London, July 30.-(By A.P.) The
French compromise proposal for
breaking the deadlock in the inter-
allied conference provides for the ev-
acuation of Hagen, in the Ruhr, by
the French and Belgian troops aftr

German loan of $200,000,000, accord-

French and the Belgians will evacuate
successively Vortmund, Bochum, and
Essen.
London, July 30.-(By A.P.)-The
French experts to the inter-allied
conference were working today to
produce a formula which they prom-
ised would be different from any thing
they had previously offered and which
they said ought to be the long-sought
solution of the deadlock in the confer
ence on the question of security for
the Dawes plan loan to Germany.
At 4:30 o'clock this afternoon the
allied delegations were still awaiting
word from the French experts that
their proposal had been completed. It
was clear that nothing could be done
until the new formula was circulated.
Paris, July 30.-(By A.P.)-The rep-
aration commission is leaving for Lon-
don at 4 o'clock this afternoon to as-
sume a part in the inter-allied con-
feence which is seeking means of
putting the Dawes reparation plan
into operation. The suggestion that
the reparation commissioners be sum-'
moned was made by Mr. Logan, the
American representative at the con-
ference.
Mr. Logan was the unofficial Amer-
4can observer with the reparation
commission during its sittings in Par-
is.

Mr. William F. Harding of Mobile,
Alabama, is the oldest student enrol-
led in the school of education, ac-
ccrding to o..ce files. Mr. Harding
was born on May 8, 1862, at Tecum-

Mr. Harding has studied previous-
ly at Albion and Northwestern uni-

the ministry and held pastorates
throughout the middle west in Mich-
igan, Kansas, Iowa, and Oklahoma.
Three years ago he left that work to
take the teaching position.
His summer study is along lines
of curriculum building and school
management, and although he is not

working toward a degree, he is tak-
ing the maximum number of hours of
work.

400 students from the first through
the twelfth grade. Special courses
are being offered by Mr. Harding and
his associates in music, domestic
science, manual training, and peda-
gogy.
Bobbed RaIr Liked by Berlin Women
Berlin, July 30.-To determine the
popularity of the "bubi" heiad, which
is the German equivalent for bob-
bed, a Berlin editor selected three
distinctive sections of the city and
counted the bobs that passed in 5001
women.
In the most fashionable section he
found 12 per cent had bobbed hair,
in a down town district seven per
cent and in a working class section
only five per cent.

INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED
Washington, July 30.--Plans for the
observance of Sept. 12 as Defense
Day, a project which has become a
subject of public controversy, are
laid down in detail in instructions
sent by the war department to the
chiefs of all its branches and to the
commanding generals of all corps ar-
eas.
As made public by the department
for the first time, the instructions say
the general plan for the day has two
main objectives: inamely, "patriotic
demonstration and test mobilization."
It is explained, in lieu of extensive
field exercises which for economic
reasons cannot be held during the
present calendar year, the secretary
of war has decided to initiate for the
continental United States a mobiliza-
tion demonstration which would serve
as an occasion for "assemblages and
ceremonies involving public manifes-
tations of loyalty and practical patri-
otism."
Bryan is Answered
Criticism by Gov. Charles W. Bry-
an of Nebraska of plans for observ-
ing of Defense day, is attributed by
the war department to "rather extra-
ordinary interferences from what
seems to be a perfectly clear docu-
ment."
His order for assembly of Nation-
al Guard organizations and appoint-
ment of local committees to help in
arrangements for observance of the
