tWrittea for The United Press).
NEW YORK, Dec. io.-Reports
that the quadruple entente has de-
cided the war shall not end until
Germany agrees TO pay huge IN
demnity TO her enemies are prob
ably untrue. In discussing possible
terms OF peace, the leaders OF the
allied governments have been very
careful to make no reference to in
dJInities. The only monetary re-
quirement they have put forward
has been the insistence that Ger
many indemnify Belgium for the
losses of war.
An open demand for a general In
demnlty has been made only by DIR.
Helfferich, the German minister OF
finance. Speaking in the reichstag
last August, DR.. Helferich said the
Germans would not be called upon
10 pay any war taxes because the
cost OF the war would be borne by
Germany's enemies. Recently, how
ever, DIR. Helfferich has indicated
that war taxes may have to be I'M
posed after all, thus suggesting that
German statesmen are beginning 10
realize the great danger Of demand
ing indemnities under present con-
ditions of warfare.
Exaction of an indemnity unless
il be a payment tn make good the
ravages Of war In an unoffending
country, like Belgium. is the final
humiliation to which nation can
be subjected Nothing will compel
the countries OF Europe TO fight
more desperately and ia prolong the
war TO a greater extreme than the
fear If being compelled TO pay the
war bills OF the other side.
As financial proposition II would
be bad business to continue the war
for the purpose OF collecting an in
demnity. II other terms OF peace

MANY MODERN
CUSTOMS OLD

Why do widows wear capsf This
IL one OF the things that every wo-
man does not know. II IL not be-
cause caps make them look pretty
and interesting. II Is because when
the Romans were in England they
introduced the custom OF shaving
your head a. q sign Of mourning. OF
course, women couldn't let them
selves be seen with bald heads. so
they made themselves caps.
go, though the hideous custom has
passed. the caps remain.
Why do ladies break a bottle OF
wine on the ship they are christen-
ing? This II another of the things
that every woman does not know;
but the real reason Is enough to
make their blood curdle. In the
DAYS OF sacrifice 70 the gods, IL was
customary to set some poor victim
when a boat was being launched and
to cut his throat over the prov, SO
that his blood baptized It.
Why do we throw shoes after
Brides The reason r. scarcely COM
plimentary. From time immemorisl
II has been he custom for parents
10 chastise their children with a
shoe, and from this the custom arose
OF the father OF the bride making a
present OF shoe TO the bridegroom
as sign that II was his right to
keep her in order.
Lastly, why do we shake hands,
To show our friendship. nowadays:
but not 30 in the days OF yore. When
our forefathers we're all fighters,
they seized each others hand dur
ing a pause IN the duel to prevent
treacberous hlow.--Iondon Tit
