Versailles. There ile was forced to stand aside helplessly while the Allied Big Four, Woodrow Will son, Georges Clemenceau, David Lloyd George and Vittorio Orlando drew up the terms of Germany's surrender The signing of the treaty on June 28, 1919, came just a week after Simons' resignation from his foreign office post had been sub mitted.
 ! Appeals to U. S. A.
 He became Chief Executicve of the German Industrial League and when the big business interests rep resented by Hugo Stinnes became
 dominant in politics, was made For eign Minister in the Fehrenbach cabinet, formed early in 1920 after an uprising of reds in the Ruhr.
 The Spa conference met in July of that year Besides the question of separations, it took up Ger many's alleged failure to meet dis armament terms of the Versailles pact and under threat of occupa- tion of the Ruhr by allied troops, Simons was compelled to agree to a reduction in Germany's army to
 100000 men.
 Dawes Plan
 The Dawes plan was drawn up and
 another conference was called to
 meet in London in the spring of 1921.
 When the Allies indicated their de-
 termination to force German ac-
 ceptance of the Dawes plan, Sim ons caused an international sensa-
 ton by appealing to President Harding to act as mediator in the separations dispute. He timed the note so that if the American Presi-
 dent did accept it, it would bring the
 United States into the controversy
 before May 1, the date set by France to move her troops into the Ruhr and other industrial sections of
 Germany.
 Resisted Allied Plans
 He followed up this move by a swing around Germany making speeches in which he urged resis- tance to the end against allied plans l Then he went to the London con ference but he ana his fellows failed 5 to shake the determination of David Lloyd George, British Prime Min I ister, and Aristide Briand, Premier Il of France. in regard to reparations Furthermore, the allied troops be-

WHILE they fought, the ancient
w Romans built, and in their
building they left structures that
even now are admired. Among
their marvels are the aqueducts
which they put up across rivers
in Europe and Africa, to carry
fresh water from mountains TO
cities, where previously the pol
luted waters of sluggish streams
brought disease and death.
One Of these structures is the
famous Pont du Gard, the triple
TERED aqueduct rising 160 feet over
the Gard river near Remoulins.
Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa built
it nearly 1000 years ago. There
is a lower tier of six arches, each
rs feet wide, on which rests an
other tier of IL arches of the same
size, extending over the banks on
both sides of the river. On these
are 35 smaller arches bearing the
"specus," or trough, in which the
water ran. The three tiers, and
their arches, allowed for floods
A splendid picture of the Gard
aoueduct appears on the 20 franc
stamp issued by France in 1929
