Germany yesterday was called upon by the allied reparation commission to carry out Article 235 of the Versailles treaty, which stipulates Germany must pay before May 1, 1921, the equivalent of twenty billion gold marks. The treaty provides that this payment may be made in gold, commodities, ships, securities or other valuables, and that out of this sum the expenses of the army of occupation are first to be met. The commission also took steps to carry out Article 233 of the treaty, which provides that Germany shall be notified before May 1 next, the total amount of war damage imposed upon her by the treaty. Threaten Force. "If Germany persists in refusing to make payment," says the Petit Parisien, in discussing the action of the commission, "she will force us to impose upon her the integral execution of the treaty. That was the significance of yesterday's meeting." In discussing the protest to the league of nations by Germany against the penalties being enforcd by th allis on Germany because of her refusal to carry out her reparation obligations, the Petit Parisien remarks that the: Germans are "losing time and trouble." "The supreme council," it continues, "has decided upon advice of French and English experts that the penalties will be applied not only because of Germany's evasion of reparations payment or her refusal to carry out the terms of the Paris agreement, but because of all evasions of the obligations which the treaty imposes upon her. Germany is not qualified to demand arbitration from the league, as she is not a member of it." DUESSELDORF. March 15.

EXPORT ORDER LOSS RUNS INTO MILLIONS, SAYS TRADE REPORT .. .. t NEW YORK, March 15. Weekly losses of export orders running into millions of dollars were indicated In a report issued at the offices of the Foreign Trade Financing corporation, which is now being organized under the Edge act to promote the country's foreign trade by granting long-term credits which are needed for financing i puichases of American goods abroad. Information i assembled by the organization committee indicates a situation which is without parallel in the memory of leading New York business men. There are in New York today a greater number of purchasing agents for buyers abroad than at any time since the close of the war. Cotton Waiting to Move.. Several million bales of cotton are stored at various points in the South, held up by lack of adequate credit machinery to finance their sale to buyers abroad. Surplus supplies of grain to the extent of several hundred millions of bushels above this country's normal need are stored at primary points throughout the middle West, held up for similar reasons. In absence of adequate credit facilities, due to the fact that commercial banks have extended their lending resources to the limit of prudence, certain large corporations are preparing to finance their own business. Face Loss. In one middle Western state, manufacturers are facing a loss of $20,000.000 in current export orders from south-eastern Europe alone. A canvass of banks in the financial district, made to shed light on the possibilities of immediate business abroad revealed that there is strong demand for credits running from six months to a year by responsible business interests in Japan, Germany, Denmark, Finland, the Balkans, South Africa, Italy, Australasia and the republics of South America. Bank officials were unanimous in commenting upon the sound character of this business, but could see no way of extending the desired credit under existing facilities. ZOELLNER QUARTET ' ENTERTAINS TONIGHT The Zoellner string quartet is expected to draw large crowds of townsfolk to Earlham college Tuesday evening when it appears tliere in a concert of chamber music. The accomplished musicians who comprise the quartet have not only gained an international reputation with their string ensemble, but are accorded one of the finest present day quartets. An interesting fact about the Zoellners and what is a surprise to many is their diversity of talents. Antoinette Zoellner, the first violinist, is an accomplished singer; Joseph, Jr., who plays the cello, a pianist, being a prize pupil of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels; and Joseph Zoellner, Sr., the father, a literati and expert angler, while Amandus Zoellner is an artist with the brush. Professional musicians place a high value on their hands, as indicated by the amount of insurance they carry against accident. Miss Antionette Zoellner, the violinist of the Zoellner quartet, which appears here at Earlham, March 15, carries a policy of $10,000 on each of her hands. Her brother, Amandus. who also plays the violin, carries a similar amount, as do the other members of the quartet. This is a comparatively small sum, considering their earning capacity. WAYNE STUDENTS IN LATIN CONTESTS Mildred Ratliff and Martha Righter. of the high school Latin department, will be the senior and junior representatives, respectively, of Richmond high school in the Sixth district Latin contest to be held in the local school Friday.

MURDER CONSPIRACY TO BE FOUND, BELIEF WARSAW, Ind., March 16 Bit by bit, evidence is being collected by officials of Kos.ciusko and Marshall counties, which tends toward a conspiracy unusual in crime annals in Indiana. One fact, proved beyond doubt, i3 that Leroy Lovett, 20 years old. son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Lovett, of Elkhart, and not Virgil Decker, age 18, was the youth fatally injured and who was found along the Pennsylvania railroad tracks Saturday evening 30 feet from a crossing near Atwood, in Kosciusko county. He died the following morning at Bourbon, a few miles west of Atwood, in Marshall county, without regaining consciousness. This development was known to investigating authorities yesterday, as soon as Samuel Lovett came from Elkhart and saw the body, but officials endeavored to continue the general belief that the body of Virgil Decker lay at Bourbon, in order, if possible, to strengthen the confidence of persons believed by them to be directly or indirectly responsible for the death of Leroy Lovett. The body previously had been identified by Fred Decker, his brother; his mother and his sister, as that of Virgil Decker. DIRECT CABLE TO U. S. BOUGHT BY ENGLAND LONDON, March 15 Purchase of a direct cable to the United States was announced by H. Pike Pease, assistant postmaster general, in the house of commons last night during an explanation of postoffice estimates in the pending budget bill.

The cable that has been bought is intended as a reserve for the existing imperial cable, and has been leased for a short time to the Western Union company for 57,000 per year. Mr. Pease remarked that a new cable would have cost 1,000.000 and that therefore he considered the deal as most profitable.

WOMAN'S CLUB HEARS FRENCH ART PAPERS AND LANTERN LECTURE

Papers on French art by Miss Mary A. Stubbs and Mrs. Ida Carpenter and a lecture illustrated with lantern slides by Mrs. M. F. Johnston constituted the program given before the art department of the Woman's club when it met in the Public Art gallery - Tuesday morning. The influence exercized by the French revolution and the empire on art was discussed in a comprehensive manner by Miss Mary A. Stubbs. Enumerating the steps taken forward in establishing the foundations of art as an institution in French life during the chaotic times of the revolution and Napoleon's dashing reign, Miss Stubbs showed how, through influences exerted in those times artists had acquired liberty, the Louvre had been founded and public galleries and museums were created throughout France. Napoleon's policy of forcing conquered countries to give up their art treasures to France for the Louvre and secondary museums was a step forward from the barbarous custom of destroying art works that were captured, the speaker pointed out. Although the most famous pictures and statues were reclaimed by their native countries, many of the secondary works may still be seen in the smaller museums in France, she said. Reviews Characteristics. The three foreign painters, Rubens, Constable, and Turner, who influenced the Romanticists were discussed by Mrs. Ida Carpenter and the outstanding characteristics of their painting reviewed. Rubens work was a departure from anything done before him in the brilliance of color he employed and the rounding and life like quality given his figures instead of the flatness shown in work before his time. His pictures had volume. Constable, who exerted the greatest influence later on the English painters and masters of Barbizon, put whatever he wanted to in the picture and created an atmosphere and feeling in his w orks. Turner, a creator of color and boldest of painters in his day, departed from the "brown sauce" effects of his predecessors .and contemporaries and filled his picture with lively color, light, air. producing as a whole pictures which were imiffinative poems. Contrasts in classicism and romanticism were brought out by Mrs. Johnston in her illustrated lecture. Pictures representing both schools were shown and the points of difference pointed out in treatment, subect, color, and purpose. Romev Cooking School Opens Five Day Session The first day of the Romey cooking school opened auspiciously Tuesday, with a, very satisfactory gathering of housewives present to hear the lectures by the special demonstrator who had been brought here for the occassion. - Th. cooking school, which is being conducted in the Romey building, will continue for five days, ending Saturday.
