the sturdiest thoroughbreds.
The race was worth about $66 900
to the winning owner.
Although the absence of King
George robbed the occasion of some
OF its time-honored glamor, there
was no lack of interest on the Part
OF the public. Hundreds Of thou.

many resident and visiting Ameri-

All Pools Heavy
Two horses that attracted con.
siderable attention from the Ameri.
cans were Gordon Selfridge's p. D.

Carthaginian.
Other America n-owned horses in
the classic were En- Garde, belonging
to w. Singer, of Washington, and
Posterity, owned by Mrs. CorIette
Glorney, of New York.
1t is estimated that nearly $25, O00,-

Washington Receives
With Acclaim News
Of Debt Agreement

Settlement Of the reparations con-
troversy, which for 10 years has
been chief disturbing factor in world
politics and economics. was hailed in
washington today with immense
satisfaction.
There is an undercurrent of skep-
ticism as to the permanence OF the
settlement reached. but, on the
whole, the official attitude here is
one. Of thanksgiving for what has
been accomplished, and Of hope for
the future.
Hoover Approves
Pr ,sident Hoove sent his sincere
concentrations on the n o. a b lie
achievement" to Owen ID. Young, the
Houdini of the negotiations.
"It is" said Mr.. Hoover, "a most
important step toward the restora-
ton Of international confidence and
Of national stability"
While not q party to the agree
ment. nor q direct beneficiary, the
United States win none the less
benefit indirectly in various ways
If the accord reached at Paris Is
lasting.
The Senate, which has long re-
garded with suspicion American
participat ion in reparations confer
ences, was examining the settlement
terms with interest today. and.
incidentally. looking for "jokers."
Fear Debt Cut
The chief fear expressed was that
Germany may now join the general
European chorus for reduction or
cancellation OF the allied war debts
to this country. There Is a proviso
that the allies will reduce their
claims against Germany only to the
extent that the United States re-
duces its claims against the allies.
Consequently Germany's sole hone
of tightening her own burden would
seem to be dependent upon America
scaling down the allied indebted
ness.
Congress bristles at the bare
suggestion.
Senator Swanson CD Of Virginia.
ranking member Of the Foreign
Relations Committee, summed up
the general Senatorial attitude
today by saying:
IF the reparations settlement is
satisfactory to the allied and central
powers 1t should be to u.s.
Senator Borah R.) Of Idaho,
chairman Of the Foreign Relations
Committee, does not believe in the
permaneney Of the reparations set.

!. OLD TAX RATE

ROCKVILLE, Nd, June 5.-The
bounty commissioners yesterday de.
ieided not to disturb the present tax
,.rate of $3.50 on each 800 Of real
Iand personal property in Mont.
gomery county.
:. In setting the $3.50 tax rate for
the fiscal year, beginning July /,
the commissioners find that 1t will
kost $1.091, s11.57 to run the county
during the year. This figure is in
excess of the amount provided for
the year now ending, but. the COM
t1nissioners pointed out, the county
has been growing steadily and it
is to be expected that expenses will
be greater.
The, new taxable basis on real
and personal property has been fixed
Iat $7S,22s, $50, an increase Of ST..
a641, 765 over last year.
The State tax on real and per.

SOUCEK CLIMBS
$4,000 FEET

The existing world altitude
record of 1895 feet held by
Lieut.. G. G. Champion, u. s.
n, flying a naval seaplane, was
probably broken yesterday by
Lieut.. Apollo Soucek, U. s. n,
who flew a Wright Apache
naval seaplane to a height of
$500 feet.
The Bureau Of Standards Is now
engaged in celebrating the baro-
graph carried by Lieutenant Sou
eek and it will he several days be.
fore the altitude attained by the
flier Is officially determined. The
findings OF the bureau may show
that Champions record still stands.
According to the rules Of the
Federation Aeronatique Interna-
male. the previous mark must be
bettered by 100 meters. or $40 feet,
before the new height can be recog.
nized. Soucek said he doubted that
he had made sufficient altitude to
break the record.

Moving Dune Uncovers
Old Submerged
Village

KOSLIN, June Q.N.S.).-In
1870 a wandering dune submerged
the fisher village Of Lonzke, on
the Pomeranian Baltic coast.
Now. almost 400 years later,
the further movement Of the dune
has begun to uncover parts Of
the village. A number of coins
dating from the years 1893 to
1870 have already been found,
and systematic excavations have
been begun.
Driven by winds from the sea.
this dune has been shifting it's
position slowly but steadily all
through the centuries, and all
attempts to confine it have proved
futile. 1t has caused vast dam
