Schedule.

Washington, ID. c.. Jan. S.-The plan
for settlement of the reparations con-
troversy between France and England
outlined by Secretary Hughes in his
New Haven address has been communi-
Gated to the French government through
official channels.
1t was said authoritatively that the
transmittal was perfectly definite" in
character, and it was indicated that II
revolved about the suggestion that in
ternational financiers be called in to
formulate a reparations payments plan.
Official comment as to the nature
Of the reply already received from Paris
was withheld. The statement that the
American suggestion still was definitely
before the French government. however,
was interpreted to mean that the French
answer was not an unqualified rejec'
ton of the scheme.
No final reply has been made by
Paris. although it was learned today
that a preliminary answer had been re-
ceived here from the French foreign of
flee. II was said at the State Depart
ment that the proposal was regarded as
still before the French government for

NEAR WEATHER RECORD
Sunday Was Hottest January Day Here
in Twelve Years.

The mercury in the weather bureau
thermometer here Sunday afternoon rose
at 4 o'clock, to S6.4- degrees, only 4
fraction Of degree under the record
for January since the establishment OF
the bureau in San Antonio 80 years
ago. At that. it was the hottest Jan
uary afternoon in II years, as the hlgh
record was set on January 80, 1911,
when the red in the tube rose to SI.3.
The unusual heat was caused, accord
ing to Observer J. III. Jarboe, by the
deep low pressure area centered over
the north central states and extending
its influence southwark TO the limits
of Texas.
Warm weather prevailed over the en-
tire South and only the lake region and
few points in the Rockies reported
freezing weather at any time during the
last "A hours.
The official forecast for San Anto-
MO and the vicinity calls fer increasing
cloudiness Monday night and possibly
unsettled weather Tuesday, although
no change of great moment is expected.
1t will be slightly cooler, minimum tenn
peratures 10 be between 81 and 5S de-
grees. Moderate to fresh southerly TO
westerly winds will prevail
Possible clouds here are expected
in the official forecast when the mod
crate area of high barometer over the
Pacific Coast region early Monday re-
places the local slow" influence during
the night.
A small slow" passing out into the
Atlantic Monday brought rain to New
York. snow TO Pennsylvania and gem
orally cloudy weather along the Allan
tic Coast.

Moscow, Jan. S-The Young Com
munists, observing the Christmas OF
the Julian calendar yesterday, launched
their widely heralded "attack upon
Heaven" in grotesque carnival pro-
cession that was mockery of the
worlds great religion.
No reminders of the church process
sions that in the past have marked
the advent of the Christmas festival
were in evidence.
There was music and singing aplenty,
but the songs were jeering parodies of
the splendid carols or chants of the
Russian Church.
Goblin-like burlesques Of the gods OF
all peoples alternated with motor trucks
upon which rode students and young
women dressed as caricatures of re-
ligious dignitaries. Placards proclaim

ligion is the opiate of the people" and

Paris. Jan. S.-Forty French min
inc engineers were sent to Dusseldorf
last night preparatory TO taking over
the Ruhr coal mines, when the order
10 act is given. Another group OF
engineers leave Paris today. Although
the French still nlan to limit the mill
tary features of their move to the mini
mum. the army Of occupation is being
enforced by regiments both OF infantry
and, artillery from Lorraine.
The withdrawal of the American
troops from the COblenz area at this
time. however, would undoubtedly be
interpreted as serious protest against
the French policy and perhaps even
MS the final severance of the United
States from its war time associates and
would painfully impress French opinion.
especially il it should be interpreted
by the Germans as an encouragement
TO resistance. a
Practically an American withdrawal
would. If anything. be helpful TO the
French. for it would enable them to
occupy the Coblenz bridgehead without
more ado and would simplify the
organization of their communications.
What May Happen.
To forecast what is about TO hap
pen in Europe. is, of course. impossible.
At the same time more obvious impOs-
sibilities in connection with the intcn-
ton of the French to act in the Ruhr
and the Rhineland TO force Germany
into serious effort to pay PREPARATIONS
may be enyisaged as follows:
1: After prolonged efforts and many
difficulties, the French may find the
idea of forcing payments from Ger
many TO be impracticable. DisillusiOn-
cd. they then may withdraw their
troops and officials and resume ncgo-
tiations with the British on the basis
of something like the British repara-
tions plan. Obviously. this is what the
British hope will happen, but | con-
