ways and means to meet the impera-
tive demands for increased accom-
modations for boys, various plans
were discussed at length with the
bishop OF the diocese, and finally the
decision was reached to take over
the Richmond buildings for educa-
tional work Of high grade among
tow plant to the training of boys.
The high school. chartered under
the laws of Virginia, is affiliated with
the Catholic University of America. of
which many of the sisters are grad
yates. Connected with the high

music.

ture be known as st. Benedict
Convent. the motherhouse of the

GERMANS DISCUSS
SPURN|NG PARLEY
Latest Reparations Terms
Stir Bitter Opposition to
Genoa Participation.
By GEORGE WHITE,

by Wireless to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1872.
BERLIN. March 24-"Can Germany
so to the Genoa conference under the
terms Of the latest reparations note?"
That is the question which the pub
lie and the newspapers ask today
while Chancellor wfrth and Foreign
Secretary Rathenau are discussing de-
velopments with President Ebert.
Several of the political parties are in
favor of rejecting the invitation in
order to show the allies and also the
United States that Germany will not
under any conditions comply with the
demand Of the reparations commits
sion that she must raise 10000, ,000, 900
gold marks (s14.2so,ooo} more in
taxes than had been originally
planned and proposed to the supreme
council in reply to the request of the
Cannes conference.
Blame Wirth Cabinet.
The nationalists charge the Wirth
cabinet with. having gone too far in
trying to please the former enemies
and to meet the London newspapers
are particularly outspoken in their
criticism Of the government, and they
demand that the chancellor hand in
his resignation.
What is the use of going to Genoa
at all now that we know what our
enemies want?' one Of them asks.
by going there Chancellor Wirth
will only make assertions that will
lead the allies to believe that we arc
better off than We claim to be, and
that we can pay far more toward
reparations than We are supposed to
pay. Germany at last must assert
herself and prove to the world that
nothing is left Of the once great en-
pire but skin and bones. the allies
strength out Of her. This time Ger
many must say No and stick to her
word to the bitter end. no matter
whether the French occupy the Ruhr
district, or the whole of the country.
SO far as that is concerned. The
German people will not stand for the
government again yielding at the last
minute"
Labor Papers Score Demands.
Even the labor papers. with the
exception of the communist paper. the
Rothe Fahne, are unanimous in con-
demning the new allied demands as
outrageous and as exceeding all rea-
sonable limits. These newspapers
point out that the last ten weeks the
cost of living has gone up Is per
cent as the result of the high taxes
caused by the allied reparations de-
mands and that nine-tenths of the
German people would suffer tremen-
dous hardships If new taxes. were
levied by the government to meet the
fresh demands of the allies The Ger
man people feel that the new blow,
coming as it did just before the
Genoa conference. is far worse than
anything yet experienced. and that it
robs them Of the hope that conditions
would improve this year.

WAR RoBs THREE OF MEMORY
Trio Among Most Unusual Gases on
Record At Veterans Bureau
In Washington.

Three men who have lost them
selves and whose memory does not
extend back to the war where they
received injury, are among the most
unusual cases on record at the Vet
erans' bureau In Washington, D. c.,
among the long list Of war victims.
The American Legion is endeavoring
to assist the unfortunate ex-service
men In finding their relatives.
Hayward Thompson-at least that
Is what he is now called-Is one Of
the most peculiar cases. He has for
gotten who he is. In his head Is an
ugly shrapnel wound. His memory
goes back to January %, 1922, when
he arrived at hotel in Denver, with
a bill in his pocket from one of the
most expensive hotels In Colorado
Springs. His memory, he now believes,
lapsed somewhere, either far back
In France or on the trip between Colo
RADIO Springs and Denver. Thompson
remembers having had $1,000 in his
pocket and access to many thousands
more.
In searching Washington records for
sope trace Of the lost man, 1t was
found that a certain Hayward Thomp.
son enlisted in the Marine corps June
8. 1918, and was discharged January
6, 1910. He had q wife and three
children at Pennington, Mo-. and
mother, Mrs. Louise Thompson. at
Chicago. The man with a shrapnel
wound In his head and no memory Of
any relatives at all, telegraphed In
great eagerness to Flemington, No.,
and to Chicago. He received no
answer.
Not so long ago . clean-cut young
man appeared at a Los Angeles hospI-
tai. He wore an American Legion
button. When questioned as to who
he was he stated he did not know.
II think / am thirty-two years DID,"
he said. II am FIVE feet. nine inches
and weigh $50 pounds. My eyes are
gray and l have blond hair. ! be-
lieve was a soldier. II any one can
tell me who am. or anything about
my past, please let me know" The
Los Angeles post Of the Legion Is max.
Ing every effort to help the man find
himself.
A third unidentified living lives
at 735 North Thirty-first street, Louis
Vile. He Is known as Leonard Wells,
to the nelghborhood. His memory is
hazy. He believes that he enlisted
In the old First Kentucky infantry,
and with the command was transferred
to a replacement detachment and sent
to France. His photograph was for
warded to his company commander,
who recognized the face but did not
recall a name. A machine gun bullet
had pierced his abdomen and injured
his spine. Another had injured the
left shoulder cap. No compensation
or insurance can be awarded to this
man, the Veterans bureau regrets, un-
til his Identity can be established.
France, 1t is said, has six Of these
unidentified living ex-service men.
Great Britain has a few. These lost
souls who cannot find their memories,
and who know they cannot, present
spectacle unique and pathetic. They
are lost and know It.
