MANY VISITORS
ARE. COMING
Prospective Settlers Arriving
at Rate of $50 to 200 a Month

Prospective settlers are coming to
North Dakota at the rate Of $50 to
200 a month, according to j. H.
Worst, commissioner of immigration,
who has returned from St. Paul
where he consulted with immigra-
ton agents of the railroads.
"The Northern Pacific informed
me that it had located about 80
families in Benson county since the
first of the year," DR.. Worst said.
"A check-up of the special excursion
tickets sold to homeseekers shows
that for sometime prospective set
tiers have been coming in the state
at the rate of $50 to 200 month,
and this number will of course be
increased later in the season.
The northwest railroads are doing
much immigration work, DR.. Worst
said, including advertising and per-
sonal solicitation by agents. The
Northern Pacific, Great Northern
and 500 line all have men in the
field, he said, while the Milwaukee

RBLENTING IN
FIRM ATTITUDE
Now Recognize that Final
Settlement of Reparations
Must Be Agreed on
(By the Associated Press J

Paris, July ia meeting of the
allied pren,iers to discuss the repair
| ations problem is expected within the
next ten or fifteen days, it was in
dicated today in official circles.
The report of the committee on
guarantees, the result of its prolong-
ed investigation in Germany recently,
probably will be formally presented
to the reparations commission Thurs
day or Friday.
Final settlement of the German
reparations problem is beginning to
be publicly recognized in France as
inevitable.
The proposal to reduce the German
indemnity to fifty billion gold marks,
to cancel the French debt to Great
Britain and to conclude Anglo-French
defensive alliance has become such a
constant subject for discussion in
reparations circles that political ex-
perts are beginning to accept as a
foregone conclusion there must be
some adjustment.
The French government is holding
out vigorously for formal declar-
alton by the reparations commission
that Germany has voluntarily de-
faulted, but some of the French
newspapers are now joining the Brit
ish in saying a German financial
compromise must be avcrted first ana
that the question Of Germany's guilt
NAV be determined later.
