IN ten hours daily since reaching

rercourse they have had thus far
with the members of the reparation
commission, they have surprised
them by their knowledge of the
situation.
They discuss the Spa agreements
and the London schedule Of payments

separation headquarters, as the MEM
bers have been eager to supply the
Americans with various details and do

Stamp. the British delegates, have
been here since Friday and have con-

where it Is freely said the Belgians
will hitch their wagon to the United
States stars should the committee
reach a deadlock.
