GERMAN LEADERS ASSERT NEW
PREPARATIONS PROPOSALS CAN
NOT BE IGNORED.
Text Accepted by German Cabinet and
cabled to United states.-Teutons
Believe That Entente Cannot
Afford to Ignore Proposals.

Berlin.--The German counter-pro
posals on separations were presented
to Ellis LOrlng Dressed. the American
commissioner Sunday evening, April
"a. and were Immediately transmitted
to the United States.
The governments failure to deliver
the note TO the American mission Sat
urday night, according to the promise
of Foreign Minister Slmons to the
relchstng, caused numerous rumors
which represented the cabinet as be-
ing all hut disrupted by dissenslon
over the proposal
The protrncted deliberations, IL was
said, were due to conflicting opinions
on the phraseOlogy of the note. The
cabinet Is said to be united regarding
the fundamental principles underlying
Germany's new offer and also assumes
complete responsibility for the note, as
1t does for the step which led to Ger
many's appeal to President Harding,
Relchstag leaders were so Informed
Sunday evening.
The German Peoples party leader
stated that the new PREPARATIONS pro
posals Germany IL making are such
that the entente cannot afford to ig-
more them; that Germany. In view OF
the offer of the United States, Is de-
termined to make PREPARATIONS offer
such as will spare President Harding
any embarrassment and not make
Germany appear ridiculous In her pres
ent action.
This party leader declared that
France would have the least OF rea-
sons to reject the new proposals,
which he limited as having been de-
signed to represent liberal cOmpto-
mise by Germany.
The new German proposals were
said by the German Peoples party
leader to represent n liberal compro-
mise between the demands of the en-
tente made in Paris and Germany's
offer at London. He said they would
name far-reachlng guarantees cover
Ing economic obligations to be as
sumed by Germany in connection with
her present proposal
The German contemporaries, says
dispatch to the Central News from
Berlin, are very long. The first part
is In the nature of protest hut in
finality they are appreeiably nearer n
fuller realization Of the allies stand
point The German cabinet unanl-
mously accepted them.
II is understood that in the event of
the occupation of the Ruhr region of
Germany, says Reuter- dispatch from
Hythe, that no British troops will he
employed, hut there will be some cav
airy and tanks to show the solidarity
of the allies.

IMMIGRATION BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
RESTRICTIVE MEASURE GOES TO
THE SENATE, WHERE EARLY
ACTION is EXPECTED.
Opponents Make Vain Effort to Alter
Acknowledgement immigrants to
Be Limited to 10 Per Cent Of
Aliens Now Resident.

Washington. After rejecting an
amendment seeking to admit to the
United States foreign political refu-
gees, the house on April % passed the
immigration restriction bill substantial
ly the same as 1t went through last
session, only to be given pocket veto.
The bill now goes to the senate, where
Republican leaders said 1t would be
passed without delay.
The measure is designed to be opera
tive for fourteen months and would
limit the entry of aliens to 3 per cent
of the number of nationals of any coun-
try In the United States at the time
Of the 1910 census.
Three amendments were adopted by
the house. One would permit admis-
sion In excess of the per cent limit
of all aliens clearly proving they had
been subjected to religious persecution
in their native land and were seeking
refuge here solely to avoid such hard
ships.
The second would admit children of
age, Independent of the percentage Of
limitation, and the third would give
preference to the families and relatives
of American citizens and former serv-
Ice men honorably discharged from the
army or navy regardless of whether
they had been naturalized, in determin-
Ing the question of admissibiity under
the restricted total.
The principal fight was over an
amendment offered by Representative
SABBATH, Illinois, ranking Democrat on
the immigration committee, to open the
gates 10 political refugees. This was
lost after long debate, which was
closed by Representative Mondell, Re
publican leader, who said that under
it, even the former German emperor
could come here.

When Horace Greeley gave the saying, some decades ago: GO West, young man" he incidentally succeeded in getting q very fine brand of po- tatoes named for himself writes Will liam G.

A group of men who went to the West at that time settled in Il district north of Denver and east of the Rocky mountains, and perhaps, because they thought of nothing else to raise, they planted potatoes About them, in the highlands, the only wild potatoes in the United States were growing luXuriantly. This district is similar climatcally and otherwise to the highland district in Chile, where explorers are believed to have come across the potato for the first time. These Colorado wild potatoes prop agated themselves by means of seeds, and it is from the pods of these seeds that the Colorado potato experts gel the material hy means of which they have produced the GreelcyNille potato.
