THE . CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 2, 1921. A QUESTION FOR UNITED STATES German Shipping Seized in United States Taken by Act of Congress. Washington, June 2. Intimations from Paris hat the Reparations Com mission might again take up the ques tion of the status under reparations agreements of the' German shipping seinzed in this country during the war, were mot here today with the state ment that any' payments to the com mission on account of these ships was a Question for the United iStates alone to decide. It was appointed out that, when the United States entered the war, the ships were taken over by authority of an act of Congress, which made the vessels the exclusive property of the American government. The Wilson-Lloyd George agreement with regard, to the vessels, it was add ed, ne evrhad been ratified. Under the terms of the agreement, it was explained, the United States was to pay to the Reparations Commission a certain amount above the value of the ships which was to he applied to the common reparations pool as an off set to claims by the Allies for ships lost 'during the war. The agreement was made in connection with the peace settlement and the view here is that, sine etht United States has not ratified the treaty, it has not ratified that agreement. It was assumed here that the Pari reports were prompted by the fact that the valuation of German ships seized during the war by any power was again under discussion and that an agreement with Germany on that point had not been reached. xVLLE SASH IS , FEATURE OF NEW EVENING GOWNS WOULD PAY FOR LAND.

A committee of the city school board is making a survey of 'the Elizabeth section of the city preparatory to' re commending to the board the selection of a air; for the Elizabeth combina tion grammar-high school. The board is expected within a short time to begin plans for the sale cf schoo bonds for the inauguration of the building program which has been hold up for some months. The unsat isfactory condition of the bond market is responsible for the delay in starting on the program. The board will hold its regular month ly meeting next Tuesday night and plans towards building the Elizabeth school and a vocationaKschool in Bel mont and for making additions to other buildings are expected to be Consid ered. " C. C. Hook, architect, has been 'in structed by the board to prepare the plans for the vocational school in Bel; mont which will cost in the neighbor hood of $150,000. While no definite action has been tak en thus far, the fact . that a commit tee ' has been named to recommend a site in Elizabeth for the new high school and that the architect has been ir;tructed to prepare plans for the voca tional school indicates that the board nopes to oegm its building program be fore the summer ends- The expenditure of a half-million dol lars' in building has been discussed by the board members on several occasions. As soon as the bond market becomes such as to justify a sale of the half millions in bonds authorized the work of extending the school system is ex pected to be inaugurated.

MISS LEITCH TO PLAY MISS JOYCE WETHERED PRIZE OF $50 IS PUT UP FOR BOYS 4 C. C. MooreWill Give Lib erty Bond to County's Best Wheat-Grower. A .$50 Liberty bond reposes at the Union National Bank here, in the keep ing of" President H. M. Victor, ready for any boy in Mecklenburg county who will prove that he grew more bushels of wheat on two acres of Meck lenburg county soil- than any other boy. The i bond was placed there by Col. C. C. Moore, clerk of. the superior court, and is offered as an encourage ment to all boys of Mecklenburg coun ty go t& into wheat growing. It will be paid to the boy whom C. E. Miller, farm demonstration agent, certifies to have grown more wheat than any oth er boy of the county on two acres of Jand. - "About sixteen years ago," said Col. Moore, "when there was a national in quiry as to why boys and girls did not want to stay oh the farm and much discussion fi.s to the besf means of keep ing them there, I suggested to folks in Mecklenburg county that, if the moth er would give her daughter a drove of chickens for her own and the father would give his son a calf or a pig for hs own and encourage both to make the most of the gift, knowing it was their Own that they had property of their own, the problem of keeping boys and girls on the farms would be sim plified. "I don't know exactly what result my suggestion had, but when I was out in the West last year and saw fields of wheat, some of them requiring: near ly two days to ride through, I thought what a pity we didn't grow more wheat in North Carolina. With that in mind and knowing we can grow wheat in this section. I offered a $50 Liberty bond as a prize. "I myself grew 45 bushels of wheat to the acre out here northwest of Char lotte a few years ago, as John P. Hun ter, Egbert Davidson, George Phifer and several others may remember." DR.
