make no protest against passage of
French troops through the American

interpret it. The views of the Ameri-

GERMANY EXPLAINS aas
ITS FAILURE TO PAY

BERLIN, Jan. -8,-The German gov
eminent today replied 20 the French
accusations of Germanys alleged de-
faults in the delivery of various ma
terials on the reparations account.
The government admits having nor
fulfilled the obligations
as regards deliveries of coal, timber
and paving stones. but attributes this
partly to the fact that the demands
greatly exceeded Germany's capacity;
due partly to strikes, transportation
difficulties and other circumstances
over which the government says 1t
has no control and to great extent
to what it describes the "unwar-
ranted" conduct of French author
tiles. For these reasons the govern
nieht disputes the accusation that the
default is voluntary.
AS to the nitrate deliveries, the
German statement maintains that
only preliminary negotiations We.
held and that there was no violation
OF the peace treaty in this connection
because no definite demands were
made by the Preparations committee.

THIRD HOUSE GATHERS

At the organization of every iegis-
lature members of the third house
gather here in greater numbers than
the members of the regular house
and the regular senate. Be it known
that the third house is composed of
those who make habit of coming to
the capital at the beginning of the
session and remaining at the capt.
tai until the end of the session.
Members of the third house are
either interested in the enactment
of legislation or in defeat of legis-
lation or want to know what legis-
lation affecting them or their en-
ployers is not offered.
The contest for speaker of the
third house is interesting, probably
as much SO as speaker of the reg
ular house. w. A. Gibson of Bir-
mingham has been here many years
and, as legislatures come and go.
the story is that when the time
comes for the election Mr.. Gibson
may have a fast majority for speak
err of the third house.
