ALLIES CONFIDENT ON PAC
Dawes Plan Up Before Reparations
Committee in London.
London. The inter-allied confer
ence, which assembled in the foreign
office Wednesday morning for the
purpose of putting the Dawes report
on reparations into effect opened
In an atmosphere of optimism.
Winn the tentative arrangements
for the meeting were concluded bi
tWeen Premiers MacDouald and Her
not at Pans last Thursday, thi
French premier characterized the oc
caslon as the best day for the ententi
since the armistice was signed and
competent American and British oh
servers declared they hoped that with
in a fortnight the deliberations would
be productive of an arrangement
which will end once and for all tim
the quarrels and misunderstandings
that have been continuous among tin
nations of Europe since the hostilities
of the great war ended and the al
lied powers began their struggles to
get war compensation out of Germany
Such hopes as these have been ex
pressed prior to numerous other con
ferences of the allied statesmen dur
ing the last six years, but disappoint
ment followed as the meetings were
themselves out or abruptly broken
up. The fundamental difficulties of
the reparation problem are still un
solved but the participation of tht
United Stales through the experts
who worked In Paris for two months
this year to produce the recommenda
tions now universally known as tin
Dawes report, has given new hope
to He! allies and Germany alike, and
launched the seemingly perennial
reparations problem on an entirely
new phase.
The allies and Germany jumped to
iccepl the experts' report in principle,
and on Wednesday Mr. MucDonald,
M, Herriot, M, Theunls, the Belgian
premier, and other allied plenipoten
tiaries, together with Ambassador Kel

Philadelphia. "There is very real
danger that New York city may suffer
from an earthquake one of these days.
"Unless the world gets over its mad
search for oil, there are going to be
some radical changes on this planet."
These are some of the startling pre
dictions made by Proe.ssor David
Todd of Amherst college, professor
of astronomy, internationally-known
scientist and author of half a dozen
books and innumerable articles. Pro
fessor Todd is spending his summer
at the estate of P. M. Sharpless, near
Westchester.
Professor Todd's observations are
not based on any Sodom and Go
morrah idea of divine vengeance, but
ire, as he points out, the result of
cold, scientific reasoning. New York
city, he said, is as likely a site for
the next earthquake as any of the
United States. This is because of the
geological formation of the land be
neath it. Earthquakes almost invar
iably come at a point where two strata

or layers beneath the surface of the
ground come together. When terrific
pressure comes on this point it is in
evitable that it should crack.
According to Professor Todd, it
has been ascertained that Just such
an underground Joint lies beneath
Manhattan Island. The pressure which
will eventually force this joint apart
and cause un earthquake is due to
the thousands and thousands of tons
which are being heaped onto to the
Island in the shape of huge buildings
and foundations.
He predicted that when the earth
quake finally comes the destruction
which will follow will be far greater
nul more terrible than that which
followed the Japanese upheaval of
last summer.
Professor Todd was also pessimis
tic over the consequences of the "oil
madness" which is gripping the world
at present.
"Did you ever see a driller strike
Oil?" he usked. "If you have you will
get some idea of the tremendous
pressure which is locked up in t lie
ground beneath us. It is this pres
sure which holds the world iu shape
mil with countless hundreds of oil
wells tapping this pressure in every
part of the globe, what will be the
result t dare not predict."
Scientists have spent couslderatde
lime guessing at the result of this
mud tapping of the power which lies
beneath us. Some have predicted that
eventually there will be a huge col
lapse of the earth's surface more
destructive than uny earthquake the
world has known. Others believe that
the final outcome w ill be a change in
the climate of the earth. When geo
logists are asked as to the outcome
they seldom commit themselves.

TERIVED from "Republic",
which, in turn, obtains its
meaning from the Latin res, a
thing, and publics, public, the
name Republican as applied to a
political party in this country,
came Into being early in the Nine
teenth century. But It is Inter
esting to note thut the "Repub
licans" of that time are the
Democrats of the present day, a
complete exchange In the tenets
of the two parties.
When the original Republican
party split up Into the Democratic-Republicans
and the National-Republicans
In 1S28, the
latter party gradually dropped
the prefix to their title, while
the former dropped the suffix.
But the present Republican
party, as such, was not formally
organized until 1854-56, when,
with opposition to slavery as the
principal plank In its platform,
It commenced to take Its place
as one of the two leading politi
cal organizations. This new
party was a fusion or coalition
of the anti-slavery Whigs, the
Free-Sollers, the Know-Nothings,
the Abolitionists and some
Democrats who were opposed to
slavery.
The first Republican conven
tion was held In Philadelphia,
June 17, 1850, where John C.
Fremont was nominated for
President, but Buchanan, the
Democratic nominee, was elect

Have You This Habit?
By Margaret Morison
DOMINEERING
OP THE boys In Centre Newton,
Brown wus the brains und Smith
the boss. Brown hud been taken once
to the theater to see Julius Caesar;
and after thut he always suld that,
when he wus old enough, he would
write plays like Shakespeare. Smith
Iuughed. Then Brown said that one
day he would write a play with Smith
In It.
The years passed. As Centre New
ton was used to Smith's putting
through "his" game while lie was still
u boy, so everyone thought It natural
that he should find the choice job In
the city when he left high school. Then
he courted Lucy Cray, a whirlwind
campaign. Of course Lucy married
him. Smith was well used, by this
time, to having his own way. At the
wedding he reminded Brown of that
childhood determination to write a
play "And remember to put me in
It 1" he ended Jocosely.
Then Brown went away. It was fif
teen years before he came back to
Centre Newtown. In the newspaper,
the morning of his arrival, he reud
head lines that featured a familiar
name. "John Smith," went the
caption, "Pirate." Brown decided that
the time for his play had arrived. 'The
same evening he called at Smith's
mansion. The room In which he wait
ed for his host had a deep bay win
dow, and In It, so noiselessly had
Brown entered, two boys of thirteen
und fourteen went on whispering in
guarded voices.
"He won't know anything about It,"
urged the first.
"You know what he Is when he
doesn't get his own way," said the
second.
Brown coughed and two guilty con
spirators emerged. When they saw
Brown, they looked relieved. "Oh!
We thought you were Father 1" said
they.
Then Smith came In. It was the
same old Smith. Before Brown had
time to speak, he was sitting In a
chair chosen by Smith, listening to
Smith tulk. Although he never smoked,
he found himself lighting one of
Smith's dangerous-looking black ci
gars. After a while he brought him
self to enquire for Lucy. There was
a pause, and then an annoyed expres
sion crossed Smith's face. "You
haven't heard?" said he. "My wife
died several years ago."
Brown was quite unconscious of
what passed after that for some min
utes. Then he realized that Smith
was asking him a question. "It was
painted by that Frenchman who did
so many portraits In this country,"
Smith was saying, as he pulled aside a
curtain. There before Brown stood
Lucy Cray after three years of mar.
rled life. Brown almost groaned aloud.
He was reminded by some trick of
memory of a wounded heron he had
once found In the surf on the beach.
as tie went slowly down Smith's
broad stairs. Brown knew that th,
plot of his play was finished. As he
remembered the newspaper headlines,
and the frightened children and the
old portrait, he knew that his play
would be a tragedy. Smith's habit of
having his own way had cheated him
self most of all.
