Paris, July 12.-The German repre-
sentatives today submitted to the re-
parations commission formal note
requesting a moratorium on repara-
tions payments for the remainder of
the present year. The note stated
that the 100000 gold marks due on
Saturday were available if the COM
mission insisted on this payment but
recommended it also be waived.
The German request did not speci-
fy an extension of the moratorium
throughout the next two years as had
been forecast in some quarters but
urged the commission to consider
Germany's condition and make pub
lie as soon as possible a complete
plan for her relief.
The commission will hold a special
meeting, probably this afternoon to
discuss the German note the text
of which will not be published until
the commission has had time to con-
slider it.
The commission meantime has in
structed the allied committee on
guarantees to hasten its report, eth
er sending it from its findings to
the commission here.

PICTURE ClAGERN HAS
 MUCH W.]AK N FUTURE

George Edward Lewis president of the recently organized Alaska Moving Pictures Corporation who returned from a business trip to inc states on the last boat, has made a tentative program regarding the future opera tions of the company.
 At the outset oi the organization ol the company it was thought possible to commence operations by the lat ter part of this month, or possibly early in September. This, owing to matters of delay, is found at present to be impracticable as the dark months will soon be here and considerable eX- pense would be incurred in bringing people from the states for the filming of the first picture. MT. Lewis is 0l the opinion that it is better and an economical feature to postpone the ac- tual heavy work of shooting until the early part of the year when the days will commence to get longer,
 MT. Lewis work will in the interim be devoted to consolidating the loose threads of the company; closing uI the stock subscriptions and other mat ters so that when the actual work is commenced there will be nothing to hinder progress. In this connection 1t will be necessary for him to select five E'set'' sites-Cordova, Valdez, Sew ard, Anchorage and Fairbanks being the towns selected. Two of these sets must be completde before the cold weather commences.
 As an innovation in the production of the films the company will have portable developing tanks, and these must also be constructed, which will be carried to wherever shots are beinG made. Seward, will however, be the permanent headquarters of the com pany and from this office vii be madel all releases and here will be done al of the work required for completing a picture-cut outs, testing runs, etc.
 The first picture to be released will be one of publicity, every town from Ketchikan to Fairbanks being, shown, according to the judgment of the Chambers of Commerce of those plac- es.
 In recognition Of the future possibil- ities the venture holds the Alaska s, s. Company is willing for the public. ity it will receive to grant special rates to the venture on all their water transportation and will extend every courtesy to the company, even to the extent of building special sets on yes sels of their line.

Dear Editor OF Tribune and Readers
In this letter | wish to place a BIT of

that have for many years been spread

Of them | had heard lory before my
coming TO California
Twenty years of experience and OBJ
serVation have demonstrated to me the
falsity OF both The first and most mn
portant is, that 'one, in settling in the
state. becomes in short time ihin
blooded " emerging lethergie and lazy,
thereby losing what ambition he may
have had and whether rich or poor
settling down to life of Incidence
But | want TO tell my readers that the
exact opposite is the case; and if he
or she ever had a drop of red industrial
blood in their veins, if they ever had
any ambition to be or do, although
through illness or misfortune it had be-
come dormant. it will be revived and
intensified under conditions here. One
cannot come here and rub elbows with
men and women who are doing things
without themselves becoming inspired
to be and to do. If they have means
they cannot resist putting their money
to work for them, for they could not be
blind TO the opportunities of adding to
their store. The very air seems to put
thrill into ones blood. How can one
resist buying a piece Of land wnen he
sees for himself innumerable instances
where others have taken piece of raw
land, costing him, perhaps, one hundred
or two hundred dollars per acre, and in
FIVE or six years raising its value to
from $500 to 81, 500 per acre? And
| there is not a settlement in the state
but what there may be seen many such
instances.
| contend that there is something
radically wrong with the man that can
not make go of it in the golden state,
the state of opportunity. This applies
to the poor as well as the rich. for a
poor man, if industrious and not tainted
with anarchistic sentiment, or toe
bound down by union ties. will find
