Though apparently fully lr.f orinpil of the at:fui ef tha allies toward tha ir.an reparations proposal, th Hardlriinimlnlstratlon todny (far no evidence that It considered the task of tredlatlon undertaken by Secretary I'uehei a hopeless one. Being: of the opinion that the main ro;nt lnvolred 1 whether th B'rliii rfrer forms a proper hauls sor nesrit'atlon rather than whether It Is "acc'ptabte," this sroverntnent takes the that the door to mediation ha? by no means tieen dflnl'.e!y closed by The decision of France and Groat Britain as to acceptability. This "K!t U understood to hav been cen-reyed by Secretary Hughes to h representatives of the allied gov- ' rnments In unmistakable, if inforrr.a; 'rir.i. In conversations with thTii lesterdajr afternoon. The onfrences f re tipected to continue today. Ohserren who anticipated theFrench fc-OTernrnent's relctton cf thGerman proposals but who nevertheiss believed PecTetary Hughes had "a ; rump card up his sleeve" see a key to the situation In the latest elucidation cf the Amerioan position. They point out the Hardir.r administration has clearly indicated its viewthat "eery man. woman and chjl.l" in the United States has a vital Interest In the settlement of the reparations controversy. Secretary Hashes, feelr, g that the woria could n"t get back to normal until a satisfactory solution f that problem Is found,' agreed t - insider bring'gr any German proposal to the attention of the allies in a manner acceptable to them. The proposal tvas made, and whethr "broutfht to the attention (f thallies" by :r. Hug-hes or nut, in th'.frrsn Intended in h'. memorandum, the terms proved unacceptable to at least three of them. For Mr. Hughes to abandon his efforts merely because the first German proposal dir! not m- with the f-nflre approval r.f ,-il'ies. it In arg-ued, -would le to surrender i-M.re the battle wr? u-eil b"i?un. and the I.'r.itM Ftate would kvts from (':) encounter with a c.nsiUcru biy lessened prestige.

"As Is always the case, there were no secret sessions, and all of our business was conducted in the open. In fact, at this convention, a member of tie Indiana Public Service Commission was present by invitation at every c-ssion. and displayed a keen interest in the proceedings.

"In recognition of this fact already twelve states in this country besides many cities have adopted heatlnp; valuo standards much lower than the present Indiana standard of 570 British thermal units. In Canada the standard is iZO B. T. U. All of these changes have meant or wli; mean an ultimate reduction In the cost for gas service to the community and I know of no way In which the cost of gss service to the people of Indiana can bo permanently reduced than by the adoption of a heating value standard which will permit of a l-.wer cost to the companies for production and which, at the same time, will increase the efficiency In the use of the gas by the consumer.''

MAYOR ISSUES ! APPEALi

Hundsetf Percent Candidate Teils Of His Brilliant Record In Office. Mayor 11m Brown has answered the ! charges of his opponent in a message to the peep! which is being distributed on doorsteps throughout the city. The mayor declares in a signed statement that the "hue and cry" about th utility rates was set up merely to deceive the voters. The city has been represented at all hearings before, the, puhlic service commission he sta'es. "The utilities, board does not render its decision upon whit the franchise demands nor whit tin- pi-ople nish or cry for." snys the mayor. "Their decision Is Imsed on facts and figures presented at the hearing and investigated by the. state's ow'n accountants, and no representative- cf any of the cities In this district was ahlo to move) the utilities board to make a different decision. The blamn of Increased rates cannot be ! truthful! y charged to the officials of i at of the cities cf tho Calumet dis trict." Although the mayor does not make : mention of the fact that City Attorney McMiihon Is preparing to file suit for a ' rehearing at which he will protest arainst the increased rates of the t'.-Ie-j phone company which went Into effect a j month airo and o-ut of which Charles i Frledrifi. the mayor's opponent, is maki ing political tltr.her. j In a paragraph headed "Blue laws" Mayor Brown has the following explanation to mfike: "I have) sought to have Hammond an orderly and well regulated city tut the "blue law" rule has never oven had consideration by me. However, the people ..f Hammond can rest assured that there will be no wide opon city. A respect for the law, and protection of the good name of the community and the rights of Its citizens will be m- constant aim, as it Toms been In the iat." The major strikes from the ahoislder in tho matter of tha sale of government food. He makes no apology for selling povernmeint food and cays that lie took advantage of the opportunity ta brext tho high prices. "It now appears," 6tates the mayor, "that a number of the) grocery-men are Incensed on account of this action on impart and are retaliating by fighting my re-nonilnation for mayor. But I will leave it to tha judgment of the people whether I did right or wrong." Other lt ms in the message follow: WHAT Tim ADMINISTRATION HAS DONE In spite of the war conditions in spite of impossible prices. In suite of an Inheritance from the Dnwcnt of a floating debt of approximately $42,dOn consisting of short time notes and unpaid bills, with a balance in the general fund of only $"33.14 with which to pay same and to pay oreratinr expenses 1 ..f the city I point with prido to the. j th'ns accomplished in the past trying i four years.
