LONE QUESTION
HEMAINS SETTLE
' LONG ARGUMENT
REPARATIONS EXPERTS STILL
“UP A STUMP” REGARD
ING SETTLEMENT
PARIS, June 1, </P)—A single
question remained in the way
of the settlement of the repara
tions problem. Experts are wait
ing word from Berlin which will
remove the question of Belgian
renumeration for German marks
left in Belgium after occupation.
The question was thought to
have been settled yesterday with
the agreement between Belgium
and Germany to handle the mat
ter with private negotiations, but
overnight it developed that while
Belgium had appointed M. Gutt
as representative, Germany had
as not yet named its envoy,
j Emile Franqui, head of Bel
gium’s reparation delegation re
fused to sign settlement until the
actual negotiations started.
Conferees believe the situation
is merly an overnight delay on the
part of Germany to gain time.

UNNAMED MOUNTAIN
ERUPTS WESTWARD
HEAVY ASH COVERED THE SKY
AKUTAN; TRACE FELL
AT CORDOVA
CORDOVA, June 1. <#) —The
| eruption of an unnamed moun
tain on the south end of Akutan
Island, 1,000 miles southwest of
i Cordova was reported here to
day by residents of the far West
ward who said it appeared likely
that lava would overspread the
j entire island. The top of the
' mountain appears to have been
blown off, the lava flowing two
thirds of the way down the
i mountainside.
| Nothing is known of the fate
of those who may be living on the
island. Akutan village, on the
northern shore of the isle has a
whaling station and cattle ranch
with probably about 12 inhab
itants this time of the year. These
are about the only persons living
there- Heavy ash from the vol
cano clouded the sky over the ad
jacent island in the upper Aleu
tian chain and traces of ash
have been seen here.
When the ash was seen it was
generally assumed that the Bog
oslof, a mountainous and unin
habited isle, near Akutan, is ac
tive again.

'COLONELIS
1 HEAD SIGNAL CORPS
DELIGHTED, ALASKA
NEW HEAD OF SIGNAL CORPS
IS OF THE EMPIRE BUIL
DER TYPE
i Delighted with his first contact
wth Alaska and charmed bv the
open-hearted hospitality accorded
Mrs. Griffin and himself, Lt. Col.
Frank J. Griffin, head of the
Washington-Alaska Military Cable
and Telegraph System, returned
to Seward last evening following
an inspection of stations in the
Interior. Colonel and Mrs. Griffin
depart for the south on the S. S.
Alaska.
| Briefly, in speaking of the Alas
ka system, Colonel Griffin stated
he is well pleased with his survey
and all stations are functioning
very well. While annual appropria
tions are held down to a consider
able extent yet, under tl\e circum
stances, the public is being served
efficiently; that as fast as ap
propriations permit constructive
advances in the system will be
made. It is his hope and ambition
to do much for Alaska as it will
be within his power to do so.
Colonel Griffin sees in the air
olane a mighty factor in the ad
vancement of the Territory and
announced that each and every
Lie of Alaska’s 35 Signal Corps
stations will hereafter serve as
meteoiiogical stations for the pur
pose of gathering atmosheric and
phenomena data, of incalcu
lable worth to aviation- This infor
mation will be served to aviators
without cost for, the Colonel added,
j his men are very glad to assist in
! whatever manner 'they can and
j without extra renumeration.
He believes Col. Otto F. Ohlson,
General Manager of the Alaska
Railroad to be instituting a won
derful thing in his proposal of ob
taining colonists for the railroad
belt and predicts Colonel Ohlson’s
efforts will meet with great suc
cess in populating this particular
area of the Territory; and what is
good for this district is also a ben
efit to other regions. In summing
up Colonel Griffin felt certain
Colonel Ohlson had hit the solu
tion of Alaska’s falling population
“Square on the head.”
At noon today Colonel Griffin
was the guest of honor at a lun
cheon with the Seward Chamber of
Commerce, President Leon Urbach,
presiding, as host. A large gather
ing of business men attended tak
ing this opportunity of making the
personal acquaintance of the dis
tinquished visitor. A full account
of the meeting will appear in Mon
day’s issue.
