RETURN FROM GERMANY
Mr.. and Mrs. q. Noller Home From
Five Months Journey.

Mr. and Mrs. c. Nol1er, of 204 East
Tenth avenue, returned to Topeka to-
day from a. five months visit in Ger
many. Mr., tNo1Ier stated that condi-
tons in that country were as well as
could be expected. The people are all
happy but have a heavy burden in the
way of the Indemnity said Noller.
The coal and wood supply is very
small and many persons are forced to
stay in bed all day to keep warm: The
factories are going full blast and the
farmers with stock are all apparently
well fixed. 1 noticed a great change
in the value of the mark while there.
When 1 first arrived in the country
$50 marks were valued at one dollar
and at my departure 1000 were valued
at a dollar. Many Americans who
moved to Germany to live on account
of the low prices have suffered large
losses because of the drop in the value
of the mark. A, person can now ride
on fast trains in Germany for whole
day for the small sum of so cents
Mr.. and Mrs. Noller visited the fol-
lowing cities: Hamburg, Berlin, Stuff

Plan Worked Out for Payment
of Germany's Debt.
Secretary Hughes Approves
Scheme To Pay u. S. Claim.
ALLIES CONSENT TO PROPOSAL
Dyes Have Been Distributed
Thru Textile Alliance.
Amount VIII Be Credited to
Germany's Troop Account.

W .shington, Sept. 2T.-Germany's
debt of 1856, 100000 for maintaining
the American army of occupation on
the Rhine. is to be paid by means of
dyes under a plan worked out by Sec
rotary of State Hughes and approved
BY the reparations commission, it was
learned today.
The plan provides that the American
share of German dyes shall not be
paid in cash but shallbe credited upon
the German account for the cost of
maintaining United States troops in
the Rhinelaud.
Allies Give Consent.
The allied governments have con-
sexted to this proposal. notwithstand-
ing the fact that they raised strenuous
objection when this government sug-
gested some months ago that the
United States expected to be compen-
stated for the cost of maintaining the
army of occupation before any pay
ments were made on general repara-
tions.
man dyes is complicated. While the
peace conference was in session at
Paris, negotiations on this subject
were conducted at Spa, it being de-
cided that 25 per cent of all German
dyes should be turned over to the
dllleS- VI InlS diHOuHl, lue OHlLeO
States was TO receive one-fifth, it
being agreed that this government
should pay Cor the dyes at market
price. The other allied governments
were to receive their shares without
payments, the amount to be credited
on the German reparatfons account.
Dyes Delivered TO z. S.
These dyes have been delivered to
the United States and distributed thru
the textile alliance, a voluntary body
which operated for the good of the
American dye-using industry and
without profit. With the negotiation
of the peace treaty between the
United States and Germany, however,
it became necessary for the United
States to provide some machinery for
distributing the dyes in America, par
ticularly since the treaty provided for
delivery of an American share of the
dye.
No machinery has yet been pro-
vided, congress having hesitated to
legisiate on this point pending a de-
cision as to whether an embargo
should be placed upon foreign dyes.

CHECK IN BUYING
Flour Buyers Seem To he Watt
ing for Lower Prices.
Inquiries to Topeka From
Abroad Show Big Increase.

While the flour market for Topeka
millers displayed a distinct improve
ment last week over the early part
OF the season, yet the advance in price
has caused check in the buying,
which was approaching normal vol
uEle. With an increase of 20 cents per
barrel in prices, buyers lost interest
and--seem to be waiting for a return
to the lower levels of a few days
ago.
8 During the week, however, orders
for several round lots of flour were
booked by Topeka millers. and gem
orally, there was a better tone to the
market than for some time, with the
exception of the week just previous.
Buyers are still ordering smaller
lots than their normal demand calls
for, but they. are buying oftener.
Better Export Inquiry.
There has also been an increased
and more serious inquiry from abroad.
Prices remain unsatisfactory and
not all the Inquiries from foreign mar
kets resulted in sales. However, the
ideas of the millers and importers arc
getting closer together.
Car Shortage Causes Shutdown.
Gar shortage is beginning TO have
of Topeka mills. Some of them wera
closed down on one or two days of
the. past week, because of lack of
cars for flour loading.
a temporary shortage of fuel oil, on
which the majority of the mills in
Topeka depend for power. has also
caused a close down in some cases.
Range of Flour Prices.
The prices of flour fluctuated rap
idly during the week, values closing
with a net advance.
Quotations on Saturday were: Hard
winter wheat short patent, $3.50 to
$3.50: straight, $3.50 to $3.50; first
clear; s. to $3.50; second clear; ss.5c
to $3.75; low grade, So to 1925.
Bran Reaches Dollar Mark.
Demand for nfilIfeed continues un-
abated, and bran Wa- sold last week
at 81 per 100, the highest price this
season. Demand from the southern
and southwestern states. where the
pastures We're burned out during the
summer, remains the heaviest expert
enced for years. The same thing ap-
plies to gray shorts. Bran is quoted
at CSC to 81 per 100; gray shorts,
$1.25 to s1.30.
