The Reparation Terms

The reparation clause of the
peace treaty as finally agreed
upon by the council of four in
Paris, specifies that the enemy
countries must admit RESPONSE
bility for all loss and damage to
allied and associated nations and
their citizens caused by the. I'M
justifiable aggression. But in
view of the inability of the enc
my countries fully to recon-
pense these losses, the clause
states az inter-allied commission
will assess the losses on a just
basis for thirty years, beginning
May 1, 1921, with an initial pay
ment of 100000, 1000.
Germany is to pay the entire
cost Of the commission and staff
during the thirty years of opera
lions. The first payment is to be
credited against Germany's obli-
cation to pay for the maintenance
of the allied troops in the occu-
pied regions, and the second pri-
GRITTY is for the payment of food
relief furnished to Germany.

Hamilton Holt, editor OF the lnde'
pendent, who has just returned from
the peace conference in Europe, has
more inside" information regarding
the forces for and against the pro-
posed League of Nations than anyone
else now in America. For while he
was in Paris he was appointed by
Colonel House to serve as liaslon off,
Ger between the American peace com
mission and the league to enforce
peace, and consequently saw the
progress Of the covenant from day to
day in it's course through the COM
mission. Therefore when he consent
ed. to give me an interview on TIT
deal of new illumination on this SUD-
ject now uppermost in the American
mind. That it did so is shown by
the arresting array of facts given
here for the first time.
First OF ALL" said Holt, Il want
to ask our people if they are aware
that all Europe is on the edge of
volcano. No one, l think, can have
visited England, France and Germany
as | have during the past three
months, without realizing that this
is the case. The allies have won
the war, but while the delegates at
Paris are engaged in winning the
peace, the Bolshevik cloud grows
blacker and blacker on the horizon,
till today it oVershadows all Eu-
rope.
1T is only by concerted action, by
a League of Nations that will subst-
tute cooperation for competition in
international affairs, that there can
be the slightest hope of the future
peace of the world.
America Must Enter Leogue
81 did not meet a single man in
Europe who thought a league could
succeed for a moment if the United
States was not member. L met
many who assured me that if Amerl-
ca refused to join revolutions would
follow everywhere. Europe's foremost
Democrat, Premier Venizelos, or
Greece, told me that should our SEN
ate refuse to ratify the covenant,
all liberal and humane men every
where would despair. EX-Premler
Bourgeois, Frances spokesman on
the commission that drafted the COW

left to make plain to the American
people that Europe was lost II the
United States. would not continue to
play it's full part in saving cIvlliza-
ton.

Lodge and others that the covenant
is a British document. Nonsense. L

General FoCh Wants
Witnesses Always

General Foch believes that
there is safety in numbers in
conferences as we'll as armies ap-
parently, for he has insisted that
all discussions between him and
the German representatives be in
the presence of witnesses. Ma
thias Erzberger, the head of the
German armistice commission,
was allowed to hold private
conference with Marshal Foch for
the first time in the course of the
negotiations over the Danzig
question.
The agreement reached at Spa

use of Danzig in connection with
the return of the Polish troops
from France was signed at the
same desk at which the kaiser
sat when he signed his abdica-

NERVES THAT TIRE EASILY
Sense Of Smell One That Is Quickly
Fatlgued-Heat Nerves Practi-
caIIy Never at Rest.

The most easily tired nerves in the
body are the nerves of smell. AS you
pass a rose in the garden the guam
tity of perfume that gets intokyour
nostril must be many millions Of bill
lion Of times smaller than the tiniest
grain Of sand. But rub the strongest
perfume on your upper lip. and in a
few seconds you fail to notice 1t, the
nerve of smell is so quickly fatigued.
The heat nerves and cold nerves,
which are quite distinct from the
nerves Of ordinary sensation, also give
over working very quickly. A bath
that seems quite hot when you get into
1t very soon ceases to cause any par
tlcular feeling Of heat.
Nerves of hearing and sight can go
through an enormous amount of work.
For sixteen hours a day they work
hard, and are still willing to do more.
The nerves Of the heart are the most
untiring of all. From the first dawn
of life until the last gasp they work
without stopping for one instant.

Various Modes Of Greeting.

Savages rarely osculate. The salu-
tations of the Mongols, Malays, Poly
neslans, the Eslzirhos and Laplanders
consist chiefly of smelling each other
and rubbing noses; while in Tibet, In
stead of greeting by an adhesive touch,
the mode of salutation consists of ex-
tending the tongue, but this is done
simply because the custom Of the
country does not permit of any phys
ical contact North American Indians
do not kiss excepting in the presence
of death, when they profusely fondle
and kiss the feet of their beloved de-
parted ones. The native Australian
and Fiji islanders salute with a hug
like a bear. The Celtic race is not
especially demonstrative and rarely
kiss in public unless it is in greeting
after a long absence, then men very
rarely kiss each other and the women
are not over lavish with their mani
festatiOns of devotion.
