Paris. Brigadier-General Charles G.
Dawes, U. S. 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.

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.

WHAT TO HAVE FOR DINNER
A MOST tasty nnd attractive serv
ing of meat may be prepared by
larding a beef tenderloin or two With
very small strips of salt pork. Cut
the LardOOnj from the lirm salt ixirk
nearest the rind they will be firmer.
Pull the lardooni through the fillet so
that short ends will protrude on eacli
side. By placing them at regular in
tervals a very pretty effect Is made.
Brush the meat with a quarter of a
teaspoonful Of mustard to each tea
poonful of salt, using a teaspoonful
Of salt to each pound of the meat. Ar
range In a small roaster, place slices
of salt pork at the side and on this
place a fat roll of well-seasoned stuf
fing prepared from broad crumbs sea
soned with Bage and onion, enriched
with egg and but ter and seasoned well
with salt nnd pepper. Parboil enough
potatoes for the family with an onion
apiece. Place a potato, then an onion
alternately around the roast. Cover
ami bake until the meat is brown and
the vegetables tender. Serve with the
meat in the center of the platter and
vegetables and stalling arranged
around it as they were In the roaster.
Jellied Cranberries.
Add a cupful of water to a quart of
cranberries anil cook until they may
bo put through n sieve; add a cupful
nnd a half of sugar loss if desired;
return to the tiro and Just bring to the
boiling point to dissolve the sugar. Too

Into the dish now known as
"hasli" a form of food which
runs a close second to prunes In
Its mirth-provoking propensities
owe a debt of gratitude to the
French language, because we ob
tain "hash" almost directly
from the French by tho elimina
tion of the final syllable of
haehis.
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.
