This conclusion is meBcapjNc after
the developments of the loot twenty

No less a person than the Pu-sl-dent
himself has told Congress that
the altuatlon over tho import of dyes
from Germany for the American tex
tile Industry Is so serious that Amer
ican participation in tho deliberations
of tho "Reparations Comm.ssion Is
absolutely essential. Mr. Mnrding
now Tuts tho issue squarely up to
""onirross and says tho responsibility
'np the absence of an American tnem
'ber on the Reparations Commission
lies with Congress.
This is a new tnek for the Incen
tive. Heretofore, tho Initiative In In
ternational co-operation has been with
the President or Secretary of Stat.,
but so jealous has Congress W.ime
over all dialings with Kuropo lli.it

Meeting in City Hall Breaks Up in Disorder
After Women Are Heard in Pro

Mayor Hlan ami Deputy Conip-
tioller Henry riniith wort the prin
cipals In a heavyweight veibal bout
In City Hull to-day over tho question
of whether Frederick MacMonnie.s"s
statue "Civic Vlitue" shall I set
up on the site of the old City Hall
fountain. While at least a hundred
prominent women looked on, each ap
plauding her champion, the Mayor
and the Deputy Comptroller did every
thing but come to blows.
Tho trouble began when, at tho
close of the hearing Mayor Hylan
dramatically held forth a photograph
of Culo Virtue and declared In a loud
voice :
"I don't know much about art, but
I don't like the looks of this follow
in City Hall Park."
"Rut he s going thero." shoute.t
Smith, who, as a former Park Com
m'ssionei', had voted for the statue
"I don't know whether ho Is or
not," shouted back the Mayor, waving
tin. pictuii quite close to Smith's nose.
"I'm sure Civic Virtue will be set
up in City I lull Talk,'' lepeated
Smith. "If I were as sure of Heaven
I il Flop worrying about anything
"Don't you bo too sure aloiit nnv

"I don't think you have," letoittd
Smith.
"The Comptroller doesn't have to
look a the statue from his window,"
Paul Aldoi manic President Hulliert
"No, but ho has to look at tin
ashes dumped by Groer Wh.ilen on
the Court Houso site," snapped
Smith.
The meeting broke up in disorder
and Deputy Comptroller Smith de
clared later that they could "hold

Me. MacMonnloa of the motive behind
the design. Many of the women In
the big nudienci) claimed this descrip

ordinary mortal to understand.
Mrs. ICIla A. lloole, head or the
Women's Christian Temperance I'nion

WASHINGTON, March 22. Identic
notes from the American Government
arc being delivered to tho allied pow
i rs to-day outlining this country's
claim for the payment of $211,000,000
to cover the cost ot the United States
Army of Occupation in Germany.
Rrlefly the attitude ot the United
States, as set forth In the notes, Is:
The claim for repayment of tho
costs of the maintenance of the
American forces In Germany is a
solemn obligation
Recognition and granting ot the
claim is doubly binding on tho Allied
cause since It was at the urgent
solicitation of tho Allies that the.
American troops were kept lu Ger
many. There was a solemn agreement be
tween Hie Allies and Associated
I'oHots that Hie payment ol tho costs
of tin- ainiies of occupation should
