WHAT'LL We DO IF
HUNS WON'T Sign :?
Americans Do n t Like
Either Starving or Occu-
patton of Germany
FRENCH REFUSE TO
WORRY OVER QUESTION
NJ EDWARD NJ. THIERRY.

IN. u. a, SNdH ttrppii0lA"l
PARIS. April s.--What win the al
lies do in case the Germans refuse to
sign the peace treaty?
slarye them2
occupy an Germany with troops2
The American peace commission
doesn't seem 10 like either of those all
ternatlves.
WitAnut giving whatever answer
they HT7y have up their sleeves, the
delegates shake their heads negative
ly to these methods, which have been
nolsed about since rumors began COM
ing from Germany that the Huns were
talking rcbelliously of declining TO
agree 10 terms they consider too
harsh.
TITS unfortunate Germany wasn't
dsarmed at the beginning said Henry
White, one Of the American plenipo-
tcntiaries, rcgrelfully, "All would be
well now"
Obviously he was thinking OF the
tremendous rise in power and the re-
turn Of pretigc Of the military clique
in Germany.
u is the French who are blamed
to disarm the enemy Immediately after
tbe close of hostllities.
The French, however, do NOT seem
to bo worried much over the prospect
Of the Germans not signing the treaty.
They fake their cue from Marshal Foch
who recently said: "The Germans Will
sign anything we lay before them
Other great minds at the peace table
are not quite so sauguine
sThe American public, at least. won't
stand for Germany being starved into
signing" said one "Much as we des-
pise the Huns, theN viii hardly agree
that starving is the antldote. That's
my opinion
The troops came over to crush mil
itarism,n he said, mot to become tax
collectors"
Occupying Germany wouldn't make
the nrmans sign the treaty, accord
ing TO his view.
IF we went in we would only break
up the existing government, and then
we'd have TO administer 1t at our own
expense. That would be a sure way
not to collect indemnity. Therefore
we would have a double loss-the eX-
pense Of running the country and the
loss of the indemnity"
Most allied delegates are reluctant
to talk Of this phase Of the peace con
ference situation. They are keeping
their solutions TO themselves. Many
are optimistic
Il think Germany win sign all
right" said one Of them. "but 10 viii
be a bad, not 10 say danorous, situa-
ilon II every young man IN Germany
thinks he can't make an ordinary liv-
ing wage without submitting to a pro-
hibitive tax burden; they might think
n0thing-not even military occupation
and absolute crushing Of the country
could be worse than that"

Easter Toys and
joys Are yOLLier
Nowadays
for the Children

because in this Store, at
least, we've improved on
the old-style Easter
basket filled with only
eggs and chicks, whose in
terest to the child lasted
scarcely through a day.
The Toy Store has pre-
pared for Easter the most
wonderful assortment of
real toys with the Easter
touch. In these toys,
bunny and chickie, duckie,
larnbie and the rest of the
frisky Easter family are
gayly and seasonably in
evidence, but when the
Joy of their ownership
passes, they may be de-
tached and the toy itself
can be played with as
long as it lasts
And Wanamaker toys
have the toughest consti-
tutious known in Tow
land.
It's a rolIieking represen-
tstion of
Toys Filled with ToysI
Dear little, even dear
not-little, baby carriages,
cradles or bassinets and cribs,
Haunting bright ribbons, are
filed with perky little chicks,
demure bunnies, and usually
bright-eyed, smiling dolly.
These may be had in a range
of prices from s2.25 to sS.
Sometimes it's an sutono-
bile that carries these spe-
eial Easter passengers
(prices s1.1s to $3.50 or
farm wagon (S2 to S4.75).
Bunnies and chicks even
ride without fear on myster-
ious wiggle-woggie trains or
alligators, even fish-jointed
wooden toys that please
small children. Average
price sl.i5.
Dollies sitting fn high
state in high chairs, with a
happy Easter family of
chicks or rabbits clustering
about them in hgh gIee, are
priced 81 to 81. Dolly wears
a new Easter dress, and even
a watchl Then there are
Noah's Arks, with the decks
swarming with the onnni-
present bunny or chick,
prices 81 to S3.75.
IL anyone wishes TO give a
little girl an elaborate Easter
gift, one calculated to reach
her heart with sure aim,
there is a great, stunning
egg (ls-inch size) covered
with dainty eretonne, that's
a perfect nest of charming
toys, including a fine dolly. |
