PREM|ERS ON
WAY T0HYTHE
Lloyd George and BRAND Speed
To Rendezvous for Repara-
tions Conference.

HYTHE, England, April 3D.
Premier Lloyd George left Kent at
noon for Dover to meet Aristide
BRAND, premier of France, who is
due to arrive there from Boulogne
this afternoon.
Before the afternoon is far along
the two premiers will have
plunged into their long -heralded con-
ference on the German reparations
questions. Upon its outcome hinges
the question of peace and stability
in Europe.
No FORMALITIEs DUE.
No time will be lost over formal
tiles at Dover. The premiers will i'm
mediafelv go to the home OF Sir
Philip Ssssootn here. and begin their
deliberations. Their secretaries Will
be the only witnesses.
The great conclave of allied states
men-and military and economic ex-
perts was called of at the last mo-
ment and the momentous conference
was restricted to these four men.
Whether President Harding's an
swer to the German appeal for medi-
alton in the repaTations crisis had
brought about this change in the
plans is open to speculation. Ger
tain ii Is that the note of the Amer
lean executive has radically altered
the whole European outlook.
Where a few days ago aggressive
military measures against Germany
on or Immediately after May 1. seem
ed Inevitable the chances now are
overw helmingly in favor OF peace
full solution, in spite OF Frances oft
repeated official announcement that
she is about to lay a heavy hand
upon Germany's neck"
NO DIsCORD AMONG ALLIES.
whatever will be done, however,
will be i'm complete accord among
the allies. President Harding's
earnest desire for an immediate re-
sumption Of the reparations negotia-
tions between the allies and Ger
many. intimated in his note to Ber-
lin. has strengthened the hand Of
Premier Lloyd George, who mas
throughout, opposed Frances scheme
for fresh military measures, chiefly
because he believes that much more
could be gained economically by a
peaceful solution instead of by CO.
crcive steps, which he fears would
only fan the flames of German in
tcrnal discord and add to the Ger
man industrial paralysis.

Mrs. 0ckstadt Cites Evidence
Secured by AirpIane Dash in
Trial for Bigamy.

Charles w. (Buck) Ockstadt,
Washington football star, ex-marine
/ officer, and actor, is in Jail today
at Syracuse. N. Y, on a warrant
charging bigamy sworn out by his
girl-wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Agee Ock-
stadt, Of Washington.
sEQUE TO AIR TRIP.
The arrest is a sequel to the aero
plane flight Mrs. Ockstadt, claims TO
have made last November, from Wash
ington to New York City, whers she
charges. she discovered her husband
living with an actress known on
the boards as Terese Van Grove.
Ockstadt, according to advices from
Syracuse today. was playing In stock
in that city under the stage name Of
Bucksleigh Oxford. when the warrant
for his arrest. sworn to in Boston by
Mrs. Elizabeth Agee Ockstadt, and
charging that he had bigamously mar
ried the Van Grove woman. caused his
arrest.
The Syracuse police say Oskstadt
admits marrying Terese Van Grove In
Boston. September s. 1920. but claims
he did so only after receiving a letter
from his Washington wife in whica
she declared she had received di-
vorce from him.

ARMY PILOT TAKES HER.
An army pilot offered to whisk her
to New York. where her husband had
secured a theatrical engagement. She
charged on her return from the trio
that Ockstadt and the Van Grove
woman were living as man and wife
in an apartment at 207 West Fifty

The Ockstadt couple are both well
known in Washington. She was one
of the prettiest girls at Central High,
and her future husband was at that
time Centrars premier athlete. He
won a commission in the marines
during the war, when they were mar
ried. Following his discharge from
service he began his stage career.

NEW berlin TERMS
BRAND Will Tell Lloyd George
Reconstruction Proposals Are
Unacceptable.
By NEWTON &. PARkE,
International News Service.

PARIS, April 23.--The new German
proposals for the reconstruction of
the devastated regions of northern
France are cons idered insufficient and
unacceptable by the French govern.
ment. the International News Service
was reliably informed this afternoon.
Premier BRAND is expected to tell
Premier Lloyd George so a. the con-
ference at Hythe this afternoon.
The eyes of all France are eagerly
fixed upon the old Kentish town
where the two premiers are to
thresh out the whole complex rspa-
ations question and arrive at a def
mite decision on the joint attitude of
France and Britain, not only toward
Germany directly, just toward the
prospect. of American mediation.
which was opened by President Hard
ing's note to Berlin.
HOW FRENCH FEEL.
That note continues to be the main
topic OF discussion in the French
press. 1t is now clear that three con
ficting emotions dominate French
feeling, namely:
l. Satisfaction that the American
President refuses to he the umpire
ir reparations question.
2. disappointment that he did not
categoricaIly refuse to have any
dealings whatever with Germany on
this question.
3. Hope that the note means Amer
ica's re-etrance into the allied
councils.
Some of the leading Paris journals
urge the government to insist upon
its proposed coercive measures at all
costs unless Germany fully meets
the reparations demands on May I.
I'VE are glad" says the Echo de
Paris. that Germany shows the same
interest in the problems of peace as
she did in those of war, but new
German preparations will not suffice
to cause the suspension of the ex-
ecution of the measures upon which
France has decided"
URGES UTMOST LIMIT.
Marcel Hutin quotes an official Of
the foreign office as saying that "if on
May l Germany has not accepted to
pay the total agreed upon at the Paris
conference, and given the surest guar
sntees of payment, France is deter
mined to go to the utmost limit in the
exercise Of her rights"
Germany has thrown down her last
card. and II wasn't a trump" says lie
Journal
lie Matin declares that "the note
means America will be represented at
the reparations discussions. Words.
however, are useless; acts alone can
save Germany"

ers. bankers and holders of vast sup

financial arrangements for credits
amounting to 81 SOC, ,00o. .000. and then
came to Germany to sell and put
across a gigantic American deal.
They found Germany confronted
by serious danger of fresh French
invasion. They heard of vague
threats of allied confiscation of any
goods shipped into Germany from
anywhere as part of a scheme to
coerce the Germans. They found the
German government apparently at
standstill. Thus. they arrived at a
dead stop in the negotiations, which
required only international guaran-
tees against confscation.
So they forced the leaders OF the
German industries which depend
upon their deal to prevail upon the
German government to act

Teh German government got in
touch with the American attorneys.
who gave their viewpoints as Ameri-
cans. and urged immediate new pro-
posals by Germany IL she would avert
catastrophe.
These conferences directly led to
the appeal to President Harding.
The Americans say they are here
on strictly business mission. and
that they took a hand in the political
arena only because of the necessity
of securing guarantees for their big
industrial group. That group is rep
resentative mainly of fnanciers in
the South and on the Pacific coast.

usefully in spite of the money left
to him.
American millionaires, take no
tice-the Soviet government will
sell for gold dollars that will be ex-
changed for food art treasures
taken from the Russian nobility
and royalty. Fine bargains there.
Most valuable would be the six
thousand volumes that Voltaire
left in his house on the Swiss bor-
der. and that his friend. the En-
press Catherine, took to Russia
with all the lining Of the Voitaire
house. On the pages Of those six
thousand volumes will be found. in
Voltaire's fine handwriting. what
he thought about the writers and
their views. This writer has one
volume, Montesquieu's spirit Of
Laws" marked by Voltaire. The
old gentleman argued with his au-
thor as he went through the vol
ume. That library will be worth
more than any works of art.
I The French government has
called for service in the army two
hundred thousand young men for
the 1921 contingent. For physical
strength, size, health and other
qualities this draft of young men
for the army surpasses on the av-
erage any other in recent French
history.
And this, in spite of war,
anxieties, shortage of food. The
quality of the young men is large
ly attributed to temperance-but
q temperance different from ours,
not prohibition. French govern
ment has entirely stopped the use
Of absinthe, a strong, poisonous
drink. 1t has discouraged brandy,
etc. 1t has not interfered with
light wines that the French and
their ancestors have been drinking
for four thousand years, nor light
beer, which is growing more and
mara vnnulor - Ero~,a
There are apparently two kinds
OF temperance: one that takes
nothing-except illicitly made
bootleg whiskey-and the other
that takes no strong spirits, but
continues moderate use of the
mild stmulants.
The experiments In the United
States and Europe will show which
ts the better kind of temperance.
Trotzky announces quite SOL
emnly that "the Soviet is now
ready for war!"
He says he has millions of fight
ing men, one hundred and fifty
thousand officers. That Bolshevik
experiment, which was to last only
over night, then give way to old
conditions, seems to die slowly.
Men find inspiration and resist
3ng power in the mere fact that
they govern themselves. even when
they govern foolishly. The French
revolution frightened and con-
quered nearly the whole of Europe
before its enthusiasm wore out, and
II was ready for Napoleon and his
experiment. Even then it was abler
as a fighting machine than ever
before.
OF all nations interested in the
announcement about Trotzky's big
army, Poland, next door to Russia,
Is most interested. She has six
hundred thousand soldiers under
arms, men that ought to be culti-
waiting the soil, adding to the
wealth of the country. Perhaps il
would have been wiser had Poland
and the other Allies allowed Rus
sia to manage her own government
in her own way.

The reply sent by President
Harding through the Secretary
Of State to the German request
for mediation is practically an
offer. Of mediation by the United
States in the settlement Of the
German indemnity. This Govern
Fnent cannot "act as umpire" in
the settlement between Germany
and the Allies. But this Govern
ment DOES suggest and URGE
fresh negotiations and will act
- . mediator "in q manner ac-
eeptable to the allied govern
Ments."
A wise decision by Mr.. Hays,
Postmaster General. Postoffice
employees are no longer to be re-
tired, regardless of their wishes,
at sixty-two for women and sixty
fve for men. If they are COM
petent and want to earn full pay
they will have the opportunity to
do so.
For both men and women,
apart from hard physical labor,
the most useful period Of life
should be from sixty to seventy.
five, when, with head clear, ex-
perience accumulated, and all fool
ishness thoroughly under control,

Postmaster Hays, extremely
youthful but old in wisdom, knows
the working value Of older men
and women.
Young Jack Cudahy, son of
fich man. kills himself. His father
was born poor, worked and earned
success before he died. Millions of
men struggle to earn money for
their sons, and one in a million

usefully in spite Of the money left
to him.
