Ellis of Brooklyn. | N. Y. conference young people’s| secretary, gave a talk on ".]nlul-r; Drops.” C. 0. D. Toasts were given | &s follows: C—Collections—Mrs. | Karl Winter of Watertown; O—Op- portunities—Mrs.J. W. Potter of Wa- terbury; D—Devotions—Mrs. Bertha | Hudson of Watertown. Mrs. Burton Young of Hartford gave the girls an idea of what they might do for | supply work during the summer. | Miss Eva Barnes of Burnside, who taught for nearly two years at| Aiken Hall, Olive Hill, Kentucky. a Home Mission school for the chil- | dren of the Kentucky mountaineers, | gave in a few minutes a vivid word picture of the town, the school and the needs of the children. This talk eerved as background for the play which followed. The yplay was entitled “Janey” and was presented by the Queen Esther girls | of Grace Methodist church, New Haven. “Janey” is a crude mountain girl from a very humble home. The | second act shows her a very changed girl after five years at Aiken hall. | The cast deserves much credit for | their impressive presentation of this | fine missionary play. At the close | Miss Gertrude Barnes of Barnesdale, | Tepresenting the Spirit of Queen | Esther gave a challenge to the dele- | gates to do even bettr work next year. She brought the rally to a very fitting conclusion by a Queen Esther prayer and benediction. Miss Lucy Ellis described Home Mission conference which fs held each summer at Northfield, while echoes from Northfield songs | were effectively given back of the eurtain by Miss Crawford of Water- town. Miss Ellis urged the girls to | attend this summer. MEMORIAL PARADE ORDERS ANNOUNCED (Continued from First Page) Junction of Franklin Square Pearl street.

About 15,000 claims demanding approxi- mately $1,500,000,000 for damages resulting from Germany's war ac- were submitted to the com- mission and it early became ap- parent that, under the old method of hearing them one by one, at least 32 years would be required to dispose of them. So Judge Parker decided to introduce a new system of procedure, The normal method would have been for the umpire to act only in cases where the commissioners rep- resenting America and Germany disagreed. Judge Parker, however, had the claims classified and typical cases selected in each group. He then sat with the other commis- sioners to hear arguments, and de- cisions were brought in en these test cases laying down broad gen- eral principles to be observed fin As a result many were disposed of by agreement on the facts by the German and Ameri- can legal agents. Now, five years after the commis- sion began work on the longest list of claims ever presented to auch a tribunal, complicated cascs remain to be dis- posed of, the sum involved has been reduced to $250,000,000 and 94 per cent of all of the Americans who have received awards will be paid in full within the next few weeks. The other six per cent, whose awards exceed $100,000 each, will receive that amount as part pa ment and the remainder, with in- terest, in installments. These awards are being paid un- der provisions of the alien property law recently enacted by congress. which new post of war claims arbiter and er to adjudicate the claims of Ger- assigned to a neutral {man, Austrian and Hungarian citi- Iffl* Quality - FROCKS RAYON SLIPS — Women's rayon slip with hem, heavy colors, pink, hid, coral and $1 to 44.

His post of commissioner of the tripartite claims commission is even more complicated than either of the other two. In that capacity he is arbiter not only of Americans’ claims against' Austria and Hun- gary, but of difficultles arising be- tween those governments. United under the Hapsburg monarchy dur- ing the war, they now are separate nations, but remain jointly liable for damages incurred by American nationals in the war, Determina- tion of the relative liability of each, therefore, is one of Judge Parker's | tasks.
