Key to Peace
in Germany
Reparations Should Be Based
n on Country’s Capacity to
a Pay, American Obser
“ ver Says.
Eustice Out of Question
By MARK SULLIVAN.
They say that Germany "hasn’t
paid" or "isn't paying" or "won't
pay." You hear that everywhere,
especially in France, from all those
who support the theory of strong
measures toward Germany.
Then you come to Germany, and
perfectly sincere Germans, speaking
in complete good faith, tell you what
immense sums Germany has paid;
and ask you, with highly emotional
ind.gnaticn, to look on this, which
Germany has given up, and on that,
and on the other.
And both sides are right. The con
cision lies in the fact, to state It
paradoxically, that what the allies,
especially France, have got 1s not
equal to what Germany has paid. The
Germans think they have done their
best, that they have strained them
selves to the point of ruin. But the
allies, on their part, say they haven't
received any considerable amount of
reparations; and France points to her
ruins, which she Is restoring from
her own pocket, and toward which
the Germans have contributed com
paratively nothing.
The explanation Is that when the
Germans talk about it they think In
terms of what they have given up.
But when the French talk about It
they think in terms of what they
have got.

Forged Draft to Cover
Losses.
An alleged forged check for $12,
given In payment for shirts and neck
ties which were to be a present to
her sweetheart Saturday, resulted in
the arrest of Miss Anna Fennern, 25,
202 South Thirty-seventh street, on
a charge of forgery, involving more
than $2,100. All of the bogus checks
except one for $55 were passed this

Miss Fennern had merchandise
charged to the account of Mrs. Emma
S. Edgerly, 5110 Cuming street, with
whom she made her home two years

surance adjuster. 1029 Park avenue,
advertised for an office girl with a
knowledge of stenography. Miss Fen
nern answered It. She waa employed
by Mr. Dickey.

Mr. Dickey explained to her that
his former stenographer had the
power of attorney, enabling her to
sign his checks during his absences
from the city, but that this power
had been stopped by the bank.
From then on Mr. Dickey gave no
thought to his checking account and
was surprised to be notified Monday
by the bank that his account was
overdrawn. He Investigated, but, ac
cording to police, Miss Fennern In
formed the bank that the error bad

would be covered.
She Is alleged to have then forged
a draft on the Chicago office of Mr.
Dickey's firm for $1,000 and depoalted
It to his account to cover the short

withdrawn by Miss Fennern.

tion about the draft cam# from the
office of the firm and Mr. Dickey

tional hank assisted and the forgeries
were discovered. Miss Fennern was
given until Monday morning at 9 to

Action Business Matter
The wheat buying movement being
promoted by a Joint committee of the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce and
the Omaha Grain exchange already
has stimulated the market, according
to statements by grain men at a meet
ing of the committee yesterday noon
in the Chamber of Commerce.
The committee will endeavor to ob
tain co-operation of other grain cent
ers and chambers of commerce in
the wheat growing district.
Former Gov. P. R. McKelvle at
tended the meeting and was asked
for an expression on this movement
which he endorses, although believ
ing it is only an emergency measure
of relief.
Is Matter of Business.
“We should not give the impression
that the farmer is insolvent. The
purchase of wheat should be on the
basis of a business proposition; that
it is a safe investment and will be
worth more later." Mr. McKelvle
said. "It is not quoted now at Its
real value. The farmer who holds his
wheat will be handsomely paid. Get
across the idea that the person who
buys wheat is not engaging in a
dangerous venture."
Members of the committee reported
that the wheat buying movement is be
ing reflected in the quotations, the
effect being felt here and at other
markets. Export buying is on 1 cent
better basis than the bids received a
week ago and the week on the local
grain market closed stronger than the
opening.
Governor McKelvle stated that
there is a strong disposition to hold
on to wheat, although it was admitted
by some members that many farmers
for financial reasons are required to
sell their wheat at an early date.
Relief Is Foreseen.
Grain exchange members of the
Joint committee expressed their opln
ion that this movement will be com
municated to other grain centers and
that the buying of wheat will he stim
ulated to a degree that will bring
considerable relief to the farmers.
George A. Roberts of the Grain ex
change stated that the movement is
meeting with wonderful success, add

Omaha Pack of “Wolf Cubs” Gives Snappy “Cub” Salute
Pledging Their Unswerving Loyalty to God and Country
New Organization Is Training
School for Younger Lads
Who Want to Become
Boy Scouts.
A-kela-Wee-ee-U do-oo-o o o u u r

That's the pfcck howl of the wolf
cube, the English Junior organization
of boy scouts, which has Just been
introduced Into the United States.
Omaha Is one of the four cities In the
country that can boast of a pack of
the Wolf Cubs. The other three are
Detroit. New York and Seattle.
The Wolf Cub system offers the
small boy under 12 years of age, the
youngest a lad may be admitted to
the boy scouts according to scout law,
an elemenary school in which to pre
pare himself for the higher order. It
is the boy scout organization on a
smaller and less strenuous scale, the
Wolf Cubs taking Into their parks
youngsters from 8 to 12 years of age.
Smaller Boys Want In.
Dads of this age, according to local
scout officials, are continually trying
to squeeze into a scout troop, with the
result that when a few do become
scouts, the older ones begin to lose
enthusiasm and interest in the ac
tivities. They do not like to play
with the younger lads. What high
sohool boy of 17 or 18 can Interest
himself in the thoughtless pranks of
the grade school lad of 10 or 11?
The junior scout organization,
known as the Wolf Cubs had Its be
ginnings in England four years ago
and Is officially linked with the scout
Here are four representatives of an
Omaha Wolf Cub pack demonstrating
their howl.
When tlie oubmaster comes on pa
rade, the rubs salute him by squat

throwing back their heads in the
movement of that country. Today It
la estimated that there are 10,000
"cubs” In London. At the last an

Omaha Among First.
Th« Introduction of the Wolf Cubs
into Omaha Is due to Earle A. Stir
ling, assistant scoutmaster of Troop
31 for eight years. Two years ago
Mr. Stirling conceived the Idea of a
Junior scout troop In which the
younger boys might be taught the
essentials of how to live up to the boy
scout motto, “Be prepared." Accord
ingly, he organized the Brothers of
David In September of 1921.
Later, in February, 1922, after the
English organization had been
brought to his attention, the Brothers
of David were Incorporated Into the
Wolf Cubs, with laws and organiza
tion similar to the British order.
There are now 50 Wolf Cubs In
Omaha, composing five packs. They
have a temporary summer camp In
the Florence woods on grounds pro
vided through the courtesy of Byron
R. Hastings, Omaha real estate man,
who Is a member of the advisory
board of the organization.
The cubs spend every weekend at
the camp, 31 to defray food expenses
being the only charge. The pro
gram and management of the camp Is
much the same as that of the scout
camp at Gifford. The camp Is su
