AT DAVIS THEATRE
 Pitter Platter

Pitter Platter, musical comedy, which
 takes it's name from a pretty rain storm
 scene with thunder and lightning ac- compartments, which come at the end of the first act, was presented at the Davis Theatre Wednesday evening be fore a fair sized audience which warm ed to the colorful ensembles and song and dance numbers, rewarding them with bursts of applause and calls for encores. The book Is by Will H. Hough, lyrics and music by W. B. Friedla Nder, and the dances and ensembles were staged by David Benn1t
 Max and Edward Plohn who presented this New York success here had as sembled a company of good strength and provided everything in costuming and stage settings for a complete produc- tion. Jeanette White, leading lady, carried her part easily and effectively and her sweet high soprano was display ed to advantage in her solo numbers that were given deserved applause, Play ing opposite her was Deen Cole who did telling work in a rather difficult role that could easily have been overacted
 Madeleine Randolph won favor for her dancing and singing and capable handl- ing of her lines, while Margaret Lapiere played the vamp widow with realism and effectiveness. Milton Reick and Harry Murray sang and danced well
 while the chorus numbers were put or with spirit and with pretty state pic, lures the whole making very satisfact.

 The topic upon which Rev. MT. Strouse spoke was The Mission of the Church He gave a brief analysis of the present situation. We are all agreed that some thing is wrong today, he said. People are saying the church is out of the way. Something is needed. We have been hearing that science is going to be the saving force. From Huxley to Heinkle that has been the cry. Science has not produced the goods. Education has not produced the goods. Music, literature and philosophy have not produced the goods. The problem of morality is still unsolved.
 Men are WrlIlnS III HldSdZLdeS anu newspapers asking, why does not the church settle the present problems? This | is a hopeful sign. A great leader has said: This is the one last hope, if only | the church caA be re-vitalized Others are saying the same thing. We have as the captain of our salvation Jesus Christ
 Answering his own question, What is the Mission of the Church, Rev. MT Strouse emphasized the following points To exemplify the spirit of Jesus in the world; to keep alive the sense of God iT | the world to save lost men; to make known the word of God among the people and finally, to flood the whole world witt Gods love.

BARUCH WOULD CANCEL
OUR fNTERALLfED DEBT
Thinks $50 ,0OO, 900 Is
Limit Germans Can Pay.

WASHINGTON. April S.-Fifteen billions
is the sum Germany is able and probably
willing to pay in reparations, is esti-
mated by q. NJ. Baruch. chairman Of the
American Reparations Commission. in
the current issue Of the official publica-
tion Of the Chamber or Commerce OF
the United States
He suggests that instead OF cancelline
outright any part OF the British indebt-
edness that the United States cancel
conditionally the amount spent by Great
Britain In this country for munitions
durins the war. this sum to be demand
liability without interest and to be col
lected In case this country becomes IN
volved In future war. He also pro-
poses that the cancellation Of indebted
ness might be made q means of levelling
preferential tariff barriers.
The consensus in Paris" says Mr..
Baruch. was that Germany could pay
at least the capital sum OF $1,000 900 600.
About So0o, 100000 has been paid. The
sum OF 5000, 900. 600. spread over forty
two years, is equal TO about s1s500 0o0 00G
at going rates of interest-say sts pei
cent. which foreign nations have 10

OF German reparations the allied ex-
perts always took > per cent. which
would give $50, 600, 100000. spread owe,
forty-tw.o years. a present value o!
81. 900. .0o0, 900.
While in the circumstances it would
come with bad grace from America tc
say that the Germans would pay OF
what the Allies should accept. one could
say that there cannot be much doubt
that retaining Silesia and with al
discriminatory restrictions removed
from Germans and their trade. Ger.
many could pay a present capital value
of 81, 000, ,000, coo. The real worth of this
to the Allies would depend upon the
final judgment OF the investing world
as to Germany's ability and willingness
to meet that amount"
