Proposals Of Germany
Still Are insufficient

Continued From Page One.)
whereas the total with interest fixed
by the allies is S56,000000,000.
Would Eliminate Force.
On the other hand, the German
counter proposals would wipe out
practically all the means of enforcing
payment of the reparations which
were incorporated in the Versailles
treaty. Germany would promise to
pay, but there could be no occupa-
ton of German territory and other
forceful measures to collect the dues.
In his note to Germany, Mr..
Hughes said that if the Germans
would submit proposals that would
constitute a proper basis of discus
sion, the United States would con-
slider the transmission of the propo-
sition to the allies "in manner ac-
ceptatle to them" Mr.. Hughes would
not say today whether he considers
the Berlin reply a proper basis Of
discussion, but it is clear he deemed
himself warranted in sounding the
allied powers as to their attitude
thereto. ...
1t is taken for granted that the
allied attitude would be one of the
considerations in determining whether
the snote constitutes a proper basis
Of discussion, for unless the allies
were willing to receive the proposals
there could be no discussion. Like
wise, whatever his personal opinion,
Mr.. Hughes would not transmit the
note unless the allies were willing to
receive it.
Anxious for Settlement.
It is evident that Germany is be-
ginning to make concessions i'll the
hope of averting consummation of
the French and British plans to seize
additional German territory on May
/. Announcement that the British
stand with the French in invoking
further forceful measures if Germany
does not comply with the reparations
terms on that date is believed to have
quickened the Germans to an eleventh.
hour effort to get new settlement.
Germany indicates that further
concessions may be expected by re-
questing that the United States make
suggestions as to terms if the propo-
sails in the note are found unaccept-
able. 1t is possible that Mr.. Hughes,
therefore, will cause the Germans to
make still further concessions in the
effort to find basis for reopening
of the negotiations.

No steps to climb.
No floors to scrub.
No windows to wash.
No walls to paper.
"Oh, boy, that's the life!' chimed
in unison the family of Mr.. and Mrs.
c. M. Bilger on the first day. they
moved in their new home-a tent at
43lS Corby street.
The envy OF all the neighbors and
occupants of congested apartments,
Mr.. and Mrs. Bilger have mad, a
little home beneath the canvas for
their family of four children.
Unable to find vacant house any
where in the city to meet their means,
Mrs. Bilger modestfy suggested liv-
ing in tent.
Investment Is $50. ....
The outlay for canvas, poles, floor
ing and muslin for partitions inside
was $50, Mr.. bigger said.
"And then why should we pay so
a month rent for house when liv-
ing in a tent is healthier and real
fun?'' declared Mrs. bigger.
The tent is modern except for
running water ard gas. Oil burners
furnish heat in case of chilly weather.
The little home has three bed
rooms, partitioned off by hanging
muslin, main reading room, a
kitchen and a back porch.
1t has electricity and telephone.
Like Roughing It.
"Oh, it's just like roughing it."
Mr.. Bilger said. And it certainly
beats a house in many ways. Sleep!
There's no better tonic for sleep in
the world"
The tent is stro - enough to with
stand heavy wind storm, Mr.. Bill
ger said
Th. family intends to live ia the
tent for the next five months after
which they may rent house tor
the winter or move to Oregon.
Rent of vacant lot for their
tent home is very little, Mr.. Bilger
said.
The innovation of living in tent
portends to start fad in Omaha
to defeat the high cost of rents.
"Of course you've got to swal-
low little pride at first" said Mr..
Bilger. "But it's certainly worth
it. Now, neighbors envy us"
Mr.. bigger is a painter and dec
orator.

where he introduced the subject.
1.-THE highest wisdom is never devoid
of common sense, and is always sup
ported by sound reasoning guided by
the light of successive revelation. Eff
forts must be made beyond church cir
cles to counterfeit the agnostic, ra-
tionalistic, and atheistic philosophy Of
university life and the insinuations of
writer's who presume to settle all
questions of philosophy out of hand.
Catholic learning must never make
peace with present day conditions in
university and literary life. / have
no idea what sum we must set aside
to give Catholic layman the highest
education at the greatest centers of
learning. Possibly fifty thousand dol
lars will suffice. But Catholic lay
man with such a traininsg will exer-
else great influence in the learned
world, either in university life, or in
the professions" Already $4,000 has
been subscribed, the donor of which
wishes his name withheld.
And really isn't it about time that
the Catholic laity should think serious
ly about the highest type of Christian
education? Hitherto they have con-
tented themselves, or been contented
in the case of their children, with a
commercial education, or in too many
cases they have taken, often at great
risk, what they could get at secular
universities. Why shouldn't they aim
at studying at the very best universe
ties, and prepare. themselves to be
leaders in thought? The advantage is
on their side if they only choose to
avail themselves of the opportunities
within their reach. This scholarship
will be open to the poorest boy. The
advice of the Catholic University,
Washington, will be sought in deter
mining what university or universities
offer the amplest opportunities, and
also in determining the subjects to be
studied
If the Right Reverend Bishops wish
is followed, attention will first be Civ
en- to biology If biology is to con-
tinue to he divorced from Catholic
philosophy and theology, the Bishop
declares he is nervous as to the re-
suits
If within the next fifty years Du-
luth, through the scholarship, can
train half dozen Catholic laymen to
be the highest and best type of schol-
ars and thinkers, it will have con-
ferred an inestimable boon not only on
Minnesota, but on the whole United
States. The need for such men is
urgent. The world cries out loudly
today for laymen versed in sound
philosophy who will be towering fig
ures in the intellectual world.

church and paying for it during the

are soon to have pastor of their
own.

not been behind in the forward move
ment of all the parishes of this vicini-
ty was the assurance of the Bishop
who called here last week. He was
accompanied by Father Klein. Rev.
Joseph A. Norman is the beloved pas
tor who, since his arrival last Au-
gust, has erected parsonage which
would do credit to much older and
richer congregation.

group. Each applicant, claiming to be
without funds, will be investigated
and the facts relating to that partic'
ular case recorded. Anyone, however
applying to the soup kitchens for
food, will be admitted without ques.
ton for the first three days pending
investigation. Children under three
years of age will be given special
attention at the canteens. Medical
attention, as well as food relief, will
be part of the program.
In order to avoid every possibility
of partisanship, political or religious,
an American representative of the
Committee will be stationed in each
Irish county. This representative will
supervise the work of distribution.
No money or funds will be distributed
in Ireland by the clergy except in SO
far as the money is allotted to them
through the Americans who are on

Honor the Graves Of Our
Fallen Catholic Heroes
A GRAVE IN FRANCE.
BY Daniel {. Doran.

There is little grave that lies within
a field in France.
Within little field in France that
once was green and gay,
Where soft and sweet the grasses
grew, where children played per-
chance,
And idle bees were wont to drone
upon a summers day.
There is little grave that lies with
in field in France,
A little grave that holds the dust of
one SO brave and fair,
Who smiled and babe farewell to
youth and beauty and romance.
Who followed Duty's sounding pines
and found death waiting there.
Now he shall come no more to walk
beside the ocean blue,
The joyous throngs at Christmastide
shall miss his merry cry,
No more shall mark the harbor's lip
when sails come straining
through,
NO more shall trace the sea-gull's
flight against the autumn sky.
All, France, we do not envy you the
things that conflict brought,
The days of bitter agonies, the nights
of haunting fears,
And all the wreck and carnage that
the hosts of battle wrought,
And all the depths of women's woes
and all the children's tears.
All, France, we do not envy you the
sorrow and the rue,
The shattered home, the plundered
shrine, the desecrated nave,
But we shall envy you the dust of he
roes brave and true
And help to bless the sacred soil that
holds each soldiers grave.
