j. s. AID WITHHELD,
ALLIES TO ASK CIVIC
BODY FOR EXPERTS
Consider Asking Interna-
tional Chamber to Nominate
American Citizens.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS, December 1.-The unwill-
ingness of the American government
to appoint members of the reparation
commissions investigating commit
tees is a disappointment to the
French government and the members
Of the commission, inasmuch as they
feel that the lack of American par
ticipation would greatly diminish the
authority and prestige with which
the committees could have worked
The American attitude was not unex-
pected, however. and what should be
done in such circums tances has al
ready been informally considered
The situation in Germany is such
that it is felt that the expert COM
mittees, even without the aid of he
Unied States, must undertake to de-
wise a constructive plan to restore
the German governments finances
and the currency.
1t is expected another effort will
be made to obtain American non-
official advice through the commits
sion turning toward the international
chamber Of commerce, of which Will
lis H. Booth of New York, is presi-
dent, with request that the chamber
designate an American Of distinction
in the financial world to serve in an
advisory way. The chamber includes
thirty-two countries and is regard
ed in reparation quarters as suf-
ficiently detached from governments
and partisan interests to be qualified
to act. Its representatives, it is
pointed out, would not be tied by in
structions from any government.
Mr.. Booth is in Paris now, but he
let it be known that he preferred
not to discuss the subject unless it
should take more definite form.
The British were quite as anxious
as the French to have the American
government join in the investigation.
Sir John Bradbury. British member
of the reparation committee in dis
cussing yesterday the creation of the
committees of experts laid great
stress upon the vital necessity of
American collaboration, but it is not
yet known what attitude the British
government will take toward con-
tinuation of the committees in view

Of the dixie was followed by tragic
scenes. The whole valley of Dezzo is
devastated and eight villages at least
have been bIotted out. Dezzo itself was
completely destroyed by the waters,
which covered every house. Only the
church steeple can be seen. Five gen
Grating plants were SO badly damaged
that the city of Pergamo is without

The stricken people number into the

struction work.

MILAN, December 1.-The huge ar
tificial lake at Dezzo, near Bergamo,
has overfiowed and broken the dixie,
the waters sweeping down through
the valleys, overwhelming villages,
and drowning inhabitants by the
scores. The number of victims is
computed at three hundred or more
by some authorities.
The heavy rains which have been
falling for the past few weeks caused
the streams to overflow and filled the
lake to the bursting point. Millions
of cubic yards of water were let
loose, and the terrific force of the
food swept everything before it. The
village of Dezzo, originally contain
ing 500 inhabitants, and the adjacent
villages Menaggio and Teveno, were
directly in the line of the rushing
waters and were inundated. Many of
the people, however, were apprised
of the break in the dixie and fed, to-
