PLEBISCITE ON
PEACE TERMS IS
PLANQF ENEMY
Refusal to Accept Treaty Is
Expected If Negotiations
On Terms Is Denied By
Allied Mission.
Berlin. April 22. (By The Asso
ciated Press.) Appurtenances for
an election arc all in readiness for
in immediate plebiscite on the peace
terms, according; to information ob
tained from sources close to the gov
ernment !
Preparations have been going on
secretly for several days, it is de
clared, and if tha terms are pub
lished one morning the referendum
can be taken the next day and the
answer ca.n go to the entente 48
hours later. It is asserted that the
only probable chance of an affirma
tive answer would be in ease there
is an agreement to negotiate details
of the terms. Thus, if an indemnity
is fixed, Germany cannot hope, to
dispute the total but must be al
lowed to send experts to' discuss
way$ and means of payment, it is
said. -
It is declared that the cabinet
wishes to avoid the responsibility of
either refusing or accepting the
terms.
Therefore, a plebiscite is almost
certain. It is believed that the re
sult will be a refusal to accept the
peace terms because the people will
overlook the consequences of such
an act the maintenance of the
blockade, the stoppage of food im
portations and the - accompanying
evils which may . be expected in
view of their reluctance to sanction
harsh terms. It is asserted that an
agreement to negotiate the details of
the treaty is absolutely the' only
basis upon which Germany in her
present mood will vpte in the af
firmative. ,

State Honors Arbor Day
Instituted By Nebraskan
Nearly All States in the Union Follow "Nebraska's Own
Holiday" First Called by J. Sterling Morton in 1872
Banks and Public Buildings Closed.
Yesterday was Arbor day, set
aside as a legal holiday by act of the
Nebraska legislature. It was "Ne
braska's own holiday," because it
was instituted by J. Sterling Mor
ton, Nebraska pioneer and at one
time United States secretary of
agriculture.
Mr. Morton's home in Nebraska
City was called Arbor Lodge. In
1872 the custom of planting trees
and shrubs on a certain designated
day of the year was instituted, prin
cipally through the ettorts of Mr.
orton.
Other states followed until now
nearly all the states have Arbor
days. The date varies in different
states but most of them observe
some definite day in the latter part
of April or early part of May. In
some states it is a legal holiday and
in others it is not.
All banks, the court house, city
hall, federal building and public li
brary were closed. In the after
noon the railroad offices were closed.
The school children had special
exercises, .teachers read and relat
ed stories of the life of J. Sterling
Morton and the children planted
trees and bushes in the school yards.
The Miller Park Mothers' club
followed its annual custom of plant
ing a tree in the yard of the Miller
Park school.
Nurserymen say that a consider
able number of trees and bushes are
beinsr set out this sorinir. The
ground, moistened by plenty of rain,
is in excellent condition for arbori
culture and the promise "of a wet
spring and summer makes this a
favorable year to get the young trees
started.
The day was overshadowed, how
ever, by the Victory Liberty loan
activities. The fact that it was a
holiday brought out the workers for
the loan in bigger numbers than
ever.
"The day was instituted," District
Judge Day pointed out, "when Ne
braska was just emerging from the
"great American desert" idea. The
plains of our state were absolutely
treeless. All that has been changed,
largely as a result of Arbor day. To
day you can't look far across those
pains . without seeing luxuriant
groves of trees. They line the banks
of all the streams. They are very
largely responsible for our wonder
ful climate and bountiful crops.
, "We have plenty of trees now. In
fact, I had to cut down two big ones
on my own property this spring."

'An army of 7,000,000 men was planned money was
appropriated for a storm-cloud of aeroplanes fac

As a result Germany was forced to capitulate. Her
spies told her further resistance was hopeless.
Our unparalleled flood of money saved at least
200,000 lives, 500,000 wounded and $30,000,000,000,
