Paris.-Premier Poincare told the
Senate that the French Government
had decided to act alone with re-
spect to Germany if the Brussels
Conference failed to give France sat
isfaction. He expressed the opinion
that no general settlement of the
reparations problem was possible un-
less the question of interallied debts
was solved at the same time.
France is not imperialistic," he
declared. II can say that she is the
least imperialistic of the nations, but
she rights to defend. We do not con-
template personal action before the
Brussels Conference, but if we do not
obtain satisfaction there is nothing
in the world that can prevent us from
acting alone in the fullness of oul
rights"
There is not one Frenchman who
doubts the solidity of France. and ne
foreigner has the right to doubt it,
Premier Poincare declared. The
Premier rejected the idea of estab
fishing a customs barrier along thu
Rhine for the benefit of the Allies
on the ground that it would resul
simply in turning traffic in other di
rections."
The question of resorting to com
pulsion against Germany to force he
to execute her obligations will b
taken UP at the Brussels Conference
he said.
The question whether the Allie
will consent to proceed with meas
ures of compulsion against German
will finally be considered at Brus

Berlin.-The reply of the German
Government to the Reparations Com
mission concerning Germany's eco
nomic situation reiterated Germany's
intention to fulfill the obligations.en-
tered into with the Guarantee Com
mittee last July. 1t said the German
Government regarded sterilization as
the most urgent task before it, but
that guarantees for permanent sue
cess for the measures proposed could
only be given on condition that a

tions problem be Immediately taken
in hand.
The reply further. expressed the
opinion that it still was possible to
take steps by means of cooperation
between foreign banking syndicates
and the Reichsbank for supporting
the mark.
Sir John Bradbury, British repre-
sentative on the Reparations Commits
sion, in an interview was Inclined tt
the opinion that the visit to Berlir
of the Preparations Commission hat
been a disappointment, inasmuch al
Germany had not yet formulated def

SONG WRITING IS
RAGING At OWOSSO
But the Royalties Are So
Slow That Many Will Look
Like RIP Van Wrinkle"
PAYMENTS BY ROYALTIES

1t was learned that during the
last few months several Owosso
people have broken into the song
writing game. Ads have appeared
in various periodicals encouraging
the writing of songs. The pub
fishing companies who write the
ads also offer to write the tunes
for songs sent in to them. The
writer must send from 80 to SO
dollars with each song to cover
the cost of publishing and copy
righting. He receives a few copies
of his song very nicely printed
then awaits for royalties. How
long he waits depends on how long
he lives.
The publishing companies" who
do this sort of publishing are
strictly within the law. They have
been doing a land office business.
One local man has written three
songs which cost him $37 each.
Each song costs the publisher"
about $13 for printing and copy
right so his profits are enormous,
about $4,000 a year is realized on
a $500 investment.

institutions and laid stress on some
changes which might be made for
the betterment OF this country.
Speaking of negroes he said a
chance must be given them to i'm
prove their social standing. A
negro who has become cultured
and educated should be given as
much chance to make good as a
white man. Race prejudices must
be done away with. All men have
something of great value in them
