PARIS, April 2S.-"The marshal is

irreverent. surprised but subdued
murmur that ran through a large
crowd standing in front of the French
appearance of the academicians ON

show the world that armies are futile.
1t is one of the strange turns of fate
that Germany, formerly one Of the

now making the worlds first great
experiment in peaceful resistance to

So says J. Henry Scattergood Of

Europe. where he was sent by the
American Friends service committee
to report on whether or not the Ruhr

Quakers to again take supervision

according to the estimates of Mr..
Boyden, about three and three-quarter
billion dollars, or nearly four times
as much as the indemnity paid by
France to Germany following the war
of 1s70-1s71. France is demanding q
fabulously large indemnity from Ger

to prevent Germany's financial and
commercial recovery by means Of

Mr.. Scattergood said that he did
not find among the mass of the people
in Germany or among the present
government officials either an unwill-
ingness to pay reparations or any de-
sire for revenge or aggression against
France. Germany wants a fair neu-
trail decision on what the reparations
ougt to be, and then wants to pay
them in the shortest possible time in
order to begin the work of permanent
reconstruction.
Communism may be forced on Ger

policy" said Mr.. Scattergood. III

PAY FEDERAL TRIBUTE.

PARIS, April 2s.-Feudal days are
recalled by a little ceremony which
has just occurred at Perpignan.
where a delegation OF mountaineers
solemnly brought in the sum OF $50
francs as their annual feudal tribute
to the head Of the French govern
ment.
The latter shares with the Spanish
bishop of Urgel a sort of suzerainty
over the little republic of Andorra-
in the Pyrenees. where 5000 noun
taineers have lived since the year
1878 in an independent state, com
prising less than 200 square miles,
between the French and Spanish bor-
ders.
The bishop gets $50 pesetas an
nually, which at the present rate of
exchange exceeds the French rulers
share, originally intended to be twice
as much as the bishops.

Tourists Call C7ifty Falls Park
'The S1UitSeYland of Indiana y

1.-THE Switzerland of Indiana as 1t
Is sometimes called, has won the name
from tourists who have recognized
the similarity of Clifty Falls State
Park to the wonderland of Europe.
1t is very rugged, thickly wooded with
many deep gorges and excellent views.
The valley Of the Ohio River at this
point is a succession of towering bluffs
and sweeping panoramas. From
Clifty Inn the tourist has view of
the river as it winds past Madison
and disappears behind the blue hills
of southern Indiana.
The feature Of the park is Clifty
Falls, some ninety feet in height, and
a series OF many smaller cascades.
The road to Clifty Falls passes
through the home of Franklin College
at Franklin. Columbus, on the route,
contains the Irwin sunken gardens,
considered by many the finest west
Of Philadelphia. Upton Knoll, one
of the largest Indian mounds in ex-
istence, Is near the center of that
city.
Leave Indianapolis by Madison Ave.
Follow State road No. 1 to Columbus
and State road No 26 to Madison. At
North Madison note the sign at the
entrance to the Southeastern Hospital
for the Insane, take the cinder road
to the right on the outside OF the en-
trance. Follow signs to Clifty Falls.
