The council will meet again at 5 p. m. to take up the report of third committee. After this morning's meeting of the big fourteen" of the reparations con- ference a French spokesman said an agreement was in sight by which Ger- many would be allowed to address the inter-allied reparations commission should be adjudged in default under the Dawes plan. It was emphasized by this inform- ant that this concession would be ac- .corded Germany as a privileg'e rath- ter than as a right and that the final determination of Germany's possible default must remain strictly an -al- lied affair. On this point the French spokesman was optimistic that the Germans would accept the agreement reached by the allied delegates among themselves before the Germans were invited to London., In a lengthy summary of the Ger- man memorandum to the internationalf conference, the diplomati correspond- ent of~the Daily Telegraph today says1 that some of the objections raised byt the Berlin delegates are serious, es-P pecially regarding the protocol of thet third commission which deals with de-y liveries in kind and transfers of re- parations.E The German criticism in this re- spect, he says, "goes amazingly 'far 1 and is wholly destructive of the con- t cerns reached by the third commission t and the conference."c Among other things the Germans 3 insist, according, to the correspond- ent upon the right of appeal againstv the program for deliveries in kind toI be elaborated by the reparation com-d mission and the bodies emanatingo therefrom. - American Ambassador Kellogg hasr written to the secretary of the inter-F national conference, according to the i Daily Chronicle, stating that the rep-F resentatives of the United States are i in accord with the French proposal to hold a conference of finance min- t isters in Pari simmediately after the 1 close of the meeting here.s The proposal was contained in res- t olutions submitted last Saturday for o adoption by the allied delegates. The first of these resolutions pertains to v the allocation of payments received t from Germany since January 1, 1923, G and to payments t. be received dur- 1V ing the first year the Dawes plan is in operation. Ambassador Kellog's letter accord- ing to the newspaper, states that, in- asmuch as the question of reimburse- ment for the cost of the American ar- my of occupation inthe Rhineland and certain American claims for war dam- ages are involved, and as' the agenda will also include the question of al- si locating German payments for the o first year under the Dawes program t the United States as the only "asso- d ciated power" should participate ing the proposed conference. t Davis Opens Campaign .

The story deals with a fla per, her long-suffering aunt, and the respective lovers and the problemc the play is "How old is Aunt Is bell?" She seems t be a most intri guing lady-quite a paradox whe one considers her appearance and he glib comments on the period of th Civil War. The mystery becomes i fact so fascinating that all the wil of Florence, the flapper, do not hol the attention of Mr. William Ame for whose special benefit they wer exerted. Lionel Ames, '24, of Michigan Oper fame, will appear as Johnny White,a dapper youth, who patiently follow Florence because, as he says, thi Mr. Ames is only attractive becaus he is a stranger and when she doe get sick of whim she will be awfull sweet to Johnny.

A dispatch. from the cruiser Mil. waukee relayed a report from the ex- ,plorers declaring a satisfactory -place had been found at Ekaluit, on the west coast of Greenland. Nob only Avill this afford a secure landing place for the planes, the report said, but an open harbor was 'available for the Milwaukee and facilities for hauling out the planes should moderate re- airs be necessary. Place did not appear even on maps of the general staff and considerable search was necessary before army of. ficers finally identified it as the olC coast listed on Danish charts as "Iluilek." It is considerably farther south than the proposed base which the army advance was unable to reach because of unprecedented ice fields. Ekaluit was said to enjoy longer per- iods of open water and has been so recorded in marine journals. Belief that the flight would be re- sumed shortly was strengthened by other reports particular to the hygro- praphic office that the ice conditions around southern Greenland had meas- ablely improved during the last 2 hours with accompanying moderation in the' weather. A distance of 79 miles is estimated to be comprised in the contemplated jump, well within the capacitX of the planes. It was pointed out here that no approval was necessary from Wash- ington to establishing a substitute .base or for departure from Reykjavik. wide discretion having been left i such matters to the pilots and to their advisers nearer at hand. NEW PLAN FOR, FOOTBALL TICKETS G1IN TO CLUB T. Hawley Tapping, field secretary of the Alumni Association has recent- ly devised a new plan for securing football tickets for members of the Association, whereby all may be ben- efited. The club members will be sav- ed a maximum of trouble and the As- sociation will be better adapted to col- lect its fees. All paid-up members may send their checks along with receipt of dues to him and he will obtain a block of seats for the club as a whole. Each mem- ber will be allowed four seats at each game, both at home and on -foreign fields. This does not mean they may obtain tickets in other ways also. They will not be allowed more than, the given number. TREUMANAMED IN YEAR BOOK The American Pharmaceutical As- sociation has just issued a.,new year took, "The Progress of Pharmacy in 1922."
