AMERICA ON THE RHINE
America's representation on thi
Interallied Rhineland Commission
■while described as unofficial, wield:
as much influence in a consultativ<
capacity upon the decisions taker
by the commission as that of th<
three Allied countries officially re
presented, according to a statemen:
made recently by Rolyn-Jacquemyna
Belgian high commissioner on tht
Rhine.
General Allen, acting in his dua
capacity of commander of the
American forces in Germany anc
representative of the department ol
state, attends every sitting of th<
commission or, when unable to b<
present, is represented by Colone
Stone, of Mississippi.'
Xo decisions are taken withoul
having been first submitted to tht
American representatives and. ir
many cases. American suggestion:
have been acted upon and havt
caused agreements to be reached
when it seemed as if a hopeles;
deadlock was to be feared.
Lately, when the question of tht
application of the new custom;
regime in the occupied zone, ae
cided upon at the London confe:
ence on March 3, w'as discussed, thf
British and French points of view
were very far apart. After a few
days discussion. General Allen’:
opinion was asked.
The discussion had been somewha;
acrimonious and General Alien
while not indorsing unreserved!}
either point of view, proposed medi
um solution. To the French, whe
were advocating the sternest mea
sures. he said: “You can't get both
steak and milk from the same cow.’
To the British he remonstrated
that better results might be obtain
ed by adopting another course and,
after a few hours discussion upon
details of execution, the commission
drafted its report which was sen;
to the Council of Ambassadors the
next day.
The American’s view upon a mo
mentous question of penalties was
adopted.
It is the concensus of opinion
among delegations to the Rhine
land Commission that America’s par
ticipation in the deliberations of
the commission has had a restrain
ing influence upon extremists in
both French and German officialdom.

borrowed money on their saiarie
for months aread. and must borrov
more.
One government official, on t
salary of 2,000 marks a months
which before the war was a reason
able wage, says he has been unabO
to buy any clothes for four years
that his garments are now thread
bare, his shoes worn out. and h<
has contracted debts with his grocei
which he cannot pay.
"There is nothing to do but kee;
on going deeper and deeper ir
debt,” This man says. “I do not know
i where it will end. nor what wil
! become of me. 1 cam 2.000 marks
:a month; a suit of clothing cost:
me 3,000. a pair of shoes 500. a
good meal nearly 100—cigars, cigar
1 ettes. wines—they are out of the
| question.”
I Another official says he has sel
^ aside one-fifth of his salary- foi
i
i tobacco, but that this only permit;
j him a few cigarettes daily.
! “I feel justified in spending this
money for tobacco because smoking
keeps the appetite down,” he says.
It is not uncommon for men who
were wealthy or held high-salaried
positions to ask foreign acquaint
jances to remember them in case they
have an old suit of clothes or pair
of shoes “to throw awav.”

NOTHING NEW ABOUT JAZZ;
r PERU FIRST TO INTRODUCE
t NEW YORK, May 14—The sdrim
' my, the one-step and the jazz music,
are as old as the hills, and the an
il
cient melody-loving inhabitants of
i
Peru were the first to produce them
, And to make their claim secure for
, all time they inscribed the figures
, of the dance on their prehistoric
r pottery and metal so that when
future archaeologists sought proof
, °f their claim there would be no
I doubt about it.
( Sure enough, their claim to fame
,1 as the originators of the trots that
make life worth living for a lot of
light-footed persons, has been found
, by Charles W. Mead, assistant cu
| rator of the Department of An
I thropology in the American Museum
| of Natural History,
i This discovery, incidentally, blasts
i the theory that jazz was first a
product of the now extinct Barbary
j Coast in San Francisco, where ad
! ventures since the days of ’43:
I whirled with the girls of the dance 1
| halls.
And that isn't all—they have dug
j up from the ruins of old Peru such
1 instruments of jazz as the drum,
' the cymbal, the rattle, the pipe, the
flute, the whistle, the trumpet an 1
other devices of sundry character.
It also is recorded that the Huan
cas, a particularly warlike Peru
vian tribe, made their drums from
! the skins of their enemies and the
; music, it is declared, was even more
; terrible than the jazz of today.
The ancient popularity of the
jazz and shimmy is attested by the
abundance of dancing figures on
most of the pottery which has been
unearthed and is in possession of
the American Museum of Natural
History.
Mike Cooney has brought his auto
to town from the Canyon district
and will have it in readiness to
enter the Fourth of July races.
