To

Paris, April 26th— France’s efforts to de-
monstrate
her long distance supetiority
in
the air
was
a step
nearer
success
today,
when
it
was
announced
officially that
Lieutenant

at sp.

on Friday.
It
was
Doisy’s
second

hopping
off
from here
on Wednesdsy
1o attempt
a
re-
cord flight to Japan,
to
offset
the records

The

was
confined
to
a
mere
statement
that
Doisy
had reached
Alep-
po and
did not
state
what
the next step
would
be.
It
was
presumed,
however,
that

Paris,
April 26th—The
replies
of
the
four big
allied
powers
to the
reparation
communication
regarding
the experts
re-
pore,
ail aceept
the
committee’s
findings
who!ly.
France
alone
raised
the
ques-

proceedure,
while
ltaly categori-
cally declares
the report
tobe
“‘an indivi-
sible whole,’’ whiclijshould be taken in its
entirety
without
conditions
or
qualifi-
cations.
The British reply says
in
part.
“‘His majesty’s
Government,
for
their
part,
accept
and will
do
everything
in
their power
to give practical
effect
to the
recommendation
of
the
commiission
but
the
Allied
Government
should
likewise
adert
the
conclusions
of the
committee
with regard
to matters
falling within
the
jurisdiction of these
governments.

not
ap-

in the total of
the German reparation

to
