BRITISH NOTE
INVITES NEW
GERMAN BID
Berlin Diplomats Disappointed
at Sharp Tone and French
Criticize Curzon for Lack of
Firmness in Crisis.
BV CAROLINE V. KERR,
Universal Service Correspondent.
Special Cable Dispatch.
Berlin, May 13.—The immediate re
action in official circles to the British
note, which was received in Berlin at
6 ^dock Sunday night, is one of bit
ter disappointment and painful de
pression at the negative tone of the
note and the failure of tho English
government to agree to or commendi a
single point in the recent reparations
offer,
The sharp rejection of all of Ger
many’s proposals created all the more
painful impression because the fram
ers of the German offer consider un
just England's reproach that the offer
is too vague. The Germans think
they went far in expressing their will
ingness to do everything in their
power to reach a satisfactory settle
ment of the reparations question.
The sharp tone of the note, it is
realized here, is not essentially un
friendly to Germany but is seen as an
intended sop to France, to whom,
under existing conditions, England 18
bound to make concessions.
But Still Hopeful.
It is felt, however, that all the doors
are not closed, though the negative
tone and manner with which all the
chief points of the German note were
ignored by the English greatly in
crease the difficulties of the Cuno
cabinet.
Especially sharp opposition to any
new offer i'j expected from the Ger
man national party. Notwithstand
ing that the prospects for further ne
gotiations are not auspicious, the
note will be carefully considered in
an effort to find a form in which Ger
many may, both in matter and
amounts of payment, as well as
guarantees, more closely approach
England’s wishes.
Italian Note Similar.
It is expected that there will be a
sharp reaction on the stock market
Monday when the Germans learn that
the note does not signify any easing
of the situation nor the slightest op
timism.
The Italian note, which it was
hoped, might be more encouraging, i%
essentially the same in content,
though couched in more friendly
language. But, like the English note,
it does nothing to relieve the situa
tion.
NEW OFFER INVITED.
By John T. Burke, Universal Service
Correspondent.
London, May 13.—Lord Curzon’s
note to Germany, while expressing
“deep dissatisfaction and disappoint
ment at the policies offered by Ber
lin to settle a problem which is
gravely disturbing political and eco
nomic conditions of Europe and the
world,” strikes a strong note for
peace by issuing a direct invitation
to Berlin to make a new offer.
The note also serves notice on
France that in the final settlement
Britain intends to take a part and
has no intention of abandoning her
claims to reparations. This is the
forcible declaration of Lord Curzon,
who admits that his recent speech in
parliament inspired the German of
fer, and it is accepted hero as a
warning that Britain is determined
not to be longer ignored by Premier
Poincare.
varzon s HnnouncemenT.
Lord’s Curzon’s exact words,
couched in diplomatic language but
which admit of no other interpreta
tion, follow:
“The British government is per
suaded that in her own interests
Germany will see the advantage of
displaying greater readiness to grap
ple with the realities of the case, and
discarding all irrelevant or contro
versial issues proceed to reconsider
and expand the proposals in such a
way as to convert them into a feas
ible basis for further discussion.
“Britain will at the suitable mo
ment be ready to take part by the
side of its Allies, with whom it
shares a practical interest in the
settlement of the question, an inter
est which it has no intention to
abandon, as well as a desire to ter
minate a situation of international
peril.
“It cannot conceal from Germany,
however, that as the first step
toward the realization of any such
hope a contribution much more ser
ious is required than any which has
yet been forthcoming.”

CRITICIZED IN FRANCE.
Paris, May 13.—The British reply
to the. German reparations offer,
which was rejected by France and
Belgium, arrived here and| is assailed
in high diplomatic quarters. •
It is complained that Lord Cur
zon’s note is a “distinct encourage
ment to Germany since it leaves the
door open to negotiations without
specifying that the passive resistance
in the Ruhr must cease.
“If Germany defies us the blame
will be Lord Curzon's,” said a prom
inent diplomat Sunday evening.

would not be punished and
would have complete freedom of
movement. Another condition
was complete withdrawal of gov

IMPEACHMENT OF'
TAFTJEMANDEI
Debs Announces Socialist
Party to Call for Action by
Congress—Denounces \
Supreme Court.
Universal Service.
Newark, N. J., May 13.—Eugene V.
Debs announced Sunday that the
socfalist party will call on congross to
initiate Chief Justice Taft’a impeach,
ment because of his acceptance of a
$10,000 annuity from the Carneigie
Corporation.
The announcement was made while
Mr. Debs was speaking to an over
flow audience of several thousand
persons at Kruger auditorium. He
also predicted that the government
will soon recognize the Russian gov
ernment.
Mr. Debs said:
“The socialist party proposes to
proceed against William Howard Taft
and if he does not resign It intends to
demand his impeachment I am not
animated by any motive of revenge,
though Mr. Taft, when I was In
Atlanta, said, I was where I belonged.
I can’t say that Mr. Taft is where he
belongs.”
Resolution Asks Action. )
Mr. Debs read a resolution adopted
by the executive committee of the
socialist party, terming the accept
ance of the gratuity by the chief Jus
tice as being "not unethical, but a
menace to the integrity of our courts.”
The resolution calls on congress to
take steps to “secure his resignation
or impeachment.”
Debs continued:
“The excuse that the capitalist pa
pers are giving for Taft’s receiving
this annuity is that Carnegie was his
friend. Of course Carnegie was his
friend! So is Morgan and all the
other capitalists. He has served them
faithfully and why shouldn’t they be
his friends?
Denunciation Applauded.
“Think of a pensioner of the steel
trust being chief Justice of our high
est court! They nsk me if I have
any respect for that court and I say
‘no, absolutely none.’ “
Prolonged applauso greeted his re
marks.

Flowers in Spring.
Do you know the early flowers? The
early or dwarf Trillium, or Wake
Robin, pushes its small white bloom
through the dead leaves, or even same
times through the snow—a delightful
little flower and all too uncommon, says
£ature Magazine of Washington. All
of the Trilliums, of which five species
more or less are common In the East
ern states, regulate their lives by the
rule of three. Hence the name. They
have three sepals, three petals, three
styles, six stamens, a three-celled
ovary, and the flower stems project
from a whorl of liree leaves.

The Chicago and North Western System, in Maintaining the Best
Possible Service to Shippers, Has Its “Freight Service Com
mittees” Constantly at Work on Every Division of
the Road, Co-operating With Its Patrons
The membership of these Committees includes all classes of employes, division
officers, conductors, brakemen, engineers, etc. It is a problem demanding team work
—the reducing of damage claims to the lowest possible minimum.
Without the splendid work of the North Western employes, the enviable record
of 1922 in the reducing of the causes of damage claims would never have been made.
Not only those on the committees, but system employes generally are co-operating
jn service to shippers and savings to the carrier.
As an illustration of the interest taken in this work the cartoon is shown below
as drftwn by a Blacksmith's Helper in one of the System shops. It is typical of the
appeals of employes to their fellow workers, and but expresses the pioneer spirit of
the road that ran the first locomotive out of Chicago seventy-five years ago—the
Pioneer.
Shippers interested in the details of the work of this Freight Service Committee
of the Chicago and North Western Railway can obtain full information from any
agent of the Company.

WOODPECKER, SPARE THAT TREE!
This bird-has been hanging around since we planted the acorn. He started his dirty work when
this big tree was a little bush, and he seems to have grown up with it, but we are not going to allow
this “buzzard” to consume the sap that should rightfully go to growth, strength and beauty. We have
the power to put him out. Thought and action are our best weapons. We may blow away a tail
feather, or the top of his topknot, but he still hangs around. Let’s load with buckshot for 1923 and
blow the joy-killer, feathers, bill, bird and all, into smithereens.
