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

From Crops. Purchase Bonds
Fdmotiton. Aita.. lea. 6. t arn:
e-s of Alberta are buying bonds, as a
r'suit of the prosperitv due to a
bumoer grain crop.; With wheat
moving to a market, farmers have
become the most numerous purchas
ers of the provincial government's
domestic bond isrue. Local bank
ers declare they tspect the remain
irg portion of the issue to be taken
hv rural investors.
The bond issue was offered by the
governemut as an experiment to sec i
whether money for the provincial,
feasury coulC be raised at home, i
Former issues of larger amount had I
Veen taken by bend dealers in the:
csst. This time an opportunity was
given provincial buyers with an is--je
of $1,000,000. This has been
more than helf subscribed. The
bonds are in denominations of $100.
$500 and $1,000 and bear interest at
6 per cent.
The interest 'the farmers have
shown in the bonds has made this
domestic plan successful and the gov
ernment, it is said, proposes to make
domestic bond issues a permanent
feature of its financial policy in the
future.

"Hie and Barrel of Apples Lead to

Wearing a nice, shiny star, the
badge of a special officer for the

a revolver so large that police called
it a "twin six," M. Glassman, 11 Hi
Davenport street, was rolling a bar
rel of apples along the sidewalk at
Twelfth and Daverpbrt streets, Sat
urday night, ...
All went well until the barrel stuck
in the snow. As Glassman stooped
over to clear awav the obstruction,
he let out a "hie." The "hie" was
his undoing, for City Detectives
George Jjummitt and Bob Munch,
who were passing, heard it.
"There's a bird, that's had a drop
too much," Detective Summitt said.
"Let's give him the once over."
The detectives did so and after
questioning Glassman they conclud
ed that he had come by the apples
unlawful!.
"I bought these apples at a grocery
store at Sixteenth and Cuming
streets. I paid $12.50 for them," the
man said. '
Taken to Station.
The detectives took Glassman
back to the grocery store and the
proprietor said, "i haven't had a bar
rel of apples in my store for months."
Glassman was taken to the police
station, protesting his innocence.

For "Missing Link" Proof
New York, Feb. 6. Scientists
headed by Roy Chapman Andrews,
will carry on an organized search
for the "missing link" in Asia for a
5-year period, beginning next Feb

it is planned to bring back' to New
York "the greatest natural history
collection the world has even seen."
It is hoped to return with rare an
telopes, wild horses, new types of
camels, wild asses, long-haired ti
gers, enormous yak, snow lepers,
giant pandas, golden monkeys with
upturned noses, the golden-fleeced
takin and many other strange beasts.
The. American Museum or Natural
history, which sponsors the explora
tions, announced that its associates
are the, American Asiatic society and
the Asia Magazine. The three will
finance the expedition, with the he!?
of private contributions from Mrs.

Price of Meal:
Locked in Jail
Former Sailor, Penniless and
Hungry, Orders 35-Cent Din
ner; Restaurant Proprie
tor Causes Arrest.
Harry Ackerman, Jaunita, Neb,, a
fireman on the U. S. S. "Minneap
olis," during the world war, came to
Omaha Friday to look for . work.
Saturday he wa3 in' jail, driven there
by hunger and the need of 55 cents,
and ordered a 55-cent meal.
Ackerman made a futile search for
work Friday and Friday night was
given permission to sleep in the city
jail. 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. .

It's Not a Crime
To Be Thin, But-j
it'a really embarraeeing to be ao thin that
people, speak of you as being "akinny."
After all, it'a not necessary to be either
thin, weak or anemic Moat any man or

strength, endurance and vitality can do
it in a few week by getting a package of
Blood Iron Phospate from Sherman-McCon-neD
Di-ujr Co., or any othrr good druggist,
and taking as directed. Thia increases the
red blood cells, strengthens tbe nervoua
ayatem and thus helps to quickly over
come those troubles, such aa thinness,
anemia, neurasthenia, sleeplessness and
physical weakness due to or accompanied
by impoverished blood and weak nerves.
Blood-Inn Phosphate costs only 11.50 for
a three weeks' treatment, and ia so genu
inely good that thfe druggist of whom you
buy it is authorized to refund the full price

whether the Winslow railroad relief

Thereafter, Representative Hud
dleston. democrat, Alabama, opposed
to the Winslow measure, took more
or less charge of proceedings, and a
score of republicans were on his
neck at times in an effort to prevent
