Jan. 20. —Secre- tary Hughes formally denied yester- day that the action of this country In signing the Paris agreement for allocation of payments under the Dawes plan involved this Govern- ment in any obligation: legal moral, to compel payments from Germany. The statement said that the agree- ment reached by the Council of Fl- uence Ministers was on its way to this country and that it would be published as soon as it reached here. It denies that in taking part in the conference the administration vio- lated the reservation of the Treaty of Berlin forbidding the Government from taking part in the delibera- tions of any body created by the treaty and declared that the Paris agreement does not modify or sur- render any treuty right of the United 5 States g There was no question but that the statement was issued to meet expected antagonism of the members of the Senate to the agreement and partly in answer to an editorial written by George Harvey in Sun- day's Washington Post. in which he took the position that America had been duped by the Paris agreement. Text of the Statement. The text of the statement follows: “The portion of the agreement reached at the recent conference in Paris. which relates to the particle patlon of the United States in the Dawes annuities has already been published in the newspapers. The full text of the agreement is on its way to lhis country and will be pub- lished as soon as received. in the meantime it may be said: "1. The conference of Finance purpose of reaching an agreement as to the alocation of the payments' expected through the operation of the. Dawes plan. In view of the in- clusive character of these payments it was necessary for the United States to take part in the confer- ence in order to protect its interests. "2. The conference at Paris was not a bOdy. agency or commission provided for. either by our treaty with Germany. or by the treaty of Versailles. In t.‘.:ing part in this conference. there was no violation of the reservation attached by the “3. The agreement reached at‘Par- is was simply for the allocation of the payments made under the Dawes plan. It does not provide for sanc- tions or deal with any questions that might arise if the contemplated pay- ments should not be made. With re- spect to any such contingency the agreement in Paris puts the United States under no obligation legally or morally. and the United States will be as free as it ever was to take any course of action it may think advis- able. "4. The agreement at Paris neither surrenders or modifies any treaty right of the United States." Mistake About Reservation. It was said at the Department to- day that evidently there had been a. mistake in regard to the reservation which. press reports said. was offer- ed by Ambassador Kellogg d reject ed by the Council. This reservation would have made it plain that while the United States accepted the pay- ments allocated it did not bind itself to any obligation under the agree— ment. 7 5 No reservation was offered. it was declared at the department. It was admitted there might have been some talk of adding one on behalf or the United States. but it was deemed necessary in view of the fact that the agreement itself does not assume to bind the United States or any other nation to methods of col- lection in case the annuities under the Dawes plan .are not paid. The 5 State Department deem! the formal statement a complete .answer to all criticisms of the Paris agreement so far made. It believes there has been a complete miscon- ception of the agreement on this side of mantle and inferentially it ves foreign diplomats have read that by the agreement the coopera- tion of the United States has been obtained in forcing Germany to pay reparations.

LISBETII Lace is going to be a favorite trimming for the. spring and surn- imer frocks. Everyone will be glad of this because if there is one thing more than another that flatters a woman's beauty it is ft. utterly feminine lace. These th e frocks il- lustrated all have lace as the most prominent trimming features and COHEOQUGDCE‘. The um frock (left) is fashioned ’ of dark blue silk embroidered in gray. Two diferent embroidery pat- terns are employed. a simple one for the skirt and a little more elaborate one for the bodice. The latter has elbow Elect-es with deep ruffles of lace for trimming. A deep double ruffle is placed about the neck to serve both collnr and trimming and deep single ruffles finish the short sleeves. A full gathered skirt fur- ther carries out the "peasant" effect. and it is enhanced by a broad gir- dle of colored embroidery placed at a normal waistline. An unusual touch on this frock is the unpressed hem. The material is silk crepe. The third dress (center) Is a slen- der model of youthful ciel blue drawn cloth. Rows of narrow valenciennes lace edge the drawn work panels on skirt. bodice and sleeves. It is made gay by French knots of red ribbon and a girdle of the same.
