Fort Peck Upper Grades
The Fort Peck upper grades
have size, speed, and aggressive
ness. The second game was hard
fought by the locals, but hopeless
ly lost before they had entered
the floor. The Fort Peck players
were large and clever basketball
players, and in no point in the
game were they forced to tight
en- up and play fast basketball.
Bear Cub was in every play, and,
when the final whistle blew, he
had scored ten field goals. In the
first half all the Fort Peck plays
seemed to hinge on Archdale, but
even when he was removed from
the game in the final period the
Wolf Point players failed to
score. The final score was Wolf
Point O.; Fort Peck 40.
Young of Wolf Point was again
the backbone" of the team, but
failed on some of his passes in
the last half. w. Littlefield and
Veldhuis also played better games
than they have previously played.

Brockton Wins Games
Two Wolf Point grade basket
ball teams felt the sting of de-
feat at the hands of the Brockton
graders.
The first game which was be-
tween the upper grade teams Of
the two schools was one of the
poorest exhibitions Of grade bask-
etball seen on the Wolf Point
floor. The Brockton team played
a rather slow game of basketball,
but we're sure of their passes and
before the game was over netted
% points.
Wolf Point played not only a
slow but a ragged game. AS a
team they were not aggressive, nor
did they show any ability to

authority. would have before it the
form of the agreement.
The schedule of payments conforms
to the annuitieS proposed by the Young
committee for the United States. From
each of the annuities to be received,
40.800,000 Reich" marks are to be
allocated to the satisfaction of mixed
claims and the balance to the satiSfac-
ton of our Governments claims on
account of Army costs. This is SUBJ
Stantially in accord with the program
outlined at the White House conference
OF May 49,. 1929, which was attended
by number of the leaders of both
houses of Congress.
THE form of the agreement and the
provisions in respect of postponement,
generally speaking, follow the agree
mentS heretofore negotiated for the
settlement Of the debts owed the United
States by foreign governments. The
execution of this agreement is con-
tingent, OF course, upon the coming
into effect of the Young plan. In the
meanwhile, the United States retains
all Of It's existing rights"
Treasury records show that on
September l the American reparations
claims against Germany were con-
sidered to amount to $193,936,765 on
account Of expenditures of the Amer
lean Army OF Occupation maintained
In Germany after the armiStice, and
$256 ,656,213 on account of mixed claims
OF American citizens and the Govern
ment against Germany for war damage
OF various sorts.
Is POstpOnement Only.
The committee of experts headed by
owen d. Young, who have proposed
the pending plan for dealing with all
OF Germany's reparation liabilities,
proposed to reduce the annuities which
the United States would receive. The
Treasury Department has stated that
this program represented a postpone
ment rather than a diminution of pay
ment," as the payments were FIRST
planned by the original Dawes COM
mission which dealt with the repara-
tons obligations.
The American Government figures
now indicate that the total of the
reparatlons represented by army OF
occupation costs will be reduced 10 Der
cent by the application of the Young
plan, but that the mixed claims will
be paid in full, and that interest at
the rate Of 3as per cent will be paid
during the time that is consumed In
canceling the entire obligation.
The Young plan contemplates the
payment of annuities by Germany to
the United States over a period of 50
years, beginning September /, 1929.
U. s. Remains Independent.
While European nations concerned
have not taken final steps for the
inauguration of the Young plan, or
for the creation of an international
settlement bank, which Is a portion of
| Its proposal, 1t is generally believed
that 1t will be finally effective. This
last statement indicated that the
American Government would continue
70 keep its foreign obligations in in
dependent agreement form, although
accepting the amounts assigned for the
extinguishment of American claims as
provided in the international agree
ment. The United States was not
oncially represented in negotiation of
that agreement.

correspondingly prolonged. But at this
writing, 1t can be stated confidently, no
responsible authority connected with
the meeting, as far as the Hoover ad-
ministration is informed, contemplates
events of the next few weeks with
despair
President Hoover intends that the
American delegation shall go to London
determine dto find points of agreement
rather than points for disagreement.
In other words, Messrs. Stimson, Adams.
Reed, Robinson, Morrow, Dawes and
Gibson are going to squander as little
OF their time and energy as possible
on seeking to score advantages in con-
troversial fields. They expect it will
be made apparent, fairly early in the
London game. what is attainable and
what Is unattainable. 1t is altogether
likely promptly to develop that the
Americans will concentrate on the at
tainable as soon as it is revealed. This
may fall short Of all the things the
United States would like to see &C.
conplished at London, but our Govern
ment will bend every effort to avert
outright failure. It is under no IL
lusions as to the probability that If
the f1ve-power conference breaks up
resultless the future outlook for inter-
national tranquility will be none too
bright. Resumption of costly naval
building competition will be the almost
inevitable consequence.
Recall Conference Here.
Washington officials recall that even
the highly successful naval conference
OF 192l-22 did not achieve everything
which President Harding and Secre-
tary Hughes planned it should achieve.
Inc Hughes limitation program called
Tor 5-5-3 ratio as among America.
Britain and Japan and for a lbs
LIS ratio between France and italy.
not only for capital ships (battleships
and battle-cruiSers), but for all kinds of
ships, especially auxiliary craft like
cruisers.
1t was the French insistence on nom
limitation Of cruisers, destroyers and
submarines which wrecked that por-
ton Of the Hughes program. It
speedily became apparent that there
could be no unity with respect to
auxiliary ships of war. Thereupon
Secretary Hughes, who not only was
head Of the american delegation. but
chairman of the whole conference.
turned his attention to what he found
could be mplished-namely, capt.
tal-ship limitation and an agreement
to preserve the peace in the far Pa
cif1c.
One thought finding quiet expression
in Washington is that France may be
aggrieved with America and Great
Britain for the same reason she was
aggrieved at Washington M. BRAND
never quite forgave Mr.. Hughes and
Mr.. Balfour for fixing up the 5-5-3
ratio and then telling France and
Italy. virtually, to take it or leave it.
It is considered just possible that
something of the present French at
titude may spring from the recent
Hoover Macdonald entente cordiale on
naval matters.

The description was given before

can Association for the Advancement of
Science, by Wesley l.. Smith, Chicago

said, where an airplane in flight has

Ice as Great Hazard.
Ice formation was described by Smith
as the great hazard to aviation" So

by the Guggenheim Fund for the Pro-
motion or AeronauticS, in cooperation
with air lines, was predicted for the
near future"
Radiators in the sky" which keep
the northern and southern ATTITUDES
warm, were described before the seS-
sion by DIR. w. ]. Humphreys, president
of the meteorologistS.
The radiators" he said, "are formed
by a thin blanket of ozone, that form
OF oxygen which gives air its fresh
odor after a thunder storm. Perhaps
thinner than a sheet of cardboard, and
many miles above the highest altitude
reached by man 1t exerts a tremendous
influence on life.
without the blanket the sun would
be so strong that we would all go

would all have ricketts,, for the layer

The layer acts as a radiator because
1t absorbs radiation from the earth.

going to the outer air and the remain-
der back to the earth.
Over the northern and southern lati-
tudeS the layer is thicker than over
the Equator. This extra thickness over
the colder ATTITUDES acts somewhat as
a protecting roof to keep them warmer
than they would be otherwise.
