INTED STATES T0 TAKE HAND IN REPARATIONS (Continued from Page 1) United States in connections with American Army of occupation costs and the private war claims of Ameri- can nationals against Germany. A new plan for 'these payments was outlined at a ference held last night after Presi- dent Hoover's return from a week- end outing in the Virginia mountains, The new programme was outlined Undersecretary Mills of the Treasury and suggested a revision of the time-schedule for German pay- ments on the American Arms of Occupations costs. It was explained that this contemplated a spreading out over a longer period of these payments and also what was describ ed by some of those present as an "inconsequential" pairing down of the amount. Included in the plan also is a sug- gestion for a realignment of the plan or payments by Germany to Ameri- tan nationals growing out of war tlaims. The White House Conference was attended by a number of members on the cabinet Administration Con- fressignal leaders and Representative rner of Texas and Senator Sim- ons of North Carolina ranking emocratic members on the House and Senate committees which will be hite House con- | FOURTEEN CARS A defecti.e rail on the C.P.R.

The majority of Marshal Feng Yu- Hsiang's commanders, announced their supporé of the Central China War and asked him to take up arms against Chiang Kai-Shek, who thus, has been brought face to face with the most formidable opposition the infant Nanking Governnient has been called upon to down.

The toll, which amounted ap- proximately $560 will be deducted from her wages. She has now 'been warned b her employer 'that further telephone calls wo England are too expensive.

Senators Approve A number of senators this morn- ing expressed approval of the sug- gested revision and several said it was their opinion that in the near future a formal recommendation for such a change would be transmitted to congress by president Hoover. It is understood that terms of the proposed agreement today were in the hands of officials at the Ameri- can embassy in Paris for presenta- tion to Owen D. Young. Young and J. P. Morgan, the Americans who have been serving unofficially with the committee of reparations experts. The White House conference was understood to have reached no de- cision. After its conclusion, Secre- tary Stimson issued a formal state- ment saying the gathering had been for the "purpose of acquainting the leaders of the two Houses of Con- gress and the appropriate committees hereof with the purpose of the Ex- erts committee on Reparations which has been meeting in Paris." At the present, American claims against Germany are being paid in annuities. Under the Dawes plan the United Sttaes was to réceive $250,~ 000,000 for the expenses of the Army of Occupation and in addition to the paid 2% per cent of all receipts from Germany minus deductions for cer tain claims given priority status, The 1925 Agreement The agreement signed in Paris in January 1925 for distribution of the Dawes plan annuities provided that annual payments be made by Ger- many in United States for reim- bursement of the Army of Occupa- tion costs and also for awards of The GOLDEN Installment 7 The engagement of Jerry Corbett, air pilot, to Constance Terry, an zir-minded society girl, brings great unhappiness to Solange Harper, who also loves Jerry. Solange, knowa to all the flying field as So-so, runs a lunchroom called the Crowsnest across the road from the flying field at Min- eola, L. I, She likes Constance, but is puzzled over her calm acceptance of her engagement to Jerry, an engagement, tho- ugh So-so does not suspect this, based far more on reason than on romance. Fred France, Jerry's pal, is in love with So-so, but So-so cannot return his affection, Her father, who acts as handy man around the flying field, has 'worked for years on an inven- tion that he believes will re- wvolutionize aviation, put So-so really supports them with the returns from the Crowsnest. Jerry Brings News It was several days after Connie had told her of the engagement before So-so saw Jerry, He flew back from Philadelphia one after- noon and came directly to the Crowsnest, "Hello, So-s0. round here?" "She was In this morning, Jerry. Bhe flew the Icemaiden over, but I don't know just where she is aow." "Mind if I try to get her on the telephone from here? The office phone is busy as a couple of twin bees. " Seen Connie a- "Go ahead, Jerry--and, Jerry-- Constance told me about your en- gagement. I hope--I know--you'll be very happy. She's a wonderful girl Jerry." erry's face turned a brick red. "Thanks, S0-50," he muttered. Then he gave Constance's number to the telephone operator. It was with an expression closely resembling relief that he turned back to So-so. "She's still out," he said. "Let's a talk, So-s0. You're not busy here now, and I've got half an hour. Into the back #0om with you." So-30 obeyed. Somehow the pain of being alone with Jerry, knowing now that he loved Constance, had gone. She felt at ease with him and wondered at his embarrassed ac- ceptance of her good wishes the moment before. "Somethitiz to eat, Jerry?" she asked, closing the door of the small yellow room, He shook his head. 'No; I just want to tell you something--a sec- ret--a wonderful secret." His face kindled. So-so had a moment of panic, Had he and Constance been secretly married on that trip to Philadelphia? No. Constance had been in the Crowsnest morning and afternoon of every day. What could make Jerry's eyes glow like this?" "Tell me, Jerry," she said. . "Constance's father is going to k a nonstop flight to South Am- erica for me." "Jerry!" ; "Fact. That's ofie of the reasons I stayed so long in Philadelphia. Mr. Terry was there on business, and I nent two evenings going over the 'ans." "Does Fred know?" "Not yet. You're the first one I've ld, So-so. Not even Coustance sows. T meant to tell her, but she By BARBARA WEBB was out; and I just had to tell some one. Fred won't be back until eve- ning; he's flying some plutocrat up to Bangor, Maine." "But will Constance let you go?" "Let me go? Why not?" "It's dangerous, isn't it, Jerry?" He shrogged his shoulders. "Some; but we'll take every pre- caution, and we're to have all the money we need, new ship, finest in- struments, plenty of time for tests. Fred is to navigate. I'll be at the controls. It's the biggest opportun- ity I've ever had, So-so; and I'm going to make the most of it." "There's prize money, isn't there?" "Fifty thousand; and all kinds of respectable side-lines, newspaper rights and a book about the trip. I tell you, So-so, there isn't a man out here wouldn't sell his shoes for such a chance." "Tell me all about it, Jerry." "Well, I wanted to see Connie's father, of course. She wanted me to ask him about our engagement, and 80 on, So, when I heard he wasat the Bellevue-Stratford, in Philadel- phia, I called him up, and he asked me to come down to take dinner with him. I guess Connie had tip- ped him off about our engagement, though he didn't let on. After din- ner--swell feed, So-so--I told him I was fond of Connie and wanted to marry her." Jerry grinned a little. 'Nerve, what! Me, with my measly little savings account, wanting to marry into the Terry millions. He looked me over with those sharp eyes of his and then he said: "Just what can you offer my daughter?' 'I'm a good, clean guy," I told him, or words to that effect; and then he said: 'But what have you accom- plished?' " Jerry shook his head. "That was a poser, 'I'm experienged in the big- gest development that's ever hit this country," I told him. 'I've never had a bad crack-up and I mean to make aviation my future.' '" 'That's all very well," he says, but isn't there something you can do to show your mettle before you marry Constance?" "I couldn't think of anything. I sat there like a dumb-bell and de- olded I'd better hop off. Then he leaned over the table and sald: 'What about that dream you men- tioned the other night--that non- stop flight to South America?' "You could have knocked me over, T didn't know. he took me seriously then; but you know I've been crazy to do that very stunt --ever since the Atlantic was con- quered. "'It T had the money, I'd start getting ready tomorrow," I told him. : "After that it was easy. We went into figures, equipment, all the de- tails, and, say, that old bird knows his aviation. He's got some stock in various air enterprises, and . he's keen as mustard over the subject. I went bck again the next night; and, when we had finished our talk, he said: 'Make your plans; I'll fur- nish the money. And when you've succeeded you can marry Constance any time she's willing." "But maybe Constance will want to be married before you leave," So-so suggested. "Not Constance. She's as keen about success as her old man. No, she'll cheer me on, ang hold my hand when I get back, but she'd be the last girl in the world to want GIRL to tie me down before I go." So-s0 nodded. "I guess you're right," she sald, remembering the cool way in which Constance had announced the engagement to her, "I must be terribly old fashioned," she thought to herself. "If I were engaged to a'man who was going off into danger I'd make him marry me before he went." Jerry wag speaking again. "Now, I've got to get leave from the field here, look at a lot of new ships, have some special instruments built into the one I pick, and have Fred brush up his navigation. Oh, I've a busy couple of months aheaq all right." "When will yoy go?" "It's early November now. We'll try to hop off about the last of January. It's bad weather here then, but we'll be flying into spring. There won't be so many birds hop- ping off for the ends of the earth then and I believe we can do it. All the experts will wag their heads and say it can't be done--but I know it can, And I'm going to do it." ; "Good luck, Jerry. And thank you for telling me all about it." Jerry smiled at her. Then he spoke hesitantly, "Suppose you keep it under your hat, So-so. Don't let on to Fred and Connie that I told you first." "I won't." "Good girl. * Now I'm going to run along and be on hand when Fred comes down, Won't we be the white-haired boys around here?" "So-so watched him stride across the field to the office, "He'll be fa- mous some day," she mused. "How proud Constance will be." Across at the far gide of the field there was some sort of commotion, It couldn't be a crack-up, but some- thing had happened. The resident _ doctor was crossing the fleld at a run. Some one shouted, '"Ambul- ance." So-s0 wondered ahout it all. Why was that man running toward the Crowsnest? Why didn't he use the office phone? He was near now, his face white. "So-80," he ealled, "So-so--your father-----" So-go steadied herself against the door. "What is it?" she asked through a tight throat, "Your father--some sort of at- tack--we must get him to the hos- pital y" So-s0 stepped out of the Crows- nest and began to run across the field, hatless, coatless, everything forgotten save the urgent need to. get to her father's side at once. She heard the clang of the ambulance as she ran, There was her father, half supported by one of the mech- anics, He was breathing stertor. ously, and a little trick of blood ran from his mouth, "Is he hurt? Quick, tell me." Dr. Schofield looked at her pity. ingly, "No, Solange, not hurt, put he's having some kind of internal hemorrhage, we must get him to the hospital at once." ' 2 Din "Will he get well?" "I'm afraid not." "How long?" "A matter of hours." "Then not the hospital. Let us take him home, where things will not seem strange to him." The doctor nodded kindly, "If you'd rather," he said. "I'll go with you. Lift him gently, men." . ------ the Mixed Claims Commission estab- lished under the German-American agreemen of 1922, This agreement gave the United States approximately $13,000,000 an- nually. Under the 1925 agreement the amount the United States would be entitled to under the 2% per cen payments would be limited to a maximum of 45,000,000 gold marks per year. ' SIX KILLED IN SUNDAY CRASHES (Continued from Page 1) making a loop and the machine fell from a height of 2,500 feet. Louis Scott, 19, mechanic, was fatally injured, and O. G. Corben, pilot, was slightly hurt in a crash near Pawhuska, Okla., in an at- tempt to land after engine troub had developed, the plane struck high tension wires and fell into a ditch. Four persons were injured, two seriously in a crash of a plane in an attempted take off at Roosevelt Field, N.Y. The seriously hurt were Dorothy Gusnell, 25, Balti- more, Md., and Mrs, Lucianne De La Paulle, New York.

The Conservatives obtained two acclamations in Northern Ireland. where Major Ronald Ross was une oposed in Londonderry, and Col, T. Sinclair was unopposed as candi- date for Belfast (Queen's) Univer- sity. Capt. H. Buglas King, minister of mines in the Baldwin Ministry, was elected by acclamation in Pad- dington South, London. Some 1730 men and women brought their papers before election officials today to secure proper cer- tification to go to the polls at the general election May 33, when 615 will be elected. i Tradition is long-founded in Great Britain that the Speaker, being a- bove party, should be unopposed, so that acclamation accorded Right Hon. Hr. Fitzroy today was anticipated, Right, Hon, J. H. Whitely, who re- tired as Speaker last year, had a walk-over in the last three elections, Lord: Ullswater, formerly Speaker Lowther, was likewise unopposed dur- ing his term of 16 years in the Speak- er's chair, Hy Acclamations are not new to Tay Pay O'Connor, his éntry to the House of Commons for more than a decade being without a political fight. The venerable parliamentarian and public. ist, who is in his 81st year, is at pre- sent suffering from chromic rheuma- tism, and at the dissolution of Parlia- ment on May 10, he was wheeled up to the Speaker's table in a chair to shake hands with the Speaker. The Nationalist party in Ireland will be represented in the House of Commons for the first time since the Irish Free State was established as the result of the election by accla- mation of Joseph Devlin, Irish Na- | tionalist leader, and Thomas J. S. Harbison, also a Nationalist, in the Fermanagh and Tyrone division of Northern Ireland, which elects two members. Fermanagh and Tyrone was repre- sented in the last Parliament, by two Conservatives, Sir C, Falls and J. A. Pringle, who defeated Republican opponents by more than 37,000 ma- jority. As a protest against what it felt to be the intervention of Eamon De Valera, Republican leader, in Ulster politics, the official Nationalist party did not nominate candidates in the last election, There was the usual crop of in- cidents connected with the nomina- tions today. W. S. Sanders; the Labor candidate for North Batter- sca, London, refused to shake hands with the Communist candidate and member of the last House, S. Sak- latvala, One of Sir Kingsley Wood's nomin- ation papers as Conservative candi- date for Woolwich West, London, was entirely signed by Liberals, while one of the papers of the Liberal leader, right Hon, David Lloyd George, was exclusively signed by 4 Llandudno Conservatives. Among the papers put in for the City of London Conservative candi- dates was one exclusively signed by women, headed by the wife of Dean Inge of St. Pauls Cathedral, The record number of papers were handed in on behalf of Right Hon, J. C.C. Davidson, i Hoi and Conservative candidate for Hempstead, Herts. The woman agent for T. H. Ag- gett, the Liberal candidate for the Sutton Division of Plymouth, Lady Astor's Seat, took the nomination papers to her home in the country for the week-end and found there was no bus this morning. So she hailed a passing milk wagon, and thus reached town in time to file the papers, One nomination papers on behalf of J. F. Shillaker, Labor candidate for action, Middlesex, was signed entirely by flappers, MAY CALL ON UNITED STATES (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Washington, D.C,, May 20.--A sug- gestion that the United States may be called upon to make some finan- cial concession in the effort to bring about a solution of the tangled Ger- man Reparations problem is seen by some observers in President Hoover's Sunday evening conference with con- gressional leaders, The meeting, which began shortly after the President's return from his week-end visit to his Virginia fish- ing preserve, was officially described as intended to give him an oppor= tunity to acquaint the Congressional leaders "with the purpose of the Ex- perts Committee on eparations which has been meeting in Paris." Secretary Stimson, who issued the only official statement on the purpose of the conference, added that the Reparations Committee "is now ap- parently approaching the end of its labors and it is possible that a report may soon be made which may re- quire action by the executive."
