The long delayed settlement of Amer- ican claims against Germany becavss of ths war seems now assured by tue sign- fug in Berlin ¢f an agreement between the United Sti':s and Germany which stipulates the procedure to be followsd in determining and adjudicating these claims, I‘ prcvires for each gov- erument to appeint ope commiss.oner and that the comm'ssion shall ms.t n Washington in two ronths. Thoe ap- pcintmant of ap umpre is left ‘o the iLnited States, a jcsc which Pres.dent tyarding has alteady filled by namirg Associate Justice Day of the supréme st The validity of zur claims aga‘:st Germany rests upor the treaty coa:.ud- ed by the two governments on Aug. 25, 1921, which racognized the rights of American natiemals under the congres- sional resolution of July 2, 1921, includ- ng ‘hose rights admitted by the Treaty of Versailles. These claims fall into three categories. First, those arising from seizure of or damage to American rroperty within the limits of the former German empire. Second, those arising as a direct consequence of the war, and originating since July 31, 1914, Third, those arising from debts owed by Ger- man nationals of the German govern- ment to American citizéns. It will take thorough investigation by an impartial tribunal to determine the exact amount of these claims, but they will obviously run into many millions. Senator Underwood has estimated that there are bona fide claims of at least 400,000,000, if not mote, although near- ly one billion dollars is the total of claims against Germany on file at the state department at Washington, many of which are no doubt susceptible of some scalifig down. It will be the duty of the commission to allow compensa- tion where compensation is due as there s no valid reason in law or fair play why American citizens should not be nbursed for the losses which ° they have suffered. Americans will expect that justice will be done by the commis- sion and with Judge Day as an umpire that such questions as come before him will be treated fairly and impartially. THE PROHIBITION POLL. Continued interest attaches t the publication by the Literary Digest of its secret poll on prohibition. This week it gives the result of 617,000 ballots, which does not differ materially from the re- sult in the first 357,000. The combined o5 of the beer and wine advocates with the wets still shows about 61 per cent with the bone drys standing at 39 per cent. The drys muster 236,329 votes, the beer and wine supporters 009, and the wets 128,500. On per- entages the beer and wife advocates lead with a fraction under 41 per cent., the bone drys have 38.2 per cent and those who would have the Volstéad act repealed are 20.8 per cent. In the irst 357,000 the bone drys had 38 per cent., the wets 21.3 per cent. and the beer and wine advocates 40.8 per cent. This week's report includes the latest factory poll. which was taken In a New Jersey establishment where about 30 per cent, of the voters polled were wo- men. The vote stood for enforcement 162, for modification 720, for repeal 750. Combined with two other factory polls, one of which showed 6 tv 1 and the other 20 to 1 against bone dryness, thé workers’ poll shows approximately 10 to 1 in faver of a modification of the present antl-liquor laws, Nothing as yet has been published on the returns from the 2,000,000 women's votes, the effect of which cafhnot be pre- dicted upon the general resunt, but as the returns now stand they would seém to indicate that a considerable propor- tion of the people does not consider that the Volstead act expresses their opinion upon anti-liquor legislation, much as X may be opposed to the saloon and that it has stood for, THE “TROOP MENACE.” Because of lawless acts against rail- road property and fears that more are likely to follow state troops and armed guards are guarding raflroad property at various points for the purpose of pre- venting damage by striking shopmen or their sympathiers. Attempts to wreck trains have already been made and that it should have become neces- sary to guard rallroad property was no more than was to be expected from the experience of other railroad strikes. Qther railway men's organizations not yet formally involved in the strike are making much of what they call the “troop menace,” but have not yet offered very convincing proof that it actually exists. They charge that the armed pro- tectors are imsulting and even firing upon the members of their brotherhoods, but they offer to the public no specific instances of these alleged outrages ex- cept in the case of one brotherhood member who, they say, was shot at by a guard at a small town in Nebraska. If the armed guards are not withdrawn, they threaten that they will have to take what will amount to strike action and this threat has already been put into ef- fect on some western roads. It this movement expands into a gen- eral strike the brotherhood chiefs will have to justify themselves by offering more proof of the “menace” than they bave hitherto offered. Up to the present they have talked only in vague and gen- eral gterms. They are creating every- whe) the impresaion that what they are launching is a systematic strike design- &d to réscue the shopmen who have lost out on thé wage issue dnd are now en- deavoring to save their faces by forcing the acceptance of the seniority claim upen the reluctant railroad executives. THe Ametican peeple will not be toler- ant of a sympathétic strike which would cut off their food supplies and cripple their industries, GOOD CROP OUTLOOK. Increases in the production of nearly all the basic American crops are pre- dicted by the forecast of the department ot agriculture, just issued. The prelim- inary winter wheat estimate shows 2a slight réduction from the July forecast and is léss than the five-year average, but spring wheat indications are for an increase not only over last year but over the average of five years. The to- tal wheat crop promises to be 805,000,- 000 bushels, compared with an estimate of 795,000,000 bushels for 1921 and 799,- 000,000 bushels for the five-year ave- ragé. The average for the corn crop is 2,831,000,000 bushels but indications this year are for a crop of 3,011,000,000 bushals. The oats yleld, estimated at 1,261,000,000 bushels, is less than the July forécast and somewhat under the average but considerably larger than last year. Barley, white potatoes, sweet pota- toes, tobacco, flax, rice, both tame and wild hay, apples and peaches promise much larger crops than last year. A shortage, compared with last year—al- though trivial in most instances—ts in- dicated for rye, buckwheat, sugar beets and peanuts. This year's crop is esti- mated to be 202,000,000 bushels, com- pared with 98,100,000 bushels last year. The production of peaches last year amounted to 32,700,000 bushels, while this year's estimate is for 56,000,000 ‘bushels. Crop conditions on August 1 ran from 75.6 per cent. for oats, up to 90.8 per cent, for hay. Wheat is figured at 80.5 per cent. and corn at 85.6 per cent. With nearly all crops promising well, both the farmer and nature are on the job. If industry in all its lines could reconcile its troubles, the outlook for prosperous times would be most encouraging. STOP, LOOK, LISTEN. Grade crossing accidsnts in which au- tomobiles were concerned have recent- 1y brcupht this subject into unusial prominence, one of the results in this state being that the public utilities commission has exercised iis powers to Toint out the most haza:dnis cross that shouid b~ eliminatei. Last year thera were 1702 parsons killed and 4818 infured at railwav grade crossings in the United States. As there are more tnan a quacor of a mil- hon grade crossings and more ths million licensed automoh ie not mention the horse-drawn vehicles, obvidus that the elimination of thess crossings at grade is going to be a grad- ual process.

FRESH ICED TEA Fréshly brewed ice téa h n peer as a refreshing drink on a hot day. But do you know how to make good iced tea ? Iced tea must be brewed as carefully as coffee. Anyone can make coffee or colored liquid of nondescript flavor that serves as such. but the makérs of good coffee are far fewer. Their methods and their measurements aré not slipshod. Too strong tea, allowed to cool and weakened with cold water, tastes no nbore like properly brewed ice tea than warmed over coffee tastes like fresh beverage seérved steaming hot at _breakfast. B Plain green tea does not make the best iced tea. A blend of green and black tea makes thé most accepta- ble drink. To make icéd tea, take a spoonful of tea to one cup of boil- ing water. Put tea in a tea ball Heat the teapot thoroughly with boil- ing water. Pour out this water, hang the tea ball in the pot and pour over JEWELRY STILL WORN Jewelry still is extensively worn, both during the day and with eve- ning attire. Jeweled bracelets in col- or and in black and white effects are very fashionable, and are worn, six or more at a time. Wide, jeweled bangles, half to three- quarters inch in width, again are in vogue and heavy, carved gold ban- gles, copies of the empire and the ancient Roman period, are shown. Earrings in long pendant effects, of jewels, jet and cut steel, are fash- jonable, says Dry Goods Economist. Those in cut steel are frequently worn with steel beaded leather belts and purses to match, the required amount of freshly boil- ed water. Let stand fivé minutes to steep. Have the glasses filled with crack- ed ice. Pour hot tea directly over the ice. Tea made this way is clear and fragrant as hot tea. Standing to cool causes the tea to become cloudy and it loses the sweet fragrance of the freshly made tea. WORN AT THE BEACHES Knitted wool one-piece bathing suits, cut more than ever like those of the men, and as short as possi- ble, are seen in great numbers. Wide rubber hats are seen almost as frequently as caps. Caps and hats in vivid colorings are trimmed with rubber flowers.

RECIPES Spanish Salad Dressing—Mix to- gether in a bowl one teaspoonful of sugar, half a teaspoonful of salt, half a teaspoonful of mustard, one tablespoonful of lemon juice, one ta- blespoonful of cold water, teaspoon- ful of Worcestershire sauce, one tea- spoonful of tomato catsup and five tablespoonfuls of salad oil.

We see tiny frills between the narrow tucks on a tailored vestee or waistcoat, and a number of the summer suits of silk have these star- chy white edgings peeping out from their pockets. Women have learned one delightful thing about the use of frills—when placed inside a loose sleeve in man y tiers by way of fac- ing they tend to make the hands look white and small.

RETURN OF SNUFFBOX Cigarette and pipe smoking does not seem the limit of feminine uses for tobacco, as the London Express| discovers that snuff-taking is a wide- | spread secret habit among English women of the better class. One snuff manufacturer has given some amazing information, declaring “Women consume 65 per cent, of the snuff now sold. “For the most part women take snuff secretly. They will not admit the habit even to their dearest friends.

Robinson, who has de- clined an offer of a British peerage out of consideration of his ideals of publie service, has long been one of the out- standing figures in South Afriea. ‘The influential position which he holds in that eountry is not surprising in view of the big gold mines in South Africa, and of 20,000 acres of diamond lands on the Vaal river. Sir Joseph is eighty two years old and a native of South Afr ca. He began his career as a farmer and woolbuyer. The great change in his fortunes came in 1867, when diamonds were found on the lands he has purchas- ed along the Vaal river. Within a short time the tiller of the soil was transfo~m- ed into a “dlamond king.” Hé fought fir him native land in thé Basuto war and has filled the mayoralty of Kimbeér- Iy and various other publiz offices.

Jack was ealled upon and sald: “It means a mule; it says so jn the book.” The teachéer ask- ed for the book and it was brought for- ward. At last Jack came to a pieture of a soldier sitting on a mule. At the bottom of the picture was: “Going home on his furlough.” She Drove Home. The customary silence was belng ob- served while a comely young woman was putting on one of the hilltop greens at the golf course. Down the hill, out of sight, was an oncoming foursome, at least one of which was a green play- er. He shot without wajting for the girl to putt. His ball trickled up and on the green, rolling just in front of the young lady's lie. No one moved No one said a word. The girl looked up and around. walked over to the edge of the hill and in a harassing tone that could be heard for mliles around shouted at thé unsuspecting duf- fer: with the poem “To a Skeleton.” the first four lines of which are quoted above, and the manuscript of which was found near a skeleton in the London Reyal Collége of Sufgeons in the early part of the past ceatury. The author has never been found, though » veward of fifty guineas was offered for his dis- covery. It seems remarkable in view of at least of the great amount of pub- licity given to the verse at the time of their finding ana ever since, that no one came forth to claim their au- thorship, nor after the most careful search has it been possible to find who expressed these beautiful thoughts on the discarded paper. There must be some mystery concealed behind them, for otherwise it would ap- pear unnatural that the author disown his much admired effort. The efforts to find him have been most diligently pros- ecuted by literary men of both contin- ents, and in one instance, among the many, an Américan was named as hav- ing written the poem. The first copy of the poem “To a Skeleton” is said to have appeared in the London “Morning Chronicle” and igned, but when it was printed in the Buropean Magazine of November, 1818, it bore the initial “V.” This was the sig- nature of M Anne Jane Vardill, and while this young woman frequently con- tributed to this magazine, she made a cawlete denial of having written “To a Skeleton.” The story of the finding of the poem is an interesting one.

MODISH BELTS A recent display of belts, mostly imported. includes a narrow suede model showing steel ornaments at intervals. Persian ribbon of a narrow type in a brocade effect has a num- ber of silver slides and forms an at- tractive girdle. Another belt of -this ribbon, which is somewhat wider, ended in a branded silk cord of many colors. Particularly unusual is a gray suede braided rope girdle which is finished with a fringed suede tassel. As it would be bulky to tie, a little round strap of the suede acts as a fastener. Very much in vogue in Paris is a simple tailored metal belt of stiff chain mesh in an old gold effect. An odd belt is developed from a triple: strand of bright green suede, woven in and out of uare celluloid bue- kles, placed very close together. A larger white buckle of the same type finishes it.

BIRTH AND DEATH FORBIDDEN In the Inland Sea of Japan is an island with 3,000 inhabitants of both | sexes; but on that island births and deaths practically never happen. For ages this island, known as Miyajima, has been given over to religious cere- monies and most of its inhabitants are priests, image carvers, and fish- ajima is, in the eyes of the Japanese, one of the three sights of the country. Some of it is cultivated, but most consists of wooded heights and rocky valleys with streams of crystal water. Wild animals abound, including largé herds of deer, and are never touched by the people. Birds and all kinds of creatures beecome so BOOKS ° i gt SHEA’S NEWS BUREAU UNION SQUARE Singing “Tit Willow,” or words te that effect, a little cock sparrow in St. James’ Park, London, was reeent- impelled to explore the organization of a pelican, to a story vouched for by Captain L. §. Challis in the pages of the London Daily Mail. While the pelicans were taking their luncheon near the lake in the park a sparrow, who had been enjoying the crumbs falling from their table, was accidentally swallowed by one of the big birds. The pelican, whose surprise with the sparrow's was on the horns of a dilemma.
