pREMIERS FACE
DIFFICULT TASK
BRAND and Lloyd George Aim at Final
Settlement of Europe's Eco
nOmic Troubles
SECOND CONFERENCE FAVORED
Russia and Germany to BE Present
At This One

To save Europe from complste eco
non1ic disintegration and keep the
entente from falling apart are the
big tasks to be undertaken at Cannes
France, by Premiers Lloyd George and
BRAND. The two premiers have laid
out program for the allied supreme
council which meets Friday.
Premier BRAND is determined to
limit the agenda of the council meet
ings to two questions, reparations and
the economic restoration of central
Europe. 1t is understood that he is
in favor of calling an economic con-
ference later on, at which perhaps
Germany and Russia may be repre-
sented. The French delegation has
agreed in principle to Germany's max
ing four payments of 125, 900 900 gold
marks, one each on the 18th of jan
uary, February, March and April, al
though BRAND insists that nothing
binding was decided with Lloyd George
during the recent conversations in
London. as Belgium and Italy were
not represented there.
BRAND has consented, however, to
a delay Of the 1922 German payments,
except for 500, ,OO0, 900 gold marks, a
well as to other measures intended to
relieve Germany.
Although Germany's ability to pay
this amount is denied by Teuton finan-
ciers, the French are certain they can
"make the grade" if they wish.
Italy is expected to propose the
summoning Of a preliminary meeting
Of the powers shortly to discuss the
question of relations with Russia.

HANGED SOLDIERS
FOUND IN GRAVES
Three Veterans Bodies Sent HON.
With Heads in Nooses and
Black Caps, is Claim
WATsON's CHARGES SUPPORTED
Senate Body is Informed of "Many
Sad Mistakes" Made

Rufus P. Hubbard Of New York
employed by the American graves reg.
istration service in preparing bodies
Of American soldiers for sending from
France, told senate committee yes
terday that on three bodies disinterred
he found a rope around the neck Of
each and black cap over each face.
Called as the first witness at re-
sumption Of hearings of the commit
tee investigating the charges of Sen
ator Watson that American soldiers
were hanged without trial in France,
Hubbard declared there was nothing
in the collins by which the bodies could
be identified. n.
"The bodies were identified by the
cross on the outside Of the coffin, and
the black caps were not removed be-
fore the bodies were shipped to the
United States for burial" Hubbard
testified.
Describing his work in the field as
an assistant embalmer, Hubbard went
into great detail while Chairman Bran
degee was trying to find out what he
knew about charges Of illegal hang
ings.
There was too much hurry in the
registration service, according to Hub
bard, and many sad mistakes in iden-
tification were made.
He also said that bodies that had
not been properly identified were sent
home as identified. j..
Another witness told how he had
placed a Moose about the. neck Of q
colored soldier hanged after court
martial conviction, claiming innocence.

F1REMEN's BALL DRAWS CROWD
Two Hundred Tickets Sold at Thirty
Fifth Annual Event

The thirty-ffth annual firemen's
ball was given at the c. NJ. G. hall last
Friday evening and was success
from every standpoint. The boys had
spent several days selling tickets and
the result Of their efforts was reflect
ed in the size Of the crowd that at
tended. -: ~ ,:,..s..o-.,,., 4s,....a
Music was furnished by MAYORS
six piece orchestra, the members Of
which certainly performed in a thor
oughly acceptable manner.
The firemen's dance has come to be
the greatest single event Of. its kind
held in Oakes each year, and it is
looked forward to by lovers of the
terpsichorean art for weeks in ad-
vance. ...'s,-.
Each year the floor is SO crowded
that shoes are scratched, shins kicked
and heels torn off, but this fails to
dampen the ardor Of the enthusiasts.
It only emphasizes the fact that a
larger hall should be available for
affairs Of this kind, or public gather
ings of any. other kind which are at
tended by four or five hundred people.
Many persons purchase tickets who
do not intend to dance or who attend
merely as spectators, taking this
method Of showing their appreciation
to the fire boys for the protection
they afford against the ravages of the
fire demon; and most Of those who use
their tickets do so with full knowledge
that the money is spent in worthy
cause.
The fire boys are all right and de-
serve liberal treatment at the hands
Of our people if for no other reason
than that Oakes would be at the mer-
cy Of the destroying element without
them. Besides this, they are good fell
lows, always working for the better
ment Of the city. ~
An organization such as this is a
credit to the community and people
appreciate this fact even If they don't
get an opportunity to show it very
often. We're for 'em. ~.
