WASHINGTON, April 2s.-Diplo-
matte representatives Of three of the
allied powers-Great Britain. France
and Belgium. transmitted Thursday
to Sec'y Hughes the views of their
governments with respect 10 Ger
many's reparations proposals.
Official announcement was with
held, but it was understood that the
secretary OF state was informed
that the German offer in its present
form was unacceptable Whether
any suggestions were made that
Germany be asked to put forward
new and more liberal terms was not
disclosed.
1t was emphasized officially. how
ever, that the chief question at issue
was not whether the proposals as
such were acceptable to the allied
governments, but whether they could
be regarded as the basis for renewed
discussions from which satisfactory
terms might eventuate.
Maintain Silence.
Administration officers still main
tanned silence as TO the form OF re-
ply that would be made to the Ger
man communication, but il was
learned that none had been prepar-
ed Thursday night. Sec'y Hughes
had not yet heard from the italian
and Japanese governments, whose
ENJOYS he received on Tuesday after
the German proposals had reached
Washington. Whether a reply will
be delayed until word comes from
Rome and Toxic remains TO be de-
veloped.
Since the German offer is to be
considered at the meet Of the allied
supreme council on Saturday. there
were suggestions in some quarters
that the America reply might be
held up pending some further de-
cison by the premiers. While ad-

THAT is A LIE.

What happened at the council
Monday night was that the coun-
ell. performing its duty. voted TO
submit the City Manager plan TO
the people.
The process follows:
Upwards OF 1900 people had
petitioned the council TO submit
the question as 10 whether or not
that plan should be adopted.
Clerk Bilinski reported to the
council that at least 2,236 Of that
number are voters; perhaps more
of them.
That number is more than %
per cent OF the number OF votes
cast at the last city election.
Therefore the council was re-
quired-literally compelled by
law 20 call the election peu-
toned for-which was set for
June 25th.

Value of Small Birds.

The great majority of birds which
inhabit our fields and orchards are
highly beneficial. Thus SO per cent of
the food of the phoebe consists OF in
sects, chiefly of injuries species. OF
the food of the meadow lark 70 per
cent consists of insects. The native
sparrow, that is, all species, with
the exception of that imported pest,
the house sparrow, are very valuable
not only by reason of their insect
eating proclivities, but also because
they destroy an immense amount OF
weed seed. The American gold finch
consumes great quantities OF thistle
seed. The swallows are ceaselessly &C
tive from daylight till dark gathering
in flying insects of various species,
including many species which are SER
ious pests. The vireos and the war
blers search each Naf and twig for
the minute lice and the eggs of other
kinds of insects. The nuthatches and
the brown creepers explore the Gre
vices in the bark and extract hibernat-
ing insects and their eggs. The
chickadee is also a diligent seeker af-
ter small insects and eggs and one
chickadee has been found to eat 1,O23
eggs of the cankerworm in one day

Wealth..

Rudyard Kipling. Sooner or later
you will see some man to whom the
idea of wealth, as mere wealth, does
not appeal, whom the method of
amassing wealth do not interest, and
who will not accept money if you offer
it to him at certain price. At first
you will be inclined to laugh at that
man, and think that he is not smart
in his ideas. l suggest you watch him
closely, for he will presently demon
strate to you that money dominates
everybody except the man who does
not want money.
You may meet the man anywhere,
but be sure that whenever or where
ever you meet him, as soon as it comes
to a direct issue between you, his lit
tie finger will be thicker than your
loins. You will find that you have no
weapon in your armory with which
you attack him. If more wealth is
necessary to you, for purpose not your
own, use your left hand to acquire it,,
but keep your right hand for the prop
er work in life. If your right hand
for the proper work in life. If you
employ both arms in that game you
will be in danger of STOPPING.

Come If You Dare!

The crude, coarse men folks Of this
town have seen fit to arrange base
ball smoker at the armory for next
Tuesday evening, April 26. On their
posters they brazenly state that these
doings are ''for men only" Ye gods!
Have they forgotten that the 10th
amendment has been in force for near
~ a year? Can you build up a sue
cessful ball team without the aid and
support of the fair sex? Are they go
ing to stand for this unfair discrimi-
nation? The answer is that on the
same evening the lady fans are going
to put on doings of their own that
will make this "he smoker" look like
a Sunday school picnic in comparison.
Men are not absolutely prohibited
from coming but they are warned in
advance that it will be no safe place
for them to congregate. The festivi-
ties begin promptly at p. m. at the
Odd Fellows hall. A small fee will
be charged, so bring all the small
change you can fitch from 'hubby's
pockets the night before. Princeton

considerations go, is fairly shown by
it's acceptance in the case of animals
But the physical side plays such q
small part in human death. It is chief
ly the terrors of the mind, of anticipa-
ton, that prey upon the condemned
criminal. His actual taking off is the
least of his tortures. Now, theoreti-
cally, it might seem as if the lethal
chamber might reduce this element of
dread. To die in ones sleep is the
ideal death in popular imagination.
But theory has very little to do with
such subtle psychology. Experience
may >rove that no torture is more ex-
quisite than the doubt which a con-
,demned criminal in Nevada must now
face-of never knowing which sleep is
to be the last.
4 So far as the feelings Of the public
are concerned there seems an equal
misconception. Each change in the
manner of execution renews the prob
lem and picture in our minds and nec-
essitates a fresh review of painful de-
tails. With the best of intentions, it
seems probable that the modern sensi-
tiveness upon the subject and the con-
tinued effort to make death by the
state as humane as possible have only
served to harrow the public's nerves,
with little or no gain to the criminal.

Reception.

n The worlds need is for minds which
Forever keep their windows open to-
ward Tomorrow; which reach out, like
the over for the sun. In such minds
lightning became electricity; steam
became transportation; freedom be-
came democracy.
All advancement is the result of
mental reception. There are flood
tides in reception. For five years the
nations Of the earth had their habits,
beliefs, ideals, and authorities over
whelmed. Age-long convictions were
shattered. Mems minds staggered
under the shock of the constant accom-
plishment of the proclaimed impossi-
BILE.
Because Of this upheaval the world
is now being swept with waves of
mental activity. Proof of this exists
all about us. It is seen in the opera
ton of business. It is strikingly
found in that commercial force which
gains its momentum through appeal
to both the mind and the emotions
advertising.
Advertising has dug a channel
through the national consciousness.
This fact is important to the whole of
society.
Stability Of social life is, in this
industrial era, dependent upon stabili-
ty in industry; and there is undeniable
evidence that strength and growth
have been given industry by advertis-
ing.
Advertising has carried an under
standing of industry into the homes
of the consumers. 1t has induced so
strong a flow of standard wares as to
make advertised goods preferred in
vestment for the merchant.
Like many truly great forces. there
is no mystery about advertising; but
there is much of common sense.

Carving Turkey.

Christian Science Monitor: Those
who were in hopes that Turkey might
take herself "bag and baggage out of
everything" and have seen setback
to their hopes in the Sevres revision,
can cheer up bit by looking at the
map. The chart of the Ottoman EN-
pire as it has existed since 1858 pre-
sents, indeed, a hopeful sight. The
empire slowly and surely has been 60
ing back to first things. The crum-
bling began in 1899, when Transyl-
vania, Slovakia, and a chunk of Po-
land and Hungary were lost. The
Banat went in 1918; the Bukowina in
1775; the Taurida and the Crimea in
1888; and the Odessa district in 1892.
The next century was even more dis
astrous for Turkey, who lost Bessara-
bia in 1872; part of Serbia in 1917;
Georgia and Greece in 1929; Algeria
in 1880; Bulgaria in 1876; Northern
Armenia, Roumania, and more of
Serbia in 1878; Tunisia and some of
Greece in 1881, and Egypt in 1882
Nor has the present century been be-
hind its predecessor. Libya was a
great loss in 1912, following the an
nexation by Austria in 1908 of Bosnia
and herzegovina; 1913 proved particu-
larly unfortunate for the Turks in the
Balkans. and last year there slipped
from their grasp the Hedjaz, Mesopo-
tamia, Syria, Palestine, the strips
along the Persian Gulf, Smyrna, and
some Of Armenia. 1t is tale of con-
sistent disaster.
