Washington, April II. - Boyhood
DAYS of President Harding, when he
used to slip off to the old swimming
hole in the creek near Caledonia, o.,
were recalled by him in reply to a
letter in lead pencil from l2-year-old
John D. Waterman, Of this city.
The presidents letter was in
answer to an appeal from John that
he attend a bali given by the ladies
of the community house for the
benefit Of a swimming pool for boys.
In explaining that he had been asked
by his playmates to write the presi-
dent, John said:
"Mr. president, we want SWIM
ming pool. just like you would il
you were a boy, so please come. !
told the boys that I did not believe
any president would let the boys go
without swimming pool when he
could let us have it by paying 50 or
IS cents for ticket for ball. II
you come, everybody will come and
we can have our swimming pool, so
please come"

Occupation OF the Ruhr basin. in
volving 100000 troops, with the ex-
ploitation by the French of the mines
and factories, including the Krupps,
was the sole sanction definitely re-
ported at Saturdays conference at
the Elysee palace, according to in
formation received from an authorita.
tive source.
Owing to the fact that France
alone must furnish the troops, it is
necessary to call up two classes to
the colors-lol8 and 1olo-to raise
sufficient efectives to carry out the
operation.
Although the military chiefs pre-
fer more extended occupation in
Germany, including the seizure of
Westphalia, the political heads hesi-
tate to adopt measures requiring per-
haps more than 100000 soldiers to
execute.
To Notify Allies.
At the conference yesterday it was
decided to notify the allied powers
and the United States the exact scope
of the military enterprises to be
taken before troops started forward.
in order to avoid a repetition of the
Frankfort occupation which the
British disavowed on the pretext that
the step was taken without their
cognizance.
The allies and America will have
time to formulate any suggestions Or
notifications to the French military
operations before the sanctions are
taken.
Think Germany Bluf6ng.
The French believe that Germany
is merely sparring for time and is
trying to bluff them out of taking
military action independently. since
the British and Italians will not par
ticipate, so Premier BRAND and Mar
shall Foch are going ahead preparing
plans, regardless of the semi-ofIcial
Berlin statements saying that For
eign Minister Simons is preparing
new and attractive reparations offer
1t is reported that Germany is
about to ask the United States If
she will consent to the French, Brit
ish, Belgian and Italian war debts
being transferred to Germany in
lieu Of reparations, permitting the
Teutons TO pay the United States

Reds Planning
, MayDay Reign Of
Terror in Paris
Communist Organ Summons
Unemployed to March on
Dancing Palaces Where
Revels Staged.
BY NEWTON c. PARKE,
International News Service Staff
COrrespOndent.

Paris, April 1.-THE annual cam
paign to create reign of terror in
Paris on May day has just been
launched by French communist lead
ers.
The first shot is an article in the
communist organ, Humanite, invit-
ing 10000" unemployed of Paris
to march on the gilded dance palaces
of Montmartre as a demonstration
against the reckless expenditure Of
money by Americans, South Ameri-
cans, English and French newly
rich" This article, it is understood,
will shortly be followed by others
with the object of stirring up the url-
employed to a great manifestation
on the first day OF May. s.
We cannot better $ymbolize the
sscandalods stare OF present day NOR
ais than TO point out to the 10000
unemployed in Paris the character
and costly advertisements and the
clientele of the Montmartre establish
nents, where a small minority spend
their nights" begins Humanite.
with the official completely of the
police, a band of prohteers are ex-
plotting the newly rich and the for
eigners under every possible form.
Complain of Prices.
"Since the armistice, and even dur
ing the last six months, these night
Joints have continued to multiply.
An entire section Of Paris Mont
inartre) is infested with them. They
serve champagne suppers. at out
rageous prices. Some of them are
full until daybreak despite solemn
police regulations that provide for
their closing at 2 a. m. And the
only answer the police give is this:
We'll, we can't all be bishops
"The personnel of these places in
clude, in addition to the walters,
wine merchants and professional
dancers, a horde Of young and old
women, more or less undressed, for
the benefit of the clients, some NIT
sicians and few detectives. The
clients spend fortunes every nigfi,.
One night all the unemployed of
Paris should march on the Place
Pigalie (center of Montmartre) to
show these reckless spenders their
misery"
No Extra Precautions.
The police Lave taken no extra
precautions as result of the CONF
munist appeal. Most of the Mont
matre night establishments lie along
narrow streets, converging on the
Place Pigalle, or intersecting the
Rue Pigalle. Previous experience in
May day rioting, especially around
the Place de Ia Republique, has
taught the French police that such a
section can easily be defended
against mobs.
The Paris Federation of Labor has
announced that it will observe May
day on May /, though that day is
Sunday this year. The communist
leaders are proposing to continue
demonstrations the following day.

Cattle Disease
Identified by
Federal Expert
Government Veterinarian at
Fort Dodge Declares Hem
orrhagic Septicemia"
Killed Stock.

The cattle disease that recently
killed l8 head of young stock on
the farm of Henry Wild, six miles
northeast Of Council Bluffs, and sew
eral more on adjoining farms, throw
ing big scare into stock raisers
and arousing the interest OF veter-
irarians all over, the country, has
been identified.
The disease has been officially de-
termined to be 'hemorrahagic sep
ticemia," and of the most virulent
type that had ever been called to
the attention of federal department
officials.
The true character of the disease
was first detected by DR.. D. II.
Shore, federal veterinarian now To-
Gated at Fort. Dodge, and his opin-
ion has since been definitely con-
firmed by official investigation at
Washington. This information has
been conveyed to DR.. H. D. Miller,
deputy state veterinarian at Council
Bluffs.
An interesting phase Of the stu
alton is the eagerness Of the federal
department to obtain specimens and
DR.. Miller was instructed to collect
all the virus possible and forward
it. 1t is to be used in making cul-
lures for the production of serum
to combat the disease wherever it
appears. ~
The disease is rather rare, infee-
tious, but not contagious. Six years
ago it appeared in the Yellowstone
National park district in a milder
form, but of sufficient virulence to
nearly exterminate the elk and buff
falo insthe infected district. Prompt
action by the federal officials con-
fined it to wild animals and ii was
placed under control before it at
tackled cattle herds.
The same course confined it to the
half dozen farms near Council
Bluffs, where it suddenly appeared,
and it now appears to be entirely
cradicated. The source from which
it came has not been located.
The Ames college experts, who
examined the first specimens sent by
DR.. Miller, went a short distance on
the right road, but became mystihed
when they found that it was a BIZ
polar organism that refused TO fol-
low the usual course.
Bipolar organisms have a concen-
trated center at each end, and fol-
lowing the mono cell habits, multi.
ply by dividing. There are only two
creatures when the cell organism di-
vides in the middle, but when the
bipolar fellow splits up there are
four, and the next multiplication is
eight, thus accounting for the rapid
ity of the course of the disease
