Reparation Committee Entrusted wit
Duty of Fixing Amount of
Indemnity
(By Associated Press)
Paris, Jan. 28.-The session of th
committee of experts of the Allie
council ended at 12:30 o'clock thi
morningrafter having reached a corn
plete agreement on the system of an-
nual payments of reparation by Ger-
many and annuities on Germany's for-
eign trade.
It now remains only for the plenary
sitting of the Supreme council to en-
dorse the agreement, draw up instruc-
tions for the Brussels experts and fix
penalties for default by Germany.
Premier Briand declared, as he
came from the meeting early this
morning that the conference of the
Supreme council would not break up
without having reached a definite de-
cision.
Payment Provided
The scheme provides for the pay-
ment of annuities on a sliding scale
of from 2,000,000,000 to 6,000,000,000
gold marks over a period of probably
42 years and also a 12 1-2 per cent ad
valorem tax on German exports, so
that her creditors will be paid accord-
ing to Germany's increasing prosper-
ity.
The sudden ironing out of differ-
ences came after two days of a con-
tinually widening breach that threat-
ened to break up the conference, it
being virtually suspended except for
private conferences. Official French
circles gave the Belgian delegation
credit for the success in reconciling
the British and French viewpoints.
Germans to be Iivited
The project in its final form, when
approved by the Supreme council will
be submitted to Germany for accept-
ance as an agreement outside of Ar-
ticle 233 of the peace treaty which en-
trusts the reparation commission with
the task of fixing the amount of the
indemnity. Then another conference
will be called to which the Germans
will be invited.
The committee of experts tonight
considered the question of shortening
the period of the payment to 30 years
for which the treaty of Versailles pro-
vides, but it is expected that the period
of 42 years finally will be adopted, as
the whole agreement is outside the
treaty and the longer period of pay-
ments will make the task easier for
Germany.
REGENTS TO BE ASKED MONEY
FOR UNIVERSITY ART ACTIVITY
"We do not wish the Board of Re-
gents to grant the Ann Arbor Art as-
sociation $1,000 annually, but to set
aside this sum for University activ-
ity along the line of art exhibitions
and lectures," said Prof. Emil Lorch,
of the architectural school, last night.
The statement was made in regard to
a report of Librarian W. W. Bishop's
committee, which was adopted by the
association Wednesday. The recom-
mendation is to be presented to the
Regents ai their next meeting.
"Although the association has suc-
seeded in bringing many good exhib-
itions here, we have been compelled to
charge admission for them to defray
expenses. This has caused many stu-
dents to stay away when they might
otherwise have attended. It is the de-
sire of the association to make these
things free to the public, and this
would be accomplished by the fund."

Actors Overcome
Difficulties With
aSkill And Effor
(By Ren Sherwood)
Inadequate facilities and a shriek-
ing radiator were overcome by the
earnest efforts and sill of the mem-
bers of the Players' club in their
second presentation of four one-act
plays last night in Sarah Caswell An-
gell hail.
The utterance of mature sophis-
tries by amateurs, which results so
often in toleration from those of the
audience not intimately acquainted
with the players, was neutralized by
the ease and presence of H. E. Rosen-
thal, '21, and the poise of Amy G.
Loomis, '22, in "The Marriage Has
Been Arranged." Rosenthal's pleas-
ing voice and maturity could have
been used to better advantage in the
.second play, "The Open Door," and his
characterization of a middle-agedmil-
lionaire could have been more easily
enacted by L. C. Crocker, '18, who
took the part of the nobleman in the
second play.
By merely being "college" "J. P.
Holden, '22, fulfilled accurately the
requirements of an unthinking son,
whose actions are contrasted by the
love of his wife, Kathryn C. Prakken,
'21. The women taking the leading
parts were well commented upon by
the audience, especially Amy Loomis,
who did justice to her role as a wife
resigned to her fate. That those in
charge of making-up the characters
were anxious to prove their ability
was shown by the contrast in the
complexions of Mrs. Parton and Bar-
bara and Mrs. Ollivant and Mary.
And if presentations of last even-
ing may be taken as an indication of
what the Players will do, of a sample
of what is to come from them, a
better hall than Sarah Caswell An-
gell and more appropriate settings
than only curtains and two-lamps are
needed to set off with fairness the re-
sults of honest endeavor for the best
in drama.

During consideration of the diplo-
matic appropriation bill Representa-
tive Mason, Republican, Illinois, a

grounds that it was without authoritye
of law and that there had been noa
executive recognition of Ireland. I

Analyzes Music
Professor Mason is one of the lead-
ing American authorities in this field
and his explanatory and analytical
talks accompanying his recitals areE
of great value. He comes from a fam-
ily of musicians, being a grandsont

FORSYTHE SPONSORS
HEALTHEXAM PANS
The requirement of a medical ex-
amination for every person entering
the University before being accepted
as a student, is part of the plan to
promote and safeguard the health of
the student body, which is being pro-
jected by the Health service. Dr. For-
sythe, director of the University
Health service, will present the plan
to the University administration
shortly.
Among the other parts of the plan
is the requirement of a medical con-
sultation with every student at least
once a year, and the giving of a re-
quired, accredited course in health
instruction to all freshmen.
In commenting on these proposi-
tions, Dr. Forsythe said that taking
care of the sick students was the
smallest duty of the Health service.
He continued, "If these proposals are
adopted we will be able to keep some
record of the students' health and to
prevent a great deal of sickness. The
University has adequate facilities to,
give every entering student an exam-
nation before he registers." He also
stated that the Health service invited
constructive criticism from the stu-
dents on these propositions.
S'axop hone lBarred
At Union Dances
The funeral procession has passed.
the chant of the last sad rites has
been heard. Nothing is left but the
Bolding of burial services.
For the moaning saxophone has
reathed its last at Union dances. Of-
Icials have placed thereon a firm
taboo." Instead of a battery of sax-
phones and trombones in the orches-
ra which are said "to strike you down
with their blare," stringed instruments!
Nill again bid for approbation.
Depleted by the loss of several sax-
phones, the orchestra has added two
nore violins, a bass viol, another
iano and a banjorine. This is strict-
y according to "down east" style
where the wailing saxophone has been
iscarded, it is said.
LOCAL MERCHANT RECOVERS
GOODS STOLEN BY EMPLOYE
Merchandise to the amount of $400:
as been recovered by Edwin J. Lohr,
roprietor of Davis Toggery shop on
outh University avenue, through the
o-operation of the New York and
Ann Arbor police forces. The mer-
handise was tolen by Roswell S.
Clark, a former employe of Lohr, and
was sent to New York by express.
Clark failed to call for the trunk
containing the merchandise, and
Thief O'Brien, of the local force, re-
Iuested that the trunk be sent here.
When it was opened much of the ap-
parel was untouched and as good as
new.

Union or one of the offices of the
Farmers and Mechanics bank. Women

PLAY REHEARSALS
PLEASE DIRECTOR
Plans for the Comedy club's per-
formance of "Bunty Pulls the
Strings," which will be presented
March 9 at the Whitney theater, are
well matured, according to Prof. J.
Raleigh Nelson, under whose direc-
tion the play is being given. The cast
has now had more than three weeks
of daily rehearsals.
Professor Nelson says that the pres-
ent. cast has taken hold of its work
with a greater enthusiasm than that
of any previous year. "At the end of
two weeks they were playing the first
two acts with real effect and without
their books. In the meantime stage
designs for both sets have been made
and plans perfected for their execut-
ing in Detroit," said Professor Nel-
son.
The generous support given last
year's production of the club, "Alice
Sit By the Fire," has made the club
feel justified in staging and costum-
ing the play this year more liberally
than before. The costumes are be-
ing made by a New York house.
