Reparation Plan
Is Expected to
Bring Protest
Experts at Washington Not
Enthusiastic About Repara
tion Plan Adopted by Allied
Supreme Council.
Chirac Tribune-Omaha Rm I.etl Wire.
Washington, Jan. 3. Hie definite
fixation of the financial reparations
to be paid by Germany vill, in the
opinion of America:: government
officials and financial and economic
experts, contribute more than al
most any other factor toward bring
ing about the financial rehabilitation
of the world. But authorities here
are not optimistic regarding the re
sult of the plan approved by the su
preme council of the allies at Paris
tor a determination of the German
debt.
It is the best opinion in informed
official circles here that the repara
tions plan approved at Paris isan
important step in the right direction,
that of reaching a definite agreement
at the earliest possible tune relative
to the1 amount that Germany can
reasonably be expected to pay. But
it is not the conviction of officials
who have given close study to the fi
nancial and economic consequences of
the Paris peace conference that the
allied powers have yet reached the
point of a financial settlement with
Germany such as that nation and the
rest of the world can regard as pos
sible of being accepted as constipat
ing a permanent plan.
Germany May Refuse.
There is grave doubt here that
Germany will accept the Paris plan
o settlement, although it is recog-
nued m Washington that the trench
government has gone as far toward
making financial concessions as is
possible at this time without forcing
a crisis for the Briand cabinet and
its overthrow. On the other hand,
it is the confident expectation here
that the German government will
object vigorously to the latest plan
of the allied premiers, on the plea
that the amounts fixed for payment
exceed the extent of Germany's
ability to pay and could not be ac
cepted by the present Berlin gov
ernment without threatening the out
break of a new German revolution
and the overthrow of the Ebert gov
ernment. The agreement viewed from the
standpoint of a striking ! recession
from the original French position
respecting what v Germany should
pay, is viewed invinforYned quarters
here as an important step in the
right direction. But federal experts
who have made, a thorough study of
the whole question of Germany's
ability to pay insist that the settle
ment just reached cannot be accept
ed as final or fundamental.
Further Recession Necessary.
As the conviction m higli admin
istration circles Jiere is that Ger
many is unable to pay more than a
principal of $10,000,000,000 and as
this level has not been reached in the
recessions made by the French in
their effort to reach an agreement at
Paris yesterday, it is insisted by
men qualified to understand the sit
uation that there must, when French
public opinion is ripe for it, be still
further recession until the sum that
Germany can be pesitively expected
to pay has been definitely fixed. -v
lt;was pointed out by one of the
federal expertsthat the greatest dif
ficulty in the situation will be that
of finding a market for Germany's
bonds until the . Investors of the
world are confident that the settle
ment has been made on a fair and
lasting basis. Whatever the final
sum agreed upon between;, Germany
and the allies, there must be a flota
tion of bonds based on the German
reparations settlement and effort, of
course, will he- made to dispose of
them throughout the world, and
especially among American inves
tors. .

Minnesota Power Dam
Destroyed by Blast
' s
St. Cloud," - Minn., Jan. 31, The
Cold Springs dam at Cold Springs,
about 20 miles from here, was prac
tically destroyed by an explosion to
day. A section of the dam 20 feet
wide was torn out and two turbines
at the Cold Spring Power company's
plant were put out of commission.
No estimate of the damage was
available. The village of Cold
Spring will be without light and
power for several days. Officials
said about 100 pounds of dynamite
apparently had been used. A reward
of $2,000 has been offered by the
village for capture and conviction of
those who caused the explosion.
The dam has been the cause of
court action since 1856 when it was
built, -objections being voiced to it
on the ground that 1,000 acres of
land were damaged by water backed
up by the dam.
Coast Points Recovering
From Terrific Windstorm
San Francisco, Jan. 31. Northern
Pacific coast points were recovering
from , a storm which raged last night

Wind at the mouth of the Colum
bia river reached a maximum velo
city of 150 miles, according to an of
ficial estimate made at the weather
bureau station, at North Head, on the
Washington state side of the river's
mouth. North Head reported to the
San Francisco bureau that when the
gale reached 132 miles an hour, it
destroyed the instrument used to
register the wind's velocity.
At Tatoosh, near Cape Flattery,
the velocity was reported at 110
miles an hour maximum.

VanderJip Says
War Indemnity
Is Prohibitive
New York Financier Says
Present Figures Are Be
yond Germany's Ca
pacity to Pay.
Chimin Tribuue-Omalia He I.'Hurll ,Vlrr.
New York, Jan. 31. "Germany
will never be able to pay the war
indemnity fixed by the allies," Frank
A. Vandcrlip, hanker and financier,
declared in an interview.1-
"If the allies should insist on Ger
many attempting to carry out the ar
rangements made in Paris, the Ger
man children in the future would not
thank Herbert Hoover lor keeping
them from starving to death now," he
saul.
"There scents to be no question
that 221,000,000,000 marks is beyond
the Germans' capacity to pay. They
might be able to meet their obliga
tions up to 3,000,000,000 marks a
vear. P.ut it is hardlv possible they
could pay the 6,000,000,000 marks an
nuity provided for in the final period
of 31 years and I doubt if thev could
avoid defaulting in the 4,000,000,000
marks period.
'The total wealth of Germany be
fore the war, according to tile last
available figures, was around $20,-
000,000.000. which is nominally about
80,000,000,000 marks. Since then not
only has-that country's industrial life
been totally disorganized, but it has
lost valuable territories.
"Entirely aside from Germany's
ability to pay, however, the effect
of a prohibitive indemnity upon the
allies themselves and their associates
should be considered. It would be
certain to disorganize the whole in-
, ilustria! lite of Europe and seriously
I affect the United Stales and other
! countries.
I "Germany naturally will have to
pay in goous anu mat means ner
former enemies will be forced into
competition with low priced manu
factured articles. Germany would be
so poor herself that she could not
be considered as a market for the
goods of other countries."
Thomas W. Lamont of J. P.
Morgan & Co., who was a member
of the reparations commission of the
American delegation at the peace
coiiferer.ee said:
"As the total amount now pro
posed it would appear not to vary
greatly from the Mini that was pro
posed at Paris by most of. the Amer
ican delegation. $25,000,000,000 or
30,000,000.000 marks as a capital
sum. Adding interest to that total
probably would about reach the
figure of 56.000.000,000.
"The early installments were at
the rate of 2,000.000,000 marks gold
per annum. 'Wiis does not sound
like an unreasonable sum, or at
least it would probably not have
proved so if the total amount of in
demnity had been fixed in the Ver
sailles treaty as the American dele
gation so urgently proposed and if
Germany had then been able imme
diately to address here economic
life definitely to the task before
her."

Tokio, Jan. 31. Regardless of the
United Stales naval program, the
Japanese program requires comple
tion of the eight battleship and eight

minister of the navy, in responding
to an interpellation by Lieutenant
General Uchara, chief df staff, as to
Japan's view of Senator Borah's reso
lution concerning a'cessation of war
ship construction. Japan's naval con
struction plan, however, he said, need
not be carried out with the United
States as an imaginary enemy.
lie declared Japan's naval comple
tion was inaugurated a decade ago
and was borne of imperative neces
sity. Even if completed, he said,
wide margin would remain between
the naval strength of Japan and
other powers.
War Minister Tanaka said Japan's
forces had been organized to insure
the safety of her territorial rights.
It was true, he declared neither Rus
sia nor China could now menace
Japan.
Any effective plan of defense,
however, he added must pre-suppose
the necessity of operations between
Japan's frontiers.

( "From earliest days, far countries . f
traded their medicaments" jJ
FROM wild, remote and almost inaccessible corners of the
earth, where nature seems to hide her best remedies for
human ills, come the principal ingredients of Vicks VapoRub,
a standby in a million homes. This famous formula was
worked out twenty-five years ago by a North Carolina drug
gist. In seeking a treatment for spasmodic croup that would
avoid the usual dosing with nauseating drugs, he found a
way to administer medication by inhalation and absorption.
TRUGGIST Lunsford Richardson
was soon making this remedy
for his friends, a few dozen jars at a
time, in the back room of his drug
store. He named it Vicks VapoRub.
It was found that Vicks was
good not only for croup, but that
it was just as effective against
congestions or colds of nose, throat
and chest against skin hurts and
itchings against various k bodily
aches and pains.
Year by year, state by state, the
reputation of Vicks has spread,
until today over 17 million jars are
used yearly. The demand in
creases constantly. Vicks is sold
by every drug store in the land
by general stores in lonely moun
tain coves by plantation stores in
the far south by logging camp
commissaries in the remote north
west all have a place on their
shelves for the familiar blue jar.
What is the secret of this mar
velous growth?
The answer is in the formula
the ingredients brought by ships
that sail the seven seas and com
bined by the exclusive Vick process.
The romance of these ingredients
is a story that takes you around
the world, for Vicks contains Cam
phor from Formosa; Menthol from
Japan; Oil of Nutmeg from the
Dutch East Indies; Oil of Euca
lyptus from Australia: Oil of Juni
per Tar from Africa; Oil of Thyme
from Southern France; Oil of
Turpentine from Dixie, and other
much-esteemed - essential oils.
Knowing this, when you again
pick up your blue jar of Vicks, in
hale its grateful vapors, picture the
remote lands, the toil, and peril of
gathering its ingredients, and real
ize morethan ever what a valuable
store of medication it contains.
