Age-Old Hatred Back of French Advance in Ruhr Present Struggle Is Final Test ‘ of Reparations Clauses in Treaty—Germans Await ing Day of Revenge. Copyright. 1#JS. London. Jan. 2S.—Two years ago a British diplomat In Constantinople re marked that any nation could break the Versailles treaty at any moment -.without suffering moro than nomi nal penalty. Today the German government is feeling its way toward a denunciation of this instrument in the Industrial i warfare of the Ruhr. In the result of this terrific economic struggle be tween ancient enemies may lie the proof of the diplomat s statement. In any event It is the last test of the reparations clauses. Either France win break the German will to evade payment or It will lose forever any thing like the sum it demands in re turn for war damages. While the fundamental cause of the present war Is the question of repara tions payments, back of It lies a cen tury's old liatered of France and everything French in German hearts and a hatred and fear of Germany, which dominates the foreign policey and internal politics and lives of the French people. I'ranee Needs Money. France wants German gold marks. | It needs this money to bolster up Its almost bankrupt finances, to pay i sums it has advanced to citizens for the reconstruction of the devastated regions and to continue the work of ! reclamation and Industrial reorganiza tion there. But France wants security first— security from a neighbor whom it j knows will attaek ns soon as that I neighbor lias gathered strength. So j long as it holds the Ruhr and Rhine- j land and is in a position to control I Germany or fight a war on German j soli France feels that it has this se curity. While all denunciations of Franco j and threats of future revenge are ut- ! tered in the heat of anger and must ha discounted, there is no mistaking the feeling in the territories occupied j by the French army. The corre-j spondent talked the other night with j a retired German army officer. “We conducted. ourselves in this j last war better than we should have,’’ j he said. “We tried to make this war ' a white page in history. We got lies and abuse in return. The next time we Invade France we will leave noth ing living. They do not deserve to live." Wailing Day of Revenge. This officer represents the extrem- i lsts’ opinion as to how the next war must he conducted, but every one from workers to industrial magnates, are thinking and dreaming of the day of revenge, and every move of the French army into Germany only adds fuel to the flames. The French jjustlfy their action In the Ruhr by the fact that they have received practically nothing so far on the reparations account—$1,250,000, 000 will cover all—while they, with a heavier war debt than Germany, with factories and coal mines In their richest Industrial regions destroyed during the war have advanced $7,125,000,000 to their nationals on Germany's account. They declare the German refusal to pay Is a bluff, that the country Is industrially richer to day than any other nation In Europe, and that unless heavy pressure Is brought to bear the evasion will con tinue until Germany Is strong enough to resist by arms. For the present the German resist ance will remain passive. If they don’t succeed in this within the next fortnight France has won for the j present, and the Ruhr move will have become at least a partial success. There Is much to be collected from j the Ruhr and Rhineland under the new sanctions If the workers will re- i main at their posts. Dunn Violently Opposed to Proposed Police Bill Police Commissioner H. W. Dunn is decidedly against the passage of a bill which has been offered to the legisla ture and which, if enacted, would pro hibit police officers interviewing pris oners except In tho presence of an at torney or other person friendly to the prisoner's interests. “The passage of this hill would seri ously handicap the police in their work,” the commissioner said. "Any- I one familiar with police work will tell you that the bill Is absurd.” The police commissioner intends to promote opposition to tlie bill, which is known as 8. F.

Yankee Firms Given Oil Rights by Communists First Concession to Sinclkir Exploring Company on Is land of Sakhalin Ap proved by Officials. Moscow. Jan. 28.—(By A. P.)— The | first concession for oil and exploita- \ tion rights on the Russian half of the Island of Sakhalin to an American ! concern, the Sinclair Exploring corn- 1 pany, hns been approved by the coun cil of commissars. It gives Russia the ; right of cancellation If at any time the United States undertakes Inimical actions and does not juridical ly recognize the soviet regime. The concession, which is for a period of 36 years, permits the ex ploitation of 1,000 square versts and gives the company the right to build two ports in eastern Sakhalin, the ports to be under government con trol. The company agrees to spend a minimum of 400,000 gold rubles the first five years and to pay a gradu ated tax of from 1 to 7 1-2 per cent on the oil and other products secur ed. depending upon the yield. It will also have to pay some local taxes. The Sinclair negotiations were be gun at Chita with the far eastern re public. which has since been Incor porated with the soviet federation. What constitutes the actual Russian control of Sakhalin at present Is not clear in Moscow. Concessions were also approved to the Jewish Colonization society, which is understood to be financed by the Rothschild group and pledged to spend 3,000,000 francs up to the first of January, 1926, for the purpose of capitalizing the purchase of agricul tural machinery through the establish ment of Jewish land banks. Another concession ratified was to an American "commune” in Callfor noa, which will take over about 2,000 acres of land In the Don region.

Ownership Only Solution of Rail Problem Senator Couzens of Michigan Says Government Operation Could Not Cost More ' Than Present System. Philadelphia, Jan. 28. — Senator James Couzens of Michigan, who, be fore he went to the senate attracted wide- attention as administrator of Detroit's municipally controlled street car system, told the Philadelphia real estate board, Saturday that although he had "an open mind" on the railroad problem it appeared to him that gov ernment ownership of the roads fur nished "the only solution.” Making his first prepared public ad dress since he was appointed senator. Mr. Couzens declared that certainly the nation's transportation under gov ernment ownership would not he "any more expensive to the public thnn it r.ow is.” Although a republican, he said, lie could not agree that govern ment operation during the war was a mistake, nor had he found any proof of President Harding’s recent state ment. that government control had brought about the present unsatis factory situation. “I have an entirely open mind as to the solution of the railroad problem,” said Senator Couzens, "because I have not heard any one say that the railroads are not a problem. Every where from every section of th^oun try, the government is being urged to do something in connection with ttie railroad problem. It is the duty of congress to endeavor to solve •it, be cause there Is no other agency to do it. Is Only Solution. "Personally, I should prefer that the government did not have to take over the railroads, but we have not found any effective solution and, therefore, it looks to me as though government ownership was the only solution. This does not necessarily rres/n government operation, because if the railroads could properly expand and develop and the government could control by regulation the man agement, tve might be able to get along without undue interference of politicians. •« "I would like to point out, however, that mere are many worse interfer ences thnn the interferences of poli ticians. There is the interference of tile bankers who must get their ‘rake off,’ regardless of public service or the treatment of the men who oper-. ate the railroads. Then you know, every manufacturer’s organization or organization of other groups Immedi ately jump in to fight any raise in rates or the adoptloh of any rule or regulation which In any way affects their business. Everyone wants the railroads to succeed at somebody else's expense. Service at Lower Cost. "Let me say to you that the govern ment can waste considerable money through inefficiency and politics, and yet produce service to the public in many activities at a less cost than can be done by private industries that are not in the limelight and that have go many ways of covering up their cost through high salaries, extra com pensation to directors, the purchasing of supplies from industries in which the directors are interested, and front the ‘rake-offs’ paid to the bankers who finance them.” Coal transportation statistics were cited by the senator to show, he said, that the coal industry, about which the government is being "importuned every hour of the day to take some action,” is closely "elated to the rail roads. Ke denied numerous state ments that he had come out in favor of government ownership and con cluded with a reiteration thnt ne had pn entirely "open mind” on ;be whole subject.

The games in which he lost his money began June 5 and ended July 5, and were eight in number, the# final game costing him $14,000. O'Neal Positive U.S. Will Accept Ford’s Shoals Bid Alabama Farm Bureau Head Falls Plan of Senator Norris (riving Control to Govern ment Impracticable. Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 28.—(By A. B.i Positive confidence that congress will accept the Ford offer for Muscle 1 Shoals and thereby reject the plan of Senator Norris, of Nebraska, for gov ernment operation was expressed by Edward A. O'Neal, member of the executive committee of the American Farm Bureau federation and vice president of the Alabama Farm Bu reau federation, in a statement in reply to charges made against Gray Silver, Washington, representative of the Farm bureau by Senator Norris. The statement of Mr. O'Neal fol lows: “The farmers of Alabama, and of America, feel that Muscle Shoals is j of first importance and that the public at large should not misinterpret the charges of Senator Norris of Nebras ka. saying that Gray Silver Is a repre sentative of the Ford corporation in stead of the farmers. By making such insinuations, Mr. Norris greatly , misrepresents our leader who has so faithfully and successfully served the American farmers, succeeding in hav ing more laws passed for the good of agriculture than had been passed dur ing the entire American history. "Senator Norris had a leader in preventing acceptance of the Ford of fer by congress. He is for govern ment operation, which is neither prac ticable nor acceptable. Our people know what government operation means. Farmers of Nebraska are j Opposed to the stand taken by Sena- | tor Norris. “The truth is that the American | people know that there has been only one offer of the Muscle Shoals, and this is the Ford offer. If accepted, fhe Ford offer will give the American people a demonstration development of natural resources of our great country for tljo benefit of the people. “As it now stands, It is government operation against the Ford offer and I predict the acceptance of the latter because it is right, and meets the wishes of by far the majority of the American people. When this is done, the American Farm Bureau federation, through Gray Silver, as its representative, will j have saved the farmers by cheaper ; fertilizer millions annually through the years to come. The saving on i natural resources and lower trans portation rates will also be enormous,” Mr.' O'Neal declared.

East Nebraska Mav Become Fruit *) Growing Center P Deep Loess Soil Suited for Growing of Plants—Demon stration Farm Started by the State University. Lincoln—The commercial fruits of chief importance In Nebraska are ap ples, grapes, cherries, plums and strawberries, according to K F. Howard of the University of Nebras ka. The pear, raspberries, blackber ries. gooseberries and currants are also grown successfully in many parts of the state, he says, adding that the greater part of the commercial plant ings are to be found in the eastern part of the state, though several im portant plantings are located in tlio central and western counties, espe cially along the Platte valley. Expansion Is Favored. Mr. Howard says that fruit special ists of the central west are generally agreed that the Missouri river region, including eastern Nebraska, is des tined to become one of the important fruit producing sections of the United States. The deep loess soil forma tion is exceptionally well suited for the growing of plants. The climate, air drainage, accessibility to markets, as well as the moderate price of land , all favor an expansion of fruit grow-1 ing. "The state has recently purchased SO acres of land on which commercial orchard plantings have been made," Mr. Howard says. "The object of this farm is to demonstrate the possi bilities of fruit growing. It also af fords an opportunity to conduct some comprehensive tests in pruning, orchard culture and pest control. "The production of fruit for home use is successfully practiced in all parts of the state. Vegetables Are Success. "Vegetables of many kinds are grown in abundance in all parts of the state. Nearly every farm has its vegetable garden, in which many of the staple foods are produced in suffi cient quantities for the entire year. "Commercial truck gardening is an important industry near all of the cities and towns. "The irrigated regions of western Nebraska possess rare opportunities for the wider development of certain truck crops. When the facilities for canning and drying are furnished in the irrigated sections, immense quan- ; tities of carrots, beets, peas, beans, squash, pumpkins and sweet corn will be grown." Fruit Growers’ Short Course to Be Given at University Lincoln—A five day short course for fruit growers will he offered at j tile University of Nebraska agricul tural college here during the latter part of February. This course will bo of special interest to persons who in tend to plant next spring and to those who have young plantings. The course is intended to give practical Information on kinds of fruit to grow, proper varieties for different lo calities, size of plantings, pruning, j spraying, harvesting, storing and mar- | keting.

Whole Wheat Cream Wafers—Place '2 cup ice cold cream or very rich milk in bowl, add teaspoon salt, sprinkle in equal parts whole wheat and rye flour until stiff dough is formed (about l’j cups.) Work, then set mixture in cold place for 15 min utes. Divide dough in 3 parts, roll one out quite thin, cut in squares and bake in hot oven before handling another piece. These wafers are de licious served with jelly; cheese or peanut butter and are just as health ful as graham crackers. When cutting apples for salad, the slices will not turn black if you use a silver knife instead'of a steel blade. If your new candles are too small for the candlesticks, dip the ends in hot water fur a minute and they will easily fit into the holder. Instead of putting flour thickening in your next corn, pea or tomato soup try using 12 soda crackers rolled fine. When the liquid boils stir in these crumbs and serve immediately.
