PREDICTS OPEN
FALL BY SLOW
DIPPER MOVES

Selkirk, Man. Sept. IAN
open fall with NO cold weather
until late in December, was
predicted today by Harry
Prince, a grandson of the great
Indian Chief Peguis, who spoke
with all confidence of a man
who knew what he was talking
about. He based his opinion
principally on the position and
movement of the stars, and de-
clared the dipper is exception
ally slow in its turning move
ments this season.
This fact, he stated, is an un-
failing sign Of 2 long continu-
ance Of warm weather. Other
signs, not so infallible in them
selves, but taken in conjune-
ton with the stars, in his opin-
ion, clinch the matter. They are
the exceptionally cool nights
that have prevailed this sum-
mer; the fact that ducks are
later than usual in coming
back from the north, and the
late Matching season.

Bathes in the Wrong

Sebago Lake, Maine, Sept. IA
summer colony Of actors and prop
erty valued at approximately $685.
600 probably will be destroyed and
all because Malcolm E. Williams,
husband Of Florence Reed, noted
actress. went swimming.
There are no local regulations
governing bathing at Sebago, but
the Portland water district trus-
tees insist that Williams took his
bath nearer to fhk intake which
supplies water for Portland than
the state law allows.
Under the right Of eminent do
main power conferred upon them,
the trustees have taken the initial
steps to take possession OF the cot
tages and property of Williams and
Miss Reed, Of Lester Lonergan, dra-
matte director, and his wife, Amy
Ricard Lonergan, and of Billy Ro-
selle, film actor, and Mrs. Mary
Hechter Roselle.
All have lived On Indian island
in the lake for Is years. Around
them has gradually grown up an
actors colony where many well
known stage people have spent
their leisure time. When the water
district was created the property
Of those mentioned was included to
be taken over, but they appealed to
be allowed to remain where they
had been so many years, and con-
sent was granted on condition that
they observe certain bathing re-
strictions.
This year it is claimed Williams
refused to obey the rules. Inspec-
tors for the water district cited him
into court. He was found guilty ol
polluting the water supply, but he
announced today that he will ap.
peal the conviction to the superior
court. Meanwhile the water dis.
trict trustees have taken over tbs
property and appealed to the court
to confirm their action.
Summer residents sympathize
with the actor colony to such al
extent that the inspectors are hav.

Berlin and Brussels

Paris, Sept. 1.-(By the Associat-
ed Press.)-First effect of the de-
cision Of the reparations commits
sion suspending cash payments
from Germany this year on the
condition that Belgium's priority
claims be met with short term
notes, is to take the reparations
question out Of the hands of the
commission for the present and to
make it a matter for negotiation
directly between Berlin and Brus-
sells governments. Belgium is left
to determine what guarantees she
deems necessary to acceptance Of
the short term notes.
Should the two countries fail to
agree on the necessary guarantees,
Germany then is required to de-
posit a unified sum Of geld with
some foreign bank approved by
Belgium. 1t is believed, however,
that a speedy agreement will be
reached, as Herr Schroeder, the
German spokesman yesterday, vir-
tually promised M. DeLacroix, the
Belgian representative, that Ger
many would give any guarantees
demanded.
The decision also anticipates an
allied conference in the near fu-
ture at which q reduction of the
indemnity to about $4,000, 900, ,000
gold marks and the settlement by
cancellation Of the inter-allied
debts will be undertaken.
The reparations commission
promises to consider at a later
date. Germany's request for NOR.
atorium Of several years duration
This will be taken up after a new
scheme for radical reform of Ger.
many's finances, including the bal.
ancing of the budget, is presented

The relief granted at the present
time is for the purpose Of giving

form and Germany the opportunity
