A despatch from Paris says :-After three months of stubborn discussion the Allies on Friday signed an agree- ment whereby the United States will at once begin to receive some money on account and the complete amount in twelve years of the army of occu- patien costs. Twice before the negotiations lyeie come to an abrupt halt when Great Britain, France, Italy and Belgium,. attempted to insert the stipulation! that -any money collected directly from Germany for private claims should] first go to the army exi.nses. Each time Eliot Wadsworth, Assistant Sec -1 retary of the Treasury, announced these claims are not subject to any: regulation by any other power and Congress' rights in disposing of them cannot be infringed. The Allies held that this would al- low Germany to hold out from the Reparations Commission on the ground of having to pay the United States and hold out from the United States on the ground of having to pay the Allies. This, they declared, would not be possible if collection were done. by a single agency for all claims. But now the British Cabinet has changed -the idea was a British one -the Allies have not insisted on put- ting their precautions in the agree- ment. But they do not abandon the point. They simply inform the United States in. communications now on the way that article 248 of the Versailles Treaty gives the signatories of that treaty prior claims on all reparations payments. If the United States, at any time, collects anything from Ger- many direct, they reserve the right to claim it for distribution. There the matter rests. Meantimait =is agreed that for the . next twelve years the United States shall be paid $25,000,000 a year from the indemnity payments. During the first four years the current costs of allied occupation are to be paid first and the United States is to ., get only one-fourth' of what is left over, even if that is less than $25,000,000. During the last eight years the United States gets all that may be necessary to meet the payments after allied occupation costs are paid. This includes any possible' arrears. have been issued to native labor corps. The followi.,ag have also been issued in respect of gallant and meritorious service: 41,000.

Emile Pierrot, who met death with five others in the French airplane which caught fire in its trip to London last week, was a famous war aviator. His death particularly affects Paris- ians, for Pierrot was chiefly instru- mental in the destruction of the huge German Berthas which toward the end of the war fired shells into Paris. Pierrot's squadron had the signal honor of destroying two of these great guns in one day by dropping bombs from airplanes and hitting the guns squarely. When the guns resumed, Pierrot de- stroyed another, flying as low as fifty meters to drop the bombs with deadly effect. He also discovered the aero- drome whence the German Gothas took offn their raids on. Paris by night. On many occasions he bombed the field and destroyed several ma- chines. He was one of the organizers of ` the anti-aircraft defence positions erected around the city of Paris. North Bay, Ont -The :British AinJ erican Nickel.

A despatch from Ottawa says:. Religious revivals among the. Indians are held partly responsible for the disappearance of totem poles from their villages in Canada. When the question of the rapid disappearance of these poles arose at the . annual meeting of the Canadian Historical Association here, on receipt of a let.. ter.from H. I. Smith that more totem poles were being offered for sale in a British Columbia village, C. M. Bar beau explained the reason 'for their removal from the Indian villages. Although the painted carved poles now had no connection with religion the Indians, when they had a reli- gious revival, thought they should get rid of what they considered a sign of their heathen state. Therefore, after they had, enjoyed the thrill of a revi- val they wanted to sell their totem poles. Moreover, substantial sums were offered andthe market was get. ting better with their scarcity., The association deplored this and passed a resolution supporting the Do- minion Parks branch in its plan to preserve the few remaining Indian vil- lages. Two totem pole villages had disappeared since 1917. Work is commencing on the propos- ed Alpine resort on the plateau of Grouse Mountain, North Vancouver. The sum of $250,000 is to be expended on providing a, chalet, wagon road, motor road and hotel. According to the agreement with the city $100,000 ;;rust be spent on the property within' two years. The hotel will be within eaey reach of the city and will provide; opportunity for toboganning, snow- shoeing, skiing,, and all, winter sports,; whilst a largo area will be put asides for parking oars;
