 Other Reservations
 The Roumanians announced that they were making reservations with a view to demanding an increased percentage of separations, while the Italians objected to the ruling of the conference on Italy'a repayment of the excess she has received in separations over the percentage to which she is entitled.
 These reservations, however, did not prevent unanimous signature of the agreement, and the objections of the two countries will be considered by the allies later.
 Tn signing the agreement for Brazil, Dr. Souza Dantas later told tho press. he made the reservation that nothing in the agreement should affect the Brazilian claims for compensation, nor her claims under article 263 of the treaty of Versailles regarding the recovery of about 100000 gold marks held in German banks for payment for cof- fee exported from Brazil to Germany before the outbreak Of war.
 In spite of the reservations made by Rumania, Italy and Brazil, and the surprise move by MT. Logan for the United States, the tone of the final session of the conference was extremely cordial. The final Ameri- can move in obtaining elimination of the limits upon ward claims awards is regarded in and around confer- ence circles a most sweeping suc- cess for the American delegation, while the most striking feature of the conferences wind-up is that the allies appear not in the least down. cast by the sacriflees made to satisfy the American demands in this and other respects. France gave up not only the idea of asking for an in- creased share of separations but part of what she already had. Great | Britain gave up some, and Belgium will give up more. But all appear happy, nevertheless, that the Ameri- cans came to the conference. All through the closing speeches Twas sounded the note that if American participation costs a considerable amount of money, American CO., operation none the less is worth the price.
 The pace of the final session was somewhat hurried. Winston Church. 1 i'll had made it known that he would leave for London at noon, whether or not the conference was finished, so everything was rushed through as fast as the oratorical ambitions of the presiding officer, Finance Minister Clementel, and those or the heads of the various delegations would permit. M. Ciementel in his remarks paid high compliments tc all the delegations for the spirit ir which they had worked to reach a satisfactory agreement.
 There never has been in all our discussions and findings a victor oi g. victim" he. said. Then, turning to the American delegates he con tinued.

 Ambassador Kellogg, in replying expressed empathically his conil dence in the successful working o' the Dawes plans and emphasized th' important influence it would nave an the settlement of Europe! troubles.
 Mr, Churchill also congratulated the allies on again having American cooperation in settling postwar | troubles put JG tOOh puiiiS " f
 out that in the settlement or p' Dawes annuity apportionment th' bargain was not all in favor or tn' United States. He described tn' passages at arms between the BTU ish and American delegations d lively and prolonged. but charac terized throughout by the most ao solute frankness and good feeling'
 MT. Churchill remarked that th' United States, under the Wadsworti plan, would have received Sfooo' GOO gold marks annually for It's oc cupation costs, which, with arrears would have breGght the nsure ul to 10000, 900, while under the pres ent agreement the American con tented themselves with 66'OOo'Voo On the whole, he declared the al lies had been helped rather thar burdened by the American partici patton.
