French and Belgian Ex-

U. S. ARMY BILL UP
England May Receive
Guarantee on American
Debt Interest.
BY the Associated Press.

Paris, April ia re-welding of
the inter-allied front is expected to re-
suit from today's meeting of the
Franco-Belgian ministers here, at
which a reparations plan drafted by
the French experts will be compared
to one drawn up by the Belgians.
1t is understood that the two diff
fer only slightly, inasmuch as Premier
Poincare. through Louis Loucheur,
and the Belgian government, through
its representatives in London, have
sounded the British government as to
its attitude toward the question. 1t
is believed. therefore, that the discus
sions today will prove fruitful.
To Lessen German Debt.
The French plan was prepared by
the foreign office experts in close
collaboration with the reparations
commission, lie Matin. which prints
a resume of the draft, says it leaves
the total German Indebtedness at
132, 000, 100000 gold marks, but pro-
vides for n method of payment which
would lessen the burden of the debt,
and at the same time, accelerate the
installments during the next few
years.
II France. in that period. is able,
through international credit opera
tons. to get 10000, 100000 gold
marks. representing the "a and b"
German bonds as we'll as her past
and future expenditure for the devast-
ated regions, she is ready to make con-
ccssions for the remainder, says the
newspaper.
Part of the German debt, mobiliza-
ton of which is declared to be urgent.
corresponds to the sums required for
the reparation of devastated France,
Italy, Jugo Slavia, Roumania, with
priority for Belgian, plus the money
spent by that country on the same
account.
Z. s. Army Costs Included.
Also included are the costs of the
American and allied armies Of &C.
cupation, reimbursement for the prem
iums paid to German miners, and
various lesser items.
The remainder of the first 50,000,-
000, 900 marks, adds lie Matin, may
either be cancelled or postponed, but
which would be called upon
to make q serious sacrifice il this
plan is decided upon, must receive
guarantee that her annual interest
payments to the United States will be
made up to her out of the German
payments at suitable intervals.

Dallas, Tex, April 1S.-Radicals

To Drive Out Radicals.
Mr.. Burns is on a tour of the South

said.
"With two laws now being formu

until we could drive the radicals from

Klansmen Not Dropped.
Concerning reports that federal EN-.

the Ku Klux Khan must either resign
membership or quit the service, Mr..
Burns said he had heard something
about a statement to that effect by
II. Il. Creager, chairman of the Texas
Republican executive committee. but
that there had never been any official
orders along that line, so far as he
knew.
Agents of the Department OF JUS

British Churches
Protest Souiet's
War Against Heaven
By HAL O'FLAHERTY
Special Wireless Dispatch to The s. !
Light and Chicago Daily News.
Canyrf-ht

Copyright. 1928.
London, April 13.-Described as
the most remarkable religious
document Of modern times, there
appears in the newspapers today q
strong protest against religious
persecution in Russia. 1t is sign
ed by representatives of nearly all
churches and forms of religious be-
lief in the United Kingdom. Never
before has such a combined protest
been made, defending the funda-
mental principles of religion, elo-
quently pleading the cause of spiri-
tual freedom and upholding the
faith of generations of civilized
humaD beings.
The Soviet government has Open
ly and deliberately declared war
on heaven, and here in Great Bri-
tain the spiritual leaders of the
people. who in the past, have been
in a state of warfare among them
selves, unite their voices in an
earnest appeal to all men and wo-
men of good will to protest against
this systematic persecution. They
stretch forth sympathetic hands to
the Russian people. disclaiming any
i'll will toward the human masses
controlled temporarily by a bias
phemous minority.
Immediate action Is expected by
every church in the United King
dom. in which sermons will be
preached next Sunday on the neces-
sity of united action by all people
believing in God. The British gov
eminent is receiving the strongest
possible appeals for the withdrawal
of the British mission in Moscow
and the deportation of the soviet
mission in London.

BY the Associated Press.


Santiago, Chile, April 1S.-The pro-
posed new Pan-American convention
offered by the United States for the
protection of trade marks has en-
countered so much opposition in the
commerce committees, chiefly from
Argentine. that it seems likely it will
be referred back to the inter-American
high commission for further study.
Argentine desires he convention
amended so that firms registering
trade marks in the registration office
may select the countries in which they
desire protection, replacing the pro-
vision making protection automatic in
all countries by single registra-
ton.
Argentine also favors granting the
privilege of registration to European
firms.

Henry L. Farrell, sports editor of the United Press, wns of
the few sports writers who did not pick the New York Giants to win
the worlds series from the New York Yankees.
After 4 series of articles in which the two teams were compared,
position by position and in which the Superiority complex" of the
Giants was explained as their greatest asset, Farrell concluded the
final article, which appeared in the Red Letter for release on October
0, with this prediction;
"The Giants, it is true, have many reasons and causes why they
should win. but We do not believe they WILL"
In a series of Red Letter articles last April, in which he discussed
the prospects of the sixteen major league clubs in the pennant races,
Farrell called the turn in the National League, and he picked the
two positions in the American League.
In a Red Letter story, released for April 16, Farrell predicted
that the National League clubs would finish as follows:
New York. Cincinnati. Pittsburgh, st. Louis, Chicago, Brooklyn,
Boston and Philadelphia.
with the exception of the Cubs. who finished fourth, and the Cards
who finished fifth, Farrell picked the teams for the position in which
they finished.
