—_—— Second Section AMERICANS DOING ANIMPORTANT WORK Small Group Headed by Ex-Navy Officer Working Hard Paris, July 27.—While the United States government has Iimited its ac- tivities in the reparations embroglio to an officlal observer, and, since the Versallles treaty has watched the problem as it became more intricate day by day, there has been a little group of Americans here for the past four years who have taken anything but a minor part in the vast work of the reparation commission. This unheralded little group constl- tutes the staff of accountants v%th the commission, and {s headed by George P. Auld, formerly an officer of the United States navy, who holds the post of accountant general. He is re- sponsible directly to the commission for the completeness and accuracy of all financial records having to do with the receipt and disbursement of money and commodities handed over by Germany. Position Individual The position of Mr. Auld with the commission is entirely individual, as he has no connection with the United States or any other government. His staff of about 20 Americans comes under the same classification. The task of the accountancy depart- ment is one of the most difficult of the commission’s work. To strike its dafly and monthly balances, it must deal with ships, Hvestock, abandoned war material, rolling-stock, coal and coke, dyestuffs, and a score of other commodities, as well as the actual cash payments of German gold marks. When the balance sheet has been tal- lied, it is necessary to render the to- tals in marks, pounds, francs, lires and dollars, The commodity valuations have been made in nearly all the cur- rencies of Furope, as well as in dol- lars. When currency pavments are made, they are immediately converted to gold through the dollar rate, with roughly four marks equalling one dol- lar. The accountancy department re- ceives the New York exchange rate for 20 or 25 countries by cable each day, and with these rates as a basis, dail¥, weekly and monthly parities be- tween the various currencies are es tablished. At the end of each month a complate report is made, showing the amount Germany has paid to date, and how It has been distributed among the Allles. Muché of this work is done by the | & the | American staff. ~ One computes value of coal from the Ruhr; another determines the worth of livestock in franes, dollars and pounds; another reduces locomotives to marks then to lires, while another one quotes ducks, geese and chickens in dollars, guilders and crowns. At the end of 1922, the accountan- ey department under Mr. Auld had whipped the miles of fignres into an intelligible report, showing that Ger- many had turned over to the Allies a erand total of $1,982,000,000, Of this cum $454,000,000 was in cash: $889,- 600,000 in commodities, and $639,00,- 000 in state propertics of ceded ter- ritories. The ships she had parted with to haif million gross talled twodlitnd a tons, val at $177,000,000. Of roll- ing stock she had delivered 4,552 lo- comotives and 127,000 wagons, worth | The livestock included oxclusive of poulutry. valuation of $40, and lignite 2207,000,000. 000 head, This was given a 000,000, The coal, coke TR TN .

When uked' to take a post with the reparations commission, he resigned from the navy to accept. The inter-allied accountancy organ- ization now has bureaus in Berlin, Es- sen, Weisbaden, Budapest and Upper Silesia. The Paris staff consists of about 100 persons, made up of Ameri cans, French, English, TItallan and Belglans. &4l The commodities section is headed by W. L. Quillindn of Cohoes, N.

CHICAGO MAKES G0 OF OPERA VENTURE, A | Business Men of All Kinds Guar- 27.- has Chicago, July Chicago gone into the grand opera husiness, and after a year's operation, the financlal statement shows that the clty is making a success of it Backed by a reglment of guaran- tors, who are to ne found in all walks |of business, commercial, industrial and | social life, as well as by the general | public, the Chicago Civic Opera com- | | pany has become almost as truly elvic |as a publie library or a public park. | The admission charged for perform- | lances, which is maderate and consid- | ered popular, though insufficient as vet to pay the full cost of entertain- ment, is the sole mark distinguish- ing the Chicago Civic Opera from other clvie Instititions with a genera! | appeal. There are 2,200 guarantors who stepped to the front when Harold McCormick and Mrs. FEdith Rocke- felelr McCormick coatributed their holdings to the then Givie Opera asso- ciation. ., It is now announced by Samucl Tn- sull, president of the Opera company. that when the deficiv for the firs civic opera season, that of 1922-1623. was finally det:rmined and made known, the guarantcrs responded im- mediately and unhesitatingly and fui- filled their pledges without demur. Mr, Insull says: “Grand Opera in Chicago thus has passed into a stage of Civic Grand Opera, supported by as representative people as would b« met by the tax collector gathering sinews for city government. The method of obtaining support close'y | approximates the municipal state sub- sidies provided operas abroad, the jsole difference belng that in Chicago a preferred list ot taxpayers of ail professions underwrite opera, while |abroad, in many Instances, financia: | 10sses are 1iquidated by general taxa- Do You Know Your Eyes?
