PROPOSED CUT IN INDEMNITY FAVORED BY U. S. Experts Think Versailles Tax on Germany Was Excessive. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—The proposal to scale the German Indemnity down to $5,500,000,000 or virtually one-sixth of the Versailles assessment, advanced by John Maynard Keynes in his new book; “Revision of the Treaty,” strikes Washington as that of approaching the original American plan for German reparations at Paris. There is at the capital this week, as a delegate •to the national agricultural conference, an American, Bernard M. Baruch, who fenced with Keynes throughout the Paris peace conference when they were economic exeperts, respectively, for the United States and Great Britain. Belated British attempts to bring down German reparations to a basis of reasonableness are seen by men like Mr. Baruch as an effort to “de bambaozle” the French whom Lloyd George “bamboozled” at Paris. Mr. Keynes’ newest book, indicates that the author of “Economic Consequences of the Peace,” himself has decided in a picturesque idiom, to take an eleventh-hour hand in the game of “debunking the bunk.” AMOUNT ASSESSED BEYOND POWER TO PAY. The United States Government and American economic experts agree, in general, with ono feature of the latest Keynes proposal, but demur as to the other. They share his apparent belief that the original Versailles assessment against Germany of $32,000,000,000 Is fantastically beyond the demonstrated capacity of the Germans to pay, but they do not support the Keynes theory that reparation readjustment ought to include cancellation of all allied indebtedness due the United States except the British loan. The Harding Administration has not altered its position that the allied debt is e “collectible asset” which must continue to figure on the credit side of Uncle Sam's ledger. The fact that repayment cannot be prompt is certain, indeed, to be long drawn out, does not alter America’s view. Whether we go to Genoa or not, onr position on cancellation is fixed and definite. It is a categorical negative. American economists who saw the contortions of the British delegation at Paris—gyrations instigated by Premier Lloyd George and intermittently aided and abetted by John Maynard Keynes—are not surprised at the latter’s latest volte-face. Then and since, It is declared, his viewpoint has shifted with a suddenness that has led some observers of his vacilllation to say the activities of a kaleidoscope are statio by eamparisoq, Keynes at length is now approaching the original American plan for German reparations at Paris. COILD SETTLE FOR $15,0110,000,000. It was the American belief the Germans could and would pay an Indemnity of $15,000,000,000. They had already paid $3,000,000,000 or $4,000,0000000 in cash or in kind, leaving $11,000,000,000 or $12,000,000,000 of the first named capital sum to be accounted for. In 1918-1919 Americans saw the British ludicrously insistent upon German reparations that reached, in some cases, the dizzy total of $120,000,000,000. It was primarily, in American opinion. Such insensate recoknings hat dazzled the French and resulted in the eventual imposition of $32,000,000,000. The Keynes proposal to assign virtu allv the entire reduced German indemnity to France and Belgium, with smaller aalloeations to Poland and Austria, is considered feasible by American authorities. American program of reparations at Paris assigned France 43 per cent of the total, Belgium 24 per cent and the British empire 19 per cent. Also Keynes’ suggested dropping of the demand for pensions and separate allow ances. inserteed primarily at the behest of the British, is approved. The principal weakness in the latest Keynes project, as viewed in Washington, is that whereas the British in 1918-1919 went absurdly too far, they are now, in a belated fit of remorse, seen as not going far enough. How far Keynes may be speaking for Mr. Lloyd George is nos known. But his latest reasoning 1b undoubtedly water on the mill of Downing street policy to bring France to reeason on reparations.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

Almost every one knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray.

Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that, you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look yeara younger.—Advertlse-

Cromer, a substantial, well-known farmer, residing out on Route 3 from herp. ‘1 am 43 years old, and when a small boy I had indigestion and was puny and my folks gave me a liver regulator. Then Black-Draught was advertised and we heard of It. “I began to take Black-Draught, and have used it, when needed, ever since. I use Black-Draught now in my home,. and certainly recommend It for any liver trouble. “I have given It a thorough trial, and after thirty years can say BlackDraught is my stand-by. It has saved me many sick spells." Mr. Cromer writes that he Is “never out of Black-Draught,” and says several of his neighbors prefer it to any other litsr medicine. “I always recommend Black-Draught to my friends,” he adds. This valuable old, powdered liver medicine is prepared from medicinal roots and herbs, and has none of the bad effects so often observed from the use of calomel, or other powerful mineral drugs.

Plane Defies Law of Gravity in Storm MINEOLA, L. 1., Jan. 27. —Gravity was defied by the United States Air Mail Service airplane, driven by Pilot C. B. D. Colyer, when he tried to land in face of the terrific gale at the Curtiss Engineering Field at Garden City. Although the propeller was making 1,400 revolutions a minute and the machine was nosed down almost perpendicularly, the machine stood absolutely still hundreds of feet above the field. Colyer finally turned the machine toward Hazelhurst Field, where he landed. The plane is driven by a 400-horsepower Liberty engine. The machine was covered with snow and sleet on arrival, with 450 pounds of mail, from Cleveland and Chicago.

GERMAN PRESS PLEASED WITH WIRTHJSPEECH Regarded Answer to French Policy as Stated by Poincare. BERLIN, Jan. 27. —The German press today unanimously endorsed Chancellor Wirth’s taxation speech delivered in the Reichstag Thursday afternoon. The speech was regarded as more than an explanation of Germany's new taxation policy. It was called a reply to the declaration of policy recently announced in the French chamber of deputies by Premier Poincare. Newspapers expressed satisfaction over the chancellor's declaration that Germany will not surrender to France the so-called "war criminals.” Altogether,the speech was regarded as a clever political coup, disarming the argument of the nationalists that the chancellor was showing weakness In dealing with France. “We hope the speech will have the right echo in France,’ 'said the Vosslsche Zeitung. “A policy of sound economies at last replaces the policy of politicians.” “At last” was the headline applied b> the Lokal Anzeiger. This newspaper was jubilant that the chancellor “finally broke his silence and replied to France.” "The chancellor chose the way to truth and reason,” said the Volks Zeitung. „ The Catholic organ Germania welcomed Dr. Wlrth's policy as one of soundness without meaningless phrases. The Deutsche Allgemelne Zeitung expressed the opinion that the speech would open the way to International confidence and common sense "as opposed to Poln care's policy of distrust. The proposed forced loan of 40,000,000000 paper marks from “big business” will bear no interest. MAYBE IT’S TRITE. CHICAGO, Jan. 27.—There should be a little bit of bad in every good little wife.

Washington Briefs

Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—Henry C. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, drives up to the farm conference in a “prairie limousine” —an old fashioned closed carriage, propelled by a team of obsolete horses. A colored coachman, another remnant of the dim and distant past, is on the box. Scant appropriations for the personal expenses of the Secretary of. Agriculture are to olame. They were fixed before the automobile age and never have been revised upward to permit scrapping the coupe and team. So Secretary Wallace perambulates around the Capital as that distinguished fellowlowan, James Wilson, who held the job twenty-five years ago, used to do. The outfit looks as if it consisted of the same horses and chariot, too. The home-folk stuff, as becomes the character of the assemblage, is predominant at the agricultural conference. Every delegate, be he multimillionaire packer, like J. Ogden Armour, or humble dirt farmer delegate from Nebraska, is labeled with a badye of blue surmounted by a celluloid strip giving his name and residence. The idea is that everybody shall “get acquainted” without the formality of introductions, which, the power-that-be decreed, don’t belong to the realm of the barnyard and the corn patch. The end has justified the means. Few confehences ever held in Washington were marked by such camaraderie. Another well-known American name now adorns the roster of the Harding Administration—Capt. Lew Wallace, Jr., grandson of the a'uthor of “Ben Hur," whom Secretary Mellon has Just appointed Director of Savings in the Treasury Department. Like his celebrated ancestor, Captain Wallace is a native of Indiana. Rear Admiral Nathan Crook Twining, U. S. N., who has been assigned to command * special service squadron of small warships patrolling the Caribbean Sea and Central American waters, is one of the acknowledged “brains’ of the American Navy. Native of Wisconsin and graduate of the Annapolis class of 'B9, Admiral (then captain) Twining was chief of Admiral Sims’ staff in London

An Army Marches On Its Stomach, Said Napoleon The Great Corsican Knew That Success in Life Depends Upon Your. Strength, Energy and Endurance.

By HARRISON VAUGHN. When Napoleon led his victorious armies through Europe, his worst enemies were not the nations defending themselves against his smashing onslaught; but he was confronted by the graver question of how to provide nourinshing and strengthening food for his soldiers. The Great Corsican realized long over a century ago, as has every commanding general since, that men's bodies must lie perfectly nourished if they are to retain their natural strength, energy and vigor; In fact, that the very health of the human being is regulated almost entirely by the stomach. Under-feeding, Insufficient nourishment means loss of flesh, anaemia, lack of red blood and subsequent weakness of the entire system. YVhat such people need to enable nature to bring back their strength and vigor, restore their lost weight, and put them in fighting trim, with rich, red blood coursing through their veins is Tanluc, the powerful reconstructive tonic and body builder. A man or woman suffering from sour stomach, bad breath, biliousness, indigestion. or gas on stomach, is unfitted either for physical or mental labor. Sufferers from these ailments ffnd life a burden; they look on the world through blue glasses, the Joy and rewards of the vigorous, happy, normally healthy person is not theirs. Their troubles embitter them against the world, destroy their ambitions and make their lives dull and unhappy. How foolish to continue In this condition when on every hand throughout the length and breadth of the land, people
