GERMANS FIGHT PEACE TERMS OF UNITED STATES Chancellor Says His Ministry Will Fall if American Terms Are Met. BERLIN, A tip 19.—The Wirth government. will be overthrown if it signs the peso© treaty proposed by the United States, according to authoritative information today. Negotiations over the treaty are In progress between Boring Dresel the American charge d' affaires, and Chancellor Wirth with the latter taking the stand that no party in Germany will support his ministry if he agrees to the American terms as they stand. Simultaneously with German insistence that the terms of the American peace treaty are "too high” comes the charge that they are too much "French colored.” This is attributed to the “American I-egion. which ts Chauvinistic and sailing in French waters.” Germany's position has been strengthened by recent interviews with Frank A. Vanderlip. American financier, in the German press in which he is credited with saying Germany's situation is such that she cannot fulfill the treaty of Versailles. In some qnarters here. Vanderlip is credited with being Fresident Harding's “Colonel House." Leaders hint that claims relating to the Lusitania and others contained in ;he American treaty constitute excessiveness. The question of German property hold ings in the United States was apparently one of the issues of the controversy over the peace terms, but the points are so far withheld. AGAIN DENIED BY WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, Ang. 19.—Vigorous denials of the reported deadlock in the German American peace negotiations because of Germany's refusal to concede herself responsible for the World War were communicnted by the State Department today to Republican members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. None of the Senators questioned, would talk for publication, but privately they stated they had rereived positive assurances from the highest State Department officials that the negotiations are progressing satisfactorily toward a successful conclusion. 33 Per Cent of Homes Owned hv Occupants WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—The number of homes in Indianapolis in 1920 was 81.256. of which 27.356 or 33.7 per cent were owned by the oocupants, the Census Bureau announced today.

Eberhart of Huntington, who undoubtedly will become United States district attorney when Frederick Van Nuys steps down Jan. 1. 1922. was a caller at the Federal building today and spent a short time in conversation with Mr. Van Nuys. “Tbere is no political significance to my visit,'’ Judge Eberhart Raid. “I Just dropped down to Indianapolis to look after an automobile that is being fixed np and I am going to leave at 1 o'clock. From all outward Indications Judge Eberhart never has so much as beard the slightest inkling of a rumor or a whisper that he is to be the next United States attorney in Judge Anderson's court, but Just the same it was noticeable that his eyes could not be restrained from taking in everything connected with the offices he win occupy. Mr. Van Nuys greeted him like a long lost friend and no outsider would have dreamed that politically the gap between them is wider than White River in flood time.

lIEATON PLANS TO HOUSE VETS Space in Office Buildings and Churches Sought for Sleeping Quarters. Plans were nut under way today by Edgar M. Heaton, chairman of the hotel committee for the G. A. R. encampment, to secure every foot of floor space available in downtown office buildings, churches and clubs as sleeping quarters for the veterans of'the Civil War, who will attend the encampment, which is to be held In Indianapolis Sept. 25 to 29. The hotel situation is a disturbing factor, Mr. Heaton said, due to the fact that five other national or State organizations are coming ta Indianapolis during the same week for conventions. All of the larger hotels, however, have offered to cooperate with the hotel committee, of which Mr. Heaton Is in charge, and while the prospect is not as promising from that standpoint as it was last year ample facilities will be available for the care of the thousands of old soldiers when they arrive. Among the large unoccupied buildings at present available for the old soldiers 1s tbe Marrott department store building on Massachusetts avenue. Mr Heaton took up the question of securing the building for the accommodation of the veterans and said that he hoped to be able to annonce within the next few ad.vs the building would be offered to the hous-

lng committee. Hundreds of .cots could be placed in the building, which, because of Its natuiral equipment, is ideally adapted to such a purpose. IndianapoUs postoffice authorities have volunteered to care for a number of the veterans on the second floor of the Federal bunding where there is room to accomodate ne&rly one hundred. As many cots and blankets as will be needed for the old soldiers’ quartered in downtown buildings will be provided by the National Government. Newton J. McGuire, chairman of the housing committee, reported. A conference between Mr. McGuire and Mr. Heaton brought out clearly the enormous difficulties which are confronting the local committees, in charge of the care of the old soldiers. The fact that a large amount of space in the downtown area wiU be made available for the use of the G. A. R. will not minimize the immediate necessity of securing thousands of rooms in private homes for the accommodation of encampment visitors, it was pointed out by Mr. McGuire.
