Play Carried Out With
Splendid Interpretation.

A college play, given with enthusi-
asm, and more or less talent was
"The College Widow" by George AIDE,
given Thursday afternoon and evening
at the Washington theater by the Sc
niors of the Richmond High school.
The action centers about Atwater

campus in front of the college. MAT
ty" MCGOWAN, football trainer, is
sizing up the team and says that it is
about the biggest bunch of farm
hands" he has ever seen. Claude Mil
Ter, as MCGOWAN, was one of the anus
ing characters in the play. His sar.
casm, enthusiasm, and rough manner,
all the necessary qualities of a foot
ball trainer, were we'll brought out by
Miller. His methods of keeping the
men in training afforded much amuse-
ment to the audience.
And the College Widow.
Clarence Kerlin, as Jack Larrabee,
the football coach, whose pin the col

begins, played his part well as the
fellow who urged the college widow
to encourage" Billy" Bolton in or.

Helen Eggemeyer, as the college

ECONOMIC TERMS
VERY MODERATE,
HUNS ARE TOLD
Ruthless Sub Warfare Partly
to Blame for Conditions,
Council Tells Rantzau.
CIV As.ociated Pressl

PARIS, May 23.-Germanys eco
nomic status under the terms OF the
peace treaty is the result OF her own
behavior, particularly through the
ruthless submarine warfare. the allied
and associated council informed Count
Won Brockdorff RantZau In answer to
his note on the economic questions.
The allied answer which was made
public today with the text OF the Ger
man note is negative. It points out
that the German plea is exaggerated
and ignores the fundamental consider
alton which led to the imposition Of
the terms.
The loss to world shipping through
the German submarine campaign, 1t Is
declared in reply was nearly 13 mil
lion tons. The allies propose to make
Germany repay only four million tons.
Responsibility for this shortage In
shipping is placed directly on He-rna-'r
and the German share in replacing 1t
Is called very moderate.
Opportunity to Prosper.
In answer to the German plea that
Germany will be called upon to feed
sixty-seven million persons 1t is de-
clared that the peace treaty takes six
million out of German control. It is
added that German agriculture is in
better shape than that of Poland, Bel
gium, and northern France where the
fighting was heaviest. The Germans
complained that they would lose GER
tain necessary commodities. The al
lied reply is that Germany can i'm
port this goods. Germany, It Is assert
ed. destroyed the Lens coal fields, and
the coal fields taken from her In pay
ment for the destruction wrought still
leaves her sufficient sources Of fuel
The Germans complained that the
German population would suffer under
the treaty which was described as a
death sentence" The reply points
out that all countries are suffering as
a result of the war and there is nc
reason why Germany which was re
sponsible for the war, should not suf
fer. German figures as to the loss in
population due to the blockade and
/ speculation as to what will happen to
| the population in the future, are de
scribed to be fallacious. There will be
every opportunity for Germany to
make her position in the world bott
stable and prosperous. Germany, it Is
pointed out, has not suffered from
pillage and devastation and there will
be saving from reduction of arma
ments and the size of her army and II
the turning Of the armament-makins
population to works of peace.
