NEW YORK. Oct. 11.—-An on‘ tlrely new reparations proposal by Germany will have to ho made. greatly increasing the tentative (lei-mun figures oi‘ $7,500,000.00‘) lm‘ fore there can be any fundamental (rliunge in Franco-German relations. if the Germans do not make a new proposal. there is every reason t0 hc-lievo ‘the French grip will _con- tinm- until Germany falls to pieces and becomes ilio Balkans oi Coti- trul Europe.

There is niiich private iliscussioii among. (lermuns concerning the real amount of indemnity thccoun- try can pay. it is certain that many Germans have placed the sum of 810.000.000.000 and in some cases higher. Butthe past German izov- ornnients, since the ending of the war. have refused to put forth their best offentrus ing to allied ilisseu- sinus to save em.

New that France has won her victory in ‘the Ruhr and Premier Baldwin of Great Britain has failed to follow up his threats againsttho French, Germany cannot hope to benefit by waiting for something to turn up. For this reason. if the Berlin authorities are guided by common sense. a fresh German move to take up the reparations matter anew will bo made.

The Germans, naturally enough. considering their situation. have not shown any sincerity over the indemnity question. The time has now come, however, when lack of sincerity has proven to be a disus- trous policy. It was deliberately adopted as a gamblei-‘s devlce—the frequent method of diplomacy.

U. S. Geologist Claims That Gradual Change Will be of. Economic Importance to Ex- treme Regions

(Canadian Press)

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Oct. 11. —l)r. Charles D. Walcott, of the Smithsonian Institution, one of the IJCHE known American geolog- ists, has returned from a Summer in the Canadian Rockies with the flrin conviction that the far north is growing warmer by a gradual but slow process.

The process, Dr. Walcolt titlniits, is very slow, and to any but the trained geological explorer may appear imperceptible. it is never- theless, such a gradual change as eventually may prove of grout ec- onomic importance -to Alaska and the Klondike.

The Smithsonian expert, who

was assisted in his explorations by Mrs. Walcott, finds that the glaci- ers are retreating northward. For the last seven years Mrs. Walcott has taken exact measurements of the great Selkirk Glacier on the Canadian Pacific Railroad. In that period it has gone back 1.070 feet and it is new n mere skeleton of what. it. was when first discovered in 1898. As the years grow warmer the snowfall decreases, Dr. Walcott re- ports. This resulls in less press- ure on the ice. The retreat of the glaciers becomes more rapid from year to year but it is still, u matter of a few feet each year. The warming process it is estim- ated, has been going on the last twenty years.
