ON REPARATIONS Suggests A Re-opening of Negotia tions for * New Schedule Washington, April 5.?Formal statement of the attitude of the Uni ted States as to German reparations is contained in an exchange of com munications with German govern ment officials made public today by the State Department. They are in j the form of memoranda transmitted through Lorring Dresel American high commisisoner at Berlin. The German communication dated March 23, was written by Dr. Wal ter Simons, German foreign mini ster and asserted at was "entirely clear" both to the government and people that Germany "must make reparations to the limit of her abili ty to pay" 'but sought "examination by unbiased experts" to determine the extent of her ability.. In his reply dated March 29, Sec retary Hughes expressed pleasure at Germany's "unequivocal expres sion" of its desire to pay to the limit of ability "and declared the United States stands with the governments +V10 a iliac in holding Gerftianv re VA W11W * 4*iivu ? ? sponsible for the war and therefore morally bound to make reparation, so far as may be possible." "Tfiis government/' Secretary Hughes' memorandum said, "be lieves that it recognizes in the memorandum of Dr. Simons a sin cere desire on the part of the Ger man government to re-open negotia-l tions with the Allies on a new basis and hopes that such negotiations once resumed, may lead to a prompt settlement which will at the samel time satisfy the just claims of the Allies and permit Germany hope fully to renew its productive ac tivities." Dr. SJmons' memorandum was aj lengthy document going extensively] into Germany's* situation and the J State Department announced that copies of both this communication and the American reply had been handed to diplomatic representatives ,' of the Allied powers in Berlin. In his memorandum Dr. Simons j expressed the "earnest desire" of Germany to reach accord with the Allied governments and the sincere purpose to meet requirements as far as possible. "It is entirely clear," Dr. Simons said, "not only to the government of Germany but to the German people ajso that Germany must make re paration to the limit of her ability 4.- IF pay. The minister added that Germany was ready to meet any proposal which appeared feasible for the solu tion of the economic and financial problems of Europe and sought ex amination by unbiased experts of her ability to pay. Germany Proclaims Honesty. "Germany believes," the memo randum said ,"that a policy of dur ess and corecion will not bring about the reconstruction of international life and only by way of peaceful dis cussion and understandings can such reconstruction be obtained. The German government considers it im portant to give, with solemn empha sis, the assurance that for its part it is honestly willing to follow the path it has suggested." Dr. Simons suggested that an in ternational loan in favor of which the Allied and Associated govern ments would wave their general mortgages, constituted the only so lution of the problem. He declared that Germany was prepared to offer the necessary security for such a loan, adding that it had been reiter ated that the situation of Germany - 1 11? 2.1. -4-1 i. _ ? ^ wut> Dewrcr mail timt ui any ui me Allied and Associated countries be cuse she had no foreign debts.

Chicago, April 1.?Seven years ago J. R. Morris, a director of the Peoples Gas Co., had a mule on his country estate near Lake Forest, a millionaire's suburb. J. F. Doyle, retired business man, who lived in the adjoining estate had 16 mules. Morris' mule was thin and anemic Doyle's mules were fat and content ed. So the owners agreed that. Mor ris' mule should "board" for a few months in Doyle's fertile pastures. Time came for the return. Morris picked out a mule. He said it was his Doyle said it was not. The two wept to court over the mule, which was worth $225. For seven years the case has dragged through the lower courts, being appealed time and time again bv one or the other of the men. Meanwhile the mule died in disgust, The case is now before Apellate Court. It has cost the taxpayers an average of $250 a day while being thrashed out. Dr. Simons seems to the governor ol the United States the only sound basis on which can be built a firm and just peace under which the vari ous nations of Europe cap achievc once more economic independence and stability. This government be lieves that it- recognizes in the memo randum ^>f Dr. Simons a sincere de sire on the part of the German gov ernment to re-open negotiations with the Allies on a new basis and hopes that such negotiations, once resumed, may lead to a prompt set tlement which will at the same time satisfy the just claims of the Allies and permit Germany hopefully to renew its productive activities." MANY CURIOUS THINGS 4 IN ANCIENT CITY OF THE "TERRIBLE" TURK Constantinople, March 30.?Thefe are many curious things in this ancient city of the Turk which are ; unknown to jnost people. It has re mained for a sailor aboard the Uni ted States warship, Scorpion to classify some of these oddities lor the readers of Far Seas, the paper i published 'by American bluejackets i in Near Eautern waters. ' "Just imagine," he writes, "tying up traffic cm the mam thoroughfare 1 of a big city during the busiest hours of the day by driving a flock i of sheep slowly down the street. But . they do it over here." Some other alleged strange things I done by the Constantinopolitans he i cites as follows: 1 A street car passenger often bar gains with the conductor about the price he will pay for a ride. If a youth takes a girl to the movies once or twice her parents ex pect him to marry her. Turkish saleswomen, even in the smallest shops, are required to un ' derstand or speak seven or eight languages. I ' Native men are accustomed to 1 "rent" a pipe to smoke while they ! sip their afternoon tea. J A policeman, if he finds a pick Docket at work, may beat him al t ' most insensible and then let him gc. Some Constantinople stores have signs in as many as eight languages over their doorg. 1 A tourist may engage a boatman 1 to row him for two miles for two ! or three cents. As American paper money in Tur key is worth 15 to 20 per cent -more > than Turkish gold, it is possible for ' one to buy a $20 gold piece for sev - enteen paper dollars. ' Christmas is celebrated four r four times a year, once for each of the different religious calendars. A man walking along the street r often may be seen followed, five or , ten paces in the rear, by a few of his wives. A boot black will give you a good 1 shine for a cigarette. There is no limit to automobile I speeding in any part of Constanti nople, but it's a case of "all you can ; make." , A Turkish barber is courteous, . but when he shaves you he never [ washes off the lather but covers your . face with powder.

NEW YORK HOTELS IN SLUMP From a New York letter to the Cin cinnati Times: * I tfhe lo:ng-expected slump in the hotel business in New York has ar rived. For five years tliere has been such a demand for hotel accommodations here that really operators and hotel promoters have been going upon the reckless theory that the conditions would never change. It has sudden ly changed?unquestionably and em phatically.
