will be relieved from duty at the NUM-
cipal building in the near future. it was
reliably learned today in Army circles
The majors new assignment, it is un-
derstood, will take him to the engineer
school at Camp Humphreys. Va.
The War Department has not made
known the name of the new assistant
engineer, but the announcement prob
ably will be made before Maj. Brown
leaves.
The retiring officer will take with him
only Of the District officials with whom
he has worked, but also Of scores Of
residents OF the District who have had
occasion to meet him on civic problems
Mai. Brown has had busy three
years in the service Of the National Cap
ital. In addition to drafting the regu-
Iations under which Washingtons new
coming law has been enforced. the major
has had direct supervision over the
large school building program. which
has been in progress during the past
two years.
AssiRned in 1919.
Returning from war-torn France.
Mai. Brown was assigned to the Dis
trict building on March !, 1919. He
took charge of the sewer, water and
electrical departments and the build
ing inspectors Office.
Because of the knowledge he gain
ed of conditions in the building de-
partment, Maj. Brown was selected
to prepare the rules for enforcement
Of the zoning law. When the zon1ng
commission came into being by act
of Congress about two years ago, the
major became it's executive officer
and is still in that position.
With the close Of the war Congress
began to turn attention to the ac-
cumulated needs of the local school
system and made substantial appro-
priations for new buildings. AS super
visor over the municipal architect,
Mai. Brown has directed the prepa-
ration Of plans and the actual con-
struction Of the new schooihouses.
Another Assistant Named.
About a year ago the work Of the
city engineer department became so
heavy that the War Department de-
tailed Capt John E. Wood OF the
Corps of Engineers to be another
assistant engineer commissioner. The
latter officer relieved Maj. Brown
from control of the sewer. water and
electrical departments.

MORATORIUM PROBABLE.
Reparation Commission Convinced
This Is Only Solution.

By the Associated Press
PARIS, July IA moratorium on

IN circles close to the reparations
commission to be quite probable n,
a result Of conference this fore
noon between DR.. Fischer, chairman
or the German war debts commts-
sion. and all tho members of the
commission in a hurriedly called in
formal session.
The French government is opposed
10 an immediate meeting of the allied
powers to discuss the reparations sit

such meeting as a final step. This
was made plain in Official circles to-
day after conference between Pres

ton of all the remaining payments
this year, leaving the matter of a
mora atorium thereafter open for the
time being. Under this arrangement
the question Of the further morator-
ium will be decided later, upon fuller
consideration and in view of what
may happen in Germany in the next
few weeks.
1t is understood that the majority of
the commission sees no other way out
of the present crisis and Is therefore
prepared to vote a temporary mora
torium, particularly because there is
general realization that no loan to
Germany is imm ediately possible and
that relief for present conditions
must come quickly.
DR.. Fischer told the commission that
Germany had succeeded in. getting
together sufficient foreign exchange
to meet tho payment of $4,000, 900
gold marks due July 15, but whether
this payment will be exacted has
not yet been decided.
Formula to BE Evolved
The exact form of the possible
moratorium would be evolved during
this afternoon, it was thought, as
both DR.. Fischer and Herr Schroeder
again will have separate converse
tions with tho members of the COM
mission during the day In the effort
to put their request into q shape
that will meet with the commissions
approval.
France Is not yet ready to approve
Of Germany's admission to member
ship in the league Of nations, It was
intimated in official circles this after
noon, in connection with recent dec
larations Of Prime Minister Lloyd
George and other prominent British
statesmen in favor Of such a plan.
"It would be best in many ways
for Germany to belong to the league"
said high official. "but the moment
does not appear to have come. since

to execute her obligations, which, un-

Constantinople's harem attendants
have gone on strike for more
money and shorter hours. Many
of the capitals finest harems have
been left unguarded and their
owners are trying distractedly to
find suitable substitutes for the
strikers. Numbers of Russian
refugees have volunteered their
services. but it was found they
were not fitted for the job.
The strikers insist that their
'twenty-four- hour day" and the
unceasing vigil they are required
to keep on the women of the
harems justify better remunera-
tion, especially during the pres
ent hard times. Many of them
protest that their wages have not
been paid for more than a year,
and in several instances they have
appealed to the American Com
mittee on Relief in the Near East
for aid. The fact is that their
masters, who in most cases are
officials or employees of the gov
ernment, have not drawn any
salaries for months.
The strikers include the eunuchs
and other attendants.

HIGHER COAL PRICE

Representatives Of non-union coal
operators will be called together the
end Of this week to consider means
who are selling coal at prices in ad-
vance of the maximum recently
reached by voluntary agreement,
Secretary Hoover said today.
Secretary Hoover said the larger
non-uuion operators had been abid-
ing by the price agreements faith
fully, but the smaller operators were
getting entirely out of hand" and
in some places were raising prices as
much as SO cents each week. Small
operators in western Kentucky and
one Pennsylvania district. he said.
were the worst offenders against the
fair price maximum.
Far Over Limitations.
Attraction Of the open market, he
asserted has proved too much for
the smaller non-union operators, and
while the larger operators are hold
ing prices at the mine to from $3.50
to 50, although being offered as high
at 81 a ton, smaller operators are
charging as high as s3.75 a ton, and
in the western Kentucky and Penn
sylvania fields as high as IS or Sc
q ton.
The arrangements made with the
non union operators, Mr.. Hoover
stated, were purely voluntary agree
ments and representatives of their
associations will be called to Wash
inEton to see il they cannot hold the
smaller operators in line or whether
the government will have to take
some action to protect the public.
