■fEP TO SHAVE
fINDEMNITY OF
f GERMANY IS ON
•Washington Doubts Ability of
Defeated Nation to Pay
Demands.
TRADE TIEUP IS SEEN
WASHINGTON, June 23.—TUe United
States government quietly has made
known to France and England its be
lief that the two allies can not hope to
collect froui Germany the huge indem
nity proposed at recent conferences of
premiers, it was learned today.
It is understood the American posi
tion has been made known to France and
Great Britain on several occasions in the
form of suggestions from Albert Rath
bone, assistant secretary of the treas
ury and unofficial representative of the
United States on the reparttiocs commis
sion.
At the same time it was emphasized
this government has not tried to
pressure on the allies to be more
lenient in Indemnity matters.
The German indemnity problem is one
of the most serious allied premiers have
had to face because oT the demand of
their peoples that Germany be made to
pay-
Despite the fact that this belief was
somewhat encouraged by European of
ficials Just after the armistice the allied
governments, it is believed here, have
come to a realization that they cannot
collect from Germany to the extent of
their previous expectations.
FAR BELOW
PREVIOUS DEMANDS.
Indemnity figures discussed at the
premiers* conference at Boulogne, ac
cording to unofficial report here, are far
below previous de-mands.
The tentative indemnity figure re
ported to have been put forward at
Boulogne was 120 billion marks.
According to the belief in Washing
ton, the limit that Germany can pay in
reparation is about SO billion marks or
$20,000,000,000 under normal exchange.
To do this even, Germany must be un
restricted in developing anew its in
dustry and commerce, it is declared and
the payment must be stretched over a
period of about thirty years, with the
concession that none of the indemnity
must be liquidated the first two or three
years.
This sum also would include interest
accruing during the period of payment.
ASSUMED AS
GRAND TOTAL.
It la assumed here that the one hun
dred and twenty biilion marks proposed
at Boulogne as Germany’s indemnity
also was the grand total of reparation
for if the interest was not included in
this sum, the figure would be nearly
double.
Included in the argument officials here
advise against insisting on payment :n
full, as the allies can cot afford to make
Germany pay them.
For Germany to pay the sum desired
by the allies she would have to close her
markets, it is held here, to all Imports
the barest necessities, thereby check
ing the exports of the allies, and would
have to export to the limit, making
“dumping grounds" of the allied coun
tries for their goods.
MUCH TALK,
LITTLE ACTION
PARIS, June 23—The latest allied
conference had passed into history to
day without having taken any measures
to settle the problems facing the world
ss a result of the late war.
The question of reparation was left to 1
economic experts of each county, who
wilt meet early in July to draft plans
for submission to the general confer
ence at Spa.
These experts also will consider the
question of disarmament, destruction of
German war material and resumption of
industry.
More British warships will be sent to
the Dardanelles.
A conference to be beld shortly at
Brussels will wo[k out plans for a loan
to aid Germany in economic recovery.
All entente countries will send am
bassadors to Berlin July 1 to replace
mnt representatives who have the
of charges d'affaires.
MUCH TALK
ON RUSSIAN TRADE.
The Boulogne conference devoted much
discussion to the resumption of trade j
relations with Russia.
It was finally agreed that the present
conferences between Krassin and Lloyd
George would continue without any po
litical recognition.
Premier Millerand declared that while
the conference was unanimous on reduc
tion of the German army to 100.000 men,
delay probably Ivould be granted the
Berlin government, as the required re
duction could not be effected by July 10,
as originally required.
The French foreign office issued a
statement declaring that French military
STOMACH WOULD
THUMP FROM GAS
Indianapolis citizen suffered agonies
from gastritis, heartburn, palpi
tation, nervousness* *iead
aches, until Deco Came
to the rescue.
Bays constipation is relieved; nerves
are steady; sleeps sound and
feels like a different
person.
"I know what it is to have gas In
the stomach so bad till it just thumped
and jerked and I know also that the
only relief I got was from Drero.” said
Mr. Walter Cox. living on South II-
street. Indianapolis. Ind.
“I was almost a nervous wreck: I
was scared and so was my family when
these spells came on. I'd get terribly
nervous so that I couldn't sleep but
would stay awake for hours rolling
from one side of the bßd to the other,
hearing the clock strike every hour.
“My liver got sluggish, which caused
headaches, dizziness and my skin got
right yellow; I lost my appetite and my
strength was going fast. I had to take
pills or salts most every night, or my
bowels would get bound up and at the
same time, my kidneys were acting too
frc+ly, calling me up during the night.
"I was advised to try the new remedy,
Dreco, as it was helping so many per
sons right near here who suffered like
myself. I did try Dreco and it has
given me grand relief. My bowels be
gan to act like normal; the gas stopped
collecting in my stomach so that re
lieved the palpitation of my heart. My
nerves got steady; the headaches passed
away and my kidneys became regulated;
1m fact Dreco went right after my trou
bles and overcame them. I believe
strongly In Dreco and heartily recom
mend It to sufTerers like myself.”
Dreco does not contain any Iron, mer
cury, potash, acids, nor oils, but is made
from the jnlces and extracts of many
herbal plants, which combine with the
juice* of the etomach very pleasantly
and act on the vital organs.
Dreco is sold by all good druggists

spoils by Clark * Cade's Claypooi Hotel

HUN INDEMNITY *
NOT DECIDED.
Amounts of German indemnity to be
allotted the various allied belligerents
were not decided.
Some solution of the question of iter
allied debts will be sought following re
fuaa! of the United State* to recognize
the pooling plan conceived by the min-
Jsters at the first- Hythe conference.
"Pertinex," political editor of the
Echo de Paris and the foremost polit
ical writer in Europe, says the statesmen
may propose the repudiation of the al
lies' war debts at the Brussels meeting.
Germany's failure to execute clauses
of the treaty of Versailles regarding the
delivery of coal to France is being em
phasized by the French government rep
resentatives and will be considered at
Brussels.

Anew lodge of the Brotherhood of
I Railway Trainmen has been organized

: ties growing out of the ‘‘outlaw’’ swltcb

the strike.
The new lodge is known as Motor City
lodge No. 269.
The 6ame officers are in charge of the
new lodge that had charge of the old
one.
Journeymen plumbers who have been
on strike since April 1 have returned

Buy an Interest in Midwest
and Share in Another Great
Indiana Success
<J When men of the type composing the
Midwest personnel, concentrate on any
business undertaking, history shows that
it almost invariably succeeds in a big way.
<J If the Midwest Engine Company, up to
this point, were merely an idea,' any con
servative investor would be justified in
pooling his money with the millions that
Midwest’s own conservative backers are
putting into it.
If These facts are incontrovertible. Midwest is a tre
mendous GOING business —two big factories in full
operation—products fully established —demand already
far in excess of even Midwest capacity, known, in
cidentally, to be among the largest in the country.
With each two shares of Midwest preferred, which of
itself bears 8% and constitutes an unusually attractive
investment, you get one share of common that costs you
nothing, remains yours permanently, and may reason
ably be expected to become, in time, very valuable.
If In many instances the most careful and successful
type of investor is buying this offering to the full extent
of his ability.

“That looks like the house that Jack
built,” Puss Junior exclaimed, one bright
morning, as he neared a large farm
house. Sure enough, it was, for there
in the meadow close by with the Cow
with the Crumpled Horn, and leaning
against the turnstile at the corner of the
fence was the Maiden All Forlorn.
"Good morning, Miss,” said Puss
Junior. But for answer the maiden be
gan to cr>\
"Don’t do that,” said tenderhearted
Puss. “Don't cry."
“I can’t help 4t,” whimpered the Mald
en Ail Forlorn. "You’d cry, too, if you’d
been kissed by the Man All Tattered and
Torn."
"I suppose his beard did tickle,” said
Puss with a grin.
“Tickle!" exclaimed the Maiden AM
Forlorn, raising her head and looking
at him for the first time, “it scratched!
But where did you come from? You’re
not In Mother Goose’s Nursery Rhymes,"
she added curiously.
"No," he answered proudly, "but Puss
in Boots is Just as wUI known as
Mother Goose. I'm Puss in Boots Jun
ior."
“You’d better look out for the Dog
Thnt Worried the Cat." advised the
Maiden All Forlorn. “He’s asleep on the
back porch. At least he was when I came
out to milk. "Oh, dear!"
‘Don't cry again," said Pus*, Junllor,

"Von e, I am not an ordinary <'at,"
said Juaa Junior.”
"letr me carry your milk pall. I’m not
afraiu of your dog. You sec, I’m not
uu ordinary kind of a cat."
"Os course you're not," she answered
with a smile, as they' curried the pail
between them to the dairy.
"There he Is," she exclaimed, and
Puss Junior saw the Dog That Worried
the Cat stretching himself in the sun.
He paid no attention to them as they
approached. I suppose he thought that
a cat who wore boots nml walked up
right like a man was not to be worried
by a four-legged dog.
But no sooner did the Cat'That Killed
the Rat see Puss Junior than she humped

up her back and meowed in a most dread
ful manner.
“Come, Tabby,” cried the Maiden All
Forlorn, "make friends with Pusg Jun
ior." But Tabby was most impolite, and
even when Puss Junior took off his hat
to her, she gave only a disagreeable
"Meow!" and climbed up the nearest
tree.
"Dr/n’t let her drive you away,’’ said
the Malden All Forlorn as Puss Junior
put out his paw to say goodby. “I wish
you would stay and play with me. Jack
Is building houses in the next village
and'won't be back till late."
“I must be on my way,” answered
Puss Junior. ‘I anj seeking my fortune
and have many adventures to pass
through ere I find It," and with these
words he kissed the Maiden All Forlorn
good-by and she never said his whiskers
scratched her the least little bit.—Copy
