to congress, in November 1918. saying
"thus the war comes to an end," the

"The reasons for their confinement.
If any there were, ceased one and a

young men in an attempt, to follow

many of them because of religious

By DAVID LAWRENCE.
WASHINGTON. D C. May 18.
Europe is getting down to brass
tacks or rather economic sense,
overcoming the sentimental Ism which
has kept the allied world from recog
nizing until the amount of the Ger
man indemnity was fixed and ways
were discovered of assisting Germany
to pay the same reconstruction would
be held back indefinitely.
That is the interpretation which
our officials put on the latest confer
ences between the allied premiers
prior to the conference with the Ger
mans at Spa.
Without Official News.
But it must be said at the outset
that whatever views are expressed
at the treasury department, where
the writer made several inquiries to
day concerning the momentous de
cisions being made in the European
conferences, are based entirely on a
dk ox newspapers- aigniucaniiy
and Indeed regrettably tne United
States government does not know
thing that Is going on in the impor
tant financial conference which aen-
erally relates to the whole economic
zutnre or tne united states.
Treasury officials said it was an
unfortunate confirmation of what
they had been saying right along,
namely that Europe was being com
pelled to settle the world's financial
affairs without the benefit of Ameri
ca's advice or suggestions
Waiting German Ifiyment.
"While it is true." said one treas
ury official, "that the United States
need not accept the settlement, we
will hardly be able to raise such a
clamor when Indeed we rejected the
opportunity that was offered us to
be come a member of the league of
nations and be represented in these
important conferences."
To be sure, our officials take with
a gram or salt some of the cable

But treasury officials say this is
absurd. They declare that there is
absolutelv no relationship between
reparation and war indebtedness. They
recognize tnat payments oi German

Broadly speaking, there is the ut
most satisfaction here that the allies
are endeavoring to agree among
themselves before the aooroach the

felt that the allied premiers enter
the conference with a changed atti
tude toward Germany Fully a year
had to pass, unfortunately, before the
allies were brought to a realization
of the correctness of the riewpolnt
expressed by president Wilson and
his financial advisers at the Paris
peace conference, namely that the
sooner a definite sum was fixed for
the Germans to pay out and the
sooner arrangements w e re made to
help Germany earn the money to pay
her debts, the quicker the world
would get back on its feet.
Three factors have prevented
Europe from doing 12 months ago

election promise to the general ef

The mystery about tbe identity of
the man who was takes from the U.
S. hotel Saturday night In an un
conscious condition and died Sunday
at the county hospital without re
gaining consciousness has not been
cleared by tbe county officers.
The man registered at the hotel
under the name of Stanley Norton.
He was dressed in new civilian
clothes, and It is believed he was a
soldier on leave, who had made a
trip to his home and was returning
to eamp, with a few days to spare.
Death probably was due to poison
ing, it Is said.
Four pictures of a girl and one of
a frame house were found In his
pockets, but he had no papers, evi
dently having left them with bis
uniform when he changed to civilian
clothes, if the supposition of the au
thorities that he was a soldier is cor
rect. A heart, pierced by a dagger, was
tattooed on the left forearm.

presidential term and will surrender
to the provisional president the au
thority which revolutionary condi
tions have forced him to assume.
