Tourist Camp Proposed.

The War Department has passed
favorably upon a request to use land
at Willoughby Spit, near Norfolk, Va,
as tourists camp, Senator Swanson
of Virginia was informed yesterday.
This means, Senator Swanson ex-
planned, that a camp for automobile
tourists and others may now be es-
tablished at Ocean View, Va. The
War Department has specified that no
permanent improvements are to be
made on the land in question which
would interfere with the immediate
surrender of the land in case of sale.

Youngster Trys Get
Rich Quick Scheme

A financier in the making was
calling at, various stores along the
street yesterday, and although the
result of his ventures Is not known
il is supposed that he must have re-
tired from business q rich man. The
plan was to so in several stores
along the street and ask for caler-
dars which were freely given en-
closed In large plain brown en-
velope. Then the lad, aged about
eight, but small for his age would
cali at some Of the stores and Of
fees along the end of the street,
and offer the calendars for sale. The
majority of persons, with Christ
mas spirit with one hand in his
pocket asked the price, whereup the
boy answered speculatively. 1.-TWO
for a dollar" at which the would be
purchaser started. but with q, few
cases gamely came across with tho
required sum. 1t would be safe to
say that the scheme could not be
worked at any time except the day
before Christmas.

5T|NNES SANGU|NE IOF AMERICAN A|D
Expects United States Loan After Preparations
 Agreement

fr,ss.S-Herr 9 Shines. M'0a the Aessrnssn German inoustrial magnate, has discussed tne question of reparations with a Speeiri correspondent of the Journal Des pebats. with particular refer snce tc the attitude of the United states. "I am persuaded" said Herr Sfinnes. that the mere fact that the Germanys and French present them selves before the United States in settlement would open up consider able perspectives. Americans will not lend us money to waste in mak- ing war between ourselves, but I am convinced that when we reach an agreement money will be forthcom- ing at conditions which will surpri SC us The money is there waiting to be put into good use.
 My son Is at present in America. He Is perfectly aware of the situa- tion. We tprobably meaning his firmp who formerly enjoyed unlim- longer find lenders because we have now taken the place of the Reich for & settlement of its debts. The only difficulties between America and France and America and Germany are the difficulties existing between France and Germany"
 The agreements between the Ruhr ndustrialists and inter-allied mission cs&eontrol. Herr Shines pointed out wei SS the first step toward a repa- trationi settlement but the effect of yvthis was to throw on the Ruhr indus trialists the burden of Germany debt.
 I've agreed to repay for tho Reich until April 1s,. he continued, "but this Is the extrome limit and . sound and honest settlement based on the facts must bs found fin the mean time" ' Outlining his fdsa of such set clement he said Germany was unable to pay huge lump sums; the only possible method consisted in deliv- srfes in. kind. The sovernments should fix in gold amounts such payments, the delivery of which hould be assured by iong-term con- raots between allied and German in-
 ustrials.
 The German government would
 ay German mines and factories fol
 eltvefies to be handed over to the
 lied industrialists, who would pay
 neir own goveRnments. the sums
 bus paid to be credited to the repa-
 ationS account. He ins sisted that the
 bng term contracts must be between
 hs industrialfsts and not the gov
