Paris, Dee. 21!. Exchange of ratifi
cations of the (icrman peace treaty be
fore the end of the year is considered
in French oflicial circles as impossible.
This opinion was formed to-day when
the head of the (ierman delegation here
said that it would be obliged to re
turn to Berlin to consult with the gov
ernment on the latest allied comtuuni
cation. Paul Dutasta, secretary of the peace
conference, handed Kurt Von Lersner,
head of the Herman delegation, the
allied reply to the German note of Dec.
15, this morning. Herr Von Lersupr
told M. Duttts-ta jthat owing to ditli
culties of communication and the im
portance of the document, he fell obli
gated to consult Berlin. He will leave
for the C.ennui capital with all his ex
perts to-night.
Herr Von Lersner expressed a de
sire to lay emphasis on the fact that
his leaving Paris at this time was in
no wise a rupture of negotiations.
Secretary Dutasta, in accordance
with instructions from the supreme
! council, accompanied the allied no.te
with a verbal communication, in which
it is understood he assured Von Lers
ner that the allies recognized the eco
nomic difficulties which might exist in
Germany and wished to take them into
account.
If proof were given that errors had
been made in the estimate of "floating
material now in the possession of Ger
many, upon which the allies based their
demands for reparation for the sinking
of the German ships at Sea pa Flow,
these demands M. Dutasta is under
stood to have told the 'German pleni
potentiary, would be reduced propor
tionately. Herr Von Lersner expressed no opin
ion on the document presented by .Sec
retary Dutasta.

Secret Is to Get Others to Work Out
Your Ideas, Etc.
London, Dec. 23. Most healthy men
and women are potential earners of
10,000 a year, according to C. F. Hic
ham, member of Parliament. Mr.. Hig
hain recently told member? of the elli
ciency club how to earn this big in
come. "Ten thousand a year men never
write asking for a position," he de
clared. '"The secret of how to obtain
large incomes is to get others to work
out your ideas, to have the courage of
your convictions, to be able to say 'yes'
or 'no' on the Instant and to mtick to
your decision. Men who can make up
their own minds and make tip other
people's minds are so few that only
these few get .C 10,000 a year or more
in business."
Most men and women, he said, wait
for opportunity to knock at the door
and when it does they are usually too
tired to get up. Opportunities are
made. They rarely seek one out. If
people want to earn 10,000 they make
up their minds to get it and let nothing
stand in their way. If it is worth hav
ing it is worth fighting for.
Few 10,000 a year men are really
happy men, said the speaker. They
have that terrible discontent that is
never satisfied. The man who thinks
he can earn 10,000 a year should de
cide whether he really wants it. He
will not get it if he does not make up
his mind, and one day, when he gets it,
he will probably regret it. A man
should never envy the successful, but
emulate them. He should show to his
employers an infinite capacity for tak
ing pains and be ready for any question
or emergency.
"He careful of your personal appear
ance," he proceeded, "look prosperous,
act prosperous, lie an optimist. Pes
simists never get far. He kind; that is
a great virtue. Be courteous. It is the
cheapest thing in the world and being
so easy to do most people don't do it.
Never break your word.
".Sack yourself from the job that does
not make you happy to perform it.
No man ever got on if he bemoaned
the fate that placed him in 'that busi
ness.' You must take chances if you
want big prizes. Have faith in your
self or no one else will. The world
judges you by what you can and do
do not by what you say you can do. .
"The greatest business task in the
world," he concluded, "is the organiza
tion and development of the iiritish
empire. Its managing director, David
Llovd George, considering his great ca
pacity, energy, viBjon and decision, is
t.ie poorest paid managing director in
the world. He needs a dozen 10,000
a yenr men to help him. Hut the state
also limits his authority for paying for
brains to a few thousand a year. His
minister of labor, one of the most com
petent men in the kingdom, gets a pal
try 2.000 a year a first-class man
on a third-class income. The state
must learn to pay its public servants
better.
"Directors t( great corporations need
a new point of view also. Throughout
the country directors getting fees of
."i00 a year spend many wasted hours
seeing how they can avoid paying a
man 10,000 a year to run the business
while they waste 10,0IH) a month for
the shareholders while they debate the
point. Directors of limited liability
companies have still much to learn.
And so has labor as a whole.
"No man who works eight hour! a
day for a minimum wage will ever
earn 10,000 a year. The labor lead
ers are working day and night trying
to get shorter hours for those who la
bor. And they are poorly paid for their
work also. .1. H. Thomas, president of
the National I'tiiou of Railway Men,
also is worth 10,000 a vear'
