GERMANS AGAIN REFUSE
TO YIELD INDEMNITY

PARIS, April 30.-3ermany again
defied the allies on indemnity today.
The Allied Preparations Commission
received a note from Berlin In which
Germany made a final refusal to pay
1000, 100000 gold marks which the
Allies had demanded by March 20. The
1000, 900, 900 gold marks are a part of
the 12,oo0,0o0.o00 gold marks the Al

The Reparations Commission has
formally notified Germany that there
Is a difference of 1900, ,000, 900 gold
marks between the amount the allies
claimed due by May /. and the
amount Germany paid. Germany
also was informed that the sum of

LLOYD GEORGE SUGGESTS
ULTIMATUM TO GERMANS

LONDON, April 3O.-At a conference
Of the British and French prime min
listers a few hours before the opening
of the supreme council meeting today,
Premier Lloyd George suggested that
an ultimatum be sent to Germany
giving her one week to make new
indemnity proposals before the allies
move troops into the Ruhr district,
| 1t was learned this afternoon
The conference was held at Lloyd
Georges official residence, 10 Down
ing street, just before noon.
Premier BRAND was accompanled ed
French foreign office.
Lord D'Abernon, British ambassa-
dor to Germany, attended the confer
cnce and presented further informa-
ton regarding the German indemnity
proposals.
At the conclusion OF the Downing
street conference Premier BRAND
said: I'VE have arranged program
for the Supreme Council. which meets
at o'clock, to force the issue upon
Germany"
The International News Service was
authorized to say that the following
Is the position of Italy:
Count Sforza (the Italian foreign
minister) holds the opinion that the
occupation of the Ruhr is a leap in
the dark. and that it might lead to
disastrous economic consequences
The British and Italian views are
similar. Italy and Great Britain
support France, yet they want to ex-
plore every possibility before taking
drastic and doubtful action"
Although there is absolute unity
and accord among the allies, French
influence is expected to dominate the
meeting OF the Supreme Council,
which Is to determine definitely
whether or not the German Ruhr
district is to be occupied to compel
Germany to meet her indemnit obli-
cations and whether other military
penalties are to be put into effect by
Marshal Foch.
The present meeting OF the Supreme
Council Is a momentous event, not
only for Germany, but for the allies
as well. The first session of the
council was scheduled to open at 3
o'clock this Afternoon but 1t was be-
lieved that the all important subject
of indemnity would not be taken up
until Sunday.

that Secretary of Commerce Hoover

RASMUSSEN TO STUDY ESKIMO
Danish Explorers Ambition Is Said to Be to Make Thorough Study of
 the Northern Race.

The remarkable studies carried out by the Danish explorer, Knud Rasmus- sen. among the Greenland EskimOs are described by w. E. Ekblaw in the Geographical Review. Rasmussen. who is part Eskimo himself, was born and trained in languages and eth nulOgy at the University of COpen- hagen.
 It is his ambition to make thor ough study of the whole Eskimo race from eastern Greenland to Siberia ana he has already visited every Eskimo settlement in Greenland. It is said that he knows every Greenland Eskl- mo personally. MT. Ekblaw believes if safe to say that no one else has ever come into such direct contact with a whole people as he has.
 Late in 1919 he returned from visit to Ammassalik. on the east coast. He was surprised to find that the east. Greenland sEskimOs preserve many or inc customs of the central Eskimos' who still inhabit the ancestral home of the race about Hudson bay. He found that they. are more closely re- lated to the central Eskimos than are any of the other tribes of the entire Greenland coast, and that only recent ly have they been affected by contrast with the Greenland west coast culture.

Youno Author Falls Down.

A young author sends me the manu- script of a story. He claims he has new idea. His thew idea" is this: A young man and woman are married in the usual way, and, during their hon. eymOon, love each other with great devotion.
 But in a year the young man finds he has tired of his wife, from seeing her so much; from too close associ- ation. He supposes, of course. that she has not tired of him; such a pos sibillty does not enter his mind. How ever. he resolves to be square man and confess to his wife just how he feels. She also talks frankly, and it develops that the wife is as tired of the husband as the husband is of the wife.
 I am compelled to report to the young author that this is no develop ment of a new fact in life.-E. w. HOwe's Monthly.
