TTTT3 MOHXIXG OTtEGOXIAX, FRIDAY, DrCE3IBER 10, 1921 3 IS JO PAY OBLIGATIONS Official Notification Given Reparations Commission. MORATORIUM IS ASKED If That la Not Grunted Nation Says fclie Will lie Forced to Op eration of Credit. PARIS. Dec. 13. (By the Associated Tress.) Germany will not be able to meet In full her reparations payments of l.OOU.000,000 gold marks falling due January 15 and February 15. and has so informed the allied, reparations commission. A moratorium Is not asked for by Germany in its note, which merely lays Germany's financial situation be lore the reperations commission as evidence of Germany's inability to meet the installments, each of 500.- 000,000 gold marks. Neither is any release from her obligations requested by Germany, which apparently has left the matter entirely in the hands of the commission. The commission probably will meet Immediately to consider the note. which will be refered to the allied governments. The note is said to have declared Germany has succeeded in raising 'certain portions of the funds neces sary to meet the payments but is un fcble to obtain the balance. BERLIN', Dec. 15. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The German govern ment, it was announced today, has informed the committee of guarantees that it is impossible for Germany to pay the sum due in reparations Jan uary 15, and that she consequently asks a moratorium. If the moratorium Is not granted, the German government, it states, will be compelled to have recourse to .credit operation in order to procure the necessary funds by means of loans. INDEMNITY CHANGE FOHECAST Officials Have Predicted Gcr- many'a Inability to Pay Out. WASHINGTON", Th C, Dec. 15. An nouncement of Germany's inability to meet in full the reparation payments due in January and February was re ceived today by government officials Without surprise. While officials wee not inclined to comment on the situation taking the position that it was a matter which did not directly concern this country, government economists have ad vanced the view for tome time that Germany would be unable to do more than meet the next two reparation payments under present indemnity terms. Officials in close touch with European developments maintain that ome rearrangement of the repara tions plan is necessary. AR0NESSHURRIES EAST . Japanese Envoy's AVife Anxious to Ilcach Sick Husband. BAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15. (Spe cial.) Anxious to reach the bedside of her husband, who has been ill for some time, Baroness Masako Shide hara, wife of Kei Shldehara, Japanese ambassador to the United States, ar rived yesterday from Japan on the liner Siberia Maru, She was accom panied by her son, Michitaro Shlde hara. , The baggage of Baroness Shidehara and her son was hastened through customs in order to permit her de parture for Washington last night. The baroness has been visiting rela tives and friends in Japan for the last seven months. She was one of the most popular women on the vessel, and is also a -favorite in Washing ton's diplomatic society. Word via wireless received by Bar oness Shidehara said that her hus band was now well on the road to recovery, she said. eve. cial.) today END OF FUNDS IS SEEN (Tontlnuert From First Pn ge. ) mission decided that since the 6', per cent bonds had been advertised, they would have to receive bids on that basis. The high premium offered hy the dealers shows a big advance in the bond market In the past few months. Wasco county asked that the com mission adopt the Eight-Mile creek route between Seufert and Dufur as the location of The Dalles-California highway. This route, according to the report of the division engineer, is four mlleR longer than another loca tion having & 6 per cent grade. The county court favored the Eight-Mile cieek route, with its grade less than 3 per cent, even though it is longer and will cost $5C,000 more to grade and macadamize. The 6 per cent grade route had no friends among the Wasco delegation. The commis sion announced no decision. Benton County Request Denied. Request from Benton county that the commission t.-.ke over as a state highway the county road connecting the paved highways at Corvallis and Albany, was not granted. The com mission said that if made a state highway people would immediately demand the paving of the ten miles, which would cost J300.000. The dele gation offered to launch a bond issue to co-operate in building the con nection as a state road. It now costs about $10,000 a year to n.alntain with a macadam sur'ace. Practically all north-and-south bound traffic on the raciflc highway uses this connection. Lane county is not in position to finance a bridge at Harrisburg on the Pacific highway and the highway location via Coburg would cost the county less, explained a delegation. The highway commlssim believes that it should pave to Harrisburg, -but the best arrangement for the state would be to make the connection at Junc tion City. After watch'ng the river conditions there for the past three winters, the connection at Junction City does not look favorable. Lane county also took up with the com mission the charges which the com mission has made against the county, with a view to eliminating some of the Items. Linn county was offered $100,000 t the commission to be used for co operation anywhere that the county desired. A proposal was submitted by a Linn delegation for the creation tf a road improvement district to the ivd that a good macadam road be provided from Albany to Cascadia and thence on to the proposed skyline highway. Details of this project are to be worked out by the people of the county. Grant county filed a request for building the John Day highway be twea Prairie City and Unity.

Un der a rule limiting debate to two hours, the house late today took up the bill to approviate $20,000,000 for the purchase of grain and other food supplies for distribution in the fa mine districts of Russia.

The vote of 237 to 44 In favor of taking up the measure under limited debate indicated, however, its pro ponents said, passage by a safe mar gin.

But Poteet keeps on working for $1 a day, board and lodging. He de posits the royalty checks and lives on the dollar he earns. He la married and has two children. SHOPLIFTERS ARE ACTIVE (Continued From Flirt Page.) statement in which he advised per sons who might think of taking up shoplifting as a financial aid to Santa county his $150,000 bonds available to use for co-operation. The com mission suggested that the first con sideration is to open up the road between Prairie City and the Dayville end and is willing to place the state's money on the Prairie City-Unity end when the Dayville region is taken care of. Lincoln county lost four bridges on its market roads in the recent freshets and, being financially hard hit, solicited the commission to re place the structures. The commission has the matter under advisement. Bid Are Received, Following is the list of low bids received yesterday: Coos county Myrtle Point-Bridge section Claus to make a sudden change of heart, as the management of the de partment stores have advised the po lice that they are going to prosecute every shoplifting charge with vigor. He likewise points out that the police and private store detectives have met with no little success In the arrest of shoplifters, and the person who thinks he might be able to "out smart ' the officers is likely to find himself in a lot of trouble around about Christmaa Highway Opened to Autos.
