Washington, D. C. = The American

There was no indication that this
government would have any public or
private advice to give the Allies as
to acceptance or rejection of the Ger
man proposals.
There is qualification here that Sec
rotary Hughes suggestion for an in

economists has been brought to the

question as we'll as regarded the sug-
gestion for an application of the

BETTER DANCE HALLS
Assemblyman Vincent of Kenosha
Takes Floor in Assembly to Seek
Passage of Ridgway Bill.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire)

Madison, Wis. - The R1dgWay sem
ate bill empowering county boards to
regulate dance halls was passed to
third reading by the assembly today,
72 to Is. Assemblyman Mark of Iron
county voiced the only opposition to
the bill. His motion for indefinite
postponement was voted down 26 to 81.
Assemblyman Lawson of Walworth
county and Vincent of Kenosha coun-
ty strongly urged passage of the bill,
declaring that numerous dance halls
operate in their counties during the
summer months and "are menace to
our youth" Persons come from miles
around in automobiles to attend wild
parties at these joints" they said
Assemblyman F. G. Smith of Ash
land said such regulation was needed
in his county "to curb the use of
moonshine" Assemblyman Price of
Juneau county said it was only in
line with the home rule policy of the
present legislature to grant to indi-
vidual counties the power to regulate
dance halls.

AS the third alternative the note pro-

Of a representative of the Preparations
commission and representative of the
German government together with e.
chairman whom the president of the
United States would be requested 20
nominate in case the other two mem
bers failed to agree as to the nomina-
ton.
Germany in her reparations pro1o-
sails submitted today advances a propo-
sition that security as between France
and Germany to be attained by an
agreement to submit any future con-
ficts to arbitration or other reconcile
atory processes. The German govern
ment, says the note, is prepared, as
was its intention in proposing the con-
clusion of Rhine pact, to accept any
| agreement calculated to secure peace
based on reciprocity.
The German government, it adds, is
prepared to accept any agreement bind
ing on both Germany and France 10
submit all conflicts which cannot be
settled in the usual diplomatic way to
some kind of peaceful international
procedure, that is to say, juridical con-
fiicts to arbitration and all other con-
ficts to reconciliation process after
the example of the Bryan agreements.
(The agreements are the seEes of
arbitration treaties negotiated by Sec
rotary Bryan during the Wilson adj
ministration with Great Britain and
other foreign governments.)
Great Britain Not Connected.
London-It was authoritatively stat
ed here this afternoon that the British
government has been at some pains 20
make clear to every party that Great
Britain is in no way connected with
the German PREPARATION note and she
had no hand whatsoever in framing its
terms, as had been suggested in GER
tain quarters.

Paris,-The new German prOpO-

are so far from acceptable to
France that a fiat rejection of them
is regarded by persons close to
Premier Poincare as inevitable.
This rejection, it is stated, will
probably be followed by an extern
sion of the occupation on the right
bank of the Rhine. The French
authorities found the offer as con-
tanned in the unofficial text given
out by the German semi-official
news agency to be in nearly every
respect just as forecast in the re-
ports received from Berlin last
week, and therefore entirely I'M
satisfactory from their viewpoint.
1t was made known in a semi-Offi-

as propaganda intended to convince
