Berlin = Germany's reply to the AL
lied ultimatum accepting the terms
laid down by the Allied supreme coun-
ell in London, is confined to a repeti-
ton of the exact terms of the decision
of the Allies with regard to guaran-
tees, disarmament, the trial of war
criminals and financial conditions. The
reply states that Germany adheres I'M
conditionally to these decisions.
The reply was sent to the Allied cap
itals for transmission to the heads of
the Allied governments, after the cab
met headed by DR.. julius Wirth, the
new chancellor, had received what
amounted to vote of confidence in
the Reichstag last night, that body APP
proving of the ministry's decision to
accept the Allied ultimatum, 221 to TO.
The votes cast for acceptance of the
Entente terms were from the Centrist,
Democratic, Independent Sosialist and
Majority Socialist party. The nation
alists, German Peoples party, Com
munists and the Bavarian Peoples par
ty were opposed.
Emphasize Tremendous Burden.
DR.. Wirth emphasized that tremend-
Gus burden Germany would assume in
agreeing to meet the terms, but in
sisted the alternative of French occu-
patton of the Ruhr valley would COM
pletely cripple Germany's industrial
life and demoralize the country.
The Allied demand in brief, was
payment by June /, of the 100000
900 gold marks due on May /; trial of
German officers and soldiers accused of
crimes during the war; complete dis
armament of the military, naval and
aerial arms of Germany's service, and
ultimate payment of $33,750, O00,-
600 in reparations. The PREPARATIONS
obligation would be paid in install
ments of approximately $485,O00,000 a
year, in addition to 25 per cent of the
value of Germans exports.
Since the announcement of the new
German ministry there has been some
speculation as to its stability.

ToDAY's QUESTION::
IODAI , QUEo HUN:
Should the United States resume
trade relations with Russia?

Should the United States resume
trade relations with Russia?
ANSWERS:
F.. Lindstrom, 573 Charles st., time
keeper-If there is any money in it for
this country l don't see what the OBJ
jections are. can see a lot of diff
cuIties in the way but if these are
overcome think it would be a good
thing to begin trading with Russia
again after these many years.
G. Anderson, 35 Corcoran Drive, con-
struction foreman, They have a good
many things in Russia that the United
States could use and profit by it, and l
think if there is any possible way Of
opening trade with Russia that we
should go ahead and do it right away.
1t would help put Russia back on its
feet, too.
S. T. Constant, 701 Engel ST., tailor
Russia should be the last country
this country should have anything to
do with. When the Bolsheviks are
chased out of Russia then it will be
safe for anybody to do business with
her. But look out for the Reds.
Louis Sigmund, 567 West ST., secre-
tary-I don't see how this country is
in position to do any trading with
Russia. The Soviet government is hos
tile to this country and they hold the
upper hand in Russia And / can't see
very much in making agreements with
Soviet Russia. They would be just as
bad as the original "scrap of paper"
Jacob Play, w. Prairie ave-, tube
bracer-I think that anything that we
would want from Russia we can get
from some other country nearer to us
and safer for us to deal with. If that
is all this country wants is just a mar
ket for its superfuous products why
don't they exploit South American
countries where there is just as much
market as any other place in the
world.

of 1920 in the valuation would bring
the total up to about 1870 and it was
said that this woulu be lower valua-
ton than is now found in many Of
the cities of the state.
No Decision on improvements.
No announcement was made as to
just what rule would be followed in
the assessment of improvements in
property, but it was intimated that
there had been little change in build
ing values and that the improvements
on real estate in the county would
probably be assessed at close to the
same figures as returned last year with
the usual deductions for depreciation
on account of the age of the buildings.
The assessors are finding many new
buildings TO be added to the tax roll
in the city and it is certain that there
will be large increase in the total
valuation of the property when the
assessment is completed in August or
September. Personal investigation is
being made of every piece Of property
in the city before the assessment is
made.

cess of million dollars. The assess
ment of the real estate in the city last
year totaled $13,25O,s95 and the 1870
increase will mean an added 81, 1926 ,Oo9.
If this increase is maintained through
out the assessment and the 35-mil! tax
was levied for next year, it would
mean an increase TO the city treasury
IN excess of $4,000
Expect Slump in Personal.
It is admitted that the assessors are
expecting a slump in the amount Of
personal property returned for taxa
ton this year. A part of this slump
will be due to the fact that the reduc-
ton business has brought CORE
spending reduction in manufacturers
and merchants stock and more of it
will come as a result of the fear that
the state may take away the personal
property deduction in the payment of
the income tax. Many people have
been rather liberal in the return of
personal property for taxation on ac-
count of the fact that the city received
this tax and it was deducted from the
income tax. With the possibility of
the taxpayers being called upon to pay
both the personal and the income tax
it is certain that there will be pairing
of the returns which will be indicated
in the total assessment returned. It
is possible that this reduction in per-
sonal property returned for taxation
will more than Offset the total increase
brought by the 1910 increase in land
values.

Disappointment in France.

(By Associated Press Leased Wlrel
Paris - Satisfaction in French Off
cial and political circles over the ac-
ceptance by Germany of the terms of
the Allied ultimatum on reparations
was qualified by the smallness of the
majority in the Reichstag in favor of
such acceptance, and the feeling here
that the new German cabinet is most
unstable. 1t was reiterated in official
quarters this morning that the French
forces on the Rhine would be main
tanned at sufficient strength to occupy
the Ruhr until it becomes materially
evident that the Germans will carry
out the terms of the ultimatum. Many
deputies today exchanged views re-
garding the prospective assault upon
the cabinet of Premier BRAND by the
large element in the chamber which is
dissatisfied with the decisions of the
last London conference.

Washington Administration Off
Gals expressed satisfaction today over
the decision of the German govern
ment to accept the PREPARATIONS terms
of the Allies.
1t is known an invasion of the Ruhr
valley by the Allied forces would have
been regarded by this country with
deep concern although the Allies had
been assured this country would stand
with them. Marked relief was in
dictated, when it became evident that
Germany by acceptance had averted the
adoption of such measure.
With the highly controversial ques-
ton presented by the Allies insist
ence upon Germany's agreement to pay
the fixed indemnities out of the way,
it was indicated that the state de-
partment expected to proceed more
rapidly with the consideration of the
numerous problems connected with the
development of its foreign policy.
