cation OF the improved standard OF

German population.
Mr.. Gilbert testifies to Germany's
punctilious payments of all sums due
on the reparations account and de-
scribes Germany as placing the product
of her science, skill and labor at the
disposal of creditor nations in an ef-
fort to pay for the war
He adds, however, that it is mot to
be supposed that Germany has yet
made up for the values destroyed in
the war or for the values which would
have been produced had there been no
war"
Payments and transfers during the
year amounted to ,739,0o0,000 gold
marks tabout $4,000 000l; about 54
per cent was transferred in foreign
currencies and the remaining 46 per
cent by means CT reichmark payments

Report Significant.
The significance of the report is en-
phasiZed in official quarters and the
press, since it is the last one to be is
sued before negotiations for a revision
Of the Dawes plan began. 1t is felt that
the report will exercise considerable
influence upon the experts who will be
called upon to establish Germany's
final indebtedness.
Newspapers assert that Mr.. Gilbert Is
seeing Germany through rose -colored
spectacles and that the report presents
an Enthusiastically favorable picture of
German economic life.
When 1t is said the Dawes plan is
functioning" it simply means, COM
mentators say, that Germany has been
borrowing money to pay her creditors
On the other hand. section of the
press acknowledges the justice of Mr.
Gilberts structures regarding excessive
expenditures by states and communes
over which the Reich exercises an in
sufficient control.
Liberty Is Demanded.
President Paul Won Hindenburg and
Chancellor Hermann Mueller made the
official New Year reception the occasion
for telling the diplomatic representa-
tives of two-score' nations that the Ger
man people feel entitled to a full
measure of liberty.
Chancellor Mueller used the term
foreign yoke" in referring to the occu-
pied Rhineland provinces and the Pres
ident said that his countrymen were
their country lacks the liberty which
we claim through divine and human
right"
The function at which these express
sions were given was attended by the
diplomatic corps the federal cabinet,
members of the Reichstag and Reichs-
rat, chiefs of the army and navy, heads
Of the Federal railways and the Reichs-
bank and officers of the Prussian pro-
VinCial government The President ex-
changed fluctuations with, and had a
personal word for, each guest.
Replies to Diplomats.
1t was in replying to the formal greet
ings of the diplomatic corps that the
President spoke of the bitter feeling in
Germany. He also said:
Germany hopes. despite grave disap-
pointments, that the new year will wit
ness restoration to us of full self-de-
termination. Ideals of peace and the
progress of mankind can be thoroughly
developed only by free peoples"
The chancellor, addressing the pres
ident on behalf of the government,
pledged unceasing work until the
Rhine, the Saar and the Palatinate
shall be liberated from the foreign
yoke
He said that the forthcoming study
of reparations involved a question
which was "decisively important for

FRANCE SEES SIMPLER PROBLEM
Gilbert Report Held Aid to Work of
New Committee.

PARIS, January 2 GP).-The report
of S. Parker Gilbert as agent-general
for reparations is believed in French
official circles to have simplif1ed the
work of the new expert committee,
which will shortly consider revision OF
the Dawes plan.
The ease and regularity with which
Germany has paid up to the maximum
annuity is felt from the French view
to show that there is no need for a
new examination of the Reich's ca
pacity to pay. The questions which
are looked upon as still to be settled
are as to how long must she pay.
what form of guarantee shall be sub
stituted for the present military occu-
patton of the Rhineland and under
what terms can the reparations debt
| be commercialized.
The general comment on the report
as expressed in Paris pays special
tribute to Mr. Gilberts absolute fair
ness and impartiality."

Within a few days S. Parker Gilbert,
agent general OF reparations. whose an
nual report has just been made public,
will interview high officials of the
American Government. He will have
voice In the selection of experts for
the new international committee which
is to complete the Dawes plan.
Mr.. Gilbert has been interviewing the

heads of the governments Of Great
Britain. France and Germany and has
the whole reparation problem at his
finger tips. He does not indicate the
terms of settlement but he is con-
fident of the formula that shall be
applied.
Personnel Not Yet Chosen.
The first step is the appointment OF
American experts to sit with the eX-
perts of other nations. This has been
arranged. but the personnel Is not yet
chosen. President Coolidge insists that
the actual appointment shall be by the
allied governments, so as to- reserve to
America complete freedom of action as
to the agreement on which the. experts
shall decide.
The next step will be for the experts
to fix the amount that Germany shall
pay hereafter, thus removing some OF
the vague and uncertain clauses OF the
original Dawes plan. When this sum
is fixed the effort will be made to float
an international bond issue. Then 1t
will be time for the United States Gov
ernment to decide whether it will take
cash settlements for some of the war
debts. This is something Congress must
decide. At present there is no favora-
BILE sentiment for such step, but there
is no telling what the mood of the
world will be when once the reparation
indebtedness has been definitely fixed
and the allies come forward with a
concrete program for settling their
debts to the United States with the
proceeds of their expected bond issue.
This much is certain-while the mat
ter is in the bargaining stage, the

of q match factory near the royal
residence in Kabul from which
place she was evacuated by a Brit
ish airplane, as saying that Amanul-
lah some times personally enforced
his reforms in dress. She told this
incident:
Amanullah once met an Afghan
workman who was wearing the

angered Amanullah and he spatched
1t from the workman's head, threw

said was an instance of the de-
throned kings treachery.
Amanullah received a letter when
he was still king from the rebel
leader Bacha Sakao. now ruling a
Habibullah Khan. promising to en-
ter the kings service II his ban
ditry was forgiven. Amanullah
agreed.
Bacha Sakao determined to put
the kings forgiveness to a test and,
disgusting his voice. telephoned
Amanullah. He represented himself
to be a provincial governor and
asked the king what to do with
Bacha, who, he said, had reported
to him.
Deceived, Amanullah gave in
structions to remove or blind Bacha.
Bacha was enraged and revealed
his identity by saying, II will come
