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. No. 30.

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.

U. S. 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.

“African Golf” Costly
for Real Estate Dealer;
Files Suit for $35.00
Chicago, Jan. 28.—Joseph A. Kibert,
a rpal estate dealer, once thought he
was an expert in the game of “Afri
can golf.” but that was before he
j met William C. Brown, Michael V.
Shortall and George Schneider, who
rolled the cubes in such fashion that
.Kibert alleges, in a suit filed Satur
*day, that he was “trimmed" of $36,
000.
In his suit, Kibert admits he was
proud of his ability as a erapshooter
| and willing to pit his skill and luck
against all comers, but in the game
with the defendants, “for some un
known reason, luck was against your
orator and he lost $32,500.”
in his suit he asks that interest on
that sum be added to the total, bring
ing it ub to $35,000. 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.

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.
