Incoming German Envoy

Rapidly Changing Diplomatic Corps Puts British
Ambassador Well up In Line-Cadets
Win Scholastic Honors

Young Mr.. Saltzman is from Balti-
more and entered the competition in
that city with the permission of the
powers that be on the Hudson. He
made the most brilliant record OF the
year and enters "summa cum laude."
He has two associates from the ma
tional military training school, the
others being Standish Weston of New
Hampshire and Francis r. Johnson
OF Seattle, Wash. Princeton sent two
men to Oxford and Harvard and
Brown two also. Yale, like West
Point, won three out of the total 80
which must be contested for in every
State and insular possession under the
flag of the United States, with the
victors selected from the highe st
averages. The competition this year
was keener than ever before and the
rating of all who entered was but a
few points below 95.. The Rhodes
scholarships mean three years at Ok
ford all expenses paid and an annual
income of 500 a year to meet living
and incidental expenses connected
with fraternities and literary and
athletic societies and to pay board
during the several scholastic vaca-
tions. Under these conditions nearly
a hundred Americans-for they are
appointed every year and to fill un-
expected vacancies-are always at
oxford, and they form a solid, COM
pact body, adhering to their own ira
ditions while taking on the culture
of the Old World.

British Begin Study
OF Americas Note
On ReparatiOn Rights
By DAVID M. CHURCH,
international News Service.

LONDON, Jan. 5.--The British
cabinet took under consideration
today Americas note which, it is
understood states frankly that the
United States has legal right
for payment Of its war claims
through the Dawes PREPARATION plan.
The note was received by the
foreign office today and sent inn1e-
diately to the cabinet. The Ameri-
note Of last Wednesday.
Out OF the cabinet meeting was
expected to come a definite state,
ment Of policy, not only on Aneri-
cas- war claim, but also on the
Frarco-An1erican debt and war
debts in general.
The specific purpose of the Cabi-
net meeting, 1t was announced, was
to give Chancellor of the Elk
chequer Churchill final instructions
governing hts appearance at the al
lied financial conference in Paris
this week.
Britain will not, it was said, &C.
cept the terms which France has
made in informal memoranda to the
United States for payment of the
Franco-American debt. These terms
specify a ten-year moratorium and
eighty years to discharge the debt.
1t appears likely, diplomats con-
coded, that the financial conference
il. Paris will break down. An ef-
fort then will be made by Great
Britain to bring about an inter
allied debt conference, diplomats
heard. This conference would take
up the question of the participa ton
OF the United States IN the repara-
ton payments.
Great Britain was said to be ready
to make concessions, but there were
indications today that the Paris con-
ference would be long drawn out
and punctuated with considerable
haggling.

Congress Members Rap
D. C. Heads and People
For Blockade by Snow

Members Of the House District
Committee were outspoken in their
condemnation OF the failure to re-

gresham Gale Fl. SPEAKER Of New

He said that he had driven to
Washington in his automobile from

here yesterday and found the roads
open and free of snow until he got
this side of Rockville.
"When 1 got across the District
line" he said, 1T found the streets
in deplorable condition. There is
something radically wrong here.
Citizens do not clean their sidewalks
and even the business houses make
no effort to remove snow from in
front Of their establishments. The
law ought to be enforced in the
District.
1.-The District Commissioners should

''It is almost a physical lmpos
sibility to remove the snow from

work." he said.
Congressman Charles l.. Under

residents of the District do then
duty in removing the snow from

The broad principIs that every
man or woman who drives an auto

BY Judge Cobb, who declared that
It was sound enough to predicate

previous criminal records.
In discussing q penalty for the

Argue Over Age Limit.
Congressman Thomas Il. Blanton
took Issue with Judge Cobb when
the latter urged an age limit Of
eighteen years as contrasted with
the sixteen year-oId age limit in
the District. Judge Cobb said that
Ii had been found that as rule
persons under eighteen years Of
age did not have the proper poise
or responsibility in driving.
Establishment Of d night court in
Washington was hardly favored by
Judge Cobb for traffic cases only.
lie did say, however, that he would
abolish the collateral system which
he regarded as most pernicious
one"
Power Of revocation OF licenses

pension of licenses was discussed
in detail by Judge Cobb He said
he did not agree with the bin Civ

to revoke them.
Judge. Cobb put into the record q

He pointed out that learners are apt
to cause many accidents and stressed
the necessity OF restricting them un-
til they are capable of driving.
The color scheme system contained
in the present tentative bill was not
deemed practicable by the witness,
but he said he would favor the Svs-

The A II c of a." "B" and &C
Batteries. Part III.

In the circuits which I have dis
cussed SO far l have only mentioned
the batteries by position and function
in the circuit. The "A battery is
always the battery which furnishes
the current to heat the filament of
the tube.
The "B" battery is the battery
which furnishes the plate or phone
circuit current that is shaped by the
controlling action of the grid charges
produced by the signal.
The &C" battery is the battery
which is used in the grid circuit to
put a negative bias on the grid of
the tube.
tice in connecting the negative and
positive terminals of the batteries in
your circuit. you will not only get
best results in operating il, but you
will eliminate any possible errors in
making battery connections to the
set later.
r Terminal of Socket Explained.
In connecting the "A battery into
the filament circuit. the positive ter
minal of the "A" battery should be
connected directly with one of the fila
ment terminals of each socket. 1t
does not make any difference which
+ terminal of the socket you connect
with the positive terminal of the bat
terry. although some sockets have one
+ terminal marked plus and the other
minus.
The rheostat or rheostats, as the
case may be, which control the fila
ment current from the "a battery
should always be placed in the mega
tive lead of the az battery. In con-
Meeting them into a circuit or set, the
negative terminal of the "a battery
should be connected with one terminal
of the rheostat while the other
terminal of the rheostat is connected
with the remaining F terminal of the
socket.
The negative terminal of the "B"
battery should be connected with the
positive terminal of the "A battery.
The positive terminal of the &C.
battery should be connected with the
negative terminal of the "A battery.
These are the standard connections

for all three batteries as far as their
common connections are concerned
mere are two WAYS of making the
connections between the batteries and
the set. Each battery terminal can
be connected with A separate termi-
nal on the binding post strip of the
set, or the common connections of
the batteries can be made before
making the connections to the bind
ing post strip.
Ii the first method is used. a sep
arate binding post should be provided
on the binding post strip for every
battery connection. The usual bind
ing posts are: &C battery minus: &C
battery plus A battery minus;
"A battery plus; "B battery minus:
B battery plus detector as volts)":
'B battery plus amplif1er go volts. -
These should be made in the order
named.
1t is possible to do away with two
of these posts and also simplify the
wiring by using a single binding post
for the "A battery minus and sc
battery plus connections and sin
gle binding post for the "A battery
Plus and "B battery minus Connec-
tions.
When this method is used. the pos
ltlVe battery and negative A bat
terry terminals should be connected
together and then a single wire can
be used to join them with the com
b1nation "A minus and c plus" bind
ing post. In the same manner. the
negative B and positive A battery
terminals can be connected together
and single wire can be used to Join
them with the combination "a plus
and B minus" post of the set.
All connections from batteries 10
binding posts should be made with
standard rubber recovered wire in order
to avoid the possibility of fire through
short circuit, which would often occur
