Brings Up Reparatfons-
DR.. Andreas Hermes, the German
minister Of finance, created some
commotion by abiding to the question
Of reparations. Hs declared that the
Germans had examined the London
report and were in accord on many
points, but wished to emphasize that

Two Views Conflict.
Meantime two currents Of opinion
have arisen in the Russian delesa-
ton here.
One is absolutely intransigeant In
favoring rejection of the proposals
contained in the report of the allied
experts The other favors acceptance
sion on the following fundamental
points:
First, liberty Of commerce to DE in
sured to foreigners; second, the grant,
ing Of jurfdfcal guarantees; third, &C.
acknowledgement Of the debts contracted
by Russia under the cxarist govern
ment II the allies are ready to indemni-
fly Russia for damages suffered from
the Kolchak, Denikine and Wrangel
armies.
According to the Russians, the in
demnity they claim far exceeds the
debts Of the czarist government, so the
allies would have to pay them a bal
ance. The entire Russian delegation
agrees on rejection of all measures
aiming to introduce capitalization into
their country or to reduce it jurisdi-
cally to the status Of colony. They
chiefly object to the suggestion of the
experts that the verdict of a Russian
law court against q foreigner cannot
be carried out without the consent of
q consul representing the country Of
which such foreigner Is a citizen.

EXPERT SHOOTING
Anti Air Craft Guns Hit Target Be-
hind Moving Plano.

The war department has announced
the success of perhaps the most dan
gerous military mancuver ever at
tempted-the firing of loaded shells by
anti-aircraft gunners at target towed
through the air by naval plane.
Lieutenant w. r. Patterson volun-
teered to pilot the plane. He eluded IT
Of the 90 shots fired, but the five hits
registered are considered by experts to
have demonstrated the effectiveness of
anti-aircraft defense Of the coast.
Patterson would have been killed if
the gunners had fired directly at the
plane instead of at the target. The test
showed, said the war department, that
there is no danger for the pilot pro
vided the gunners are well trained"
The tests were conducted at Fort
Monroe, Va, by the SiXty-frst artil-
lery battalion. The target was towed
by a seaplane from the Hampton
Roads Naval air station.
THE results accomplished" says the
statement, mark new era in the de-
velopment Of the American system Of
anti aircraft defense.
THE target was in the shape Of a
sleeve three feet in diameter and IA
feet long. 1t was towcd through the
air at a speed Of 60 to so miles an
hour by cable $500 feet long, which
was fastened to Lieutenant Patterson's
plane.
Eight courses were flown from Rip
Raps to Back River light, attitudes va
rying from 500 to 1000 feet The sky
was overcast and the target, which at
times was obscurcd by clouds appear
ed scarcely as large as lady's stock
ing.
The anti-aircraft troops opened fire
with both thrce-inch guns and ma
chine guns. The average range for
firing was 5000 yards.
That there is no danger for the pilot
of the plane towing an aerial target,
provided that the gunners are well
trained. is shown by the fact that al
though the tow line was $500 feet long,
the shot which came closest to the
plane during the entire firing was 1900
/ feet behind the aviator.
The seaplanc used is much heavier
than the average land plane, which
would be used for towing and not so
easily mancuvcred. 1t is believed that
any objection which aviatOrs may have
+ TO towing targets for eHti-arcraft fir
ing have been overcome as the result
Of these tests"

to be cordial, and they are" saiB Mr..
Harvey. "They should continue % be
cordial, and they shall. What more

ticn is accepted and the incident Us

Governor Harvey had been consider
