I. 5. WANTS SHARE
 OF GERMANY'S DEBT
Does Not Intend to Let Allies
 Take All

Washington, March 13.-It was stated on the highest authority today that the American government does not intend to allow the allies to take all that Germany can pay in repara- tions and leave nothing for the Unit ed States as recompense for expenses incurred in the occupation of the Rhineland.
 Propose Defcrring L. s.
 This pronouncement of American government policy was occasioned by a press dispatch from Paris to the effect that allied governments contemplated deferring payments to the United States for the gRhineland occupation on the ground that the American government had not ratified the treaty of Versailles.
 Such a position on the part of the allies, it was stated, would be inde- fensible as it could not be maintained for a. moment, either morally or le- Eally. The further statement was made that under the terms of the armistice ' he American forces re- mained iN the Rhineland at the cx- pressed request of the allied govern ments and there was an explicit agreement that this country should

SCIENTIST HAS NEW SOLUTION OF GHOST Believes. Wireless Waves Have
 Caused Queer Phenomena

Boston, March 13 Edward J. OBrien, scientist and author declar- ed today that the ghost of Antigonish was in reality the product of electrical energy.
 After a months investigation in the Nova Scotia country, where he was featuring at St. Francis Xavier uni versity when the ghost stories first came from Antogonish, O'Brien said he found that strong wireless cur rents between the two great radio sta- tions at Wellfeet, Mass, and Glace Bay. N. S., ran through the valley of Caledonia Mills where stands the home of Alex Macdonald, scene Of fthe eerie events
 "The MacDonalds," said O'Brien, will have to have their house out of range of these powerful radio cur rents if they wish to avoid the ghost like incidents. If not, the house may be burned down wl1en the atmospher ic conditions are just right, as they apparently were when the fires were first set around the barn."
 The braiding of the tails of the Macdonald cows which has been con sidered another of the manifestations of the unseen influence, was done by Mary Ellen. the Antigonish farmers foster daughter, because it was good fun, in the opinion of O'Brien.
 Harold Whidden, the reporter who had experiences of his own when he went to investigate those of the Mac Donald family, continued MT. O'Brien, was completely carried away by his enthusiasm and really believed that q ghost slapped him." But, "Whidden slapped his own face when he sud denly walked in a temperature of o5 below zero and his numbed arms be- came suddenly suffused with good warm blood" was OBrien's explana- ton.
 ''Take the map, trace the line, ap- ply your scientific knowledge of wire le ss operation, study the curious ef- fleets of electrical currents in fires on ships and on land and you have the solution of the fires charged against the ghost of Antigonish,' was O'Brien's summary.
 He predicted that Dr. Walter Franklin Prince, New York, director of the American society for scienti- tic research, who has spent the past week in the haunted house" would fail to find any other cause of the phenomena.

UNION WILL TRY TO
 PLACE TROLLEY MEN
Local Representative Sends Names
 of Laid Of Employes to Hartford

John J. Kenney, local representa- tive of the Hartford branch of the Trolley Mems union, today sent the names of all local employees of the Connecticut company who were laid of, due to the installation of the one man cars in this city, to the main office in Hartford.
 This was done in an effort to secure work for those who have been drop ped from the payroll of the New Brit ain division. MT. kenney when seen this morning, stated that about 10 men were affected by the new ruling.
 These men were thealtest ones to be given work by the Connecticut company and were on the spare lists. In Hartford, Waterbury and other large Connecticut cities, the Connccti- cut company is hiring new men daily, 1t is claimed
 The union has been given the names of the local men who have been laid off, in order that they may be given preference in these other cities over new men seeking jobs and who have not had any trolley car experience. Mir. kenney believes that work would be secured for the men.
 Reports from the office of the Con necticut company are to the effect that the one man cars proved satlS- factory in this city for the first day which was Sunday and superinten- dent r. l.. Beardsley was well pleas ed with the results.
 The Hartford, Merden and Plain vile trolleys are the only lines in New Britain that one man trolley cars are not operated upon.

PACIFIC MILLS TO
 MAKE WAGE SLICES
5000 Workers to Be AHected.' Rhode Is. Situation Unchanged

Boston, March 13,--The Pacific mills which employ 5000 persons in their plant at Lawrence, largely on cotton goods probably will announce la wage reduction within the next week or two. This statement was made today by Edwin Farnham Greene treasurer of the corporation which is one of the largest in the |country. The cut appears inevitable, he said but final determination to i'm pose it and on the amount of if, have not as yet been determined. Ii was probable however. he thought that it would be tho same as the reductions in Rhode Island and New Hampshire twenty per cent-and that other cotton mill interests would find it necessary to make similar cut
 Such action by the Pacific Mills would be the first in the important textile center of Lawrence which like the cotton mill centers of Fall river and New Bedford have been unaf- fected as yet by the recent wage cuts
