Acceptance of Reparation Plan Urged hv Premier Llod George Declares Claim Against Germany as Formu lated by Supreme Coun cil Is Righteous One. By The AnUt4 Fr. Birmingham. Eng., Feb. 6. Tbe Critish premier's advise to Germany i to accept the bill for reparations as. formulated by tTie supreme coun cil. "Our claim is a righteous one and we must enforce it," hc declared in :i speech here. He replied to the speech in the Reichstag by Dr. Walter Simons, in which the Ger ir.au foreign minister stated that the . l 1.1 .. V. i reparations piu cuuiu uvi uc v crptcd by Germany as a bsis for ne gotitions. "A great part of this speech," the premier said, "was based on a com plete misconception of what has been l-ne at Paris. Such misconception could be cleared up in the London conference. If a full bill were sent iermany according to the Versailles treaty, she would be compelled to accept it. but I fail to see how that would improve matters and I advis? Dr. Simons to take the Paris bill. "If he has any alternative propos ?'. the allies are prepared to con- i sider, them as long as the proposal represents a bona fide effort to liaui (!ste the liabilities pf Germany. We j r.-e willing that Germany should pay t's under conditions which best suit 1'rr own means, requirements and re sources, but if it is a mere attempt ! to evade payment, we cannot put up with that." ' The premier pointed out before the hi election he had emphasized that Germany was morally bound to pay f-r the wanton damage she had in flicted, but that one could only get from a debtor what the latter was croable of paying. j Germany, he said, had not yet been j taxed to the level of Great Britain j and France, and it was intolerable j that a country held responsible for; t!'e war and which had suffered n3 damage, should have a lighter bur den than her victims. v Noveltv Acts Make "Hip.

Saturday morning, fortified by a breakfast of jail faje, the cx-gob started out to look for a job. He searched all day long visiting all the employment agencies, stop ping at private houses asking for work and at the restaurants declar ing a willingness to wash dishes for something to eat. They all turned him down. There was nothing doing. Desperate, he went inn the. Cali fornia restaurant on Douglas street shortly after 7 last night and ordered a 55-cent meal. After he had finished he told the Chinese proprietor he was "broke" and asked him to call the police. The Chinese called city detectives, who arrested Ackerman on the pro prietor's complaint.' He was taken to jail. John Berger, attorney, who heard of Ackerman's plight, went to the resturant and paid the S5 cents and the proprietor agreed not to prose cute. "I wouldn't have had him arrest ed," the proprietor said, "if he hadn't eaten such a big meal." Berger offered to go Ackerman's bond. "No, I'll stay in here, it's nice and warm and I'll get something to eat tomorrow, then I'll start for hom; Monday morning." Ackerman said. Ackerman's case will be brought to the. attention of the American Le gion today. .
