bucklc film?" -

second half of the Evening Sentinel
$100 in gold contest. Answers of 25
words or less will be received by The
Contest Editor at the Evening Sentinel
onices until day after tomorrow at 8

Norwalk citizens will be especially
interested in expressing their opinions
in answer to this question. for it is
one that is stirring the whole world of
film tans. Should Arbucklc be given
a second chance? Should he be al-
lowed to retrieve past mistakes? Or
has he deliarred himself from the
tolerance of the American movie pub-
lie? The local movie public will tell
The Contest .iiditor their convictions
on this \"Itit ly discussed subject.
Yesterday’s question, the initial
question of the second half of the
Sentinel contest. "'\\'hat Christmas
gift did you appreciate most?" has
aroused great interest among the clan
of Sentinel readers. for answers are
pouring into the offices and flooding
The Contest Editor's battered desk,
claiming a goodly share of his atten-
ition. Answers to this question will be
received until tomorrow night at 8
o'clock.

each question will be made one week
after it is asked. This gives the
Board of Judges ample opportunity to
consider each one with the fairness
and care. l‘tmost impartiality will be
observed by the Board in examining
each entry. Handwriting doesn't count.
The Contest Editor is pleased to as-
sure several contestants *who ha‘e
written notes of inquiry regarding this
point. Answers will be judged solely
upop their cleverness.
Watch for tomorrow‘s question. It‘s
a good one!

Allied Premiers Gather at
Paris for Most Im-
portant Session.
By Afi'x'iatcd Press
PARIS. Jan. 2.—-l~:eady to grapple
with reparations problem. the confer-
ence of allied leaders opened hero-
promptiy at 2 o'clock this afternoon
with Premier Poincare presiding.
The formal gathering was preceded
by a number of informal conformal
and a. meeting of the French cabinet
at which the reparations plan to be
submitted by Premier Poincare was
approved. Shortly before the session
opened. Lord Crewe. the British Am-
bassador. had a conversation with the
French Premier.
The British dclegatiou_ headed by
Prime Minister Bonar Law. was first
to arrive at the Foreign Office. where
the sessions are being held. The Br‘t—
ish were soon followed by the Italian
and. Belgian representatives.
French Plan Presented.
As soon as the formalities had been.
completed. Premier Poincare prep!-
ed the French point of view. -
One of the questions to be decided
is whether Dr. Karl Bergmnnn. the
German financial expert. who is on his
way to Paris shall be allowed to pres—
ent personally the plan for a. repara-
tions settlement. which the Get-man
Government has prepared and has
ready for submisison to the confer-
ence. There seemed little likelihood
that he would be heard. as it was felt
the plan ought to he submitted in
writing.
Premier Poincare offered a reduc.
tion of German reparations to my
Lillion gold marks. . '
Two-Year Moratorium.
The French plan offered a. two-year
moratorium. but it exacts productive
guarantees to insure the resumption
of the payment interests later by the
Germans.
Under the French plan the Class 0
bonds would be used to extinguish the
interallied debts.
I’rcmier Poincare held an important
preliminary conversation with Prime
Minister Bonar Law this morning.
They discussed the. Near East situa-
tion and the reparations questions.
Lord Curzon joined the ministers. He
left later for Lansanne.
Agree on Turks.
It is understood that tlze Premiers
agreed that France and Great Britain
should maintain a united front at the
Near East conference in the face of
the Turkish attitude.
The Germans made a formal re-
quest today that Karl Rtrgmann be
permitted to make an Oral statzment
before the Premier: on the new Ger-
man- propositions.
Premier Poincare was expected to
make a. full statement of the French
viewpoint at the opening of the con-
ference.-
The conference adjourned at 1:05
p.' m. until tomorrow at 3 p. m., but
the delegates remained together for
tea.
By Associated Press.
\VASHINGTON. Jan. 2.—The State
Department announced today that the

States“ not to resort to warvfor the
period of one generation without the
authority of a plebiscite, had not.
been transmitted to the French Gov-

acceptable to France.
