BY A. e. JOHNSON.
LONDON. April 2s.-From an un-
questionably authoritative source I
learn that the British government.
while piqued at what is termed
"Germany's intentional discourtesy
in dealing with America instead of
directly with the allies" at the same
time confidently expects the new
proposals to form the basis for ne
gotiations which may settle the rep
arations question.
II Americas attitude conflicts
with the views of the entente. par
ticularly those Of France, an unusu-
ally delicate situation is bound TO
arise. The greatest apprehension
in government circles is that Presi-
dent Harding will sanction" the
new proposals and that France will
reject them without a hearing.
French Hold Key.
AS far as the British sentinent
goes, IL may be said that IL ecu
nomic experts agree that Berlin q
proposals approximate the demands
msde following the Paris confer
ence. Lloyd George will behavior
ably inclined toward further nego-
tiations.
On the other hand. American ap-
proval of terms deemed unaccept-
able in Paris and London would
complicate the situation and bring
down upon President Harding all
the displeasure of the entente lead
ers.
Resent Attitude Of United States.
Considerable resentment already
exists in Great Britain because
Washington is insistent upon COL
lecting the allied debt TO America.
while at the same time America, il
is alleged, is making the collection
of the German debt more dificult
for the allies.
Premier BRAND. Berthelot and
Marshals Foch and weygand will
arrive in London on Saturday.
bringing with them the completed
plans for carrying out the occupa-
ton of further German territory.
The conference will last several
days it is expected.
Partial penalties will be put into
effect Sunday If Germany refuses
" eSSOoS " NHC loNCcI OF
the reparations commission to de-
posit 1000. 100000 gold marks in the
Bank Of France on or before April 30
Payment Demanded.
Any thought of arbitration" OIL
mediation of the reparaIions ques.
tion by President Harding will NEE,
with the utmost disfavor both in
London and Paris.
Upon Americas reply to the Ger.
man offer. therefore depends largely
what action will be taken after|tht
premiers have come together 70,

coming weekend.

correspondence was purely . matter
between the German goveramen,
and America.
America may return the note "a

She may forward the note to the
allies without comment.

did not know their names till afterward.
I She recognized Mrs. Stokes as "a lady
whom I had seen in Denver between
1903 and 1909. while was living there

ROCKAWAY POINT WINS

When Justice Lazansky rendered his
decision the city asserted II had no other

The New Ignorance.

Now the Atlantic opens its columns to the subject of the modern schoolboy B unamiliarity with classical and Biblical literature It would that ignorance is the keynote of thI

It is no longer enough to know where the shot was fired that was heard round the world.
 When there was no literature except what is called classical il quite possible to lay claim to familiarity with all that good in letters To- da is difficult keep up with what is coming of single country, say, Norway or Brazil. The fathers of yet old studied textbooks in phy ysics which boldly asserted that the day might come when electricity could be made to lift weight or pull a body The knowledge born directly of the World War is greater in bulk than that which has been disseminated concerning the fall of Con- stantinople nearly five hundred years To in crease the mass of what may be known is in the of the to increase individual ignorance, comparatively speaking, and hence to produce super specialists. But it is all matter of comparison. With the immense increase in the of com munication, the ignorant today far better in formed than their compeers of previous ages
