SAY MISLEADING
NOT REIMBURSED

Troy, Me-, Jan. 81, 1924.
Editor Kennebec Journal:
Augusta, Me.
Dear Sir:
Attention is called TO an article
which appeared in the Kennebec
Journal of Jan. IL. 1924, concerning
the defaulting treasurer Of Troy
Frank w. Thompson.
This article is misleading and has
given a false impression to the citi-
Gems of this town and adjoining
towns. 1t states that Thompson left
property which covered his bondsmen
who have reimbursed the town. etc.
This Is contrary to the facts. The
bondsmen have not been covered.
they have not settled with the town
and Thompson has not enough pros
perty to reimburse the bondsmen
who must meet wit. a loss in making
good the amount he embezzled.
The defalcation Is also more than
has been reported 8 during the year
bills have been received for payment
that Thompson's accounts indicated
had been paid.
1t would be considered a personal
favor II you would correct the inn
preston given by the article in your
paper of jan II and also In similar
articles previously printed The data
in these avticles seems TO have been
furnished either by someone unac-
quainted with the facts or with q de-
sire to create a sentiment favorable
to Thompson.
Yours truly,
CLARENCE WHITNEY Il
WILMQT l. GRAY.

BOX makes new
100000 Offer TO
Senate COMMITTEE

Washington, Jan. pa proposal
from Edward w. Box that the SEN
ate committee investigating propa-
ganda select from the 22,164 plans
submitted in his American peace
award the one it regards as best will
be presented to the committee to-
morrow. Mr.. Box was informed late
today by Chairman Moses.
Senator Moses wrote, however, that
The suggestion is wholly beside the
mark" adding that if the committee
wishes to have these documents it
has the power of subpoena to secure
them
Mr.. Box in letter to Senator
Moses today in reply to one written
him yesterday by the chairman, said
he would be glad to give to the au-
thor of the plan selected by the COM
mittee $4,000 when your committee
has selected the better plan" and
$4,000 additional IF and when the
plan in substance and intent, is ap-
proved by the United States senate"
He also offered to pay the cost of a
national referendum on the commit
tees selection.
Mr.. Bok's new offer duplicates that
to the author of the plan selected
by the jury of award and which pro-
poses American cooperation with the
league of nations. There is the diff
ference, however. that in the case of
the American peace award the sec
end $4,000 is to be paid after the
plan has been approved in a nation
wide referendum. j

PROPOSE GERMAN
GOLD BANK AS FIRST

President of German Reichs-
bank Approves of Ex-
pert's Decision
Believed German Bankers and Ex-
perts Are In Accord ON Point-If
Adopted. Plan Provides for Inter-
national Loan Which with Ger
man-owned Foreign Money Would
Guarantee Gold Value

Paris. Jan. 2o.-(By A. P.)-The ex-
Craftsmanship of Brig. Gen. Charles G.
Dawes. and which is dealing with the
German budget. today took the most
important step yet made toward a set
Element of the PREPARATION question. in
the opinion of members of the repara-
ton commission. This was when the
committee decided to report in favor
of establishing German gold bank
as the first essential to Sterilization
of German money and balancing the
German budget.
Great significance is attached to the
fact that the communique announcing
the decision Of the committee was re-
TERED to Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, presi-
dent OF the Reichsbank. who gave IL
his approval. Thts is taken as Justify
ing the assumption that the German
banken and the experts are in accord
on this point. ut least.
The decision of the experts, II II is
approved by the reparation commits
sion, amounts 10 a recommendation for
an international loan. parts of the
funds to guarantee the goad value of
the money Of the now bank along with
German-owned foreign money. The
coupling of German capital abroad with
an international loan for this purpose
Is regarded as clever expedient to in
duce Germany to make an effort to get
back into that country capital export
ed abroad. ~
Foreign cooperation in the manage
ment of the bank, as recommended by
tho committee, is also regarded as an
important feature that would give con-
ldence to money issued by the bank,
since outside. participation would
amount to insurance against new in
fiation. That the experts consider they
nave made long step forward is indi-
Gated by the fact that they purpose to
transfer the seat of their activities
from Paris to Berlin a week from to-
morrow.
The intention of the committeeman
mas been to. get well along with the
problem between themselves before I'M
Gertaklng the German end of their task.
Today's decision took PariS by sur
prise. The apparent slowing down in
the work of the COMMITTEES after its
whirlwind commencement. had brought
about the impression that the commit
tee was falling into the usual European
ollatory tactics and respect for the
energy of General Dawes tonight was
greater than ever.
The second committee Of experts
continued its work this afternoon while
General Dawes and his colleagues and
DIR. schacht were drawing up the COM
munique which later was made public.
DR.. Scbacht is understood to have fin
ished his statement before the first
committee. but other German authori-
tics on finance and economies will be
heard on the different phases of the
currency and budget problems.
