COL. LOGAN AND AMBASSADOR KELLOGG
When the representatives Of the allies assemble in London to discuss
ways and. means of putting theeexperts' recommendations regarding ,Germany
into force, the ;United States of America will bo represented by its ambases-
dor in London, Frank B. Kellogg; .,Shown, :above On the right,, and by Cole .
Janie A. Logan, Jr., who at present is serving as the republic's unofficial
observer an the reparations c'mnlissou. Contrary to the procedure at re-
cent conferences, these two representatives will be not merely mute note -
takers and reperters but will also be empowered actively to participate in
the ,parleys whenever questions arise directing involving the 'United States.
This' development is in part a logical sequel of the appointment by President
'Coolidge of Gen, Charles G. Dawes and Owen D. Young as American repro
sentatives on: the committee of experts which last spring repotted upon con
`dittoes in'Gerreany.
