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.
In effect the following is the out
bne of Germany's new offer as it
1" Wed at the closing of the cabinet
meeting today:
1. Germany once more solemnly de
rm res "it, wiliiugnos to asm me the
ijties of reparations to which it ob
ligated itself when Is signed the
'r.-tty of Versailles, hut calls' atten
tlon to the fact that the Versatile*
treaty specifically states that Her!
many's capacity'to pay shall-be taken
into consideration.
2. In view f the circumstances of
the present chaotic financial and i
• conomic conditions throughout the |
country, Germany feels that it can
only make a •‘minimum" offer, as It
s'es its capacity to pay under the
existing existing conditions, and lhat t
that is 20,000,000,000 gold marks.
Commission to Fix Amount.
A definite and final determina
tion of the utmost limits of Germany's ;
capacity, and the actual sum it shall
pay. to he fixed by an impartial com ,
mission along the lines of the Hughes
plan.
4. German!? unconditionally obli
cutis itself to Accept the verdict and
figures fixed by such a commission.
Germany's own offer of 20.000,
000,000 gold marks, or any greater
-um fixed hv the commission can be
possible only through the medium
nf tin international loan. This inter
national loan is possible to obtain only
through tangible guarantees, but these
shall not be territorial, only indus
trial.
The work of preparing th^so guat
uitees will be taken up during the,
lOiujiyr week. Should German
bunks arid Industries prove obdurate
the government proposes to use legis
lative compulsion.

“Inhale, Don't Eat Food,"
Professor's Secret t of
Perpetual Flapperism
Philadelphia, April 21.—“To stay
young and fresh, don't eat your food
—inhale it." ^
This is the secret of perpetual flap
perism. as imparted to members of
he American Philosophical society by
Dr. Paul Haupt, professor of Semitic
anguages in Johns Hopkins univer
iity.
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.”

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

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.
The big percentage of
us, as we look back on
what we might have had
for a song, regret our pro
crastination in buying.
As Omaha expands,
money invested in property
grows. You can buy a lot
for h little in good sections
of Omaha and suburbs.
There are many opportuni
ties listed in the “Want”

Lord Robert Discusses Ques
tion of American Entry W.ith

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

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

opinion the %asf majority of our

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.
