MAID HOLBROOK

Death again visited our neighbor-
hood Thursday evening, March 10,
claiming Mrs Maud Holbrook. Altho
she had been IN poor health for about
a year the cause of her death was
pneumonia of which she had been i'll
about a week. Mrs. Holbrook was the
daughter OF the late Cephus and
Diantha (Black) Jackman and was
born in Scion in 1867, coming to Mad
ison when a small girl. In her early
days she taught school. Twenty-siX
years ago she was married to Cyrus
Holbrook and went to live on the farm
where she passed away. Mr.. Hol-
brook passed away six years ago. last
fall Mrs. Holbrook was large of
soul and true of heart. Earth is
poorer because it has lost her physi-
cal presence and heaven is richer be-
cause she is there. She was a faith
full worker of the Golden Glow
Branch of Sunshine and sent cheer to
many as long as health permitted.
Much sympathy is felt for the sister
Miss Bessie JaCkman who has tender
ly cared for her sister during her poor
health. All the medical aid possible
was ven her but It was hopeless.

Senate Confirms Harvey:
SUnfit,'' Says Harrison
Mississippi Senator Criticizes
New Ambassadors to Britain;
Herrick Also Annroved

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 16.-Appoint-
ment of Colonel George Harvey as Am
bassador to Great Britain was criti-
sized in the Senate to-day by Senator
Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi.
Senator Harrison declared Colonel Har-
vey was unfit" for the appointment.
He spoke in executive session and did
not go into details or amplify his crit
icism. He plans to do so later, how
ever, either in open session of the
Senate or in statement.
The Senate, on roll call, voted to con-
firm Colonel Harvey, al to 20. One
braska, voted against confirmation. The
following six Democrats voted for con-
hrmation:
Ashurst, Kendrick, Myers, Pomerene,
Walsh, of Massachusetts, and Watson,
Of Georgia.
Senator Harrison brought the mat
ter up when the Senate was in open
session, asking unanimous consent to
discuss the nomination of Colonel Har-
vey. Senator Lodge objected.
In addition to confirming Colonel
Harvey, the Senate confirmed Myron T.
Herrick, of Ohio, as Ambassador to
France, without opposition. Other nom
nations confirmed were: Henry P.
Fletcher, of Pennsylvania, special rep
resentative at International Communi-
cations Conference; Hubert Work, of
Colorado, First Assistant Postmaster
General; Edward H. Shaughnessy, of
illinois, Second Assistant Postmaster
General; Charles H. Burke, of South

Britain Urges Negotiations
Before any plan is actually put into
operation many difficulties are ex-
pected to be raised by the British. Al
ready the Paris and London govern
ments are exchanging views on the sub
ject, and Great Britain Is understood
to be urging resumption of the nego-
tiations with the Germans. France de-
mands at least 1,OOOOO0,00 marks in.
gold and further guarantees before any
more conferences are held, while Great
Britain hopes that the Germans fcan
now be induced to accept the Allied
terms drawn up in Paris.
Great Britain wants France to agree
to suspend the further use Of penalties
for the moment if Germany declares
| her submission to the Paris terms,
under which the Allied premiers fixed
the German debt at 100000, 900 gold
marks.
The Germans, meanwhile, in The ne

it is certain they have carried on in
Prague, again talk of an international
loan. They ask particularly that Ger
many should be allowed 100 years to
repay her debts.
1t is also understood that Germany
has suggested the possibility Of giving
France and the other Allied powers a
40 per cent interest in German in
dustries.
France Opposed to Delay
The French, however, prefer to have
no further delay or negotiations, but
to take the action which popular senti-
ment demands. They also are inclined
to the belief that all reparation roads
inevitably lead to the same thing in
the end.
BERLIN, April 16.-The Deutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung in an inspired ar
ticle to-day advises the public not to
expect information on the reparations
question until Parliament has decided
on it.
The Zeitung Ammtftag says it under
stands the government is utilizing the
good Offices Of neutral power to sub
NIT new reparations proposals to the
United States for the latter's opinion,
as the proposals partly consist of an
offer by Germany to assume some of
the Allied debts to the United States.

Polish Diet. This action, which took
place yesterday, completes Poland's en-
gagement to have the convention ap-
proved within thirty days after the
pact was signed, on March 10. The
Bolshevik government ratified it on
March %, but similar action on the
part of Ukraine has not as yet been
reported.
Under the terms of the convention.
Soviet Russia coded to Poland 5000
square kilometers near Minsk, and
Russia and Ukraine turned over to
Poland the district of Polesia, on the
Ukrainian frontier. Russia and
Ukraine agreed to pay to Poland within
year following ratification of the
treaty 100000 gold rubles, and to
release Poland from being liable for
any share of the debts of the former
Russian Empire. Amnesty for politi-
cal crimes was provided for, and all
parties agreed to abstain from propa
ganda against each other
The vote Of the Diet in ratifying the
treaty was unanimous. Two of the
Jewish members abstained from voting
RS protest against what they contend
ed was failure of the treaty properly
to provide for the repatriation of Polish
citizens now in Russia, of which MANY
are Jews.
1t was announced that the negotia-
ton of a. commercial agreement be-
tween Poland and Soviet Russia would
be begun shortly.
