AUSTRIA-TURKEY
TO PAY FOR WAR
GERMANY'S SUPPORTERS WILL
HAVE TO PAY WAR DAM-
GGES TO ALLIE8
(By AuMultd Prut.)
Paris, April 17.—Austria-Hungary,
Bulgaria and Turkey are not particu-
larly promising debtors, but the re-
paration commission, with the 'Prob-
lem of German compensation for
damages out of the way, is taking up
the question of the financial respon-
sibility of these states, or the rein-
ca/its thereof, along the same lines
•as in the case of Germany.
Germany's former allies will be re-
quired to accept the principle that
they are responsible for damages to
civilian life and property under the
fame categories as applied to Ger
many and a sub-committee has been
studying the extent to' which they
can be made to satisfy debts. The
results of the work of the commission
thus far are understood to have been
largely negative as the assets of the
debtor states have vanished to a
great extent and rich parts of their
•domain are now included within
bounds of allied liberated states.
Something, however, may be realized,
from the wreckage for compensating
Italy, Rumania and Serbia.

(By Associated Press.)
London, April 17.—While opinions
are divided regarding the substance
of the address of Premier Lloyd
George yesterday before the house
cf commons, there is a general agree-
ment by he London press that it was
a parliamentary triumph.
With the exception of the Laborite
and Northcliffe papers rone of the
papers condemns the premier's stae-
nient wholly while several applaud it.
These admit the premier revealed
nothing of the peace terms but don't
complain.
The Express declares the belief that
the premier's pre election pledges
will be fouftd embodied in the peace
terms and says he retains the nation's
complete confidence.
The Chronicle says if the peace
terms are disappointing the fault
will lie less with the statesmen than
with the peoples they represent.
COURT DECISION, ACCEPT OR REJECT
JUDGE DECIDES THE COURT
HAS NO RIGHT TO INTER.
FERE WITH SCHOOL BOARD
Judge Lucien B. Wright has ren-
dered a decision in the injunction
suit against the Drumright school
board restraining them from award-
ing the contract for the erection of
the new high school building and in
his decision holds that the court has
no jurisdiction to interfere with the
action of the board.
Notice of appeal has been filed by
the oppositon and ten days is given
in which to file the appeal.
If the appeal is denied the high
school contract will be awarded and
erection of the $235,000 high school
building will proceed at once.
We believe that fully 90 per cent
of the school patrons are in favor
cf the work proceeding without liti-
gation.

Paris, April 17.—(Havas.)—
Latest reports is that Germany in-
tends to claim indemnity from the al-
lies, according to the Frankfort G -
. zette. It says the Germans at Ver-
sailles will ask payment for damage
sustained from aerial raids, from oc-
cupation of German territory by al-
lied troops and for the delay in con-
cluding peace, charging a prolonga-
tion of the Bolshevik and Sparttani-
t roubles.

MORE THAN HALF
London, April 17.—The Paris cor-
respondent of the London Mail states
today that out of the 100 billion
marks Germany is to pay the allied
nations, France will receive 55 per

REBECCAS HOLD BOX SUPPER

night by the Odd Fellows and Re-
beccas, at which time the latter gave
a box supper at their hall on Ohio
street. A large number were pr«s-
ont. Besides the feature of the bi>c
supper, a very entertaining improvis-

GERMANY IS TO BE GIVEN AM-
. PLE TIME BUT MUST GIVE
j DEFINITE ANSWER MAY 6
An undated Associated Press dis-
patch says that Germany will be
forced to either accept or reject the
peace terms by May 15, according
to Paris reports. It is indicated no
reply may be expected before May 6,
the. peace conference being disposed
to give Germany ample time to di-
gest the terms and frame a reply.
hat action would follow a rejection
by Germany hasn't been forecast
The refusal of Stephen Pichon,
French foreign minister, to divulge
peace terms while speaking before
the chamber of deputies yesterday
and Lloyd George V failure to do
more than generalize indicate the
terms are not to be published at pres-
ent.
It has been agreed at Paris that
Norway and Switzerland will act as
allied agents in feeding Russia but
the plan is opposed by the Russian
anti-Bolshevik element.
The question of the United States
becoming mandatory for Armenia
and the ancient province of Cicilia
to the southeast is again being con-
sidered by the peace conference.
