F.aglo Duron ii, AO I Colorado llulldlng. Ity HKMIY SLYDAM. Washington, Feb. 17 "Diplomatic advices reaching here have at. last provided a solution to the mystery surrounding tho reported reservation which American Ambassador Kel logg sought to have adopted at the last session of the Paris reparations conference on Jan.

14," stales a signed article in the Washington I'ost today. "Mr. Kellogg, according to these advices, did Pot object to any par ticular clause in the agreement as drawn up for signature of tho representatives of the Powers concerned. Hut when these representatives as sembled for the signing of the agree ment the American Ambassador to Great Hrltnin and Secretary of Stale designate announced that he proposed to ndd after his signature the words: 'I'our ce qui concerne des seules clauses Ititeroasant HAmer- or 'for that which concerns (he particular clauses In which the United States Is Acted on Hughes' Instructions. "The effect of this, It Is explained, would have bd-n to limit America's responsibility under the agreement to matters in which America has direct concern, like the collection of America's 2 percent payments.

dealt with specifically in article 3 under the title: share of the United States of America in the Dawes an nuities, "Mr. Kellogg explained his position, based on his instructions from Secretary of State Hughes, which, in his opinion, made it advisable to have signatures of representatives of the Government ot the United States cover only matters of American con cern in the agreement. "But, accorc'ing to the official re- ports received in diplomatic quar ters here, the proposal of Mr. Kellogg thus to limit America responsibility met with immediate rebuff by Win ston Churchill, the British represent ative; M. Clementel, the French representative, and others." N'o Stale Department Comment.

Officials of the State Department made no comment on these statements today. The Washington Post article is regarded here as having originated in one of the foreign embassies. In his recent communication to the Senate, purporting to explain what happened at Paris, Secretary Hughes dodged all reference to the reported American reservations that are alleged to have been turned down. The State Department has refused either to affirm or deny that Ambassador Kellogg made any such attempt. Continuing, the Post states: "The point was made that no advance Intimations had hsen given that the representatives of the United States intended to restrict or qualify their acceptance of the document as a hole, and that the as sumption in all quarters had been that the text of the agreement had been drawn up and completed with the understanding that all were ready to sign and that nothing remained lo be done except to attach the signatures.

"The more or loss detailed reports do nut contain any reference to discussions belween Mr. Kellogg nnd the other representatives as' to the merits of their respective contentions. One report simply states: 'Under pressure of objections from Churchill. Clemcrtal and others Kellogg withdrew his restriction and signed without making "It sippears that this whole incident is viewed by diplomats as a innttei' which necessarily affects the agreement In so for as America's responsibility under it is concerned. Anyway, the purport of the restriction which Mr.

Kellogg sought without success to hnve linked with his sig-nature has been regarded as of sufll-cient importance to be cabled embassies here and in other parts of tho world, so that foreign diplomats could have for future guidance information on this point which is ut the disposal of the Urttlsh, French, Italian, r.olgian and other foreign otllces. RIYurt Not In 15c Ignored. "It is frankly stated by diplomats here that the Importance of Mr. Kel-logg's effort to restrict America's c.xponslhllltv to the particular Amer ican clauses of the agreement cannot be Ignored and obviously will not be ignored if. occasion should arise where the obligation of the United States under the Purls agreement would become a mutter of international discussion.

Hv seeking to restrict Americas responsibility. Mr. Kellogg must have interpreted the text of the agreement to mean that this responsibility without restriction would apply to all the clauses In the Paris agreement irrespective of whether or not tncy direct Iv concerned the United States according to diplomats here. "The fact that tne toretgn representatives -challenged the proposed restriction necessarily Implies, It is added, that they were not willing to admit that America's responsibility applied only to the American clauses." MUCH MARRIED WIFE JAILED FOR BIGAMY Marlon Eleanore Waller. 33 years old, of 150 W.

Paris, Feb.

17 Cardinals l.u- con, Andrlcti, Dubois, Maurin, Cha rimt and Tottchet have sent an open letter to Premier Herr.iot protesting against, me suppression ot the J' ronch l.mbassy at the Vatican. The Cardinals make an open an pen! to the Henate not to ratify the juippression.iind to place the interests of Prance above party politics. The Cardinals begin thoir letter to llio 1'ieniler by calling attention to their previous letter protesting HS.iinst various points in the program deemed by them as UK' iv io alarm the Catholic conscience. "The suppression of any embassy Is an extremely grave thing," the letter continues. "In this Instance, tire the motives? Was it not the Government which took the initiative in the re-establishment 'f olllciiil relations with Home? hat work, what act, what meas lire of the Holy See can be the ex uso for the decision now taken? Viiif to decide upon such a step without olllcial notice was it not regrettable wrong? It is the first time, we believe, that a similar fact.

has been registered in the annals of diplomacy. "(od cannot permit that such an abandonment of our traditions become consummated. We retain confidence that in the Senate will be loiinu majority oi men patriotic and Independent, enough to place the interests of France above party polities. It Is the wish of all clear-elghted Frenchmen as well as of all faithful Catholics." AIR DISTURBANCES BAFFLE RADIO MEN The radio telegraph has taken Its fila.ee beside the suhmerlne cable as ft means of transoceanic communication, John J.

"Across the ocean." Mr. Cnrty aid, "the relative advantages of the olograph cable and the radio tolc-rnph arc ditllcult to apprat.se. F.ueh Jibs its advantage over the other; each lias its disadvantages and eaeli In carrying Its share of the International telegraph traffic of the Vorld." The Corporation of America rias In the United States five high-power radio telegraph stations employed In transoceanic, telegraph service, Mr. Carty said; one on the Pnelllc Coast and the rest on the Atlantic Coast. A sixth is in the Hawaiian Islands.

By means of these six stations nine communication channels are being employed for simultaneous tranmisstoii of messages. "Two high-power stations have been erected in Holland and Italy," he continued. "Testing is now going on between the United Slates and t.rs.' stations, and it is expected on the completion of the tests to establish direct service. In Poland and Sweden high-power stations aie in process of erection." Commenting on the development of the radio telephone and the atmospheric disturbances which handicap it, Mr. Carty said: "LInless ye overcome this most formidable problem, even the relatively limited tiso of tho radio telephone will be still further restricted.

This problem of atmospheric disturbance has baffled the scientists of all the. world, and some are beginning to think it is something like tho problem of overcoming the weather."
