Many French hotels are now applying a system whereby 10 per cent, ia added regularly the hotel bill under the heading- serv ice." all Upa to the hotel servants being thereby officially suppressed and the amounts thus collected being, distributed pro rata among the servants.

It ia argued fhat this method of remuneration Is more In accord with the personal dignity of servants who no longer will depend on the guests' generosity In order to make a living nor obliged to adopt the hu miliating attitude of stretching forth the hand for bakshish. Hotel guests also gain aa they need not now worry as to the amount of the pourboire which ever haa been an annoying problem well anown to an travelers. Theoretically therefore everybody fnouirt pleased with the arrangement. In practice, however. It seems another story.

Hotel servants In fact appear to possess In a convenient manner two kinds of dignity one kind for meetings at union headquarters, for Instance, when they claim the light to be payed regular salaries like all other workers. the laborer being worthy of his hire." and protesting loudly they can no longer accept the position of beggars. The second kind comes in use when they are in the presence of hotel guests. An American tourist In Paris recently had the following experience. Noticing an I rem of in Mr cent, for service on his weekly bill, he Inquired the significance.

The manager explained it meant he need no longer give Upa. Satisfied, the American went to the hotel restaurant and dined and gave the waiter, no tip. saying had learned this waa unnecessary. "But not at all. monsieur." -said th waiter.

that only applies to other hotel servants, not the restaurant waiters." The American's notification to the servants on the bedroom floor resulted in a similar reply. Yes. quite true, you pay 10 per cent, for service. But of course that does not apply to us. It applies to bellboys, hall porters and such like." Finally when the American ventured to suggest that the high official known as the porter should henceforth refrain from accepting backshish, the latter drew himself up to his full height and said haughtily.

Monsieur, the word service naturally only applies to servants." This experience, although perhaps not Chang Tso-lfn. rebel leader who, de sires to set up an independent loern-i ment in Manchuria, has taken umbrage at articles appearing in the Teklng and Tientsin Times, a British paper puo-llnhed in Tientsin, and la threatening reprisals against the British community.

China. June 4 (Associated Press). The attitude of South China to ward the North recently was expressed by Wu Ting-fang, former Minister to the United States and now Civil Gov ernor of the Province or Jvwangtung. Suppose either General Wu Fei-fu or General Chang Tso-lin wins the fight In the North, will the Southern Government co-operate with the victor for the unification of China? was asked of Dr. Wu.

That all depends on whether the powers In the. North will make their policy conrorm to ours. ir. wu reel ied. We desire- a sound Government.

to be run by experts rather than by selfish politicians. The first step toward this ia to remove the present President in Peking, convene a properly constituted Parliament and legally elect the best man for the Presidency.

1. Calaaaat would assure tearing up that part of the German obligation representing 000,000.000 gold marks. This would leave the reparations total at W.ouo.- 0UO.OD0 gold marks. But England has aid she would forgive all her part, which being 22 per cent, would be some 10.000.000.000 of the remaining dO.OOO.-000.000 marks. In other words, the total of 132.000.000.000 would be reduced to OOO.OOO.Ooo.

or slightly less, union rep resents 30 per cent, or tne present total. France would scarcely be expected to make such a proposal officially, for It represents the limit of her concessions. It Is doubul if Premier Polncare would dare today, if be wished, to place such a proposal before Parliament. But if it came from elsewhere there Is not the slightest doubt It would receive support In most Important sections of French public opinion. I say it represents about tne limit or French concessions on reparations.

France will have expended by the end of this year 90.000,0uu.000 franca, paper, on reconstruction work. While It Is difficult to say- Just what that means to the French, since the loans by which it waa raised will be repaid In franca at an advanced gold rating; but It certainly represents the equivalent of as.UUO.OOO.uoO. With the cancellation of Class bonds France's share of repara-. tlons would be 52 per cent, of 60.000.-000,000. or i.

000.000.000 gold marks, which represents 9tf.000.000.000. This would mean that all the rest of the reparation work, which the Commission on Reparation, with one French vote out of rive, baa placed at (17.000.000.0UO. would tan on tne rencn people. If Premier Uoyd George's plan of general debt adjustment were adopted, America would cancel 10.000.000 000. Aa Mr.

IJoyd George pointed out. England baa 3.000.000.000 owing her and she owes 1.000.000.000. and therefore in the general wiping off of the salte would cancel 2.00000.000, or about 110.000.. 000,000. France haa a claim against Germans of S17.O0O.OO0.O0O.

against Russia of about f4.000.000.000. ani Italy. Belgium and other Allies of 1.500.000,-000. She owes England and America which leaves her a theoretical balance of 1 16.500.000. 000.

Were the reparation figures cut to 5O.000.0O0.-000 marka her share would be o.500. 000,000, or' $10,000,000,000 less than her oook balance. Thus from a strictly theoretical point of view Mr. Lloyd George's plan -would call for America. England and France cancelling JIO.OOO.OOO.OOO each.

Of course one maysay there la a vast difference between France's debt to the United States and Germany's debt to Prance. The difference would seem to He in the prospects of payment. But If one figures that it will be a far day when Germany would pay up the last Drennlg to France, one might try to calculate the day on which France would be able to pay the last centime of what she owes to ivigland and America. Hag a. Preapeeta Dabioas.

In regard to The Hague conference. If Premier Polncare sticks to the terms of bis Russian memorandum, it is dlfft cult to see any prospects of success, un less the Russians absolutely reverse the attitude they maintained consistently at Genoa. It is- Premier Uoyd George plan to have The Hague complete the Genoa undertaking, which looked to genera political and commercial treaties witn Moscow, it is il. Polncare plan mat tne Russians oe called on to give the commitments they refused to give at Genoa, relating to debts and private property, and to witnoraw tnelr memorandum of May 11. and in return the powers would agree to Investigate condi tions in Russia.

The key to the whole Russian foreign policy Is recognition and a loan, neither or wmcn might get any nearer from one snort inquiry in Russia, unless Moscow reverses Itself it will refuse what M. Polncare demands. The French Nationalists, of whom M. Polncare is the leader, are dead set against the Lloyd George policy, which they characterize as selling out to the Bolshevlkl." They hope still for the fall of the Soviet regime in Russia and this curbs any movement In Prance for making any bargain with the Soviet which would strengthen it. Echoes from across the channel already bring British charges that M.

Polncare la trying to wreck The Hague conference. That criticism mistakes cause for result. M. Polncare la against Mr. Lloyd George's Idea of recognition and aid to the Soviets.

That Is the purpose of the English Government at The Hague and M. Polncare Is against the accomplishment of that purpose. American readers might bear in mind that the French Premier takes about the same view of the Russian problem me American Government does. Sec its spots. Mr.

Hughes simply stays away rrom The Hague. The French cannot afford to do that for political reasons, and M. Polncare seeks to travel I the same path aa Secretary Hughes. The best way for him to do It. his supporters think, is to go to The Hague and prevent Mr.

Lloyd George's plan irom progressing. It will be recalled that at Genoa the Soviet delegation made all its promises conditional on a billion dollar loan, and when the loan was not forthcoming they withdrew their promises. M. Polncare I now demands that in advance of being received at The Hague the Russians give definite commitments as to their I debts and roreign-owned private property without conditions. Of course, no one can foretell what the Russians will do.

One msy guess they will refuse, for after all the starv ing or a few more millions on the I Volga Is a matter of far less Importance I to the men of Moscow than their tenure I or power. They undoubtedly would prefer to rule over Russia with only 60.000.000 people left In It than to seel some one else rule over Russia with 15O.OO0.OUO people. OatlMk far Peer. Figuring on the strength behind M. Polncare.

It certainly seems that The Hague is a far less attractive proposi tion for the Russians than Genoa was. About all the Russians stand to get In the Dutch capital Is a commission of Investigation similar to that they refused In 1920 when It waa proposed by tne Allies, in lirji when It was proposed by the League of Nations, and In 1922 when It was tentatively proposed at Genoa. America's participation might Du tne omy ractor which would lead them to accent. Instead of four months of placid dis cussion among experts. The Hague meet ing promises to be much shorter and an entirely different sort of conference.

JVANTS GERMANY IN LEAGUE. Bemstorff Suggests Britain Might Act as Her Godmother. BERLIN. June 4. Count von Bern-storff, fornur Ambassador to the United States, in the Boersen Courier expressed the belief that the results of the Genoa economic conference again have made acute the question of Germany's admit tance to the League of Nations.

He fears the results achieved at the con ference will be placed In Jeopardy ifi Germany continues to be excluded from the League, as many problems discussed at Genoa would logically be referred to tne ieague ror further action. We therefore must strive to effect ourl admittance to trie League. albeit in manner Denning our dignity as a na-1 lion. says ount von Rernstorff. As Germany cannot entrust her inter.

The French memo randum on The Hague conference has! caused considerable surprise in official circles here, as the Agenda for this conference was approved at Genoa. where French representatives were present, although they did not participate In the latest decisions relative to the solution of the problem of foreign-owned properties in Russia.

It Is remarked that The Harue con ference, which will be composed only of I experts, cannot undertake political discussions and must deal only with the technical solution of the questions of I Russian debts, credits to Russia and foreign properties in Russia, This was agreed to in the accord with M. Barthou, head of the French deleaa- I tion, who insisted that there should be two committees or experts at Tha Hague, one composed of representatives of the powers most interested in Russian axralrs and the other or Russian, experts. It ia also pointed out that M. Barthou did not object to the agenda arranged for The Hague conference, and dlri not ask that the Russians withdraw their memorandum or May 11. it being understood that the experts would be free to deal with the three questions submitted to them Independently of any discussion or proposal at Genoa.
