GIVE TOWARD
SCHOOL FUND

Mexico Presbyterians came to the
front Sunday by subscribing in a day
almost the entire quota set for the
city in the s500,O00 Educational Cam
paign which their church is conduct
ing.
Exact figures show the total amount
subscribed as $13,040, most of which
was given voluntarily. The quota for
the town is $4,000 and workers ex-
pect that this sum would be oversub-
scribed Monday.
The most enthusiastic supporters
believe the amount given when all
those interested have contributed will
exceed $4,000 and it is hoped that
this figure can be reached as the
cause is most worthy one.
Four schools are to receive the
benefit of increased endowments and
new equipment when the campaign
closes. They include: Westminster
and Synodical Colleges at Fulton, the
School of the 0zarks in the Shepherd
of The Hills" country at Hollister,
and The Presbyterian Theological
Seminary at Louisville, Kentucky.
Presbyterians everywhere hope for
the larger development of these
schools and their giving is ample evi-
dence, not only of their support, but
of their approval of the type of man
and woman these schools are grad
uating.

u. S. REFUSES
GERMAN PLEA
TO INTERVENE.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Ger-
many's urgent request that the United
States government mediate the repair
alton questions between Berlin and
the allies and fix the sum Germany
must pay has been refused.
The United States agreed, however,
that if the German Government would
formulate promptly such proposals
regarding reparations "as would pres
ent proper basis for discussion it
would consider bringing the matter
to the attention of the allied govern
ments in manner acceptable to them
in order that negotiations may speed
lily be resumed"
The unusual thing about Germany's
appeal wa sthat it was directed to the
head of a nation the country was at
war with. This was the second COM
munication from Germany addressed
to the United States dealing with the
reparations.
