(Special Telegram.) Nebraskans,
who have forsaken their former

homes when they met here for
the semi-annual picnic of the Ne
braska Association of Southern Cali
fornia. Over 6,000 former Ne

hundred who are visiting in the vi
cinity during the summer.
The picnic was held at Bixby
Park, near the ocean front, and thou
sands milled back and forth over the
lawn, renewing old acquaintanceships
from midforenoon until dark. At
noon there were hundreds of family
and group luncheons and later there
was a brief program of speechmak

Charles A. Randall, formerly of
Fairmont, Neb., who came to Cali

Immigration Law
Effective Bar to
Alien Movement
Survey of Last Fiscal Year
Shows North and West .
European Countries
Short of Quotas.
" Washington, Aug. 6. The 3 per
cent limitation immigration law has
proved an effectual bar aeainst'anv
grants from southern and eastern
European countries to the United
States, Secretary of LaT)or Davis an
nounced in making public a survey of
immigrants for the fiscal year just
closed.
The figures show that northern
and western European countries had
fallen far short of filling their quotas,
while the southern and eastern Euro
pean countries of Europe were send
ing just as many to America as would
be accepted.
A summary of the immigrants ad
mitted) during the fiscal year which
ended June 30 showed that the fol
lowing countries sent to this coun
try 100 per cent of the quotas al
lowed them under the 3 per cent law:
Belgium, Greece, Hungary, Italy,
Luxembourg, Poland, Roumania,
Jugo-Slavia, Palestine, Turkey, Syria,
the miscellaneous European ana
Asiatic countries, Africa, Australia
and New Zealand. In contrast with
these nations, the countries of north
ern and western Europe in some in
stances, it was said, sent less than
one-half ofhe number permitted un
der the quota law. Germany sent 28
per cent of its allotment; Sweden,
43 per cent; Norway, 48 per cent;
The Netherlands, 66 per cent, and
France, 75 per cent.
"The figures clearly indicate," the
secretary said, "that the 3 per cent
limit has proved no bar to immi
grants from the Nordic races, for it
fixes the limitation well above the
number of immigrants of this class
normally coming to America. But it
has operated to effectually check the
stream from southern and eastern
Europe.'

Senate Facing
Busy Week's Work
on Tariff Measure
Sugar, Potash, Arsenic and
Leather Schedules Due for
Disposition ' Under, Agree
ment to Limit Debate.
Omaha Be leurf Wire.
Washington, Aug. 6. The busiest
week of the tariff consideration in
the. senate is at hand. Because of
the unanimous consent agreement to
limit debate nad take up highly con
troversial paragraphs of the bill out
of order, the present week will isee
disposition of the sugar, potash, ar
senic and hides and leather rates
and amendments providing an elas
tic tariff with the president in con
trol of rates, as well as proposals to
extend the authority of the tariff
commission so that a scientific tariff
hereafter may be framed.
Mvt in Vi cticrar Atltv. which un
der the agreement must be finally
disposed of by 2o'clock Tuesday, one
of the hardest contests of the week
is expected over the proposed
bounty to potash producers. This
will be taken up following tne vote
on sugar and must be disposed of
the same dav. orobably forcing a
long night session.
Potash on Free List.
The house bill placed potash on
the free list, with a proviso that
there shall be a sliding duty for five
years, 2xi cents the first two years
and decreasing annually to 1 cent
the fifth year, after which the duty
is to be removed.
The finance committee Tuesday
will propose an amendment, making
potash duty free immediately and
substituting a direct bounty to Amer
ican potash producers orf the same
basis as the five-year duty, which on
the figures of 1,000,000 pounds would
be $2,500,000 the first two years,
dropping a half-million dollars an
nually each year thereafter. Bounties
have been paid in American history
there was a bounty to sugar pro
ducers some 30 years ago but the
potash proposal will be opposed
vigorously by the democrats and by
Senator Lenroot and other repub
licans with considerable doubt of its
adoption, from present indications.
Arsenic Rate Adopted.
The white arsenic rate of 2 cents
a pound was adopted early in May.
Southern senators have protested
bitterly because calcium arsenite is
the most effective weapon yet found
to combat the boll weevil which has
ravaged the cotton crop for a dozen
years. Indications are that this duty
will be retained. ,
The paragraph written into the bill
by the senate committee imposing a
duty of 2 cents per pound on green
hides and 4 cents per pound on cured
hides has aroused opposition among
both republicans and democrats, but
is supported by the bipartisan agri
cultural bloc, which has succeeded n
having many other rates Written intb
the tariff. This duty is reflected in,
compensatory duties on shoes and
leather goods generally Under agree
ment, this subject must be disposed
of before the recess Wednesday night.

Reprisals
by France
Under Way
Sanctions Against Germany
Because of Refusal to Pay
Prewar Claims Become
Effective.
Independent of Allies
By FLOYD GIBBONS.
Coprrlghl ISIS.
Taris, Aug. 6. The French eco
nomic sanctions against Germany
because of the latter'i refusal to con
tinue monthly payments of 2,000,000
pounds in settlement of prewar com
mercial claims of allied nationals
against German nationals became ef
fective at noon Saturday.
The sanctions establish a tentative
claim against the property of Ger
mans living in AIsace-Loraine and
also halt the complicated mechanism
of reimbursement of German citizens
by the German government for their
property and commercial credits
liquidated in allied countries during
the war. France is able to stop this
reimbursement through stoppage of
any further acknowledgement of
these goods. Germany has been pay
ing claims to its own citizens at a
faster rate' than the claims of allied
nationals against Germans.
France Acts Independently.
In themselves, the sanctions hasten
as of first rate importance compared
to the basic vaster problem of repar
ations, but the real significance of
the enforcement lies in the fact that
the French government was finally
pushed to the point where it decided
to act independently of the other al
lies. It is this threat of separate action
against Germany and secondarily the
extension of today's sanctions that
M. Poincare will hold over Mr. Lloyd
George at London on Monday. In
the eyes of the French, this is justi
fied by the British refusal to parti
cipate in the allied pressure to maice
Germany pay which France considers
absolutely essential.
Driven to Drastic Action.
In the supreme council, France
will only agree to allow Germany a
short cash moratorium in the event
Germany will furnish productive
guarantees. Otherwise, France will
act alone. M. Poincare is driven
to drastic action by the state of
French finances 'and also his own
position.
The trench government iranKiy
admit that Germanv is bankrupt
financially, but contends that Ger
manv i rich economically. France
insists that Germany will allow it
self to remain financially bankrupt
for many years, in the hope of escap
ing renaratinns nr at least the hone
of a new reparations settlement at
thetime Germany is at tne lowest
ebb. France wishes strict, allied fi
nancial control of Germany.
The question of French sanctions
must inevitably come up in London
because Belgium tears a stoppage oi
the reparations payments.

upon the wool schedule of the tariff

France Rushing
Men to Reinforce

Artillery and Engineers Ready
to Sail for Constantinople
to Aid in Checking
Greek Advance.
Copyrlfht 1922.
Paris, Aug. 6.- France is appar
ently rushing troops in considerable
numbers to Constantinople to rein
force the 12,000 allied troops who are
barring the Greek entry to the Turk
ish capital.
Artillery and engineers have been
leaving their depot at Grenoble under
emergency orders for Marseilles.
Until tonight none of the troops have
sailed, but it is widely credited thSt
they will be leaving for Constanti
nople the instant the boat is avail
able. The deepest secrecy surrounds
the destination of the troops. .
In the fac of Mr. Lloyd George's
expressed inclination in the house of
commons, to allow the Greeks to en
ter Constantinople, the French de
termination to prevent the Greek oc
cupation of the capital is deeply
ominous. French government of
ficials frankly admitted that 8,000
French, Algerian and Senegalese
troops along the Chatalja lines have
received, strict orders to prevent the
Greek advance, regardless of the ac
tion of British and Italian troops.
The French are summing up the
situation that the British are simply
making Constantinople a first-rate af
fair for trading purposes in London,
the British giving concessions on
reparations and getting concessions
in the near east.
In its general aspect, this is con
sidered only one phase of the strug
gle between French and British over
the Mediterranean, where the bisect
ing of the main French and British
communications route is the cause
of the chief European jealousy.

"Dislike for noise and show is a

who met the train with copies of the
Sunday Bee and a box of candy for
Mrs. Coolidge. He presented the
vice president with a good-luck
,penny dated 1833.
Others in the party were the two

"Do you remember James H,

"Oh, you mean 'Whiskers', don't

and a broad grin lighted up an other
wise austere countenance.
"You know it wasn't the fashion
for college men to wear a beard
after 1890 and we used to rag' the
fellows who did," he explained.
Matters of state were taboo from
official comment, but the vice presi
