AMERIGANADTD GERMANY CONES P Oficials However, Refuse to Dis- ouss Details of Plans Washington, Dec. 22.—The question of America extending aid toward the solution of the economic troubles of ¥urope has been brought sharply to the front with the emerging of a plan under which an American commis- sion would determine what Germany should pay the allies in reparations. The proposals so far has been dis- cussed outside the formal channels of diplomacy but an understanding in authoritative circles has developed through an exchange of views that the United States, Great Britaln and Germany are willing to assent to the creation of such a commission. Pre- mier Poincare of France now has the plan before him and is expected to make a decision when he has con- cluded a series of conferences with in- dustrial leaders of France and of Ger- many. From the beginning of the present discussion officials of the Washington government have been unwilling to do more than to hint a way was being sought to render ald toward a Europ- ean settlement and so far have re- fused to discuss the plan for an American commission. Becretary Hughes last night, however, issued a briet statement which avoided any mention of details and said that the “government” had presented no "pro- posal” on the subject. The method of sounding out all those directly in- terested before any definite proposal is submitted with . the full force of government authority is a familiar one in nexotlnuonl‘ of great delicacy.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1922, (WILL HUNT GIANT SLOTH IN SOUTH Prof, Riggs o1 Chicago Starts Tor Argentine on Trip Buenos Aires, Dec. 22,—(By Assoct- ated Press)—Before Prof. Elmer 8. Riggs, a Chicago paleontologisy, salled for Patagonla today on a fossll ex- pedition. for the Fleld Museum he was informed by Prof. K Clemente Onelli, director of the Buenos Alres zoological garden, that reports of a pleslosaurus were still being recelved from the territory of Chubut, despite the failure of a group of Argentine sclentists to find the prehistoric crea- ture last spring. “It I meet that, plesiosaurus,” sald Prof. Riggs to Prof. Onelli, “I'll put a larlat around his neck and lead him direct to the Buenos Aires z00," The Chicakoan visited the Argen- tine paleontologian and heard from him the story of Patagonia's monster, listening with interest to the account of the unsuccessful search of the An- dean lake region where the creature was supposed to have been seen, Prof., Riggs sald that the data was very in- teresting but that it could not tempt him from his fossil hunt. The plans for this expedition, he asserted, were still too indefinite to allow him to state whether he would visit the re- puted haunts of pleslosaurus, A Giant Sloth. Prof Oneilli explained that the name plesiosaurus was a misnomer|: and that the creature he still belleved alive in the Patagonia wilds s prob- ably a survivor of the race of giant sloths. Prof. Riggs and his companions will sail to Rio.Gallegos, from which place they will proceed northward on horseback to search along the coast of the territory of Santa Cruz for fos- sils of the Niocene period which are known to exist there. Prof. Riggs said he expected to find the small fossilized: ancestors of the Glyptodon which reached a gigantic size in the pleistocene period. The expedition will main in that region during the entire southern summer and will then pro-. ceed northward and into the interior in a search for pleistocene specimens. The scientists plan to remain in Ar- gentina for a year and a half. Prof. Riggs expressed regret that he had no opportunity to view the re- mains of the dinosaur with nine foot thigh bones which explorers of the La Plata Museum are recently re- ported to have unearthed.
