Germany’s Future in French Hands, Britisher Avers S. K. Ratcliffe, Journalist, Ad* dresses Omaha Society of Fine Arts on Repara tions Question. S. K. Ratcliffe, British journalist and lecturer, spoke to the Omaha So ciety of Fine Arts Tuesday after noon at Hotel Fontenelle on "The t'ris'is of Civilization.” Ho discussed the subject of German reparations and the break in policy between the British and French governments. "The responsible body »>f public opinion in Great Britain says, ‘We recognize that reparations must be paid, and on as large scale as possi ble, but they must be placed at a practical limit and paid in such form as not to injure thei countries receiv ing them. In order to pay repara tions, Germany must recover her prosperity. Your debtor cannot pay you whilp he Is crushed in the dust.’ ‘T rance must choose," the speaker said, 1 "between collecting from a country recovering and finally to re cover, or sacrificing those repara tions for reasons which in the French mind mean the destruction of Ger many as a military power. "There is something fundamental behind reparations, and that is, se curity,” Mr. Ratcliffe reminded. Three possible ways of emergence from the present state of affairs in central Europe were mentioned: Ar bitration by the league of nations, separation of tlie Rhine region from Germany, neutralization and demili tarization of that region. Taking a view of world affairs, rather than European alone, Mr. at eliffe saitl our representative insti tutions are being challenged. New al legiance in constitutional government was suggested and a greater effort to make the human side of life keep pace with our material advancement.

Butler in View of Colleagues Thinks Himself Butter Thau Dunn, but They Aver He's “Not So Good/’ Dan Butler as a police commission er, according to five of his brother commissioners, after two weeks, is "not so good." The sixth commissioner is of the opinion that Mr. Butler in his new regalia is a pretty, yea, a very good police commissioner. That person Is Mr. Butler himself. "I’m better than Dunn was, any , way," Mr. Butler remarked. "When | I get through with the police de j partment, the officers will at least recognize me and speak to me on the ! street. Half of ’em didn't know I Dunn when they saw him. If he ! went to the station at all, it was very seldom.” Commissioner Koutsky is in dis pair. “Where can we put Butler where he will w'ork as he should?" he walled. “He didn't make good as sireet commissioner, and now he's handing out hunk so that no one knows what is going on." “If Dan would go out and do things and not talk so much it would tie all right," Is the opinion of Com missioner Hummel. The other commissioners declare themselves pessimistic-, but say they are willing to be hopeful when giv- ! en a chance.
