NEW TROUBLE IN COLLECTING GERMAN CLAIMS

Allies Hold First Mortgage on' All Assets in Hands of Debtor Nation. FAILURE TO RATIFY TREATY I i Cost of Maintaining Army on Rhine Not Collectable for ' Same Reason. By ROBERT J. BENDER, United News Staff Correspondent. * WSAHD7GTON. July 6. The) American Government may encounter! new difficulties with the allies when i an effort is made to settle the claims j of citizens of this country against' Germany. The allies, it was pointed out, holdj a first mortgage on all German a3- j sets for the payment of reparations. | Large payments to be made to Amer ica. it was thought, might raise objections similar to those surrounding America’s attempt to coilect the $241,000,000 owed for the maintenance of the Army on the Rhine. Machinery Is Missing Since this Government did not ratify the treaty of Versailles, utilization of the international machinery | provided for the settlement of claims! is not possible. In the same way, j America's claim for the Rhine Army j was passed up because this Govern- j ment was not a member of the repa- j rations commission, which la charged j with the allotment of the gold marks paid by Germany. It is the intention of this Govern ment to settle its claims against Germany directly, through a mixed tribunal on which will oe representatives of both nations. The tribunal would adjudicate the claims, and then it would be up to Germany to pay. This might be difficult, because the allies sre already demanding payments in larger sums than Germany has ever been able to meet. Claims of Americans Claims of American citizens arise chiefly from the unrestricted subma rine warfare before America became a belligerent. The most considerable , group are from the sinking of the Lusitania. Other claims are fer the damage of American property in Ger many and in areas where there was j fighting. The total of the claims is cot accurately known, but they will amount to something like 120C.C00.006 Compilations are on file with the State j Department, but it was thought that many of the demands probably were t tcessive, and were submitted in; larger amounts than the claimants, actual’y hoped to obtain. American citizens are assured payment. however, through the fact that this Government still retains some | half-billion dollars’ worth of alien property sequestered during the war The property is held and administered by the alien property cutsodian. and the resolution of peace with Germany specifically provided for its retention until all claims are settled. Would Restore Property „ that the Government will dispose of this property to settle claims if it can be avoided. Rather, there ; is an almost universal desire to re store it to its former owners as soon as possible. But the property constitutes a guar- j antee of German payment. Should the German government decline to yield on claims, or perhaps if for other reasons collection was impos eible, the property could be used. Then It would be up to the German government to reimburse its own nationals.

GREATER FRANKNESS IN SEX MATTER TO CLEANSE OPINION Dean Brown© Says Women's Legs Have Ceased to Cause Leer. By United b'etet LONDON’. July s.—Greater frankness In sex matter* as a means of cleansing public opinion, was advo- • cated at the conference of the Church of England Men's Societies, held at Leicester under the chairmanship of the Archbishop of York. Supporting this idea. Dr. Leonard F. j Browne, medical officer of Knutsford Test School, declared that women's legs have ceased to be leered at and fussed about since the war introduced the “healthy and seemly short skirt.’' ♦‘Sex thoughts will do no harm if they are properly dealt with," Dr. Brown© said. "If man never had sexual thoughts, he wouldn't marry. “When the subject of sex is brought out into the open, suggestiveness will lose much of its power. It is the halfdraped figure which excites, not the nude statue.” Dr. G. S. Hughes, another authority, wasn't certain whether the increased freedom in the relationship of men and women was for better or for worse. "All that can be said for certain,” Dr. Hughes asserted, “is that the Victorian standard of morality is not being maintained, and modesty is to some extent looked upon as a sign of foolishness rather than of virtue." Saying public opinion had changed for the worse in sex matters. Dr. Hughes cited: 1. The demand for easier divorce. 2. The tendency to be sentimental over the unmarried mother. 8. The standard of entertainment in the music halls and cimemas. Victims of Swindlers HEW YORK, July s.—Swindlers, always looking for victims, have. found an easy way to practice their i cunning in the game of “put and take." One top the swindlers use is genuine, but at a critical moment of j tlTe game the sharpers slip in a load-; ed top which inevitably turns up "take all.” Police officials state that hundreds of persons have been victimized by these swindlers. Case Proves Itself By United X etct JONDON, July 6.—“ My wife calls me a fool," confessed a man at the Thames police court. The Magistrate—Well, are you? The Man —There Is Just a suspicion of it, your honor, or I wouldn’t have lived with her for twelve years.” 1
