GERMAN DEBT REPUDIATION IS GRAVE DANGER Reparations Default Would Permit Reoccupation of Rhineland by Allies, BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Srrinps-Hnward Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Jan. 15. The tJnited States and Europe are confronted with four grave possibilities as a result of Germany’s threatened repudiation of the Young plan and approaching default on reparations. 1. France may invoke her World war bible—the treaty of Versailles —and reoccupy the Rhineland. 2. France, with a greater gold reserve than all the rest of Europe combined, may mobilize her francs, instead of her army, to combat the German stand. She may set up a sort of financial blockade. 3. France and Great Britain may Induce the United States to join m an extension of the moratorium on inter-governmental payments, during which there would be time to examine the whole reparations end war debts problem—with a view to ultimate revision or cancellation.

Intervention Foreseen 4. Germany may go Fascist, take the bit in her teeth, repudiate reparations point-blank, and so force France either to intervene or accept terms virtually dictated from Berlin. Germany's reparations liabilities, averaging $473,700,000 a year for fifty-eight years, now are governed by the Young plan. They are based, however, upon the treaty of Versailles which charges her with full responsibility for the war and “all the loss and damage” sustained therein. Article 428 gives the allies the right to occupy the west bank of the Rhine, and its bridgeheads at Cologne, Coblenz, Mainz and Kehl, for a period ol fifteen years dating from 1920. Article 429 divides the territory Into three zones and specifies that if Germany lives up to the treaty, zone No. 1 would be liberated in 1925, zone No. 2 in 1930 and zone No. 3 in 1935.

Re-Occupation a Possibility Upon the insistence of President Wilson and Lloyd George, Article 431 was inserted stating that if Germany complied with requirements ahead of time, the Rhineland would be liberated in advance of these dates. It is Article 430, however, which contains the dynamite. It says: “In case either during the occupation of after expiration of the fifteen years above referred to, the reparations commission finds that Germany refuses to observe the whole or part of her obligations . . . with respect to reparations, the whole or part of the areas specified in Article 429 will be reoccupied immediately .. It is significant to recall that as long as Germany continued to demand revision of the Dawes plan, Prance refused to evacuate the Rhineland. But as soon as Germany ratified the Young plan—which Foreign Minister Briand cailed ‘the final liquidation of the war”—French troops marched out, five years ahead of schedule.

WIFE DOES STRANGE THINGS ON PIANO — l Ethel Bartlett Does the 'Creeping and Crawling’ While Her Husband, Rae Robertson, Does the Bubbling. by WALTER D. HICKMAN EVER hear of & wife doing the “creeping and crawling” on a piano while her husband did the “bubbling?” I never did before until I heard Ethel Bartlett and Rae Robertson play Arnold Bax’s "The Poisoned Fountain,” which is dedicated by the composer to Robertson and his wife. Last night Robertson and his wife at two pianos gave a joint recital with the London String Quartet at English’s as one of the attractions of Mrs. Nancy Martens. , Robertson, before he played “The Poisoned Fountain” for two pianos, explained the story. He said that the theme concerned an old fountain

in an ancient castle, the water had been poisoned and only snakes and other creeping things existed near the fountain. ‘•I will do the bubbling,” said Robertson, “and my wife will do the creeping and crawiing.” Many interesting tones and combinations resulted when the two pianos got underway. This number was an interesting novelty. Here was gigantic playing on the part of these two at the piano. Especially pleasing was the “Scherzo” from Mendelssohn’s ’Midsummer Night’s Dream.” This and Chopin’s “Rondo” resulted in such a wonderful demonstration of appreciation on part of the audience that they had to give three encores. Robertson’s mastery of the piano was even more pronounced when he played with the London String Quartet the “Quintet for Piano and Strings in F Minor,” by Cesar Franck. I am going to say that the London String Quartet in this quintet excelled any string quartet I have ever heard and I am not forgetting those, the many, I have heard in the past. The quartet has a wonderful skilled and sensitive first violin
