Dr. Simon, German foreign minister, will tell the Reichstag today that Ger many cannot accept the allied rep aration demands, because they are impossible of fulfillment. Just German Bluster. NEW YORK . Feb. 1 (United Press). Berlin's protest against the indemnity fixed by the allies is only the usual German bluster. Cumula tive evidence of Germany's astonish ing recovery in foreign trade has demonstrated that the German peo ple can pay the just penalty which has been imposed upon them. With out publicity the Germans have been quietly developing overseas com merce since the armistice so success fully that they are aspiring to new high records of foreign Industrial conquests. During the first five months of last year Germany export ed more than 238 billion marks worth of goods, which is nearly two and one-half times as much as the entire exports for the year 1919. German manufactures ot all kinds are being sent to almost every part of the world. British working men are protesting agninst German rival ry even in the British home markets. The influx of German goods has caused much alarm in Holland and Scandinavia. German machinery, cut lery, toys, musical instruments, are being forced in large quantities into South America. e Wilson to Call Senate Session Plants Reopened on Large Basis (By Aaioctuted Pre.,). .

Vinson of Umpqua Is spend ing a short time In this city today transacting business matters. A definite agreement has been reached between the public service commission of Oregon and the Pa cific Telephone and Telegraph com pany regarding the adjustment of rates and the employment question. Recently the company announced that because of the low rates exist ing that It would he unable to con tinue the employment of many of Us crews and operating forces and Im mediately made a poll of the em ployes to ascertain their preference in regard to transfers to California or Washington. The employes im mediately filed with the public ser vice commission a request to advance its decision in order to forestall the action of the company in regard to discharging or transferlng obout 700 of its employes, the change being scheduled for Feb. 1. The commis sion, however, stated that it was un able to comply with the request, as an Immense amount of work pre vented any action. Consequently the commission requested the company to delay any action in regard to its employes until after Feb. 15. By that time, the commission states. 'it will have had time to complete Its investigations and will be able to give its final report. In answer to this letter, the com pany agreed to delay Its action, a copy of the letter written by .Tames T.

On Sunday evening In response to the invitation given by Kvungellsl Bulgin, almost 50 people responded Last night was a moxl Interesting sight when the invitation was given and so many big strong men began to walk down the aisles. There were about 20 responses to the invitation last night, at least half of them be ing big, strong men coming in sur render to the Hifiiier power. After a very strenuous day on Sunday such as was experienced here, it was thought there might be a fulling oft' in the attendance last night. Hut once again the tabernacle was full to listen to a clear, searching explana tion of a great theme. The Unpardon able Sin was mado absolutely clear from the Scripture. One of the most Interesting things last night in the presentation of his themo was the set tin); forth of Kgpy lnn life and customs, and the Gods they worshipped, bringing out in r very distinct way why God sent out the ten plagues to combat the ten gods of Egypt. Some of these gods and their worship was described, ami the. Scripture record was thus made to stand out in a way clearly to be understood. The evansellst" made a searching study of his theme, using the thought as found in the old testa ment and In the new. It was a stir ring sermon and the response .was almost Immediate Today the dinners for men will be gin in the M. E. Church with s special program. It has been decided, however, to hold only two of these dinners, one today . and another on Thursday. The program today is cen tered around the theme "How to Build a Home Town." It will be treated hygienical!: by Dr. Houck, educationally by Prof. Hamm. finan cially by George Neuner, Jr., and Mr. Clark of the Umpqua Hotel. Rev. Phelps will speak from the church standpoint. The dinner on Thursday will have another live theme and will carry out the same plan of program. The evangelist closes these tulks with his address. No address will lie allow ed more than five minutes of time. The regular afternoon lectures arc being continued. These lectures are a searching Bible study, and many people are attending and are find ing much Joy in the work they are getting. Tonight will be high school night and there will be something doing throughout. The students will be 'there in Lire numbers and th evangelist will speak on "The Un reasonableness of Man s Reason. The tabernacle will be decorated wish high school colors, the glee clubs will sing, and the meeting will be full of 'pep" from start to finish Wednesday night will be nnother en thuslastic night, because that will l Sunshine Chortis night. At least 300 of these young folks have been par ticipating In the Sunshine chorus meetings. On Wednesday night they will show us what they havo been getting. No one will want to miss the demonstration. At the meeting last night the evan gelist told the story of Sam Thack eray In his hour of sickness. Mr. Thackeray began as Janitor of the tabernacle, but took down with an abcess on his stomach and has been In critical conditions. The big audi ence made a fine offering for Mr. Thackeray, and the news was at once conveyed to him. This proves the good Christian spirit of those who are attending and helping in these meetings. A strong pressure Is being brought to bear on Ihe evangelistic team to remain another week. It seems as IT the meeting is just getting to the point where it is bearing real fruit, and touching the people of the com munity in a way that brings Joy. The next engareiiK-nt Is Ht aWlal Walla. Wash., and It Is thought by the min isters that another week here will mean a great deal, and It Is hoped that tbo plan can be arranged. May Place an Embargo on Oil (By United Preas).
