THE DEMANDS OF THE ALLIES.

The demands made upon Germany
by the Allies have not been accepted
by one cabinet and 1t has been accept
ed by another hastily formed body,
which seems not us yet to have en,er
ed upon its actual career Of existence
Some of the antagOnistic German PA.
rers declare it to be only "a scrap OF

designation Of the document signed
and sealed by the presen: Government.
The Allies have demanded some thir.
ty billion dollars. This is all right, NJ
though tho Germans declare their in
ability to pay any such sums.
Then came Il demand for the pun

Taking gun away from man,

The question now is as to whether
the present German Government has
an army to be disarmed.
We hope that we shall live long

were attributed to Shaw by Richard A..
Kelley tho agent who was in charge
Of the raidirg party. Shaw told him
he said, the brews obtained from diff
erent kinds OF mash were discussed
among his social acquaintance and
that there was much rivalry among
them to see who, could produce the
beat liquor. Arguments will be com
pleted tomorrow.
This HARVARD professor was making
this liquor for his own use and not
for sale. This presents an interesting
question. 1t will he a long time before
