500 Plans Offered
By Wire and Mail
To End Coal Strike
BY the Associated Press.

by tne AsSOcldteu fTess
PHILADELPHIA, January -.
Five hundred persons and organ
izations have offered plans to end
the anthracite strike.
James A. German, secretary of
the cont contei enue Of miners and
operators, now in session here. said
today that plans had been submitted
from all sections of the country.
Most of the proposals have come
from persons with no technical
knowledge of the issues, and their
suggestions are regarded as of no
practical value. Many plans are SO
complicated that they would be I'M
workable.
Nevertheless. each suggestion has
been given attention.
One proposal started by recitinS
the golden rule. Suggestions came
by wire and special delivery.

particularly unfortunate The ladies
who made them probably We're under
the stress Of the imminent danger Of

$1,000. 900 Pounds Short.

10 the 1 Elteu states
$1,000. 900 Pounds short
With Frances yearly payment of
$500 900 pounds and ltaly's new fund
ing arrangement, Great Britain still
must find u 5000 pounds annually,
with no prospect of getting IL from
Germany. British experts doubt If an
nuitieS under the Dawes scheme ever
will GO over 10000. 600 pounds.
Critics OF today's settlement place
emphasis on Winston Churchill's fail
lre to make both France and Italy set
tie according to their capacity To pay.
They declare that # the standards of
capacity to pay applied to Germany
had been used in the case OF the
French and Italian settlements Great
Britain would be free Of her war debt
today.
One of Mr. Churchills most bitter
opponents declares that he considered
the political capacity of Great Brl-
tain's debtors. not their economic ca
pacity In other words. he accepted
what they would pay, not what they
could produce.
Problem Nearly Solved.
Whatever satisfaction is to he
CLEANED from todays settlement for
this country must be derived from the
Roadway made toward solving the
war debt problem. There remains
only Frances debt TO the United
states and Russia's debt TO nearly
every allied country. The former, il
is hoped, will soon be cleared away.
The latter will never be settled eX-
cept by reputation.
Great Britain will never aba ndon
her claim on Russia, but it already
has been wiped off her books as
worthless. In some quarters the
United States is held responsible for
refusing to wipe out the war debts.
Occasional references appear to Lord
Balfour's famous cancellation note of
1922, but on the whole. the public
seems willing to accept anything
Italy offers and then forget about
debts.
If any hope exists that the United
States may reduce Great Britain's an
nual payments to a sum corresponding
to what she receives from her Euro
pean debtors, it is not expressed.
With a few formalities and exchange
of compliments over luncheon and
dinner. Count Volpi will leave Thurs
day with one more financial victory
to his credit.

SIR AUSTEN QUITS ITALY.
Chamberlain to Confer With
BRAND on Way TO London.

RAPALLO. Italy, January - P,.-
Sir Austen Chamberlain. British for
eign secretary. left last night for
London. He will go by way of Paris,
stopping there for conference with
M BRAND, the French premier and
foreign minister.
Sir Austen, while resting at Rapal-
10 after his strenuous work during
and after the Locarno conference, was
stricken with Influenza two weeks
ago, but recovered rapidly.
His discussions with NJ. BRAND in
Paris will have to do with Germany's
request that the allied troops on the
Rhine be reduced in number. while
the date for the preparatory meeting
OF the League of Nations arms con-
ference will probably be fixed.

 Washington, Nov. 12.-R-Op- position has developed to the grant, ing of a parole for John Langley, former representative from Ken lucky. who is serving term in Atlanta penitentiary for violation of the liquor laws, and 1t is causing Attorney General Sargent some trouble in making decision.
 Langley, who was eligible for a parole in September. was recom- mended for release then by the parole board, but the proposal struck a snag. Some of those who must approve the parole reconl- mendation are unfavorable toward it because Langley has maintained that he Is innocent.
