SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 22, 1923, «** ^"S:_FIVE CENTS j Berlin Asks Board to Fix Indemnity "A -- Government Decides to Sub mit Another Reparations Proposal Following Spe cial Cabinet Meeting. Officials Are Optimistic By I’nivenal Service. Berlin, April 21.—Germany will make A new reparations offer. This is practically a certainty, after Lord • 'urzon's speech, which is featured ~ #nd commented upon at great length ; in all newspapers in Germany today, i It is apparent that Chancellor Cuno | v and, Herr Kosenberg no longer can! resist the pressure from Washington and London that Germany take the initiative with a new offer. Added to this is the strong pressure being exerted through Curzon by the po litical patties of Germany to the same end. This attitude was, in effect, the de cision of the special meeting of -the ! cabinet called by llcrr Cuno today to consider the ttolicy of the govern-! rnent following Curzon’s speech. When the session ended at noon something like a wave of optimism swept Wilhelmstrasse. Instructions were issued immediately to the heads "f all departments which have to do with the problem of reparations to work out the outline of a new offer along the lines directed by Herr ♦Kosenberg. Drafting New Offer. Within an hour the foreign office was like a beehive, department chiefs, working under high pressure to get the proposals sufficiently in shape so i lhat Herr Itosenberg can submit Germany's new offer to the reichstag 'oieignr relations committee w hicn must- approvs it at the meeting ten tatively called for Tuesday.

Dr. Haupt declared that over rating was the principal cause of the haggard appearance of many “modern soddessea” at the age of 25. "A study of mythology shows,” said Dr. Haupt, “that the gods and god desses never ate and remained, in con sequence, perpetually youthful. When a god or goddess wanted a meal he hovered over a burning sacrifice and inhaled the fumes from a roasting bullock. That satisfied him. “Now our modern goddesses are fad ing before our eyes because they can not tame their desire for food.” Dr. Karl Connell Is Presented With D. S.

Omaha on List of Harding Dates President Almost Certain to Stop Here—Sioux City Is Considered. By UnOlUiK K. AlTHIKIt, V\ axliington Correspond rut The Omulm lire. Washington. April 21.—President Harding's itinerary will almost cer tainly include Omaha on. his western swing, but it hus not been determined whether it will include Lincoln. It had l**en proposed that the president, in addition to Omaha, would speak at Lincoln or some other Nebraska point, but Just now \t is being sug gested that he drop his proposed sec ond speaking trip In Nebraska and Include Sioux City. Advocates of the speaking date at Sioux City point out that lie would, in this way, address a farming sec | tion which would directly touch the three states of Iowa, South Dakota | and Nebraska and reach over into a I portion of Minnesota. The president is being overwhelmed with Invitations to s|ieak in various | sections, some of th»* invitations in , eluding such suggestions as the open f ing of amusement parks and starting j corn shows, 'inasmuch as the presi dent's time w ill he limited, he will itim to include those centers of popu j la tion which will bring him the larg ! rst contact with voters. i,-, n I t A Lot For a Little Every one has at some time thought of buying a lot —perhaps for a home, perhaps for nn investment.

Borah Tells Cecil Views > on League * - % Lord Robert Discusses Ques tion of American Entry W.ith President and Senator From Idaho. - , Harding Silent on Issue By Anno'-iatt-il Press. Washington, April 21 —Lord Rob ert Cecil presented directly today to President Hording and Senator Borah of Idaho his explanation of the league of nations, its achievements and its hopes. The noted British exponent of the league, who for nearly a month has been advocating the league cause in public addresses in the United States, had breakfast with Senator Borah, one of the leaders of the irreconcil able group in the senate fight over the treaty of Versailles and then went to the White House where he had half an hour’s conference with President Harding. The impression made by Lord Robert's presentation on the presi dent was in no wise revealed, the White House issuing no statement after the call and Lord Robert con fining his comment to the assertion that he had had a pleasant discus sion with Mr. Harding. Senator Borah, however, i - - ued a formal statement which, while not directly setting forth the impression left by the conversations, declared the senator bad told lsird Roliert that the vast majority of the American people were uncompromisingly op posed to joining any plan or league which would involve America In European politics. \rrangcd by Henry White. Roth of the conferences were at ranged by llenry Wfiite. former American ambassador to France' and one of the American eon missloners at the Versailles pence conference, who is entertaining Ixird Robert while lie is in Washington. At breakfast Senator Bornh was a guest at tbe White home, and Mr. White, accom panied laird Robert to the White House. * Whether Lord Robert’s con versa tlon with President Harding touched upon the permanent court of interna tinn justice, an agency of the league of nations, in which trlbiftial Mr. Harding proposes that the United States accept membership, wns not disclosed, but the assumption wssthat this formed a major subject of'dis cussion during the half hour's con ference. The International eourt matter con tinued to pfi-ss« forward as i matter bf discussion among republican lead ers In the capital and indications in creased during the day that the presi dent had decided to mAke. within the next few (jays, a pronouncement of the administration's stand itt favor of American adhesion People Oppose Plan. ■Senator Borah, in making his statement with relation to h 1 h confer ence with Lord Robert, said he did so in order "that a significance unwar ranted by the facts" might not lie at tached to the meeting. "I must not lie understood, of course, as assuming to state Lord Robert's views nor construing Ins league ideas," said Senator Borah. "But I do not miud saying that 1 stated to him frankly that In my opinion the %asf majority of our ! people were uncompromisingly op posed to joining any plan or league l which would Involve us in European j politico—in other words that a poli tical organization or an organization Which could lie dominated or directed j or controlled by the political forces 1 would never be accepted by our propA- And if some plan eotild not be worked out wholly different from a political organisation that it would die safer for Europe to proceed upon I the theory that the United Htates would not be a party to it.

John Bull Refuses Aid in Rjim War British (Government Holds Freedom of Seas Higher Than American Law in Re ply to Requestg of U. S. Drastic Action Planned Ity I iilv*-rnnl Service, * Washington, April 21.—Tlie British giv-rnment has flatly declined to aid the United States in suppressing the I rum traffic, the State Department announced today. ' Backed in the effort to sweep the liquor fleet from the high seas through diplomatic exchanges, the president Immediately set in motion more drastic measures. Acting upon instructions from the White House, Dry Commissioner Haynes called a conference made up of ajl government agencies interested in law enforcement. It was decided that liquor smug gling can be suppressed in only one way—by employing as many light, swift naval craft as may be needed to build a wall between the liquor ships and shore. This plan, it is stated, has the ap proval of I'residi-nt Harding and the cabinet, who had before them the British notes. In th<se the British let it be known that they put the ‘ traditional freedom of the h.gh seas" above the ^iiM;ran law and would not consent for ships of this nation j to interfere with Britishers outside i the three-mile limit. Send New Bequests. As a rejoinder the Ktate department has sent new notes asking that the British withdraw registry of ves sels under their flag when it is known that the ships are engaged in ; the rum traffic and that th4 owner ship is part American. The'y also j made the request that the British government ahd colonies deny clear ance of ships with a liquor cargo | that may be destined for American : euruunintr n The British have not replied M this and diplomatic experts believed the they would decline to agree to the American proposal, eyen should a rp ply lie made. The State department made public the progress of efforts to stop rum running in a letter to Clarence True Wilson of the be ifd f temp- ranee of the Methodist Kptaerpal church. Dr. Wilson complained that the United States had the right to search and seize- ships upon the high seas under the provisions of the slave treaties. Back Jurisdiction. Secretary Hughes pointed out that the United Stat-s acquired the right to search and seize ships on the high -- s a- a r tit of a sis ifle treaty with th- British. The same right was ceded by the Unit*sl States. In case of seizure the ships were to be brought to the nearest American port *r turned over to an American cruiser If of American registry. If British they were turned over to the British. Secretary Hughe* pointed out that ibe Brit.-h had spei lth-ally declined in enter into inch an arrangement regarding ahtpa suspected of having , liqtior alKMrd. He added that the United States was without sufficient Jurisdiction to handle such case* even - tumid the Brtiish agree, as there Is no law touching the subject. In addition he enclosed copies of the stave treaties to contradict the view (.of Dr. Wilson that there Is already sufficient precedent f-r this govern ment "to mt independently.
