APRIL, 1919
April again and the bluebird

April again and the bluebird
And the chimes of Easter day;
And life awakes while April breaks,
And the lads come forth to play.
They doff their dusty khaki,
They take the bat and ball,
And the old days and the old ways
Come back to hill and hall.
And the old ways seem dearer.
And the old life more sweet,
And our hearts rejoice at the old
voice
And the tramp of familiar feet.
But when the wings of darkness
Enfold the college wall,
Our hearts grow sad for the gallant
lad
Who comes not back at all.
April is here with the bluebird
And the chimes of Easter-tide,
But gone is the lad who sprang up
glad
And tossed his books aside.
To follow the bugle's shrilling
And the stern drums beat,
That for us the hill might blossom
still
And the old life be sweet.

of the University of Kansas.

likewise. become the troubles OF the
State and inasmuch as the family b
certain to suffer from the derelic-
tons of the bad boy at the inter
section of the Delaware and Schuyi-
kill rivers, the Legislature will
doubtless regard with the solicitude
Of guardian the developments OF
the Philadelphia situation.
In the correction of existing evils
persons and groups and factions
count for little. II the metropolis
or any other city requires a larger
measure of home rule for its nor
NAL development, then the Legisla-
ture should grant such relief with
out hesitation. On this proposition
Governor Sproui is absolutely right
and on solid ground. Too much of
the time of the law-making body is
taken up with the matters and things
which the municipalities them
selves should have the right to deter
mine.

YdnkS Were Good Losers

Chivalry is fetish to the Anglo
Saxon. Wherever he is, and what
ever he's doing, he's always ready
to hand it to himself for being a
good sport. He prides himself on
playing the game square and giving
the other fellow his due. Whether
he's an American or Briton, he'll tell
YOU he doesn't mind losing to bet
ter man, and, lest you doubt him, his
applause will be loudest for the man
who beats him. He has holy ter
ror of being called a poor loser"
And so it was that the cheers of
a little group of American dough-
boys drowned out those of the fellow
countrymen of Jimmy Wilde, Welch
boxer, as he stepped from the ring
in London the other night, after a
14-round bout in which he had been
given the victory on points over Joe
Lynch of the American army.
And Jimmy Wilde's adherents had
been Just as enthusiastic in their ap-
plause for Lynch when it looked as
though the battle were going in his
favor earlier in the game. Lynch
was a tri1e larger than his opponent,
according to a report in the London
Times, but the doughty little Welch-
man was q scrapper. The outcome
was in doubt during thirteen of the
fourteen rounds, and the Britons
We'd with the Americans in their
cheers for the opposing camp.
When the Prince of Wales, who,
with his brother, Prince Albert, had
watched the bout, stepped into the
ring to congratulate the victorious
Welchman, he paid tribute to the
gameness of the American. And,
while Private Buck may have felt
regret at his comrade losing the
fight, none would have suspected it,
from the grin on his face and his
lavish praise of the Welchman aa
he came from the hall.

CONCENTRATE HERE

~ ENATOR PENROSE added his
hearty approval yesterday to
Governor Sprouts plan to con-
centrate all the offices of the State
government in Harrisburg.
IT am one of those" said the
Senator, who believes that any man
in Pennsylvania ought to be able
to come to Harrisburg with absolute
assurance that he can transact any
business he may have with the State
government at the Capitol"
That will meet the unqualified ap-
proval of men in Philadelphia who
often must go all the way to Scran-
ton or Pittsburgh to transact busi-
ness that ought to be done in Har-
risburg; and of Pittsburgh people
who have to go to Philadelphia to
get in touch with State officials
who might just as easily be located
here.
Senator Penrose has always been
friendly toward Harrisburg and its
interests, but he speaks for the whole
State and the efficiency of the State
government when he talks of bring
ing all State offices to this city. AS
he says, there should be no sub
stations in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh
or elsewhere. Convenience, econo-
my and efficient performance of Of
fetal duties all demand that Harris
burg be made the capital of Penn
sylvania in fact as well as in name.

VTTHEN the "Tiger" of France
wv told the anxious deputies that

the question of reparations
and the Saar Valley had been set
tied to our satisfaction" he appar-
emily might well have been speaking
for the American press. The prin-
ciple of mo indemnities" is not vio-
lated, some of our writer's hold, for
Germany is merely paying to repair
her damage; and the French occupa-
ton of the saar Valley is similarly
regarded not as annexation" but
as the only practical way of paying
France for Germany's systematic and
thoroughgoing destruction of French
mines and French industries. The
reparation plan, as outlined in the
Paris dispatches, seems "just and
reasonable to the New York World.
"As a measure of punishment" it
may, the Washington Star thinks,
"be regarded as effective justice"
\ twenty billion dollar bill of
damages does not seem in the least
unreasonable to an American paci-
fist of German birth who had just
returned from n visit to the devasted
regions of France. Even this sum,
declares Mr.. Oswald Garrison Viii
lard, will not make good all the dam
age, but it is "a satisfaction" that
Germany will at least be asked to
pay d sum WHICH IlOI III the lGdSl
degree be regarded as unreasonable
ed to them in which to make the
payment"
Writers of Paris dispatches to
American newspapers quote a pro-
visional text of the reparation clauses
of the peace treaty which sets the
German indemnity at one hundred
billion gold marks, or approximately
s25, 900, 100000, to be paid as fol-
lows:
Five billion dollars in two years
without interest.
Ten billion dollars during thirty
years beginning in 1921 with interest.
Ten billion dollars to be paid at
such time as the Allied Indemnity
Commission shall determine.
This sum is only a minimum. The
Commission has wide powers to de-
termine not only how the money
should be paid, but whether it is
sufficient to cover Germany's COM
plete Indebtedness. The payments
mentioned do not include 'restitu-
ton in kind in the case of property
seized or sequeStered." The allot-
ment of the sum among the enemies
of Germany has not been determin-
ed, but one press correspondent
hears of a tentative arrangement
giving France about fifty-fve per
cent; Great Britain between twenty
and thirty per cent; and the United
States between two and five per cent.
Allied troops, according to one dis
patch, will hold the left bank of
the Rhine for fifteen years, to en-
force payment. The clause in which
Germany's liability is asserted will
appear substantially as follows in
the peace treaty, we are told:
"The Allied and associated Powers
affirm and Germany admits respon-
sibility for all losses and damages
of the Allied and associated Govern
ments and their nationals from the
unjustifiable warfare waged by the
enemy Power against the Allied and
associated Governments"
Protests a plenty have come from
Germany against IAN unjustly ex-
torted peace" against "dismember-
ing and paralyzing Germany"
against "a mailed-fist peace" In an
editorial appearing after the publi-
cation of the reparation plan, the
Vorwarts says: THE indemnity could

Some Curious SOuDenirS
From the Manchester Guardian

Apparently M. Clemenceau's prac-
tical mind and hate of show are
going to deprive his admirers of the
right of gazing at the famous per-
forated coat and waistcoat in one of
the Paris museums, for this is not
to be included among the relics of
greatness for future age, like Nell
sons coat and the Napoleon relics.
There have been some curious
souvenirs of the kind, apart from
the half smoked cigars of royalties
which are treasured by Americans
and others. Most curious of all un-
doubtedly was Lord Anglesev's leg"
Lord Anglesey lost leg at Waterloo
and 1t was buried IN the garuen or
the villa to which he was taken. In
after years he used to recall how
parties of people visited the spot
Ito view the grave" A relic of an
other kind was George lis famous
coat, and 1t was q pleasant trait in
the fiery little king that he squeezed
himself at Dettingen into the coat
he had worn year before at Ouden-
arde. Horace Walpole's researches
after Queen Mary's comb. Wolsey's
red hat, the pipe which Van Tromp
smoked on his last sea fight, and the
spur which King William stuck in
to the flank of Sorrer' are famous

in madness and returned to expiation
in grim resolve"
But while economists speculate
over the future effects of the Allies
reparation policy, Frenchmen and
Belgians are calling for German
money to rebuild their homes de-
stroyed by German shells. The ''im-
mediate, pressing, absolute need for
to-day" in both Belgium and France,
according to correspondent OF the
New York Evening Post, "is that
Germany should pay an amount on
the indemnity which she owes for
the devastation worked by her. not
for war, but to destroy industrial
competitors" On the one side, as
the French newspaper Lint ansig-
cant wildly pictures it, is the Ger
man, with his huge debt to pay, ii
is true, but not stone of his house
has been tumbled down, not q win
dow broken, not loom or a screw
wanting to his mills, his boilers hot,
his engines working, his wheat grow
ing, his fruit-trees all budding"
And
"On the other side is the French
man. with his million and a half
of dead and as many MANNED, with
S36, 400, 100000 debt and $3,700,00O,-

everything destroyed in his richest
and busiest working regions, mills,
looms, mines, and all, with his fields
ravaged and his fruit-trees cut
down-and two, five, ten years need

must pay the cost of the renewal
work as far as she is able to pay,
and she must return the machinery
she has stolen, if she can be made
to return it,"
