available for payment.
But it is stated that this money is
needed for payment for foreign cereals
ordered fer delivery within the next
few months. Attention is also called
to the fact that the government has
spent large sums in an effort to keep
up the value of the mark, and then a
demand for q full moratorium of cash
payments for two years is made. In
this connection the note says:
"With regard to the enormous seri-
BUSINESS Of the situation, the govern
ment will be able to restore it's finan-
cial condition only if it finds assistance
from the Reparation Commission.
There is no doubt that in order to
restore the rate of exchange for the
mark measures must be taken imme-
diately; therefore, the government
considers it necessary that Germany
should be freed also from payment
during the years 1928 and 1924"
Having thus asked relief from the
payment of S75,750,000 in 1922 and
about billion and half in the two
succeeding years, the note proceeds to
demand modification of other payments
outside the regular schedule pre-
scribed in the treaty. These last de-
mands, however, are admittedly mat
tiers for the respective governments in
volved to decide.

THE HAGUE, July ~ (By The Asso-

Vauban to the Vcstris he went to a

10000 Investors i'm
$l4,OOO,0OO Suit
Against 3 Firms
Boston Legal Aid Society
Charges Finance Com
panies Entered Into a
"Fraudulent Conspiracy"
Special Dispatch to The Trib,n.

BOSTON, Mass, July ia s14.-
100000 suit involving 10000 investors
was filed to-day in the Supreme Govt
by the Boston Legal Aid Society
against the H. V. Greene Company,
the Mutual Finance Corporation and
the First Peoples Trust Company, who
are charged with having victimized in
vestors in a fraudulent conspiracy"
to obtain grossly excessive and exorbi-
tant fees, profits and commissions and
other illegal gains from poor and ig-
norant persons.
The Legal Aid Society, through it's
general counsel, Joseph D. Taylor, and
its special counsel, Joseph A. Locke,
files its suit in behalf of thirty-five
plaintiffs, who, it is said, are either
stockholders or holders of instalment
plan contracts to purchase stock in
the defendant companies.
The action asks that the defendant
companies, which are believed to be
affiliated, be compelled to distribute
all available assets and restore the
balance of all money, the whole total
ing 9l4,UOO,UUU.
The bill joins as defendants the di-
rectors and trustees of the Greene
companies both as officers and indi-
vidusls. Many of them are men prom
lnent throughout the state. Appoint
ment of temporary receivers for the
defendant companies is asked.
In regard to the long list of defend
ants Joined the bill does not allege
that all of the defendants entered into
the plan in it's early stages or were in
any wise original instigators of the
Greene selling plan. On the contrary,
the plaintiffs say that many of the de-
PENDANTS came in at later stages, from
two to four years after the CONNER
cial Finance Corporation was origi-
nally organized in December of 1917.
For example, the plaintiffs say that
John H. Sherburne was elected on
August %, 1920, member of govern
ing and reorganizing committees" for
the Commercial Finance Corporation
and Mutual Finance Corporation at a
time when the defendant companies
were admittedly seeking to improve the
repute of the companies in public es-
TEEN.
Similar circumstances, the plaintiffs
admit, attended the election of Sher-
man L. Whipple, on or about February
16, 1921, as one of the new voting trus-
tees of the two finance corporations to
succeed H. V. Greene.
