Members of Reparati BY A. R. DECKER. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1921 VIENNA, January 18.—The Austrian section of the reparations commis- sion has been in Vienna nearly a vear. The first task of the section was to decide the question whether it had come as an entente force to supervise the indemnity for the Aus- trian share in the lost war, or to aid | the starving and bankrupt remainder of the ruined nation in an attempt to form a repuolic. Was the Austria of today to be held responsible for 11he oid empire’s crimes while other sidered friends and even allies? After the armistice various inter- | allied committees had been studying | conditions throughout central Europe.

It is doomed to extermiunation by the greed of man; its very num- bers are its greatest danger. According to the findings of the United States bureau of fisheries, the lack of co-operation between Maryland and Virginia eventually will lead to-the decimation, if not the to- taf extinction, of the crab in the wa- ters of Maryland. This is due to the greatest difference between the laws regulating the crab-catching indus- tEy, passed by the legislature of Mar: 120d -and administered by the con- servation commission, and those passed by the Virginia legislature. “Under the Maryland law, which is steingently enforced, the female crab e~ protected during the mating sea- son and is allowed to produce her usands of eggs. The laws of Vir- ia contain no such provisions. 3t is estimated that a temale crab will produce 1,750,000 crabs in one “sponge;’ as the embryoic form of crab life is termed. ~ Of this number, at 1éast 50,000 are thought to reach ma- turity. After the egg hatches it passes through two stages before the tige crab shape is reached, after about & month. Three years is the average 1jZe of a Chesapeake bay crab. While sre are some excegtions, the female orab produces only one sponge. When, now the case, the mother is kill- .before her young are born, it will not bé' many years before crabs will ‘as scarce as whales. - \Jt has been estimated that the ty-three licensed crab dredging ts of Virginia dally scoop up 132 790 female crabs which have mated4n Miryland waters. This is during the crab season, from November to May. These 132,800 female crabs would, if allowed to live, produce 332,000,000 hatchable eggs. CIVIL SERVICE TESTS.

The soil department of the Uni- wersity of Maryland experiment sta- tion is planning for another soil test- ing campaign next spring, it was an- nounced today. Sincé the work was inaugurated last year 500 farmers have sent samples of soil from ap- mlmamy 1,600 flelds, which have tested for lime. EDMONSTON'S William F. Salisbury, jr., of Buffalo, . Y., and David M.” Griswold of Brooklyn, N. Y., pleaded guilty yes- terday ‘before Justice Gould, in Crimi- nal Division 1, to two indictments in connection with the war risk frauds, by which a number of wounded war veterans were mulcted of large sums jof money to expedite their claims against the government. Tie pair held positions as examiners of claims lin the bureau and are said to have | furnished information of claims about to be allowed and had other parties interview the prospective claimants {and arrange with them for a divisicn iof the awards. As much as 50 per cent was demanded in some cases, the gov- ernment claimed. Justice Gould referred the matter to Probation Officer Steele for investiga- tion and report. No date was set for the sentence, the mén being at lib- erty under bail. One of the two indictments charges conspitacy to commit an offense against the United States and" the other deals with the receipt of money by an ofiicial of the government in connection with a clain against the | Unitea States or in which the gov- {ernment is interested. Tie m.4%num | penalty under each of the indicuments is two years in the penitentiary and a fine of $10,000. The men can be sent to the penitentiary for a total of four vears in addition to a fine not to ex- ceed $20,000. i Sev:ral other persons outside the bureau have been indicted individual- ly and jointly with -Salisbury and Griswold and have entered pleas of not guilty. It is not known whether they wili stand trial or change their pleas. When first arraigned Gris- wold and Salisbury denied their guilt, but their counsel persuaded them to withdraw the pleas and enter pleas of guilty. ap, C.” LEFT OFF MAIL. H - | Host of Letters Stopped From Go- ing o Washington State. Two clerks are kept busy at the ‘anngtcm city post office every day yanking from the mail destined for i the state of Washington letters which 'tnre intended to be delivered to per- sons in the District of Columbia. This is due to the scores of people | here 'who persist in writing the ad- dress “Washington” merely instezd of “Washington, D. C.” The number of persons who so wrongly address iletters is to be estimated by the fact that two clerks are required to rescue such letters, it was pointed {out by officials today. \"When a letter arrives at the post [office with the ffnal address “Wash- lln‘lon," the distributor looks no fur- ther, but_throws the letter to the state of Washington pouch. Unless this pouch is combed every day scores of letters intended for local delivery start on a trip to.the far, west. 2 * FIND GIRL SLAVE MART. Armenians Brought Here, Sold to Highest Bidders.

It is expected that the committee will be nominated within the next two or three weeks. 3 Agencies Brought Together. In the formation of the council lo- cal social agencies have been brought together for the first time to study their several problems and, as far as, possible, co-ordinate their work. Not only are administrative prob- lems connected with sSocial service work in the District expected to be made easier of solution, but the coun- cil, its organizers believe, will operate effectively as a clearing house for the development of sentiment re- specting _proposed social legislation for the District. Measures, such as the bill now pending in Congress for the establish- ment of a home for feeble-minded ersons in the District, would be urg- ¢d more effectively, it is believed, ing through the council, would pre- sent a solid front in support of the legislation desired. See Community Chest. In the council's formation some of its advocates profess to see the pos- sibility of a foundation having been laid’ for the establishment in Wash- ington of a “community chest,” or single fund, to which contributions would be made for. conducting all rec- ongnized and approved social work. This experiment is being worked out clsewhere and its results will be noted carefully by the council. The committee which prepared the constitution and by-laws for the Washington Council consists of Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. J. P. S. Neligh, Newbold Noyes, William Knowles Cooper and Henry F. Burt. Cnly a few minor changes were made in the committee’s recommen- dations,. and for the most part the laws which are to govern the council carried unanimously. In addition to the regular membership, which is lim- ited to social service agencies, the constitution provides that the council may have ex officio members. This class of members will include repre- sentatives of government _depart- ments, such as the District board of charities and the board of children's guardians. In seeking to increase the efficiency of the social service work now being done in the capital, the council will make a survey to determine whether {there are any social needs in the Dis- trict that are not provided for.

Two street cars on the Le Droit Park division of the Washington Rallway and Electric Company and a heavy motor truck jthe Corby Baking Company collided at 5th and W streets last night. Otto Arnie, driver of the truck, 2406 Sherman avenue, was slightly injured. Three passengers on the street cars were injured. They are: Georgia avenue; .John W. Palmer, sixty-two years old, 712 6th street northeast, and Wiliiam 8. Barnes, colored, twenty-three years old, 209 N/_ulhslreet southwest. The motor truck was going north yon 5th street, the police rgnnrled‘ when it was struck by the cars, mov- ing in opposite directions. Gladys Porter, colored, thirty-five years old, 1908 6th street, was knocked down by a motor cycle in front of 1946 Calvert street about 8:30 o'clock last night and her left foot cut. She was taken to Emer- gency Hospital, where physicians said she was not dangerously hurt. George W.

The range of s follows: Egg coal. $14.50 to stove, $14.90 to $16.80; nut, §14.70 to $16.55; pea, $12.00 to $13.95; soft coal, $1 to $11.45. Thomas Donovan, president of ! the Central Citizens' Association and member of the committee appointed by the Federation of Citizens' Associ- ations to investigate the cause of high prices charged for coal in Wash- ington, {had considered -the prices charged for coal here “outrageous.” He said he had been reluctant to sign the com- mittee report which gave excuses for the dea raising their prices. Jesse vice president of the Federation of Citizens' Associations, jalso a member of the committee, testified that the commit- tee did not find that the dealers here were charging exorbitant rates for coal, when the prices they were com- pelled to pay for coal wers taken into consideration. Mr. Suter was ! formerly secretary of the local coal dealers’ association. He said that he had opposed the establishment of a government coal yard here. and that he believed it was one of the ¢ uting causes of hisher prices enarged private citizens for coal, since the dealers would have had the government contracts as “fillers” and could have reduced thg prices therefore o other consumers. Counsel “for the Senate committee pointed out that if the government yard had been able to supply all the local needs, government, {have saved about $1.250.000 om an- | thracite coal this winter. Tells What Government Paid. George S. Pope, in charge of the government fuel yard here, gave the prices paid by the government for coal and the prices at which it was sold to the schools and government depart- ments. He said that the overhead at the yard amounted to $1 a ton and that if the government had to meet all the charges the local dealers have to meet the overhead would be $1.45 a ton. The evidence given by Mr. Donaldson showed, however, that the difference in prices charged by the government yard and the local deal- ers had run as high as $4.06 on some coal. Prices charged by the government fuel yard given by Mr. Pope follow: Anthracite coal—Furnace. $12.39; egg, $12.59; W. A. stove. $12.69; chest- nut, $12.69; pea, $10.76; buckwheat, $8.19; R.

It did not require long for Sir Willlam Good, head of the sec- tion, and his associates to realize that nothing should be demanded {from Austria and that nothing should be taken for granted if the country was to be Kept in existence. So the | word reparations has been given a inew interpretation. It now means | “repairing broken-down Austria.” 1 {am convinced that the spirit of the section is to aid and not to mulct. Proposed Advance of Credit. Sir Willlam Good is in Paris with a plan for aiding Austria. The idea is to suggest to the powers that they shall unite in advancing $250,000,000 in credit without defining how the countries shall subscribe nor how {Austria’s securities, namely, the for- est, salt, iron ore and customs monop- olies, should be divided among tne creditors as pledges for raw mate- rials, machines and foodstuffs. All with whom the writer has talked are skeptical regarding the credit project ibecause they feel that the powers can the loan, the manner of its use or the political and economic policy to be adopted. England and Italy have a common point of view, namely, business, while with France politics predominate. Italy apparently would not object to Austria joining Germany. for this i would prevent the restoration of the Hapsburgs besides giving the econom- ical and political advantage of hav- ing a common frontier with Germany. France cannot pérmit the possibility of Germany becoming greater terri- torially through the lost war. Al- ready ‘there are signs of a lack of unity regarding the possible appor- tionment of Austria’s resources and that is why many believe that Sir William *Good's plan will meet with Gefeat. New Plan to Be Proposed. But the section of the reparations commission will pot be discouraged. It will prepare and propose a new plan. I understand that the Austrian authorities are under the impression ithat France desires to help and will advance a loan for foodstuffs. But a sum large enough to bring enduring results, Austria feels, must come from the United States. How can France or the United Stats help if the countries dissent in view of the fact that the peace treaty provides that the repara- tion commission can only secure loans as a whole? The treaty states that in refer the matter to the main body in never agree as to the advisability of | FOR U. S.

Mrs. Florence Kelley of the National Consumers’ League, chairman of the subcommittee, told the members that she had the assurance of members of | jthe interstate commerce committee | jof the House of Representatives, in {whose hands the bill now is, that that committee would report favor: {ably on the bill and that the chanci of the House following the Senate in passing the bill seemed almost cer- tain. Miss Jeannette Rankin, also of the National Consumers’ League, reported that members of the Sheppard-Towner bill committee had been in conference with leaders of the House and that they had said that they were hepeful of the passage of the bill in this ses- sion of Congress.
