nTHE SKYWAYMAN" AT THE
REX THEATER TODAY ONLY

Ten per cent of all the profits from
the exhibition of 1.-The Skywayman,'
Lit. Ormer Locklear's last picture,
William Fox production which is to
be shown at the Rex theater today is
to be given to the families OF Lock
lear and his pilot, 1t. Milton Elliott,
by Fox Film Corporation.
A crusader for science, Lit. LOCK-
lear has appealed to the Imagination
as no other airnlan has done. He
will live in history as the first flyer
to 20 from one airplane to another
in mid-air-a feat which first thrill
ed the world and then opened the
ewes of scientists and experts to the
new possibilities of aircraft. So high
w were his experiments appreciated
that the United States army gave
him the free use Of its flying fields.
1.-THE Skywayman' lis more than a
thrilling picture. It contains rec
ord of all that Locklear has done. 1t
will show future generations what
manner of man was this young
American air explorer who taught
the world SO much. In the story
Locklear plays the part OF a member
Of the Lafayette Escadrille who loses
his memory as the result Of a crash
in France, and then, on his return
to America fails to recognize his old
friends. His plight leads him into
a series of adventures which call forth
all his aeronautic skill. .a-.s 49,.
A race with an express train,
collision with a church steeple and
a dozen, other daring exploits are
brought out with startling realism
The photography is said to be excel
lent. There are some 'close-ups' of
Locklear taken thousands OF feet
above the earth. FIJI.

Berlin Declares Proposals Are lntrl-

Offer 200 Billion Marks as
Against 226 Billion.

Berlin.-The ultimate total indem.
nifty which Germany agrees to pay the
allies is 0,0O0.O0O, 600 gold marks,
against 226,OOO,O00,0OO demanded by
the allies in their Paris terms. This
is positively stated by those close to
the government, although the German
counter-proposals have not been made
public here.
Dr. Simons, foreign secretary, did
not present the new proposals to the
Reichstag today, for the reason that
there is a paragraph in the note to
President Harding suggesting that he
feel free TO query back for further
information on any point not clear, be-
fore submitting the note TO the en-
tente
The Germans suggest making the
annuities in the payment Of the repa-
rations flexible, dependent upon the
recovery Of German industries. An
international loan is suggested, to be
floated Immediately, for the purpose
Of placing ready cash at the disposal
Of the entente, but no sum is named.
Germany expresses her willingness
to pledge the customs revenues as
guarantees, and further offers TO de-
liver manufactured articles TO the al
lies with the understanding that Ger
many will pay the producers and get
credit ON the indemnities Germany
also offers immediate participation in
the work Of restoration in the deyas-
tated areas; labor and materials to be
supplied by Germany and credited
against the indemnities.
No suggestion is made of Germany's
willingness to assume the indebted
ness Of the allied powers to the United
States.
Germanys counter-proposals are so
intricate and involved that the ex-
perts who have read them express the
opinion that they may be mlsinter-
preted, as the London offer was, by
persons who did not analyze them
carefully and work out the total
amount that would have been yielded.
