G6ERMAN INDEMNITY FINALLY AGRIEDONi Supreme Allied Council Agrees Sum to be Paid as War on Reparation 42 ANNUITIES WILL TOTAL 226 BILLION GOLD MARKS (By Associated Press) Paris, Jan. 29.-Full agreement on reparation, German disarmament and all other important questions before it was reached by the Supreme council of the Allies when it adjourned at 5:40 o'clock this evening to meet again in London, Feb. 21. The great result obtained, as M. 3riand, the French premier expressed it after the closing session was, "main- tenance by the Allies of a front as united in making peace as it was in waging war.' Count Sforva, the Ital- ian foreign minister, and M. Briand said the conference had resulted to the satisfaction of everybody concerned. A protocol was signed approving the ,reparation scheme as agreed by the special committee appointed by the council to consider the subject and' also the report of the disarmament of' Germany as presented by the military committee. Under this agrement Ger- many must disarm by July 1, disband-' ing all her civic guards not provided for in the Versailles treaty. Germany will be 'called upon to pay 42 annuities on a sliding scale of 226,- 000,000,000 gold marks. Her exports will in addition bear an export duty of 12 per cent that will go to the Al- lies on the basis of last year's exports,1 this would give the Allies 1,250,000,000 gold marks or 12 per cent of whatever moneyinswhich the exports are paid for. Thus it is estimated 'the first payment made by Germany will be 3,250,000,000 gold marks, the export' tax being paid entirely in cash. TO CONSIDER MICKELSON STAR MEASURING PLAN PROF. HUSSEY AND DR. SAWYER TO GIVE TALKS BEFORE DISCUSSION The physics department will hold a special open discussion at 4:20 Mon- day afternoon in the east lecture room of the Physics building, to give both the physical and astronomical view- point of the recently developed Mick- elson method of measuring stellar diameters. This process, which gives the actual diameter of any star within range of astronomical instruments has caused considerable interest in scientific cir- cles and the public at large, accord- ing to Prof. H. N.. -andall, head of the physics department' Dr. A. A. Nickelson, who developed the methbd, is head of the physics de- partment at the University of Chicago, and is the recipient of the Nobel prize, which is given every few years to the man making the most important ad- vancement in the realm of science. The idea depends on the interference of two beams of light. Dr. Micelson has been using the same principle in determining the legth of the standard meter, kept in Paris, in terms of wave lengths of light. It is believed that the length of metal changes in the course of time and that the length of light beams does not. Dr. Mickelson has also been making investigation into the distortion of the earth by the tides, by this same process. Prof. W. J. Hussey, of the astronomy department, will open the discussion by presenting the astronomical side of the possibilities foreseen in this method. Dr. R. A. Sawyer, formerly with the physics department at the * University of Chicago, will describe the principle itself in non-technical terms.

THE 'WEATHER Probably Snow and Much Colder, with a Cold Wave, Increasing East Winds Shifting to North and Northwest Sunday. PRICE FIVE CENTS IM REL11IEFUND I QOTA SET FOR, OU0NT I S $6,903.6 STUDENTS AND FACULTY, UNION DANCE, AND MAJ CONTRIBUTE MICHIGAN MISSES GOAL, BUT SHOWING IS GOOD Chinese Club Most Active in Securing Contributions from Campus and Outside Sources Last night saw the close of the Uni- versity Foreign Relief fund drive, with the total receipts far below the quota which, had been set. The amount taken in from the general student drive was $6,660.04; the dance returns show $169.85; and the Majes- tic is turning over at least $73.80 to the fund. This makes $6,903.69 which Michigan will send to the national committee. "While Michigan did not succeed in reaching her full quota," said Fred J. Petty, '21, chairman of the fund committee, last night, "she certainly made a most creditable showing. We will no doubt rank high among all contributors who have helped to al- leviate the suffering from hunger and cold among the Chinese and Euro- peans. This need is unquestionably an imperative one; and the spirit shown by Michigan is to be com- mended, for this request, although a humanitarian one, depended upon the attitude of the student body for its support. Clubs and Societies Aid "In the putting across the campaign all sectional clubs and honorary so- cieties were asked to assist in sol- liciting students and faculty. Some organizations failed to co-operate. However, the most of them did their share and more. The Chimes club in particular did exceptionally fine work. They not only contributed $125 from their own treasury, but went to friends in Detroit from whom they secured $150 and to others in To- ledo from whom they secured $125. In addition to this they have many smaller contributions which brings their total above that of any other club. Another of the organizations which deserves special mention is the Men's Educational club. "The Commercial club, Quarter- deck, the South African club, the Newark club, Triangle, Vulcans, the Cosmopolitan club, Les Voyagers, the Saginaw club, and the Westerners' club all came across in fine shape.

Duemling, '23, of Fort Wayne, Ind., received a full exoneration from the charge of drunkenness, for which he was arrested last Sunday morning with three others in connection with a disturbance on Ingalls street, and all records of the arrest have been erased from the police and court books. Duemling, who left college in No- vember on account of illness, had re- mained here to tutor and was plan- ning on coming back to college in February. At the time of the arrest Duemling was trying to get the other men back to their rooms. He ran with the others when the officers ap- peared. When brought up before the court he pleaded not guilty and the officer making the arrest substan- tiated the charge. August C. Muehlhauser, '23, of San- dusky, Ohio, who was shot and seri- ously injured by Patrolman Clark ear- ly Sunday morning, is resting com- fortably, according to the hospital authlorities.
