JANGLE STARTS AT CALVES OYER INDEMNITIES ’ ' rlum Disputes With France Relative to Priority Rights. PAYMENT CONDITIONS By FRANK E. MASON. CANNES, France, Jan. s.—When the Jhliiel experts met today to work out details of the agenda for the supreme council meeting beginning Friday, it became apparent that Belgian priority In the matter of distributing German indemnity was going to be one of the stumbling blocks threatening the success of the conference. It is understood the British will request Belgium to renounce her priority rights to a share of the first two billion gold marks paid by Germany. In compensation the Belgians would receive a promise that Britain and probably America would not press for payment of loans to Belgium which had been guaranteed by Belgium's priority indemnity rights. Your correspondent is able to give the outline of a tentative program arranged at London covering the distribution of German reparations. It was planned to use this program as a basis for discussion, changing it from time to time as the necessity arose. Under its terms France would secure her long wished for abrogation of the Aug. 13 agreement, which divided Germany's first one billion gold marks (already paid) between Britain and Belgium to cover the costs of the British and Belgian armies of occupation. Under the August agreement It was held that France's Income from the Saar Basin with its rich coal mines would cover the cost of her army of occupation.

THE LONDON , EROPOSAL. The proposal was made at London to rearrange the terms of distribution of Germany’s first billion, the allies agreeing that the income from the Saar Basin not be counted toward defraying the cost of French military occupation. It was expected that in view of this concession, France would consent to delay further German payments. It was suggested that Germany pay 600,000,000 gold marks in four monthly installments—January, February, March and April 15. Then Germany would te given a respite until 1923. Added to the original billion paid by Germany, the t0ta1—1,500,000.000 gold marks —would be divided as follows: England, 500,000.000; France, 300.000,000; Italy, 30,000,000; Belgium, 670,000,000. One condition would be that France get her cash immediately. The French senate and chamber of deputies have been heckling Premier Briand, insisting that Germany be made to pay in full and that France get her share of the indemnity gold at once. Premier Lloyd George is said to be insisting that the submarine disarmament question and reparations are closely linked. France is countering with the demand that, under the principle of the Versailles treaty, England should enter a close defense alliance with France. QUESTION OYER ........ NEAR EAST. Despite M. Briand’s insistence upon closer relations between France and England it is certain that some friction will develop when the Near East Is taken up and the British foreign minister, Marquis Curzon, begins seeking light upon the French treaty with the Turkish nationalists. The British and French premiers had hoped to work out the agenda for the supreme council but found themselves running npon obstacles which made it impossible. Consequently the task was turned over to the experts. Lloyd George holds that it is necessary to discuss the general European economic crisis if the reparations problem is to be solved. The British premier is expected to make a long exhaustive speech at the opening of the supreme council meeting outlining a world economic program. It is believed Lloyd George hopes to rival the effectiveness and prestige of Secretary Hughes' great naval reduction speech at the opening of the Washington conference. The British and French premiers already have discussed the proposal international economic conference with Russia and Germany participating and experts will begin immediately arranging the program for it. POSITION OF PREMIER BRIAND. Premier Briand is going to concentrate his efforts upon the consummation of an Anglo-French alliance, hoping to succeed where Clemenceau failed. If Briand is able to bring about the treaty he will be in a position to crush the opposition of Clemenceau’s followers in the chamber of deputies. It i learned from a reliable source that France does not expect any support from George Harvey, the American observer, during the supreme council meeting. The French believe the Americans were angered by France's submarine demands in the Washington connferece and will throw their weight with Egland in any Issues ivolvinii the interests of any of the three power*.

Find Remains of Prehistoric Whale LOS ANGELES, Jan. s.—The petrified remains of a whale believed to have lived between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 years ago, have been discovered near the summit of a lofty hill known as San Pedro Hill, located near Los Angeles harbor. A squad of men, under the direction of L. E. Wyman, zoologist, representing the Museum of History and Arts of this city, is engaged in breaking the petrified bones of the huge mammal from the solid rock in which it became embedded during ages after its death. Nearly fifty feet in length, the remains were found nearly 1,200 feet above sea ' level, and represent the earliest, by many centuries, of any animals whose remains have been found in the United States.

No person whose nerves are continually irritated, whose appetite and digestion are disturbed, or who doesn’t sleep well has more than half his normal ch&nce for success in life. For weakness, debility, anemia and general lack of tone are a serious handicap to anybody. Those who drink tea or coffee ■re often sufferers from these conditions. Tea and coffee contain caffeine, a substance which has a decided stimulant action on the nerves. Each cup of strong coffee contains about as large a dose of caffeine as your doctor would ordinarily give to a very sick person. You can readily see that the effect of giving this stimulant regularly to a well person might finally have a tendency to make hum sick.
