Can Germany Fay Indemnity
| Asked by AIiies?-Baruch Replies
Washington. May 9.—Fifteen!
billions us tlie sum Germany is able
and probably willing to pay in re
parations. is estimated by B. M.
Haruch. chairman of the American
Reparations Commission, in the cur
rent issue of the official P'lblica
tion of the Chamber of Commerce of
tlie 1'nlted States. Mr. Baruch, who
took a large part in drafting the
j economic sections of the peace
treaty, also suggests, with thet.i, a
conditional cancellation of iuter-al
lied indebtedness.
As one of the terms he suggested
for instance, instead of cancelling
outright any part of the British in
debtedness that the United States
cancel conditionally the amount
I spent by Great Britain in this coun
try for munitions during the war.
this sum to be a demand liability
without interest and to be collected
in case this country becomes in
volved in a future war. He also
proposes that the cancellation of in
debtedness might be made a means |
of leveling preferential tariff bar
riers.
"The consensus of opinion in
Paris." says .Mr. Br.ruch, "was that i
Germany could pay at least the cap
ital sum of $15.000.000.000. About j
$3.000.000.000 lias been paid: 56.
000,000.000 marks, spread over j
forty-two years is et|tiiil to about I
$15,500,000,000 at going rates of j
interest—say eight and one half per- 1
cent., which foreign nations have
to pay in this market. In the dis
cussion of German reparations the I
Allies' experts always took live per
cent. which would give 56,000,000,
000 marks spread over forty-two
years a present value of $21,000,
000.000.
"While in the circumstances il
would come with bad graco from
America to say what the Germans
would pay or what the Allies should
accept, one-could say that there can
not he much doubt that, retaining
Silesia and with all discriminator)
restrictions removed from Germans
and their trade, Germany could p-i>
a present capital value of $12,000,
000,000. The real worth of this tc
the Allies would depend upon the
final judgement of the investing
world as to Germany's ability and
willingness to meet that amount.
"There has been some discussion
regarding the condition of cancel
lation of Allied obligations to us.
Doubtless those who have responsi
bility in the matter, in case it is
seriously taken, will have in mind
tile amelioration or removal of dis
criminatory and preferential tariffs
against our trade. In case anything
is done there might also be a dif
ferentiation between the funds bor
rowed and spent in the maintenance
of the population or in the con
tinuance of trade. If anything is
done in reference to remission of
that part of the obligations incurred
for American-made munitions that
part of the debt could be made sub
ject to renewal in case America
should become involved in another
war."

Hospital Dance
Big Success
The White Pass hospital dance, on
Saturday night was a great success,
us all who were present will witness.
Recognition is hereby given the local
order B. P. O. Elks, No. 431, who
very kindly donated the use of their
hall for the occasion. Professor Sel
men and his orchestra dispensed
pleasing music thruout the evnening
for which we extend our hearty
thanks.
AVe are indebted to so many in
connection with the dance that the
mention of names seems needless,
but we cannot refrain from mention
ing Mrs. Carl Larson, and Mrs. G.
Sipperedde and J. Griesbach in con
nection with the refreshments; the
Misses Delia Kapuzzi. Vivian Phelps
and Vivian Talbot in connection
with the sale of the tickets; Mess
rs. Eric Teller and Cleon Ask in
their excellent manner of taking
charge of the floor at the dance.
Neither would we forget the many
ladies who furnished refreshments.
Much was added to the occasion
by ttlie presence of Major Lambert,
of Fort Seward, his officers and
their wives, and the fine company
of men from the fort. We trust they
had an excellent time, and that they
enjoyed themselves as much as we
enjoyed having them come, and that
we shall see them often.
The money realized from the
ilance, over and above expenses, will
be used on the Hospital grounds to
beautify and add to their attractive
ness. Flowers in the front and a gar
Jen on the side will attest thru the
summer the appreciation the Hospi
:al feels to all who assisted iu the
jvent.
The Hospital staff is eagerly de
lirous that all the people of Skag-,

Buckeye Planted by
Ohioan Ulex
Society
At twelve-thirty on last Friday,
April 15, a tree was planted by the
Society of the Ulex across the drive
in front of the Van Warner Library,
in commemoration of the 50th anni
versary of the University of Cincin
nati.
The planting of the tree was pre
ceded by a parade of the Society
through the hall of McMicken and
about the Commons. The parade was
headed by Edward Meyer and How
ard Metzger, who bore the tree be
tween them. Other members of the
Society followed in double column,
marching with their unusual digni
ty despite the fact that some carried
spades upon their shoulders. Stud
ents in the Commons were not slow
to fall in with the procession, but
[ they took their place behind the
ranks of the Ulex.
The parade ended at the Library,
where the Ulex members stood about
the spot selected as the site, and the
spectators grouped themselves along
the roadway and upon the Library
steps.
After the impressive address deliv
ered by Herbert Leyland, the tree
was planted in the ground.

which we can best serve and help
the people of SUagway.

The strain o£ overwork tolls on
the weakened kidneys. The hurry
and worry of business men, tha
heavy lifting and stooping ot work
men, the women's household cares,
lend to wear, weaken and injure the
kidneys until they can no longer fil
ter t..e poison l'roui the blood and
the whole body sutlers from the
waste that accumulates. Weakened
kidneys need quick assistance.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for weakened kidneys;
tired, worn-out backs—have proven
their merit in thousands of cases.
Xlelow is convincing proof of merit
from this locality.
I. McGec, blacksmith, lti Dayton
Ave., Dayton, Y.'aih., says: "Many
years of hard wor'i as a blacksmith
weakened u.y kidneys and caused
backache. 1 had sue1! seven pains
