LONDON DELEGATES
DECISION ON RUHR
EVACUATION TODAY

London. Aug. 13-(By A. P.)-The
decision of the German, French and
Belgian delegates on the Ruhr evac-
uation problem will probably be COM
municated to the PREPARATION confer
ence tomorrow. Announcement of
this was made by Premier Herriot
of FRANCE to the big fourteen" this
afternoon.
It is this question which has brought
negotiations to a standstill, and I'M
til the problem is solved by the three
directly interested powers and the
British there can be no progress
towards closing up the program for
the inauguration of the Dawes plan.
Private meetings are going on be-
tween the Germans, Belgians, French
and the British prime minister. and
there are rumorS of many trades be-
ing made behind the scenes in an eff
tort to satisfy the French demands
which are being advanced as the
price OF moving the military forces
out of the Ruhr.
The Belgians are not supportinr
the French in their efforts to prolong
the occupation of the Ruhr. Premier
Theunis frankly says he docs not
want to continue holding Belgian
troops In the Ruhr as the Belgian
people are tired of the expense.
The German industrialists. especially
the dye manufacturers. are bitterly
opposing the French demands for
deliveries of dyes beyond 1880. and
there are many other questions in
conference with the proposed deliv-
cries of goods under the report of
the third committee, which the big
fourteen discussed vainly at this
afternoons meeting.
The French are endeavoring to get
assurances as to the terms of the new
commercial treaty to be negotiated
Win Germany at an early date and
there is a battle royal between the
delegates and experts of the two
countries. Predictions that the con-
ference will be concluded Thursday
nave given way to forecasts that Fri
day Is the earliest possible time Of
settlement and many of the delegates
believe that settlement cannot come
this week. There is a general feel
lnS, however, that the points of diff
terence between the French and the
Germans now have been brought
within negotiable limits. Both coun-
tries want settlement SO badly that
no delegate believes the conference
Will break up without action.
The American ambassador, Frank
kellogg, announced at a meeting
of the allied delegates this afternoon
that the American government de-
sired to be represented at the meet
ing of finance ministers to be held
shortly in Paris to discuss the allo-
cation of the monies received from
Germany. Americas claims for the
maintenance of the American forces
In the Rhineland and her mixed
claims. including the Lusitania
claims, are chargeable against these
monies.

EXCHANGED PIPES FOR LAND
Three Hundred Were Part Of the Price
William Penn Paid for Tract In
Seventeenth Century.

Pipes in the Seventeenth century
were largely made In Holland Of pipe
clay imported from Engand-to the
disgust and loss of English plpemakers.
In 1868 the company of tobacco-pipe-
makers petitloned parliament to forbid
the export of tobacco pipe clay, since
by the manufacture of pipes in Hol-
land their trade was much damaged.
The company's request was granted,
hut in the next year 1t again found 1t
necessary to 90 to parliament, show
ing their threatened ruin because
cooks, bakers and ale-house keepers
and others made pipes, but so unsklll-
fully that they we're brought into dis
esteem, and requesting that none be
allowed to follow the trade who had
not been apprentices seven years.
During the latter part of the Seven
tenth century English pipes were pre-
scented by colonists in America to the
Indians. They subsequently became
valuable rs objects of barter or part
purchase value in exchange for land.
In 1867 100 pipes and 100 jew's-harps
were given for strip of country near
Timber creek In New Jersey. William
Penn, the founder Of Pennsylvania,
purchased a tract of land, and 300
pipes were included in the articles
given In the exchange.
