PARIS HAS BASIS

French Experts Think Dawes
Paper Will Guide Future
Negotiations.
By International News Service.

PARIS, April 9.-While foreign
offlce-eXperts had not had time this
afternoon to examine the Dawes re.
port in detail, it was intimated that
it will be the foreign office policy
to use the report merely as a basis
of future negotiations. :.
1t is the desire of the experts
that the report be accepted or re.
jected in whole. They made it plain
in their report that they believe the
recommendations and suggestions
should be the last word on repa.
rations.
The first newspaper on the street
with a summary of the official re.
port was Information.
''The experts implicitly recognize
that Franco-Belgian policy induced
Germany to capitulate," commented
Information. French opinion
favorably acclaims the project, rec
ognizing that it brings something
new, substituting solid values based
upon railroad receipts and taxes for

down upon herself the sentiment of

Reparations Reports
Both Presented by
Americans
By InternatiOnal News Seryice.

PARIS, April 9.-The worlds
foremost economists gathered
here at 10 o'clock this morn
ing when the two international
committees of Preparations ex-
perts submitted their report on
Germany. Chairman Charles
Gates Dawes, of the first COM
mittee, submitted his own re-
port. In the absence of Reginald
McKenna, chairman of the Sec
ond committee, the second report
was translated by H. M. Robin
son, of Los Angeles. Thus the
honor of handing in both reports
fell to citizens of the United
States.
Chairman Louis Barthou, of
the interallied reparations COM
mission, after receiving the re-
ports in the name of the COM
mission, made a speech thank
ing the committee men for their
labors. General Dawes planned
to go to Brussels this afternoon,
departing thence on Friday for
Rome, where he has an appoint
ment to confer with Premier
Mussolini. Both General Dawes
and Robinson plan to sail for
home April %.

omy, II 1t could be built.
The celebrity Of the Lick tele-
scope, on account Of the great
leap in size which its construc-
ton. represented, and also on ac-
count Of the remarkable work
which began to be performed
with 1t from its opening in 1883,
and which all the world talked
about, remains so great that
many persons still are under the
impression that 1t is the largest
telescope in existence.
In fact, while it remains one Of
the most powerful and useful of
modern telescopes, it is no longer
by any means. the largest. It
has an object-glass thirty-six
inches in diameter, or just three
feet. The Yerkes telescope of
the University OF Chicago has an
object-glass forty inches in diam.
eter, while the great Hooker
telescope, opened on Mt. Wilson,
in 1919, has a mirror 100 inches
in diameter, or no less than eight
feet and third This is, to date,
the largest telescope in existence,
and its optical qualities are excel
lent.
1t will be noticed that the Lick
and Yerkes telescopes are both
refractors-a refractor being the
name given to a telescope which

ject. This amount varies with
the square of the diameter Of the
pupil OF the eye in one case and
with the square Of the diameter
OF the telescope objective in the
other. Now, the average pupil IL
about one-fifth Of an inch; that
is 1-1S0th the diameter Of the
Lick telescope objective. The
square of $50 is 32,400, so that
that telescope exceeds the un.
aided eye more than $4,000 times
in its ability to collect light from
a star. In other words, the star
should appear $4,000 times as
bright in the telescope as when
viewed with the naked eye.
Inasmuch as the pupil Of the

same figures as above, the
Yerkes telescope collects 10000
times more light than the eye,
and the Hooker telescope 100000
times more than the eye.
Another consideration which
must reduce these figures is that
not all the light gets through the
object'glass, or is reflected from
the object-mirror, so that again
the eye gains in comparison; but
when all is said, the enormous
superiority OF the telescope IL
self-evident.
Now, just how does the tels-
scope utilize the advantage which
it gains from its great light
grasping capacity? 1t does 1t
with the aid Of the eyepiece,
composed of magnifying lenses,
which magnify the image of the
object formed at the focus, Just
as a pocket magnifying glass
maguifies any object looked at
through 1t.
The more light the telescope
grasps the brighter the image
formed. and the brighter the
image the higher the magnifying
power that may be employed, be.
cause magnification uses up"
the light by spreading out the
image.
Another immense advantage ri
having a large objective, collect
ing a great quantity Of light, is
that 1t enables the telescope
when used for Photographic pur-
poses to picture on a sensitive
plate excessively faint objects,
like distant nebulae, which may
be totally invisible to the eye,
even through the telescope. This
is the chief work of the Hooker
telescope.
1t is quite possible that a
larger telescope than the Hooker
monster may yet be made, but no
telescope of such a size can be
effectively used. except in To-
cality where the air Is both very
clear and very steady.
