mission decided to-day to transmit Ger
many's latest reparations proposals to
the Allied governments and await their
decision as to whether they Will treat
the question with Germany themselves
or refer it back to the commission to
handle.
A letter transmitting the German
note 20 the Allies makes no recon-
mendations, it is understood, but mere
ly recalls the agreement recently
reached at Cannes, providing for the
payment Of 31,0o0,000 gold marks by
Germany every ten days, pending a
reparations issue. The letter viii be
made public tomorrow
Members of the commission refused
to make any comment as to whether
the note from Germany was satisfac-
tory. The only comment in reparations
circles was an expression Of regret
that the Germans did not state the
exact length Of time during which they
desire freedom from cash payments and
the actual amount Of money they would
be able to pay this year.
copy of the note was given unof-
fcially to Roland ". Boydcn, the Amer
lean unofficial representative on the
comm ssion, for transmission to the
United States government, as the COM
mission is anxious to keep in close
touch with the current reparations sit
uation.
The German government sent five
lengthy annexes with It's note. explain

note itself. The annexes have not vet

TO determine why the famous Long
Island duck lays sucn unsatisfactory

D. A. Ahrens. head of the poultry de-
rartmcnt OF the institute. SAID the ex
perimcnt-which is in dict-was in
spired by dissatisfaction of Long Isl

of incubation.
A committee of duck raisers. headed
by A. j. Halleck. known on Long Island
as the duck king" got together with
Mr.. Ahrens and planned the expert
ment on the theory that il was p case
Of poor nutrition. Comparing notes
they found there was almost unani-
NOUS disagreement as to what ducks
and brakes should be fed
So six diet formulas were drawn IN

Taking the naval treaty and the four

venting the possibility of war between
Japan and the United States
japanese Fears Allayed
Japan is relieved from what she
has alxays regarded as the consta ut
threat of attack from the United
states, through removal Of fortifca-
lions and naval bases in the Philip
pines and Guam. This is the justifica-
ton Of her delegates to their own peo-
pie FOR surrendering their own idea as

nese feet to the American, which they
thought should be as is to 10 instead
Of is to 10, as laid down in the 5-5-3
ratio.

and By agreeing not to fortify the
Pacific islands in question nor to CON
Atruct naval bases IN them, but obtains
the promise Of Japan, made with Brit
ain and France, not to attack the
American islands.
Incidentally Congress has refused
io- twenty years to appropriate money
either for fortifcations or naval bases
IN these islands, so the American con-
cession in this respect is d moral one
only. and not one of vast importance in
the now almost unthinkable possibility

from Ireland continued to-day. Detach-

In addition to the troops numerous

The municipal councils IN various
parts Of Ireland elected lord mayors

of Limerick. declared himself as much
a republican now as when he was first
elected last year.
Apparently the question Of politics
did not figure either at Limerick or

Cork. who is Republican and voted
against the treaty, was nominated By
supporters of the Free State.
