BANKERS PRESENT FOUR SOLUTIONS
 ID LOAN ISSUE J. P. Morgan Offers "Ameri- can Plan' at Meeting of Fi- nanciers-DeIegates
 Are Optimistic
Ux h..oola,.a p,...

Paris, May 25.-Four tentative so- lutions of the international loan problem for the settlement of the eco- homie situation in Europe with par ticular reference to Germany were presented today at the meeting of the bankers committee, of which J. P. Morgan is the American representa- tive, and the spirit of the meeting was described by some of those who took part as indicating that some thing can be done. It was even said that probably an announcement of B definite nature could be made in q relatively short time.
 The solutions were submitted re- spectively by MT. Morgan, who offered what he termed the American plan: :: Sir Robert Kendersley, one of the governors of the Bank of England; Charles Sargent. former French under secretary of finance and presi- Parisienne, and Dr. c. Vissering, Dl lHe ANG1nttidlAo bah h' No hint was given as to what these plans are, but the committee con- veyed an idea of optimism and def influences when they called them Solutions"
 They were advanced in response to a request by NJ Delacroix, former Belgian premier. who acted as chair. man, for statements as to what tho bankers believed could be done.
 Study Germnny's Condition
 The committee also decided to spend the next week in an exhauss tive study of Germanys condition. which strengthens the belief that the bankers, in beginning their work. see a chance to accomplish something tangible. When the committee had these four suEg ested remedies before 1t. Herr Bergman, German expert. was called upon and he outlined the negotiations which are still proceed ing between the German delegation and the reparations commission, and explained the state of the German budget and the changes to be made In it.
 The two sessions of the committee today were held in the Hotel Astoria, the home of the reparations commits sion. Seven financiers of command ing personalities in the neutral allied and German money markets sat down together there in one of the drawing rooms and began their conversations on the possibility of straighteping out the confused econ omic conditions in Europe by widely distributed loan to enable the allies to receive reparations and the Ger mans to pay them. Some effort was

Practically all classes and com modities of traffic arc affected by the decision which marked the con clusion of the Investigation begun last autumn by the commission. on it's own Initiative, into the reason ableness of existing freight levels.
 Agricultural products in all sec tions of the country, outside of New England, livestock and western grain and grain products are the chief commodities excluded from the reduction, these comprising the freight classifications upon which re- ductions have been recently put into effect. Passenger charges and Pull man fares are also left unchanged by today's decision.
 With It's decision on rates, the com mission announced olso it's determin- alton of b.75 per cent as the reason able annual return which carriers in the future will be entitled to earn on their actual capital investment. This compares with six per cent, the reasonable return level fixed under the transportation act for the period expiring March l.
 Voluntary Reductions
 Railroads were required to signify to the commission before May 3i whether they would voluntarily make the new schedules complying with the decision or require the commis- sion to issue it's formal and detailed order for the alteration. Though di- vergence in view within the commis- sion was indicated by several sup plemental, concurring or dissenting opinions. the full weight of the com mission appeared to be thrown be- hind the statement made in the majority and controlling opinion, that general reduction in the rate level as substantial as the condition of the carriers will permit, will tend to stabi- .lize the conditions under which com merce and industry are carried on, with consequent fuller assurance to carriers of realizing fair return"
 On the statement of the commits sion that rail freight revenues in 1921 approximated $4.o0o.00o,o 900, to- days decision will reduce tho national freight bill by s400.000.000 per year.
 Horizontal Decrease
 The commission, after reviewing the arguments for and against rate re- auctions. as made before it by ship pers, railroads and representatives of geographical areas of the country, declared that as rates had been pushed by horizontal percentage in- crease. "a similar process should be followed in bringing them down to meet lowered expenses of operation" This coincided with the arguments which President Harding advanced before railroad executives at a dinner conference last week. in favor of rate reductions affecting sharply basic commodities, but leaving untouched existing rates on high priced finished

Three hundred Sim Feiners were rounded up and imprisoned in Ulster yesterday. The fighting work goes on although the English are out of it. The first problem was to get the English government out of Ire civil war out of Ireland, and that is the harder problem. There are some hatreds more intense and bitter than bitterness between different one.

poor Katie, but through which ! could
see to the warm sympathy hidden
beneath his stern mask.
Katie" he began slowly, "Why
were you listening just now?"
She swallowed painfully, and spoke
in little ~convulsive jerks.

to see eef you all in your romms, und
den / hear bells. 90" aa if the
very mention of the bells caused her
uncomfortable terror. 'Vot / tell you,
Misses Underwood? You see! Dot
COON true. He can oom und do
tings-"
She turned on Lillian with animal
like rage, while the rest of us stared,
wondering. what the rawlings of the
girl might mean. But Lillian evidently
understood. She crossed the room,
looked steadily at the girl, and then
laughed lightly.
II thought you had better sense"
she said contemptuouslyy. Watch me,
now
She walked to the door of the
library, and from behind it took up
something which l recognized as a
gaily-colored harness of bells which it
was Juniors delight to wear when he
played horse"
Here are your bells" she said. I'VE
were sure you would try to listen,
for we know -else-you-have-
DONE" her words fell slowly, meaning
ly. "See l simply stretched these
bells across the door, low down, and
took them away just now while Mrs.
Graham was talking to you. Now do
you see that nobody else had anything
to do with it? There is nothing can
harm you except you own f~oolishness."
That Lillian's words were like a
reprieve to a condemned prisoner we
all understood as we saw the color
creep back into her face. the wild look
leave her eyes. And I. for one, now
understood the meaning of the col
loquy.
Katie had attributed the sound of
the bells to the black magic with
which the man. Anton, had so cunning
ly threatened her.
"O-O-I so glad she breathed,

my father. Il tell you truth now
she said.
