RIVOLI.

"Some Wild Oats" a picture that
has probably caused more comment than
any other released in the last few years,
will be shown at the Rivoli Sunday and
will continue several days.
There will be special shows for wom-
en- only and for men only. The pic
ture shows the possible consequences of
carelessness. Because the subject is
too delicate to PERM. its showing to a
mixed audience, the matinee perform
ances are for women only and the even
ing TO men only. Children under the
age of sixteen will not be admitted, fol-
lowing the request of the censorship
board.
Some Wild Oats" tells the story of
two wasted lives and shows the conse-
quences. One great blow of the pic
ture is aimed at the "quack" doctor and
so-caled medical Institutes" which
prey upon those unfortunates who have
reaped a whirlwind from the sowing of
wild oats.

San BenitO, Tex. Jan. 27.-Not since
1919 had the Rio Grande river been as
low as it is at this time. The ferry
company operating between brownsville

have to be added to if the eiver con-
tinues to fall. Carta Glanc' island is

international News Service.

PARIS, May 3.-The French
cabinet unanimously decided to-
day that the German reparations
proposals, offering $4,000, O00,-
900 gold marks, is not acceptable
to France. Such action had
been anticipated. A similar de-
cision is expected by Belgium.
Rejected For Four Reasons.
French foreign office officials
outlined four reasons why the Ger
man offer was unacceptable:
First, Because Germans win con.
tinue their passive resistance in the
Ruhr.
Second, Germany demands evacu-
alton of the Ruhr by French and
Belgian troops as condition for
acceptance of the proposals.
Third, There is no guarantee that
Germany will be successful in rails
ing an international loan to pay
off twenty billion gold marks by
1927.
Fourth, France Is opposed to ar
bitration of the reparations issue
by a committee of experts.
Press Condemns Proposal.
All the morning newspapers were
unanimous in saying the German
offer cannot be accepted.
1T is ridiculous" said the Matin.
1T is a piece Of trickery. said
the Journal.
"It is an insolent document,
said L'Echo National.
Victorie referred to 1t as mock
cry" while L'Envaire called It a

According to "Pertinax" political
editor of the Echo de Paris, the
Belgians favor a detailed answer
while the French want a short,
sharp, decisive refusal.
A few newspapers, notably Louis
Loucheur's Petit Journal and
L'Oeuvre pointed out the possibility
that the German note will create
a division of opinion among the
allies. leading perhaps to individual

Boyland explained that several

Indemnity Problem
To Be Solved By U. S.,
Is Opinion in London
BY DAVID NJ. CHURCH.
international News Service.

LONDON. May 3.-An impression
gained ground here today that the
United States is going to be called
upon TO play an important part in
the final settlement of the Ruhr
and reparations problems. There is
a prevalent feeling that the Ruhr
issue eventually will be settled
through the appointment Of an In
ternationaI commission to determine
the amount Germany can and must
pay. This solution was proposed
by Secretary of State Hughes.
George Harvey. American Ambas-
sador to England, who sailed for
home today on the liner George
washington, made it plain that he
expects Secretary Hughes proposals
to be the eventual basis of settle
ment. Harvey set at rest reports
he would remain in the United
States by saying he will return 10
London.
1t is learned from semi official
source that British officials are
