All the groups were greatly ap-
ureciated and did splendidly. The
Grecian group, company OF tai
euted dances, was especially splen-
did. They wore a rainbow array
of costumes. The tiniest girls in
the school featured in the grand
mother drill. They were dressed in
typical grandmother costumes of
black with white caps and carried
knitting bags. There were fairies,
French dolls, gypsies, Spanish
beauties and Dutch girls in costume

ball game between the first and
second year classes, resulting in a
score of 2 to 4 in favor of the first
year girls.
Lunch booths were situated on
the east campus, and every imagin-
able dainty was sold from the pref

villa colors were evident in the
decorations here. May baskets

Not a small part of the after
noon program was the exhibit OF
the work of the school, which was
visited by most of the girls in the
sewing classes. One group>of arti-
cles made by girls eight and nine
years of age attracted much atten-
ton. The work of the Older girls
was also very dainty. The art ex-

London, May 29.-Lapis blue,
combined with silver or aluminium,
is a color scheme affected recently
by many gray haired women, to
whom it is vastly becoming. The
touch of silver is contributed by
metallic braid. With one evening
costume of this sort a handsome
matron wore a coronet of blush
silver wooden beads. This wooden
oddity was striking and becoming
and had a certain quaint dignity.
The blush silver beads were re-
peated in a large plaque holding
the folds of the gown on the left
hip.

I 200, 900 TONS OF COAL
DUE HERE FROM BRITAIN
Shipping Cost Doubles II,
o Week as Demand GroUs.

More than 100000 tons OF coal will
be shipped into the United States next
month from Great Britain. The freight
charge at the present rate OF exchange IL
about $3.50 q ton. This Is half wha. IL
cost 10 ship coal from this country 10
DNgland during the British coal strike
OF 1921. but almost double the charges
quoted here last week.
The Shipping Board chartered forty
three ships last week at 7/6 and shill-
ings H1.50 and S2). but the price has
since jumped to 15 shillings. A year
ago we sold about 1 800. 900 tons of coal
to Great Britain and the freight was 90
sbillings a ton That was because sh kos
were scarce In 1921; they are plentiful
now.

Berlin's Ability to Pay to De-

PENSIONS ARE INCLUDED
Indemnity Reduction Depends
Upon French Eliminating
Aid to Veterans.

WASHINGTON. July 80 (Associated
Press) Inauguration of negotiations
here looking to the refunding of sums due
the United States by Entente nations
has developed that an important connec-
ton exists between such refunding and
the ability of Germany to meet her
indemnity obligations.
1t was found by those engaged in the
negotiations that 1t would be practically
impossible to carry them beyond a GER
tain point without reference to the re-
adjustment Of Germany's war obiiga-
tions. and as the British and French
Premiers are to meet within a fortnight
to consider among other important mat
ters the advisability OF reducing the
total amount of the German indemnity
II is regarded as possible that NJ. Jean
V. Parmentier head OF the French mis-
sion. and the American commissioners
dealing with French debt will feel It
advisable to await the outcome OF that
meeting before going far with their own
conferences
Such delay. It was said, would be on
the theory that the measure of French
ability TO meet her obligations to Amer
lea must depend to large extent upon
the amount OF money France can obtain
from Germany.
Already 1t has developed that the pos
slhility of reducing the total of the Ger
man indemnity will depend upon the
willingness Of France and Belgium to
eliminate from their claims the heavy
payments demanded TO meet pensions to
Entente veterans of the world war and
on account of expenditures by the En-
teEte for military preparations for the
war. This was subject OF controversy
during the framing of the Versailles
Treaty and the American delegates took
strong ground in opposition to the al
lowance of such claims.
1t Is said to be known to few Amer
leans that this American protest was
unavailing and that the claims were in
cluded In the total indemnity demanded
Figures now produced in Washington
show that of the total sum Of 32,OO0,-
100000 gold marks which Germany was
called upon to pay, approximately 80.-
00O, 900 900 has been fixed for otherclaims
The claim for pensions and allowances
is nearly double that for devastation, so
that its inclusion in the total indemnity
demanded nearly trebles the bill which
Germany is called upon to pay The

ference between demand that can be
met and one that cannot

EACH CLAIMS VICTORY

One hundred and forty-six railroad
executives will meet simultaneously
tomorrow in New York and Chicago
to cons der President Harding's terms
of settlement of the rail shop strike
Opposed to them will be the repre-
sentatives Of the railway unions.
Although railroad officials have de-
clared positively that they will not re-
taken back and union leaders are
quite as positive that unless they do
the strike will go the limit, 1t is not i'm
probable some compromise may be
reached.
News from Washington that the
President wants the strike settled pri-
marily because it will facilitate nego-
tiations in the coal emergency was re-
garded as possible way out of what
otherwise might have been hopeless
deadlock. Both sides can say that the
coal situation was the extenuating cir
oumstance that justified a concession.
Railroad men would not admit yester-
day that they may meet the strikers
half way. They said the strike left them
with only 90 per cent. of their shop per-
sonnel on July 1. and since then they
have built up new force of shop work.
ers averaging 20 per cent OF normal
They think they can handle the emer-
gency with these new men. they said.
The general strike committee issued
statement which said:
"Beside the serious situation with re-
gard to the transportation of coal, en-
phasized by Federal action, we are also
on the verge of a general transportation
and freight cars. Figures covering the
first two weeks of the strike now give
the first statistical picture of the situ-
alton. AT the beginning Of the strike
there were 10000 locomotives in the
country, "a per cent. of which already
were in bad order. That left $4,000 fit
for service. There are fifty Federal To-
comotive inspectors in the country and
they have been ordering locomotives out
of service on an average OF Atty day
each since the beginning of the strike
That makes $50 a day, or 1900 week

The figures are supplied by the Labor
Bureau. Inc, / Union Square. The state
ment says further:
There are not 400. 900, or even 100
900. skilled mechanics In the country
fitted to take the places of the striking
shopmen. Apd It takes four years to
train a skilled railroad mechanic. This
shows the chance the railroads have or
beating the strike before It is too late"

bership Of the Eastern Presidents Con-
ference will be held at :15 this after
noon at the Metropolitan Club to discuss
the situation and arrange for to-mor-

the larger Eastern cities. The price OF
bituminous coal ranges from So to IS a

with the supply Of anthracite limited
as 1t is.' said DR.. Smith in summing up
the situation. land mining costs showing
a general tendency to increase as the
mines become deeper and more difficult
to work. every department OF the busi-
ness of producing and distributing an
thracite coal must be scanned for pos
sible economies that will Offset increases
elsewhere. Our system Of handling coal
at retail needs diagnosis.
Finds Too Much Peddling.
There Is about 1t too little mer-
chandising and too much peddling; too
little use of machinery and centralized
facilities on large scale and too much
scattering and overlapping OF effort.
There is about the business too little Of
the technical efficiency of the modern
coIliery and breaker and too much OF the
habits of the local milk wagon. In
analyzing the costs from mine to cellar
my home was much struck by the dis
proportionate cost OF the labor performed
in simply unloading the coal and de-
fivering 1t to the consumers houses and
all the labor involved in mining the coal
and delivering 1t to the mine shaft.
The one cost $751; the other s3.3S.
I'm a matter of such immediate con-
Germ the Federal Government might well
devote attention to the problems Of re-
tail marketing of coal. 1t Is field
where intelligent cooperation with the
distributors might bring good results
Here and in improved efficiency Of burn
ing in the householder's furnace lies one
answer to the tendency of prices to rise
THE logical conclusion is that our an
nual supply Of anthracite is so limited
that we must seek lower prices chiefly
through more regular operation of the
mines and more economical distribution
and use Of the product, fully appreciat-
ing the fact that gradually substitutes
must replace this luxury fuel, which
