REDRESS IN
U. S. HANDS
Europe Puts Reparation
Questions on White
House Steps.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

(COpyf18nt, I'VE, py Tne ArGue.)
Washington, D. c., Dec. 1.-THE
reparations problem which for four
years has kept Europe in state Of
apprehension has been deposited for
settlement on the doorstep Of the
White house.
The deadlock in the conference
Of premiers at London with the
decision to have another conference
in January means that Europe still
hopes the United States will lend a
helping voice, il not a hand in
bringing the nations together on a
workable basis.
Try as the American government
may under this administration ~
under the preceding one to regard
the reparation question as separate
and distinct from the matter OF. al
lied war debts to the United States,
the practical side of the matter re-
veals how inseparable the two
really are. Great Britain Is trying
to appease French sentiment BY
processing q cancellation OF British
debt in exchange for an agreement
on Frances part to accept a lower
|reparation from Germany. And
when that cycle Of negotiation be-
gins, it usually ends with the bar
rier of Americas debt on the ad-
justment of which no authoritative
word has been spoken by anyone

pointed BY act of congress.

Of lightship 81 brought from Winter
Quarter Shoals. The vessel came to
the lighthouse depot in Portsmouth

Nobody, members Of the crew

with a school Of dolphins pursuing.
The flyers popped up all around in
short flights in the air, cheating the
swapping jaws of the 'wolfish packs

The lightship' crew told of two
whales, one sixty-five and the other
forty feet long. which went ashore In
June at Asateague, whose bones are
whitening there now. Two years
ago large whale washed on the beach
at Chincoteague, which had been
killed in collision with a vessel.
It's the sharks which keep down
the monotony Of living at Winter

evenings. They have been very

sharks made 1t difficult tc keep the
ship supplied with edible fis. They
carried off tackle at such a rate the
sailors had to send ashore for new
fishing lines and were reduced to
meting up anything on board that
would answer for a sinker. Mem.
bers of the crew declared they had
caught this summer seventy-five
tiger sharks running in length from
five to seven feet.
Shark fishing had its climax when
a "man-eater" ten feet long and
weighing several hundred pounds
was taken. Among the assortment
found in its stomach were several
fragments of fish stakes, a couple
of them two feet. long and several
inches in diameter One of the
sailors started to count the sharks

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James II. Allen, of Rochester,
n. Y, suffered for years with rheu.
matism. Many times this terrible
disease left him helpless and un.
able to work.
He finally decided, after years Of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the &C.
cumulated impurities, commonly
called uric acid deposits. were dis.
solved in the joints and muscles
and expelled from the body.
With this idea In MIND he con.
suited physicians, made expert.
ments and finally compounded a
prescription that quickly and com.
pletely banished every sign and
symptom of rheumatism from his
system.
He freely gave his discovery
which he called Allenrhu, to Others
who took II, with what might be
called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let
sufferers everywhere know about
his discovery through the news.

Labor organizations in this coun-

outcome Of the trials OF the II 900
persons now in Jail in South
Africa in connection with the great
strike In the Rand gold fields in
January. OF those now imprison-
cd $50 are accused Of high treason,
and many Of them will be tried
for murder under the old Roman
Dutch law.
Although the strike was de-
scribed throughout the world as a
revolution, this characterization is
denied In q statement issued In
London by the class war prison
ers' release committee. Copies Of
the statement have been circulated
In labor circles in the United

Black Labor Employed.
The trouble arose over the de-
ton Of wages Of the white men In
the gold fields of five shillings q
day." the statement says. "This
was resisted by tho Federation Of
Trades, which made a counter-offer
on behalf Of the men to accept q re-
duction of two shillings and six
pence a day pending arbitration. This
was refused by the employers. who
were backed by the government.
"At the same time the Chamber Of
Mines, which represents the gold
mine owners. demanded in fu-
ture work hitherto performed by
white men should be done by cheap
black labor. This meant that 5000
white workers would be thrown out
of employment and that wages would
be reduced from twenty shillings.
per day to two shillings per day, the
difference between the wages Of the
white worker and the native.
These demands were opposed by
the unions and q strike began on
January 10. Appeals were made to
the government on behalf of the
white workers. with the object Of
effecting q settlement; the govern.
ment replied by advising the men to
accept the employers terms. These

able the strike to continue. This in
itself was proof Of the Justice of the
miners demands, and II did not
please the employers. Something
had to be done.
Three Miners Murdered.
Aggression on the part Of the
police took place at Boksburg, and
three miners were murdered. A de-
mand was made Of the government
that a public inquiry be held and that
the officers responsible for these
deaths be brought to trial. The gov.
ernment, which shares in the profits
from the mines, advised the unions to
accept any terms offered and return
to work. II then called upon the en-
ployers to open the mines, giving a
guarantee that full protection would
be given to every man returning to
work.
"As q reprisal the Federation of
Trades called a general strike. Aero.
planes, tanks, heavy artillery and
bombs were then brought into action
by the South African government,
which was responsible for the hun

SCHOOL INSPECTOR
PREDICTS INCREASED
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
tBy Associated Press,


INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 1S-Twenty-
five thousand more persons in India
ma will enter the public schools of the
state this fall than last year, in the
opinion of E. E Ramsey, state school
inspector for the board of public in
struction.
Increased interest in education, bet
ter teachers and the fact that there
has been more school building done
this year than in the four preceding
years were given as reasons for M.
Ramsey's opinion that there would be
"a greater school population. The
attendance law also will have a prom
inent part in increasing the school
attendance, he declared.
Most of the city schools of Indiana
will open on Sept. 4 this year, MI
Ramsey said Schools in the rural
districts, however, in most instances
will not open until later. Several, the
school inspector said, will not get IN
der way until as late as October.
Have Eight Months Course
Most rural schools the coming year
will observe an eight-months' course
This is made possible by the $500 min
imum school teacher salary law In
Vigo county, however, nine months
course will be tried, Mr.. Ramsey said
School attendance in Indiana has
gained steadily in the last few years
according to records of the state board
of public instruction. The schoo
census taken last April showed ar
attendance of SO2,572, as compared
with 1857 for 1921, a gain of SOB;
over a period of twelve months.
