Commission's Hands Tied In Opinion Of The British Member Paris, Oct. 17-Consideration by the, the Reparation documents commission, submitted by. today, Belgians brought out the fact that the British member, Sir John Bradbury, regards commission's hands as tied for the present, or until the wider aspect of the problems are settied by the interested governments. He believes that Chancellor Stresemann's recent declaration gives promise of the necessary German cooperation provided the important question of the total to be paid and the time to be given for payment can Brat be settled by the allies.

It is understood on good authority that Louis Barthou, the French representative and president of the commission agrees with Sir John that the commission can accomplish little until the governments have arrived at a basis of settlement. The documents- were referred to the financial experts for examination and reporta While the commisson was engaged in its deliberation, the German charge d'affaires. Herr Von Hoegch, called on Premise Poincare but the visit which had been announced in advance, and which had aroused great curiosity, failed to produce the promised results. Herr Von Hoesch toid the premier that in the present economic situation of Germany it would be impossible to collect the coal tax in the Ruhr and that in view of the financial crisis there was no possibility of financing reparation deliveries in kind: These declarations are taken in French official circles as merely confirming the Impression already formed which was that the Germans in deciding officially to declare of the passive resistence were simply submitting to imperative circumstances and that they cancelled the ordinance hostile to the occupation not because they wanted to end the resistance campaign but because they could 110 longer support the campagn financially, HAY FEVER MAY RUN RIOT ANYWHERE NEW ORLEANS. Oct.

13. Aviators at Tallulah, where the feddepartment of agriculture is fighting the Cotton pest experimentally by dusting the fields with poison discharged, from: airplanes, have learned why hay fever may run riot almost anywhere. Dr. William Scheppegrell of this city, an authority on the fever, disclosed that the aviators had not been contining their efforts solely to poisoning the They set out to learn just how high ragweed pollen, the hay fever producer, ascended and have brought down specimens from all altitude of 4.0.00 feet and with greater heights yet to be explored. "We have been making the experiments for the last our work is not yet fished." said Dr.

Scheppegrell. "Pollen has been found at high altitudes where the land ascended to an elevation of several thousand feet, but until the experiment we were not aware that pollen could be found in the air 4,000 feet above land. Our first experiment at Tallulah was with an airplane flying 80 miles an hour at an elevation of 1.000. This was obtained by posure of glycerine coated plates for 20 minutes. Further tests were made three and four thousand feet and pollen was found at each level.

"The result of these experiments will aid us in deductions as to the movement of pollen to this excepttonal height and rises to these elevations with the vaporized moisture. Then being light, it falls slowly. In dry weather it ascends." One of the most noteworthy examples of ragweed pollen movement, he said, ocurred during the hurricane which swept the gulf coast on September 29. 1915. Charity hospital here maintains a clinic for hay fever sufferers and the records show a large attendance before the hurpicane but not a one afterward.

The storm had blown the ragweed to pieces and carried away the pollen. ASKS RATE REDUCTION plaint reopened the case for more evidence.
