GIBSON'S OFFER
PROVES PUZZLING
Clarifcation of Proposal on Arma-
ments Is Sought by Off
cials Here.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Indications of confusion of the Amer
ican viewpoint on questions of land and
naval armaments as outlined by AM
baSsador Hugh Gibson to the Prepar-
atory Disarmament Commission at
Geneva have brought new attempt
in Government circles here to make the
meaning clear.
The explanation of Gibson's state
ment that the United States was willing
to withdraw its reservations TO the eX-
cluSion of trained reserves from any
formula for evaluation of land strength
is that. since the United States already
had reduced its land forces to the min
imum, it is not concerned in the queS-
ton of land ornaments.
Taking that position, 1t does not
wish to be in a position of obstructing
an agreement among the European ma
tions that are concerned. Naturally,
it could not become a party to an
agreement with which it had no con-
Germ.
That is one of the points which has
aroused discussion, particularly among
Senators, with considerable conjecture
as to the meaning of Gihson's statement
Another point on which confusion
seems to persist is attacked with &
reiteration of the explanation that the
Geneva meeting is not a disarmament
conference, but an effort to pave the
way for such a conference by working
out formulas on which hope of success
full negotiations might be based.

APPROVE
PLAN OF PUBLICITY
Soviet Russia and China Op-
pose ProposaI-Germany
Refrains From Voting.
By the Associated Press.

GENEVA, May AFTER France had
announced that in the spirit of con-
cesSion it withdrew its proposal to limit
war material by the budgetary system,
the preliminary disarmament confer
ence today approved the idea of puo-
iicity for land armamentS as the best
available solution of this problem.
Soviet Russia and China voted
against the resolution for publicity and
Germany abstained from voting.
Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet delegate,
characterized it as a step backward,
declaring it showed that the Prepa-a-
tory. Commission had renounced the
principle of limitation or reduction Of
war material. He insisted that pub
icity put restraint on no one and that
all the governments could publish any
figures they wanted.
The resolution says that the commits
sion rejected systems of direct limita-
ton of material in service and in stock
and, having noted that the system OF
indirect limitation through limitation
of expenditure on material did not meet
with general assent, decided that Ilmi-
tation and reduction of material must
be sought by means of publicity OF cX-
penditure.
BernStOrff Charges Failure.
Count. Won Bernstorff, the German
delegate, created a stir by announcing
that Germany now washed its hands
of the work of the commission and
would leave to the majority full and
complete responsibility of preparing for
the projected international conference.
He accused the delegates of having
eliminated the essentials of reduction of
at least land ornaments and declared
that the commission had entirely lost
sight of its real task. He considered
the situation grave.
AS the German delegate, however. did
not leave the room, the delegates were
under the impression that Germany had
no intention of going SO far as to bolt
the commission.
During the discussion, Hugh S. Glib
son, the American representative, voiced
great satisfaction at Frances conces-
sion on the budgetary system. 1t was
on Mr. Gibson's request that the COM
mission reSorted to a roll call on the
publicity resolution.
Naval Armaments Topic Monday.
The commission adjourned until
Monday morning with an agreemnt
that it would then resume discussion Of
naval ornaments. At that time the
Japanese, British and Americans will
recommend adjournment of detailed
discussion to permit conversations be-
tween the governments Of the five big
naval powers.

GERMANS ACCEPT
YOUNG DEBT PLAN;
MUST WIN ALLIES
Full Settlement of Repara-
tions Possible if France
and Belgium Agree.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, May 4.-The German and
American reparations delegations have
reached a full agreement on a complete
settlement of the reparations problem.
1t remains. however, for the Americans
to win the French and Belgian dele
tions to their plan.
1t was far from certain the French
and Belgians will accept the American
proposals. The French point of view
is that they presented an irreducible
minimum claims total, based on what
they must pay to America plus only a
fraction of what they have spent for
reparations.
Premier Poincare has declared pub
licly that France cannot make further
sacrifices, and it was commented that
even if the French experts approved
the Americans plan in order to dispose
of the veXing problem it was most prob
able Parliament and the government
would reject the settlement.
Trouble Seen Ahead.
Observers close to the delegations
themselves said there was only a slim
hope the settlement agreed upon by the
Americans and Germans would prove
acceptable to the French or Belgians
Mr.. Young. however, they said. was de-
termined to do his utmost to achieve
the settlement which the committee al
ready has spent three months vainly
seeking
The proposed settlement just about
splits the difference between the origi-
nal German offer of annuitieS of L.
$50 ,000,0 marks and the Allied de-
mand of annuities of 100000, 900
marks.
The German offer, calculated at five
per cent interest plus nine-tenths per
cent for amortization. had present
value of about $4,000 900 900 gold marks
(about $6.240. 900 ,000). The Allied de-
mand amounted roughly to SO, 900. .O00.-
600 marks, totaling, when costs of the
army of Rhine occupation and redem-
ton of Belgian currency was added.
about Al 900 10000 marks (about $10,-
90, 1000, ,O0o).
Provision for AnnuitieS.
The settlement agreed upon by the
Americans and the Germans provides
for annuities to run only 81 years The
payments of 1,750 000,0 900 marks needed
for the succeeding 81 years to meet the
debts of the allied countries to America

COLEBROOK, N. H., May 4.-The

flood-wrought havoc today. Houses
and bridges were swept away and high
ways washed out when waters rushed
last night from Balsam Dam. 13 miles

Estimates of property damage ranged
as high as 100000.
Ample warnings reached the half
dozen or more families comprising the
hamlet of Kidderville, nine miles east
of this place.
The river, ordinarily a comparatively
shallow stream, rose 20 feet in a few
minutes and maintained that gauge
nearly half an hour. In addition to nu-
merous wooden bridges which went OUT
in the valley, one 40-foot steel bridge
was swept down the stream, while the
trestle Of the Maine Central Railroad
which spans the Mohawk close to its
confluence with the Connecticut River,
just below here, was carried into the
larger stream.
Damage here was heavy. Eight or
nine houses disappeared in the river.

 The writer of this was born in 1872 on St. George, one of the Pribiloff Islands and has spent years of his life with the Eskimos between the Kuskokwim and Yu- lscn deltas, and nearly two years with the tribes of the Arctic coast, traversing with them the Arctic from Wainwright Inlet to the mouth of the Colville. Thus, Gene LaRouge, a recent visitor in Seward, is able to give the facts as he saw them himself.
