Five Million Questionnaires to Be Used
In Obtaining Views on Compen-
sation Drive.

A nationwide census of ex-service
men will be taken by the American
Legion. Five million Questionnaires
have been printed for use in the Lee
gion's service and compensation"
drive, which will aim toward the com
pilation of vital statistics and which
should afford a definite indication of
the exact cost Of providing compensa-
ton to all veterans.
The various state organizations of
the Legion will conduct their drives
separately, and at their own date.
Every man interviewed by the census
taker will be informed of the five CD
tions of the pending compensation bill
and be asked to signify his attitude
toward the measure and his choice of
the five features. He will also record
whether he was ever wounded, gassed.
or suffered an injury in service. As
sistance will be provided In filing COM
pensation claims, and all ex-soldiers
Will be urged to carry government In
surance.
The Legion's plan for a rotating loan
fund will be explained, and every man
interviewed will be asked whether he
would be willing to turn over his com.
pensation toward such a fund for the
relief OF needy service men.

Bruce Z. Cox, a thirteen year-old
boy scout of Detroit, woke up one
morning to find his beloved bicycle
missing. a scout knows how to track

the police of the theft, young Cox set
out to recover the property. He found
the track of the wheel in the moist
earth near the garage. Found also

disappeared in the alley. Deduction

person began to ride the wheel For
two blocks the amateur Sherlock
Holmes traced the bicycle tracks. At
the door of the private garage the
tracks stopped. Inquiry of the owner:

rage" why, yes" was the answer.
Yesterday a d. P. w. workman asked
if he could store some tools here and
today he left bicycle" 1t was easy
enough to prove the real owners claim

for the thief, but Bruce doesn't care
whether they find him or not. He has

GERMANS HAVE
. ACCEPTED / SAYS
F.. BERLIN REPORT
Fear Held That Acceptance
of Preparations Terms is
!. For Discussion.
Commission: Takes Stand
That This Constitutes
"Last Word"
(By The. Associated Press.)


Paris. May 27.-Reports from Ber-1
lin that the German government hsd
accepted the allied reparations prop
osiions were qualified by fears in
reparation circles that the PROPOSE
tions had been accepted only as
basis for discussion, while the deter
mination of the commission is that
they constituted the last word. 80.
The position of the commission is
that if the propositions are not ac-
cepted entirely, the discussion will be
closed and the entire preparations ques-
ton turned over to the allied govern
ments.
The crucial point in the negotiations
Is the question Of paper money. the
finance minister, Hermes, agreed
with the commission that no more
paper be issued for internal require
ments and that for exterior payments,
including reparations, only part
might be raised in this way, in case
of necessity, and only for the ensu-
ing year, in the proportion of two
fifths paper and three-fifths loans or
increased taxes. After the end of the
year, Germany would issue no more
paper at all, it was agreed.
This part of the agreement. &C
cording to news received this morn
ing, does not appear to have been
categorically accepted by Chancellor
Wirth, and the optimism created by
the understanding reached with Herr
Hermes has somewhat diminished.
