ALLIES REFUSE REPATRIATION REQUEST OF FOE Assure German Peace Delega tion of Purpose to Treat War Prisoners With Full Consideration. A Paris, May 22. (By the Asso ciated Press.) In reply to the Ger man peace delegation's request for repatriation of prisoners of war the allies assure the Germans that they are ready to do everything possible to repatriate Germaji prisoners of war and interned civilians properly fed and "in good condition after the conclusion of peace. They regret, however, that the present demands on them from the territories re cently liberated from the German yoke, as well as from their own na tionals, will probably make it im possible for them to supply the pris oners of war with clothing, "etc., for which the German delegation asks. In conclusion, the allies say they will be glad to set up a commission to deal with the repatriation ot pris oners of war, immediately after peace is signed, but do not see their wav to aoDOint a commission until they are notified of the intention of the plenipotentiaries ot the uerman government to sign peace. The allies' reply to the German note regarding the league of na tions, which was delivered today, says in general that the council considers that "the proposals for the covenant are much more prac ticable than those of the German government . and better calculated to secure the objects of the league." A categoric negative reply to the German note on , the economic ef feet on the peace terms, was sent by the allied council to the Oerman delegation today, lhe reply char acterizes tne Oerman note as ex aggerated and says that it indicates failure to appreciate the enormity of the Germans responsibility. Reply in Five Sections. Berlin, May 22. The German re ply to the allied peace terms will be in five sections dealing with political and territorial issues, the league of nations and financial and economic questions. The notes already transmitted to the allied and associated powers, the Germans believe, will afford a basis for negotiations on some of these questions and also may serve as suggesting a way over obstacles in the way of negotiations on the peace treaty. Want Men Trained In Public Service for Health Commissioners The Nebraska State Medical asso ciation went on record as favoring the appointment of health officers trained in public service, at its 51st annual convention, which closed at Lincoln Wednesday. These health commissioners are to be appointed by cities and counties of the state. This recommendation was made by the association with the hope of securing better men to nil health commissioner positions in Nebraska cities and towns, according to Dr. J. M. Aiken, secretary and treasurer of the association. It is Dr. Aiken s contention that men should be appointed with re spect to their ability and not their location. "The association desires to elimi nate petty policies from such ap pointments," explained Dr. Aiken. "Even now there is a man of great ability willing to take the health commissioner job, but he is being objected to by some of our city com missioners, who favor a local man, "There are men,, even in our pro fession, who are seeking political ap pointments, but the better element of our profession is for the complete elimination of politics."

For Joyous Home-Coming. Governor McKelvie. in discussing the plans tor the welcome, said: We had to plan this welcome in a hurry. I am sorry that we did not have more time.

Camp Funston, have done everything possible to make the home-coming as joyous as possible. "I plan to visit the cantonments near New York while the men are here.
