GERMANY SEES
END Of BATTLE
ON INDEMNITY.
Latest Offer Felt to Lessen
Chances of Strife Over
Preparations Terms.

Events appeared today to be mov-
ing swiftly toward a final settle
ment Of the world-important Ger
man indemnity question.
Unofficial reports from Berlin
that Germany is Offering the Allies
from 100000, 900 to 226, 6,00O, 900 gold
marks in principal, interest pay
ments, and goods in payment of her
war indemnity during the next
forty-two years lessened today the
possibility that the allied armies
will advance from the Rhine next
Sunday and occupy the Ruhr dis
trict.
REPORTS CONFLICTING.
In the absence of any official an
nouncement. contradictory reports
were current concerning the proposals
contained in the note which Berlin
Is sending to President Harding. In
fact. one German newspaper stated.
but without confirmation, that two
notes and q third explanatory note
were being transmitted to Washing
ton.
The conference of Premier Lloyd
George and Premier BRAND At,
Lympne. England. broke up today
without any decisive decision being
taken regarding new penalties upon
Germany.
t.. PREPARED FOR ACTION.
Opinion was expressed in French
onicial circles that the German pro-
posals will prove unacceptable.
France is prepared for any eventuali-
". II Germany's final offer is re-
jected, Marshal Foch will be fully
prepared for swift military action at
the end OF this week. He will throw
or German territory containing the
richest coal mines and industrial belt
In the country district that en-
braces a population of 1000. 900.
BERLIN. April s5.-Germany draf.-
ed two repa1tions notes for trans
mission to Washington and also sent
q third accompanying note to ex-
plain the proposals in the other two,
according to the Berliner Zeitung
Mittag today.
The newspaper Montagspost was
authority for the statement that
Germany did not suggest taking
over the allied debts to the United
States as part Of her indemnity TO
the allies.
PROPOSALS SUBMITTED.
1t was learned from an authentic
source that the following proposals
were adopted by the cabinet on Sat-
urday night, but it Is not known
IL they were changed in any way
on Sunday:
1-German Indemnity to be can
italised mt 5o0oo,0 ,0Oo, 900 gold 4
marks,
@The interest the hr~t year to
be per cent. Increasing subse-
quent1y In proportion as German
industry and trade develops,
STen billion gold marks to be
raised Immediately BY nm interna-
tional loan secured by q Hen upon
the state-owned coal mines and
customs.
The sum offered by Germany is |
far in excess of both counter pro- |
posals made by the Germans at the |
London conference. Not only are the |
annual payments higher. but they ex-
tend twelve years longer than was |
proposed by the Germans at London |
when they set the limit Of payments |
at thirty years. Newspapers report |
ed that the government proposes to |
make payments in both money and |
goods. |

PARIS, April 25.-Final sips for
the occupation Of the Ruhr district
by allied troops, if Germany's new
indemnity proposals prove unac-
ceptable, were discussed by the
French supreme war council this
afternoon. President Millerand, Of
France, presided.
FOCH PRESENTS PLANS.
Marshal Foch presented detailed
military plans showing how the al
lied forces will advance from the
present zones OF occupation on the
Rhine and the districts that will be
taken over by the various troop con-
tingents.
There will be a council OF ministers
tonight, when Premier BRAND will
make a report to his colleagues upon
the result OF his conferences with
Premier Lloyd George at Lympne.
President Millerand will preside at
this meeting also.
Although the exact indemnity pro-
posals which Germany Is making in
her Communication to President Hard
ing are not known here. a feeling of
pessimism prevails in some quarters.
READY ON HOURS NOTICE.
The opinion was expressed in ON
cial circles that the German propo-
sitions probably will prove unaccept-
able to France. II they are OF such
a nature that France cannot accept
them the French government will be
prepared for quick action.
France is leaving nothing to
chance. Under the guidance of Mar
shall Foch, her military strength has
been apportioned in such a way that
she can exert pressure upon Ger
many upon an hours notice.

Relations Committee.
The action of the committee was
taken by a vote of 8 TO 2, with
little or no discussion.
The two votes cast against re-
porting the resolution were those of
the only Democratic members pres
ent-Senators Pomerene Of Ohio
and Pittman Of Nevada.
FOUR DEMOCRATS ABSENT.
The only Republican member alb
sent and not voting was Senator New
of Indiana.

the committee absent and not voting
were Hitchcock, OF Nebrasla; Will
Jams, of mississippi. Swanson, OF vir-
ginia, and Shields. of Tenpesses.
Senator Swanson Of Virginia later
had his vote officially recorded as
against the resolution.

Republican leaders of the Senate
hope to be able to avoid protracted
Of the resolution, and to
secure its passage in the upper
chamber next week.
Senator Lodge predicted it would
receive the solid vote of the Rcpub-
lican majority in both the Senate and
House. and the ending of the long
existing technical state of war be-
tween the United States and the CEN
trail powers Germany and Austria)
as provided for by the Knox measure
would be an accomplished fact in the
immediate future.
The absence of four of the six
Democratic members of Senator
Lodges committee occasioned some
comment but there was no Indication
Of any Democratic program for invol-
ing the resolution in unlimited
debate.
DEMOCRATS TO FIGHT,
Some Democratic Senators inti-
mated, howeter, that debate on the
resolution might open up the whole
League of Nations controversy again,
and develop a series of pointed refer
ences to President Harding's foreign
policy on the Democratic side.
As redrafted and amended by Sem
ator Knox. it's author, and as agreed
upon by the Republican members Of
Senator Lodges committee, and fay-
orably reported to the Senate today,
the resolution now reads:

A negro preacher lost his way one

Reform VS.. Prevention.

voted much time and effort to an In
stitution that aids unfortunate girls,
referring to the difficulties she encoun-
tered I'm gaining sympathy and support
for an enterprise that Is not spec

Times:
isn't it queer that people always
take so much more interest In reform

MIS- FULTON'S ADDRESS

A large audience greeted Miss Lii
Ian Fulton at the Baptist church last
evening and she ably sustained her
as an earnest and forceful
speaker. Her subject, "Tomorrow's
Obligations" resolved itself into an
appeal for child welfare and Christian
citizenship. She drew beautiful pic
ture of an ideal home and claimed
that home was the foundation of the
state. and as the home is so will the
state be. She spoke feelingly OF
former visit to Ocala and the kind
reception she received from the peo-
pie at that time, and of the wonderful
victories accomplished since then, but
she urged her audience to disabuse
their minds of the idea that then
work was now done, claiming that sci
entific instruction inaugurated in thu
public schools by the w. c. t. U. hat

and that the same course must stu

TO save money, unless he be one OF
those individuals possessed OF an ex-
traordinarily unrelenting character
according to Samuel Crowther, writing
I'm System, the Magazine of Business
sis for the money TO be passed into the
savings account before 1t reaches MIN
that is, to put him in the position,
once he has made his resolution. OF
having to make another resolution 10
quit saving In order to stop the process.
"Finally, take the convenience OF
withdrawal. A mar will rightly hesi-
tate about going into any system OF
