Nearly 600,000 telephone calls went through the hands of Washington's 2,000 operators yesterday, making it one of the busiest days in the his- tory of the service here, but one that will be remembered for the skillful way in which this volume of traffic | was handled. This was the state- ment made this morning by Burdett BURD) RYKE! Stryker, chairman of the Telephone and Telegraph committee of the 1923 | Shrine convention. This committee the busiest during and has ce-ordi the actlvities of | the telephone, telegraph and postal services and seen to it that the means of communication were equal to ev- ery demand.

If further inquiry “indicates that’ irregularities involved a diversion of state funds to | rivate use, charges may be preferred, ov. Groesbeck said today. A report charging gross irregulari- | tles in the handling of accounts in the highway department was made public vesterday by the governor. The investigation, the governor de- clared, has not vet progressed far | nough to show anything except that “the farther we go the more muddled it appears.” . Don’t Run J In connection with Germany's lat- est reparation proposal, submitted to the allies today, the following history of the course of efforts to collect rep- arations from Germany is of partic- ular interest: ‘The reparation commission origi- nally decided that Germany, under the provisions of the Versailles peace treaty, shoulg be assessed damages for her aggressions in the sum of 132,000,000,000 gold marks. Germany always has asserted that this amount was far beyond her abil- ity to pay. In counter proposals she has offered various sums, all of them far below the total set forth in the In addition she had hedged about her tenders stipulations which the allies, and particularly France, have refused pointblank to consider. Insufficient guarantees that jermany would make good her prom- ises always have been pointeq out by France as good reasons for that coun- try declining to give full considera- tion to her offers. First Ofier $7,500,000,000. Germany's first offer was thirty billion gold _marks ($7,500,000,000), payable at the rate of $240,000,000 annually for five years, with a new arrangement of liquidation to be worked out after that period. The offer was conditional on Upper Si- lesia being awarded to Germany and the restoration of Germany's com- mercial privileges throughout the world Her second tender was almost iden- | tiexl with amount. the first as regards the She also agreed to pay the Hot Cake Baker Becomes Heir to Enélish Fortune By the Associated Press.

C., THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1923 Moves and Counter Moves Trying t9 Make Germany Pay equivalent of a 12 per cent tax on exports. In April, 1921, came an offer of 50,000,000,000 gold marks, one billfon of which was to be,paid immediately and the remainder to be liquidated in_annuities running over a long period of time, ultimately bringing the total, with accrued interest, up to 200,000,000,000 marks. A large intern tional ‘loan to Germany was contel plated in this offer. It was made in a note addressed to President Harding for transmission to the allles. Secretary of Sta 3 Hughes_informed Germany that tl United States had found itself unable to reach the conclusion that the pro- posal afforded a basis for discussion acceptable to the allles. v Famous Paris Meetl Then, in January, 1928, came the famous meeting of the allied prime ministers in Parls, at which the repa- rations differences between these offi- cials became more accentuated. The British and French were agreed on a reparations figure of fifty billion gold marks and also on the question of _comprehensive financial control. They were in direct opposition, how- ever, on the question of penalties, France desiring to selze guarantees along the Rhine and in the Ruhr, | while Great Britain did not desire any further occupation of German terri- tory, except in the e of some fu- ture default by Germany. A few days later France, accom- panied by the Belgians and some Italian forces, entered the Ruhr. Chancellor Cuno announced in the reichstag that Germany's obligations would cease to be discharged in fur- ther direct dealings with the “treaty- breaking powers."” The last offer made by Germany was for a total indemnity payment of 20,000.000.000 gold marks.

George Washington University will launch in the fall a campaign to raise $1,000,000 with which to pro- vide bulldings and endowment fof the institution, it was announced to- day by John E. Larner, president of the Washington Loan and Trust Com- | pany and chalrman of the university board of trustees. The reasons for undertaking thls development of the university, as stated by Mr. Larner in behalt of the trustees, are the insistent demands for the facilities of the university | as_indicated by the tripling of the | enrollment during the past ten years, | the record for efficiency In education and administration estabished during the past decade, and the- entire in- adequacy of the present plant. “Since 1910 George Washington | University has experienced no deflcit |in_its “operation,” Mr. Larner sald, “and it {8 absolutely on a financially aound operating basis.
