Hope for Republic.
"A Toxic official statement de-
clared Korean propagandists were
spreading bolshevism in Korea. To
this. it is enough to answer that the
declared hopes of the independent
leaders is for republic, based on
models of Christian governments as
indicated in the declaration of in
dependence. The SO religious lead
ers who signed the document stand
for democratic principles but against
bolshevism. They favor the Amer
lean form of government. Their
ideals are we'll known.
Further, it is of record that 500
Koreans fought on the allied side in
Russia before the bolsheviki came
into power, but they have not and
will not fight with the bolsheviki.
Koreans offered to fight against the
'bolsheviki, but not under Japanese
leadership. The non-resistance
movement is in principle opposed to
bolshevik doctrine. Peaceful prin-
ciples of the Koreans are expressed
in the declaration of independence.
"The principles of the Korean in
dependence movement are the OPP
posite of bolshevism. They are the
principles of christianity. Koreans
are confident of the justice of their
cause"

AUTHORITY TO
ENFORCE DRY
LAWS LACKING

Gals, is that it relates to the sale
of liquor, whereas the others re-
lated to manufacture. Consequently
it was explained that the revenue
bureau will not have power to take
action against illicit sale, but will
retain its present powers to pre-
vent illegal production of liquor
Transportation of Intoxicating
liquors for beverage purposes
through a dry state is not prohibited
under the Reed prohibition amend
ment, the supreme court held today
in an opinion interpreting that act
The opinion was rendered in pro-
ceedings resulting from the arrest
of Homer Gudger. at Lynchburg,
Va, under the law while en- route
on a passenger train from Balti-
more, Md, to Ashvi.!e. N. c. The
federal district court dismissed the
indictment against him, holding in
effect that although carried across a
state, intoxicants are not trans
ported into" the state if their ulti-
mate destination is point beyond
the limits of that state.
Word from Washington yesterday
morning that the United States SUI
preme court has just handed
down a decision that Intoxicating
liquor could be shipped consigned
from one wet state to another and
pass through a prohibition state
without violating the Reed amend
ment, was received by the lew en-
forcing element of Omaha and Ne
braska with apprehension and dis
appointment.
Bootleggers and shippers Of liquor
on the other hand received the news
with joy and thanksgiving.
1t is pointed out that whisky, and
even beer and wines will pass UNI
molested through Omaha enroute
from wet points in Missouri to
Minnesota.
Cannot Prove Charges.
1T will be next to impossible to
prove a charge of illegal possession
against those who are arrested for
having Intoxicating liquor in their
grips it was said by a representa-
tive of Gus Hyers' Office. "All that
a bootlegger will have to do is to
claim that he is taking the stuff
from one wet state to another, and
it will not be possible to convict
him for illegal possession or illegal
transportation"
The only activity the "booze
hounds" will be permitted to show,
under the ruling of the supreme
court. is to camp on the trails OF
the wholesale bootleggers who
bring their cargoes direct to dry
states and unload to their GUS
toners, it was said.
No More Searching.
There will be no more searching
of grips and trunks of passengers on
trains, or private citizens who alight
in Omaha from trains, for petit lar
ceny quantities of whisky, and Po-
lice Chief Eberstein's "booze
hounds" on the Douglas street
bridge simply will be shooting holes
in the air in their attempts to ap-
prehend the real "leggers of the
boot" according to policeman
who has been standing guard on the
bridge.
"A1l of the consignments which
cross the bridge in the FUTURE" he
said, will, of course, be enroute
from Missouri to some other wet
state" #.

to expressions of Civilizations, the
thirsty ones were just as en-
thusiastic to voice their approval of
the action of the supreme court.

1t is in the gold mark that all pay.
ments are expressed in the fina
terms. This excludes deprecated
paper marks and fixes the standard
of payment in gold. The gold mark
is worth about the same as the Eng.
lish shilling and before the war was
quoted at 1882 American cents.

rangement makes the allotment oil
France about S. per cent of the
total; Great Britain's allotment be.
tween 20 and 80 per cent and the
allotment of the United States be-
tween two and five per cent.
The text of the opening clause oil
the terms whereby Germany is
held generally responsible, reads
substantially as follows:
"The allied and associated pow
ers affirm and Germany admits re-
sponsibility for all losses and dam
ages of the allied and associated
governments and their nationals
from the unjustifable warfare waged
by the enemy power against the
allied and associated governments.
Then follows a provision for the
commission on payments, and ex-
tended details of the operations OF
the commission.
Summary of Conditions.
In view of the fluctuations through
which the negotiations have passed.
an authoritative statement was OBJ
tanned today concerning the final
terms of the settlement. This sums
up the conditions as follows:
Germany is at the outset held
generally responsible for losses and
damages in accordance with Presi-
dent Wilson's IA points and the
allied response at the time the
armistice was concluded. To de-
termine the extent of the payment
under this responsibility COM
mission is set up to take testimony,
assemble data and arrange all de-
tails of the payments from the en-
enry and distribution among the
allied and associated powers, -
While the commission will adj
minister the details of the payments,
sufficient is known to permit the
determination that an initial pay
ment will be required of 20,000,000,-
600 gold marks, payable in two
years without interest. 1t has also
been determined that 40,000000,00O
gold marks shall be payable in bonds
extending over a period of so years,
beginning 1921, with sinking fund
beginning in 1926.
Rates of Interest.
These 40,000,0000O0 marks draw
2H per cent interest from 1921 to
1926 and S per cent interest after
1926.
In addition to the foregoing pay
ments Germany also will be required
to deliver additional bonds for 49,
O0O,000,000 marks when the commits
sion determines that this shall be
done. These three payments of TO-
00O, 100000, 40,000,000000, and 100000
100000 marks brings the total to
100.000,000,000 gold marks.
Beyond this total the commission
is empowered to fix anything fur
Their that may be required to cover
Germany's indebtedness.
"In other words" concluded the
eminent American authority who
framed the terms and furnished the
foregoing summary, "a commission
is set up with power to collect from
Germany to the utmost of her
capacity to pay, within the limita-
ton of her indebtedness"
