A., chairman of the first committee of experts appointed by the reparation commission to consider the resources and capacity of Germany looking to a solution of the repara tions problem, delivered a straight forward, hard-hitting speech at the opening of that body here Monday. He declared he could speak neither for the government of the United States nor for tho American people, but as an individual. After reviewing the situation from the standpoint of an American business man, he made an earnest plea for common sense and practical co-operation among the na tions, so that Germany's productive ness could be restored to her that she might meet her obligations. With characteristic forcefulness General Dawes denounced "the inces sant misrepresentations and intoler able interjections of those foul and carrion-loving vultures the national istic, demagogues of all countries who would exploit their pitiful personali ties out of a common misfortune." The American plan, as briefly out lined by the chairman, consists of sta bilization of German currency and bal ancing tho German budget, and, he declared: "As the economic processes of Germany under a stable currency and with a balanced budget are re vived there will be demonstrated the capacity of Germany to pay. Let us first help Germany to get well." "The experts got off to a breezy start." This expresses the general sentiment in reparations and diplo matic circles of tho beginning of the work of the experts. General Dawes' "legendary energy," as M. Harthou put it, seemed to send a draft of fresh air throughout repara I ions headquarters, which had not ap peared to shelter so much activity be fore since the commission was organ ized. "Can he keep them up to it?" was a Question asked repeatedly around the buildings, when it became known that General Dawes would propose that his colleagues work night and day until they got somewhere with the inquiry. Other members of the delegation were heartily with General Dawes in the desire to make as short work as possible of their task, but OBIfl of them aro rather frightened at the Idea of threo sessions daily. The gcnornl has conceded a point by agreeing that the night meetings should be merely informal personal exchanges of views among the mem bers. The impression made by General Dawes' speech was in every way fav orable, inside and outsldo of repara tion circles, excepting in extreme na tionalist quarters, whero his reference to "nationalistic demagogues" cuused some slight, emotion. One of tho llritish delegates said, "The impression wns most favorably the beginning of tho discussions augurs well." Colonel James A. Logan, American unofficial observer on tho reparation commission, expressed himself to the same effect, while M. Barthou, presi dent of the commission, declared that the committee could not have got to Work under better auspices. ALIEN FUNDS' USE IN BUSINESS URGED Root in Surgeon's Care. New York. Klihu Hoot, ex-secretary of state, Monday underwent what was described as n successful opera tion at the New York hospital. The nature of the operation was withheld by the physicians, who simply said that Mr. Root was resting comfort ably. Later it was learned that the operation was for removal of a stone in the kidney. It was said Mr. Root would he at the hospital for two or three weeks. $180,000,000 Cash on Deposit Available. CUSTODIAN REPORTS Revival of Commerce With ex-Enemy Countries and Profit by Gov ernment Held Possible. Washington, D. C Creation of a federal agency to utilize in productive enterprise the enemy funds on de posit in the treasury to the credit of the alien property custodian was pro posed in the annual report of Colonel Thomas W. Miller, tho custodian, made public Sunday. Colonel Miller suggested that two ends would be served by returning the funds to active enterprise revival of business and commercial relations with the former enemy countries, and the reaping of profits by the federal corporation which, if desired, could be applied to settlement of claims whicli later might be adjudicated by the mixed claims commission. "There is approximately $180,000,- 000 of cash on deposit in the United States treasury to the credit of the alien property custodian, which sum will increase as the liquidation policy Is carried out," Colonel Miller said. "It is suggested that a plan be con sidered whereby that portion of the remaining alien property represented by cash in the treasury may be util ized in reviving trade and the com mercial relations which formerly ex isted between this country and the former enemy powers. "To all Intents and purposes this sum represents available capital re moved from the channels of trade and should be put to a useful purpose. Such a governmental agency, similar to the War Finance corporation, hav ing a capital of several hundred mil lion dollars, would be capable of earn ing enough on this sum to not only settle American claims, when they are finally adjudicated, but return in full the property or its equivalent to the former enemies when tho affairs of the alien property office aro finally terminated. "There are a number of enemy cor porations whose assets were seized and liquidated by this office which would thereby bo encouraged to re sume business in this country." Colonel Miller said thero were two divergent schools of thought with ref erence to disposition of tho alien property. One side, he said, would utilize immediately tho private prop erty of our former enemies for the payment of tho debts of the former enemy governments when they are adjudicated by the mixed claims com mission. Tho other would return im mediately all property seized under the trading with the enemy act. He did not comment on tho merits of either programme, but reiterated that some use should bo made of the idle funds which had been withdrawn from actlvo business.

Tho hashed-up or cut-up food. In question did not begin to be known as "hash" until our fore fathers tired of calling it "hashee" In close imitation of the French word In which the final "s" is not sounded. This rfoun is derived from tho verb hacher, to rhop, or slice or shred, and. in its turn, came from the same Teutonic source as our own verb "back." Being famous for their cooking, the French early recognized the tasty appetizing qualities of cooked moat, cut into small hits and highly seasoned with vari ous kinds of sauces and condi ments. This "hashis" made Its appearance in England many years ago. but It did not take long for the word to he short ened by the elimination of the final "eo" sound, and now, speaking literally, "hash" Is a synonym for a little of every thing. There is no foundation, however, for the legend that name of the dish came from the fact that the cook who orig inated It conceived the Idea while under the influence of "hashish" or hemp from which the word "assassin" is directly derived.
