German and Allied Delegates Advance One Step Toward New Understanding PARIS. May 29. (AP) Agreement on revised annuities of German World war reparations, the major task that has engaged the experts In Paris for nearly 16 weeks, was reached by the Ger man and creditors tonight There remain for discussion conditions and reservations as to application of these general fig ures, some of which may be re ferred to the governments con cerned for later negotiation, but are not expected t o occupy the delegates long. The final agreement was a com promise, and a compromise reach ed on the basis of proposals by Owen D. Young, American chair man of the conference who more than once earlier had drawn his associates out of a seeming dead lock. His proposals has been al tered only by adjusting It to spe cial conditions.

There are 85,000 persons em ployed in the various branches of linen manufacture In the Belfast area, Mr. Brooks said. Because of the fact that raw materials are imported, In this and other In dustries, wages and the standard of living are low and there Is much unemployment. The aver age pay is about 25 cents an hour, and things counted as ne cessities here are rare luxuries in Northern Ireland. As compared to Oregon's ratio of on emotor vehicle to every four persons, the ration there is one to 40 and the vehicles are mostly tiny cars because of the tax based on cylinder area. Most of the cars have seven horsepow er engines; the tax on an Ameri can six cylinder car would be about $110 a year, with an equal cost for insurance. About 35.000 persons In North ern Ireland, which has an area equal to Harney county, are re recelvlng "doles' from the gov ernment because of disability or unemployment. Northern Ireland, which has a relation to the government of Great Britain similar to that of a state to the United States, has furnished America the ancestors of 13 presidents and of many other famous men. Mr. Brooks said. Every resident, almost, has a relative in this country. "....Lest we forget!" Patriotic in wartime, both in It contribution of men and In ths loyalty of its citizens who found tt their lot to remain at home, Salem is in little danger of forgetting those for whom Memorial day has been set apart.

Memorial Day Revival Effected Yet, for a decade prior to the World war. Memorial had nieaat but little in many communities, because the Grand Army of tao Republic, surviving comrades ot the men in whose honor Memorial day was first designated, had passed the years of active influ ence, and the war with Spain had not been prolonged sufficiently to create a lasting revival ot that pa triotic fervor.
