RUPARATIQNS STATEMENT BY . GERMAN FOREIGN MINISTER Stuttgart, Feb, 15.—(By the A. Dr. Simons, the German foreign minister speaking heré tcday, declared that a closer examination of the Paris proposals only confirmeg the judgment he had al- ready prnosnced in the reichstag. A ing. to' the speeches of Mr. Lloyd Geors: M. Briand &nd Count Sforza. he debl:red that none of them even tried to show how Germany could pay-the enormous annui- ties of six billiops in gold, But merw advanceq fantastic and Dbaseless fizures cecncerning the magnitude cf German ex- ports.

Germanv was taking’ her obligatiors seriously and would take pains to make bproocsals ieh, though unadorned with fantastic figures, would have the advantaze of be- Ing praciicable znd mee'ing the most argent requirements of t%e allied coun- tries. The main defeet in the Paris proposals. Dr. Simons c:ntended, lay in considering the probiem too qmuch as one of finance and too litde as one of production, and 1 complete neglect to investizata the effsct on the world’s production of ] financial performances required of Ger- many. In this connzction he saverely cri'icized thé proposeq duty on German exports. Deklraing that France and Beleium must not continue to refuse Germanv'a te¢nnical collaboration in restoring the devastated dreas, without themselves be- ing able to solve the problem. he said. “Gremany is effering unselfish assisi- ance. She wisies neicher to found colo- nies nor to make public buildine profits: She only does not want to pay enormous sums fir work she eould have carried out at far smaller cost.” \ In conclusion the foreign minister safd ®qually d'sadcantageous was the absence of Américan representation in the settle- ment 6f the reparations problem, anmd added: “If our opponents expect an enormous jncreass in German exports thy should te anxious to direct German industrv to- wards the eastern markets, instéad of towards “their own whereas. it would appear in this respect also they are pur- suing a poliey of strangulation vident- ly, by the frusiration of German econ- omic negotiaticys with easicrn states. The problem can only be taken in hand efficlently if, jnsteag of ideas of punish- mént and competition, ideas of help and solidarity are placed in the forefront.” CLOTHING. WORKERS NOT COMING TO UNITED STATES New York, Feb. 13—Clothing workers from Western Europe will not come to the United States until the existine struggle ' between clothing workers and employes here has been settled. it was announced today by the Amalazmated Clothing Workers' Associaticn. The in- formation, was received in a letter from . Van Der Heeg of Ams>rdam. president of the International Clothinz Workers' association who addeq that a compre- hensive_teport of the American strike has been sent to affiliated labor organ- izations throughout the world. The Amalgamated Clothing Workers' Atlociation also announced that settle- ments on a basis of 44 hours a week and union terms have been arranged with 200 employing firms in various cities in the United Stafes. , STAPICIOUS FIRES 1IN MILLS OF MANCHESTER. ENG. Minchester, England Feb. 13.—The sithultaneous outbreal of a number of fires in several mills nd factories in Manchester, Failsworth, Boynton and Rockdale Saturday ht were accomp- anied by suspicious circumstances such as the fleeing of men actinz suspiciously. some of whom were fired at. All the fires were quickly discovered and quenched before serious damage re- sulted. . Sir Robert Peacock, chief constable. consilers he has obatined evidence that the fires were due to the work of “Irish irreconcilables. Altogether eight fires were started ang each insiance, entrance to the building was gained by breaking win- dows. Rags, soaked with petrol, were , employed to start the fires.

Mr. Harding mentioned no names and did mot refer directly to published stor- =3 that some republican senators had vigorously opposed ! certain tentative se- lectiors. He did deny, however, stories ::az Xt\le ;’xi encountering .more delay an he had expected in cabinet slate. - i One of the movements which has taken On greater proportions recently is that for selection of a southern republican to the cabinet. - The president-elect said he had received many petitiods in support of Repres:ntative Slemp of Virginia apd several others from southern states, but regarded ' these as_more _personal .un; sectional in their "nature. Ha woul throw no light on Mls intentions in re- gard to southern representation in the cabinet, Although Mr. Harding is considering. the question of diplomatic appointments along with the cabinet problem, it is not expected now that he will atempt any selections for diplomatic vosts before in- auguration. Some of those now consid- rred for the cabinet may later be trans- ferred to the ambassadorial list. Today the presiden’-elect saw Senator McCormick of Illinois, in regard to for- 2ign affairs and Senalor McNary of Ore- gon rolative to a program for western reclamation. He also had a long talk with A. S. Hough, editor of the Jackson- ville Times Union, about plans for a world peace association and said after- wards he was much ‘mpressed by Mr. Hougl's recommendatious. Senator McCormick who recently made a trip abroad and conferred with many of the leadinz Furoneay, 'tatesmen, is understood to have brought a detailed report of tha fesling among them in re- gard to revislon of the league of nations cqvenant and velat.ve subjects. He is said the European na‘ions stocd ready to fol- low the lead ,f the United States in the formulation of a rew basis for world peace. In connection with the visit of Sena- tor McNary it was learned that Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, a. democrat who was defeated for re-election, is, under consideration for one of the democratic places on the shipping board. Senator McNary is undegstood 15 be in accord with such a selection and Mr. Harding has expressed many times his admiratien for Mr. Chamberlain’s abilities. Thomas W.

P.)—=Discoveries made by William Duane, professor of #Bio-Pnysics * at Harvanl, working im collaboraiion with researgh padents of psysics, have made it possi- acconding to.Harvard physicisis, tp secure X-rays of more penetrating qual- ity than have ever before been obtained in- this . col , and thése new rays are now to be used for the firet. time in America for the alleviation of cancer. White it .is emphatically . ated by Professor Duane that neither X-rays nor radium should be considered & permm cure. for all kinds of cancer, it has long been known that radium has a marked alieviative effect upon dhis 'disease, and th Harvanrd physicise have reason to be- eve that the effect of thhe new highly- éred’ng a new building adjoining the Col¥is' P.

Pennsyivania in 1892 and also from Hariard in 1893. He took his doctor’s degree m Berlin in 1397, worked for many years in the Curie Ra- @um Leboratory at Paris, apd mme io Harvard in 1913 as assistant professor of Phyxics and Research Fellow of the can- commiseion. In 1917 he was promoted full professcehip of Bio-Physics. The significance of the discovery was cxpleined in the following statement to- da. “The advantage of X-mys over radium is that the latter is scarce and iwemense- iy ‘expensive, costing ai' present over $100,000 a gram, and can therefore oniy be uead in small quankities. 1f X-rays uely more powerful than e with the linsted amount amount of radium avaiable. The trouble with, the use of X-rays up to tivis time has been that they. are rot as penetrating 36 the so-called ‘Gamema raji’ of raa- the problem of the Harvard phyeiclls bas been tc secure this needed quaY, g “It was known that to secure penetra- tion it was necessary to Secure a hign frequency of vibratéon. The Hatvard physicists after a great nwmber of experi- at length found that paysical law known as the ‘quantum law' appled to the: Xerpy epectrum .and dissowsved that fhey could increase the frequemey of the rays, and thus their penetration, by in- creas’ng the voltage of current used in the X-ray {ube. ' Professor Duane re- poits that the tube goes to pieces’after a voltage of more than 150,000 voits, but that suffifently high voltage has been secured to make the X-rays very nearly as effeative for certain medical purposes as the Gamama rays of radium. “The Gerwans, it is said. have made gread headway recently with the use of high-frequency X-rays in alleviating cancer but these particular rays Have not been usel m Americe up s s time.” The discovery of the appliontien of tne “quantum law” to the X-ray ep. is thus descriGol in detail: ‘“The princ‘pal object was to secure X-rays of very penetrating qualiy. It was already known that the peas=ation increases as the cube of the freqaency of vibration of the ray, and thus the problem became to increase the frejuen- cy. “The discovery of the applicerfon of the auantum law to the X-ray spectrum was then mdde, according to which the fre- vy a certajh well ¢ in physict knowm as “/L equaly the energy wivch the eleciron has in the X-ray tube when it strikes the target. “Jt was also known iha. the smerzy is equal to the charge which the eleetd n hae, mult'plied by the voraze apnlied to e tuve. Therefore it became o'car that M2 frequency. and thus penctration, woull resut from an increase in the voXage.” POLICEMEN FIRED UPON IN MINGO COUNTY, W. VA, ‘Williamson, W.
