Rech Refuses to

Occupation by Allies

Berlin, Nov. 80 ((By A. PIN a
note which the German government
has sent to the reparations commits
sion concerning the recent agree
ments signed by the occupation au-
thorities and the German Industrial
lists, the Reisch declines to recognize
the legality of the occupation, the
policy of the pledges or of the agree
ments. and give detailed arguments
supporting it's contention that all de-
liveries in kind should be credited
wholly to the Reisch's reparation
account
The government requests the rep
aration commission to adopt a reso-
luton in this sense as speedily as
possible. 1t claims that all repara-
tons auctions require unanimous ac-
ton by the allies and that no indi-
vidual power has the right to take

Sheep Buried in Snow Three weeks

Sheep Buried in Snow Three Weeks
A correspondent recalls an incl
dent which happened some years
ago on the moors between Hudders-
field and Oldham. England. A heavy
fall of snow had drifted up and
many OF the sheep which had been
grazing on the moor were buried.
For three weeks the snow held fast.
and drift after drift was searched by
shepherds for the missing sheep.
At the end of the third week three
sheep were discovered buried be-
meath a drift in one of the cloughs.
They were in a very emaciated state,
and had apparently lived by eating
the wool off each others back. for
all three were as bare as newly
shorn sheep. One died soon after
but the other two completely recov-
cred from their enforced starvation.
