to deposit them in the banks. The
amount was estimated to be about

resulted. Eight billion marks passed

A Remedy for Bolshevism
He suggested, as means of crushing
Bolshevism, 1t would be well to instruct
the children in the schools In the Ian
guages.
The value of informal" physical
training was discussed by william A.
Stecher, director of physical education
in the public schools. He said that in
formal training was a great factor in
the Allies winning the war, as the
American soldiers were products of that
method of training while German were
taught by the formal system.
DR.. w. L. Taggart, of the University
of Pennsylvania, spoke on Chemistry
and the War" He said that the color
industry has come to this country to
stay as a result of the war. In 1914 the
United States exported $l2,00O,00O worth
of dyes, and in 1917 $17,000,00O worth.
Today We can make over zoo different
colors in coal tar dyes.
In the history session, DR.. Daniel C.

SOFTER PEACE TERMS
SHOW THROUGH VEIL
Bolsheuism and Politics Haze altered Allied Demands
Since Return of President -League-of Nations
Plan Undergoes No Drastic Changes

CONFLICTING reports from Paris
" and the blanket of secrecy over the
proceedings have made II impossible to
learn definitely what the peace delegates
nave been doing, but the most depend
able Information indicates a tendency
by the Allied powers to grant eas'er
terms to Germany as the largest de-
velopment in the conference since the
return of President Wilson on March 10.
Just how far the Soviet bogey has
driven the peace ship will not remain
uncertain for many days, as the neces-
sity for an early peace with Germany
entails quick and specific decisions. Po-
litical aspirations of the Entente ma
tions have also handled the helm, and
these have directed the bark toward
perilous shoals at intervals.
The Presidents chief problem has
been to keep the terms in respectable
conformity to his fourteen points, and
he has found both European politics and
the Red crisis running counter to his
purpose.
Mr.. Wilson returned to a stage set for
a rigid exaction of indemnitiees the ere
alton of a Rhenish republic, affording
France virtually a boundary at the
Rhine. Polish corridor to the Baltic
and the remapping of Europe favorably
to the new states which the Allies in
tended to create in Central Europe un-
der the Wilson principle of self-determi-
nation. In three days the setting has
materially changed.
Recognizing that harsh peace would
light the fuse of Bolshevism in Germany,
the American financial experts estimated
the total of reparations at $4,000 .00o,-
600, and the President applauded them.
There were indications that the Ameri-
can view would not prevail. but with a
Red empire from the Rhine to Vladivo-
stok becoming possibility, the Allies
saw the expedien,y of slicing down their
territorial demands. The Entente pre-
ferred a swap to a surrender and. in
reducing territorial ambitions, has in
| creased indemnities, but not proportion
ately, for the demands of the various
nations can never approach the former
figures and still hold Teuton Rolshevism
in leash. Thirty billion Is high maxi
mum.
The reflex move for q high indemnity
exactly suited England, whose territorial
hook had been baited for nothing more
than the Colonial possessions which will
come under her control under the man.
datory system.
Present indications are that the
treaty will leave the amount of in
demaities blank and permit this to be
set by commission in two years, thus
avoiding the present danger of creating
opposition in the Allied nations, al
though Germany may be suspicious OF
the indefinite penalties. This plan has
not been adopted

THE SAD YEARS SUNG
BY An IRISHWOMAN
Poems OF Dora Sigerson, Who
Died Hearibroken During
the Void Var

Long before the Celtic rena issance
opened to the dawnlng of a new light
with Standish O'Grady Lady Gregory,
Yeats, A. T.. and John NJ Synge, the
name OF Dora Sigerson was recognized
as that of an authentic poet by lovers
or poetry not only in her loved native
Ireland but also in Great Britain and
the United States. over the years she
produced in slender quantity but with
surety OF quality up to the time OF
her lamented death in January, 1919
Now THE Sad Years" joins THE Trou-
badour' and Poems and Ballads on
the shelf of the lover of genuine poetry.
For these poems. written during that
part OF her life that Tapped over the
great war, are the stun of poesy; they
respond TO every touchstcne with the
ring of minted poetic gold That is to
say they are poetry both real metal
and poetry OF high craftsmanship.
That other Irish poetess Katherine
lyman tMrs. Hnkson) in an introduce
tory tribute speaks truly of Her beau
tiful poetry, essential poetry, always
with a passionate emotion TO give 1t
wings" She loved Erin with great
| love-Dublin and the countryside-its
music. it's melody. its mirth, its melan-
choly, its mysticism. Mrs. Hinkson
says: NO one will say she was not
, happy in her English life. but her heart
was always slipping back like gray
| bird to Ireland" The allusion Is TO her
happy marriage with the well-lnown
English critic and editor, Clement
| Shorter. and her residence in London.
She had a sudden breakdown, in health
after a happy and healthful life and she
attributed It to her intense and isolated

The fixing of Hungary's borders ex-
ploded the Bolshev!k bomb in Hungary
and instituted a new government. over
night Russian Bolshevism had leaped
the ring of sanitary states and landed
virtually in Germany. 1t was this issue
more than any other which is making
for speedy decisions upon the largo ques-
tons.
Definite Decisions
Among the definite decisions made by
the supreme council since President Will
sons return were those for the destruc-
ton of the Helgoland fortication and
the MISREPRESENTATION OF the Kiel
Canal. The reference of the confisca- :
ton of German transatlantic cables by
England U the proposed league OF
nations was an actual happening that
has pleased America.
No vital Changes In League
with the return of the President the
league of nations plan was at once
subjected openly to the influences which
sought to alter it. The results have been
largely negative. The French effort to
provide joint international army was
rejected and the Japanese proposal for
equality of the nationals of member
states similarly failed.
The President became the proponent
of an amendment safeguarding the Mon
roe poctrine. He was reported to have
prepared this amendment and intended
to present it to the league of nations
commission on March 90, but was re-
strained by the fear that such pressure
would induce others to insist upon OBJ
noxious amendments. Instead, the pro-
posal was put fatty up to the premiers
of France, Great Britain and Italy for
decision that has not been made yet,
One OF the vital issues that bubbled up
from Paris concerned the inclusion of
the league plan in the treaty TO be pre-
| septed to the German delegates this
month. The French opposed such a sug-
gestion. but Wilson's insistence has ap-
parently won this point. and it Is re-
ported that the terms will carry the
league plan as a supplement, so that
Germany may subscribe to the treaty
without being entitled to membership in
the league.
Italy and Japan have been pressing
for general treaty with all enemy
powers, and at one time seemed to have
gained their point, but this theory has
faded as the Bolshevik dangers grew,
and joint peace now is improbable.
