That the German Proposals Are
Absolutely impossible of Accept
ance by the Powers.

London, Dec. 1.-THE German pro-
posal for a Encouragement of terms
for the payment of Preparations was
rejected by the London conference Of
the premierS of Great Britain, France,
Italy, and Belgium here.
Breaks Wall of Secrecy.
This information was given out by
Premier Mussolini, the Italian FaScis-
I'll leader, who broke through the care
fully built wall of secrecy. After the
conference, Premier Mussolini re-
ceived correspondents from all over
the world and declared the German
proposals were absolutely impossible
of acceptance and all members of the
conference had agreed on this view.
He declared definite rejection will
be sent to Germany.
Premier Mussolini declared the
whole tone of the conference was very
cordial and all the members agreed
that the question of interallied debts
and reparationS were inseparable. If
Preparations were not paid by Germany,
debts also must be unpaid.
american Debts Out of It,"
In reply to a question concerning
debts owed America he said: Amer
lea is out of it." He stated he had
offered q memorandum of definite.
concrete proposals for payment by
Germany, which Premier Poincare
said was interesting and worthy Of
examination. Premier Mussolini re-
fused to outline these proposals, but
he said they included only economic
and not military sanctions.
In conclusion he said if the London
conference was successful, as seemed
likely, there would not be any need Of
"a Brussels conference, except a gath
ering of experts to arrange few de-
tails.

Monkey Teacher Resigned

Professor Shaver, head of the
 Department of Bible and Relig-
 iOus training in Hendrix College,
 who attacked w. J. Bryan for opposing Darwin's theory that man sprang from the monkey family. and discredited the divine inspiration of the bible in an ad- dress before Religious Education Association at Chicago recently, has been forced by the storm of protest his remarks aroused to resign. In his resignation he put up that overworked cry of the. shady politician, that he was
 misquoted." "
 The spotlight of criticism should be thrown on the president and other officials of the college. and we are sure that there would be a general cleaning up in that in- stitution. President Reynolds statement in announcing the re- signation of Dr. Shaver shows that his skepticism was known to the college authorities still he was retained to teach the stud ents the bible till the news papers misquoted" him and the publicity he got was likely to
 injure the college. " The in- jury to the students was not con- sldered. but parents who send their sons there to be educated under christian teachers would send them to other schools, and the flow of money contributed by loyal Methodists to build up a christian college would stop, and that was the injury to the col lege' they feared: for the dollar is the god Hendrix college War- ships
 President Reynolds statement follows:
 Recently some question has been raised privately touching the soundnesS of the teachings of Professor Shaver. He was in- formed of this questioning and he knew he was mis- quoted in the papers and misquot- ed by some of the constituents of the college. he voluntarily of fered his resignation rather than let the college suffer through mis- understanding. Throughout his work he has shown the finest spirit and true devotion to the college. v
 He does not say word about the soundneSs of his doctrine. We plead guilty to publishing his statement about the bible and and we believe that the Professor is the one that made a monkey out of himself" instead of Bryan, as the learned professor said in that famous Chicago speech.

The "EvOIutioniStS' AgaIn |

MT. Bryan once annoyed them
 because he was too forward, now
 he makes them Writhe because,
 they say. he is too backward.
 lie IS against the teaching of
 evolution" in the schools: by
 eVol utlon' he means, of course, the doctrine that mankind re- presents an ascent from the
 brute order; that Is practically
 what everybody means by "evoIu- tion.'
 Of course. no one who has kept step with science teaches that with confidence any more. No good scientist could teach 1t,
 because no one knows that 1t IS
 true. No one ever did know 1t to be true. The idea of develop ment was a great idea, a very great idea, but. as applied to the development of mans body and mlnd from a lower beStial body and mind. 1t has never been even full-fledged hypothesis. It's status has been that of a very exciting piece of imagination. And presently 1t became matter ot temper: if you were against the more sober forces of life, you were for evolution" if you were q conservative. you were against 1t. Of late, however. when you touch evolution. you Jar the most conservative and reactIonary circles. This temper had nothing whatever to do with science, and it has precious little even yet. 1t is very significant that the most viruIent of Mr. Bryan $ antagonists are represen- ted by the so-called liberal" sectarian press and pulpit, who have not yet heard from the really progressive scientists that DarWlmsm IS dead. A few SchoIsrs-or. rather professors have contended right historically for the liberty to teach the
 assured results of science" in the classes. but they need to be told, as kindly as possible, to get revised editions of the textbooks from which they prepare lectures.
 There would be no controversy today between Mir. Bryan and critics if the destructive aspects of scientists (not Scientiic) speculation were not so alluring to a certain sensation loving sec ton of the country.
 Science is the most conservative department of life. It proceeds upon imagination and research. but 1t only declares upon facts. The popular mind always catches the imaginative aspect of the scientists daily work, and as a rule totally ignores his solidifind- I ings. There are people who still talk haziiy of the millions of ! years' in which man has been on earth. though it is improbable . that the most behlndhand SC ence- lobber would say anything of | the kind The psychozoic era, that Is. the age of reason, the time during which civilized man appeared, is estimated as being less than 30,000 years. Which IS very different from millions and millions" of years.
 It IS quite noticeable that in the which Mir. Bryan has caused, scientists are silent. They cannot talk half confident ly as can the Commoner and the
 evolutionists."
