ALEX SCHAUFFEL'S CLAIM IS
 DISALLOWED BY FARRELL
Brasscos' Backstop Will Not Get Two Weeks Pay He Sought From
 the Toledo A. A. Club

Waterbury, Jan. S.-Secretary John Farrell has handed down decision in which he disaliows the claim of Catcher Alex Schauffel of the Water bury club against the Toledo club. Schauffel was let out by Toledo to Wa terbury last year and the catcher claimed the Eastern League season was two weeks shorter than the American Association schedule and he thereby lost two weeks pay which amounted to about $200.
 Schauffel claimed he lost out on the deal because the Toledo club failed to recall him. It apsars the national agreement does not force club to re- call player if he has been let out to another club, so Schauffel lost his claim.

EMBASSIES TO BE PR0BED
Complaint Will be Made to Foreign Governments if Dry Law In Wash ington is Being Violated.

Washington, Jan. S.--A close check
 has been inaugurated by federal pro-
 hibition authorities on liquor ship ments consigned to foreign embassies and legations here with a view to de- termining whether disproportionate supplies are being brought through the American customs to those fa- vored destinations. If the investigation discloses that an embassy or legation is receiving supplies out of proportion to the needs of It's staff for personal use and official entertaining the state department will be asked to call the situation to the attention of the for eign government involved
 The watch on liquor supplies of foreign legations was an outgrowth of charges that some legations in Washington are being used as the medium of supplying the, local boot leg trade. it was said officially to- day. Federal authorities declared, however, they had not received an official report on the recent police raids which are said by police officers to have developed evidence indicating some definite basis for these charges.

 which he was proud to say had always

 We have come with the express
 intention of repaying our debts" said
 MT. Baldwin 'and it is owing to the
 practical difficulties of making inter-
 national payments that we are about
 to consult with you in order to ac-
 complish the end which we both have
 in view.
 | We meet today under extraordin- ary circumstances We meet to set tie the largest single financial transac- I tion, believe, between two friendly | nations, in the history of the world.
 We are here to arrange the terms of the payment of the British debt to the United States. That debt was con- | tracted in a common cause.
 Tt was the first contribution made by the United States to save civiliza- tion from being engulfed and free people being brought under the de- structfve rule of a military autocracy; it was followed by the contribution of the manpower of the United States whose soldiers fought so gallantly with our allies for the same purpose.
 "The payment of our debt to you involves more than the transfer of huge sums from London to Washing ton. It must affect the future we'll being of both countries and on their rr nr.if Ie t1 1ax ,,+ that of the entire world. The settle ment we make here will determine the condition and material welfare of the great mass of wage earners in Great Britain and the United States, their wives and children.
 The payment of our debt to you will impose upon us the necessity of levying heavy taxes to meet these payments. From the beginning of the war we were the heaviest taxed na- ton in the world. The total annual l per capita taxation in Great Britain | is today still greater than that of any ether people. It amounts to more | than s1oO per head of the population |
 T invite you to consider my views | IS to what this means and how I fear | It will affect your own wage earners | no less than ours. Further taxation would decrease the purchasing power i of the British workingman and re- luce our consumption of American products.

 Officials would not indicate wheth- CT they had any reason to expect a further communication from Paris prior to the actual occupation of the Ruhr by French forces. It evidently Was desired in Washington. however, that the American public should un- derstand that the Washington govern ment had lost no opportunity to pre- sent it's conclusions and suggestions in such fashion that the French at the conference that had been post poned sncluded the direct intimation that adoption of the American, plan might well lead the way to economic help for Europe from the United States.

 No Military Mobilization.
 Premier Poincare does not intend to mobilize single soldier in addi. ton to the regular forces under arms nor call out a single additional rail- road man to effect the operation. Il was declared.
 It seemed certain this afternoon that the reparations commission would vote Germany in voluntary de- fault on coal deliveries for last year, after the final hearing of the Ger man experts which was set for 3 o'clock this afternoon.
 The appearance of the Germans was considered . mere formality, as their arguments are well known to the commission. The question will be decided, 1t Is forecast, by the affirmative votes of France, Belgium and Italy with Sir John Bradbury. the British member, probably abstaining from voting.
 It was uncertain whether the vote would be taken late this evening or tomorrow morning, this depending upon the length of the hearing given the Germans.
 90 America May Speak.
 The French plans for independent action are bound up in the comHl5-l sion's decision. It is considered prob- able that Roland Boyden, the Amer ican representative with the repara- tions commission. will have some- thing to say on the question before the final vote is taken.
 It is customary to call upon the American unofficial delegates when important decisions are to be made. MT. Boyden. 1t is believed, will point out that while the default of GN> many is clear. the circumstances un- der which 1t occurred were such as should cause the commission to &C., company its decision with state- ment of facts. "
 MT. Boyden, 1t is also thought, holds the opinion that the facts of the case show that Germany is un- able to complete the remaining 20 per cent of her deliveries because of such shortage at home and that her punishment, therefore. should be tempered to ht the circumstances.
