France Is Firm on Reparations ^ote to Great Britain Carries Jibut Refusal to Abandon Ruhr Invasion. Paris, Aug. 22.—France Is standing pat upon Its reparations demands, it was revealed today when the for eign oftic-e officially published the note sent to London last night In reply to the British reparations com mission of August 12. It Is a 60 page document, laying all France's cards upon the table, and answering the British document point by point. For the first time France officially sets forth 26,000,000,000 gold marks as its minimum deftfand from Ger many, plus sufficient credits from "Class C” reparations bonds to pay any war debts claimed by France's allies. The note pointed out that this is a concession on France's part as its share of "C” bonds might exceed the demands made upon it by its allies for war debts. Won’t Accept Commission. The note reiterated that France will not enter into negotiations with Germany until passive resistance ceases in the Ruhr and will not ac cept an International commission of experts to fix Germany’s capacity ^gjjjpayment. J Willingness was expected, however, to discuss debatable questions with Great Britain and the other allies. The French foreign office considers that the door has been left open for an agreement with Great Britain and that th« Anglo-French entente re mains in force. Officials pointed to the conciliatory tone of the document, especially the decision to participate in an allied conference. The note suggests an immediate set tlement of that part of the German debt which is to cover the reconstruc tion of war devastated France, post poning a definite settlement of the balance of the debt question until later. Xu mention is made of immedi ate settlement of the allied debt ques tion. Money for Resistance. France claims that Germany is spending more money in resisting the French in the Ruhr than it would spend In meeting its just financial obligations. The not refutes England's con demnation of Ruhr occupation as 11 legal. Answering the British sugges tion that the issue he referred to The Hague tribunal, the note says: "We have no need of outside juris diction to interpret the Versailles treaty. We have only to Invoke the opinion heretofore expressed by the British government itself.’’ The document then points out that the British accepted Ruhr occupation I ^1?oYe Spa protocol in July, 1920, and in the London declaration of March, 1921. Denial is again made that prance has any desire to annex Germany territory. By International News Service. London. Aug. 22.—British officials today began a study of the French reparations note under a cloud of secrecy. Great Britain's attitiffle to wards the document will not be known publicly until Premier Bald win and Foreign Secretary Lord Cur zon have thoroughly digested it.

Horton, superintendent of the local Bible Institute was emphati cally declaring that “dancing is the high road to hell,” dancing masters in national convention here today musfered their cries to defend their college. “No man ever had pure thoughts while dancing with a woman," was Dr. Horton's message, broadcast in support of his charges that dancing was one of the major evils to tempt man from “the straight and narrow path.” “Don’t you believe it,” Ernest E Ryan, noted dancing master scoffed. "If that is true why did Moses call the children of Isreal together for a big dance of rejoicing after he had led them safely through the Red sea in their flight from the oppression of Egypt'."’ Dancing is the oldest form of amusement, shared alike by rich and poor, in the history of the world and is most healthful, Ryan stoutly claims. But Dr. Morton does not agree with that. He says that "after 50 years of experience, 1 am satisfied that danc ing is the worst form of amusement for our young people.’’ In the Wake of the Mud Delude Water will be pumped into Omaha through a fire hose from the Thirty seventh and Broadway street pump ing station.
