BV SAMLEL DASHIELL I nited taff ( orrevponfJ^nt PARIS, May 30—After nearly Jour months of tireless negotiations betv pen Germany and the allied creditor powers, a complete and final .settlement of the postwar reparations problem was in sight today. The most vital point of the whole .conference has been ettled definitely with acceptance of Owen D. Young s compromise figures. Germany has agreed to pay to the allies, over a period of fifty-nine years, a sum with an actual present value of ’53. 806.000.000. in liquidation of her war obligations.

Resume Conversations As the conversations were reresumed today the outlook for an ultimate agreement was almost certain. although there still were many important problems yet unsolved, any one of which might block the .negotiations. But it was regarded as almost certain that a final agreement would be reached before the end of this week Unless the figurs under the Young plan have been changed radically during the past few days. Germany will pay the allies about $490,000,000 a year for the next thirty-seven years. During the final twenty-two years the payments will bo much smaller.

MOURNS PASSING GLORY

G. A. R. Fuel Sings of Vanished Throng

BY ARCH STEINEL IN a euchre game at Ft. Friendly, 512 North Illinois street, you'll find the poet of the G. A R. He's written 500 poems in the last forty years and never sold a one, and now this Decoration day he's aided to the meters he's spun withru* recompense with "The Passing of the G A R.” Don't fear a scowl if you break up the euchre game to talk to him in a building where battles of the Cr. i! war were once fought, where gci.erals were made or un-made. where the "might-have-beens” are w: hes that, never come true. Game Is Friendly For the game is a friendly one that can be passed to other moments. as the G A R. veterans are passing. They don't fight the war anv longer at Fort Friendly. "Go ahead. Cummings, if the lad wants to talk to you.” assures one graybeard, “we re tired of playing anyway.” The Poet of the G. A. R.—Hugh A. Cummings. 84. of 626 North New Jersey street —pushes back his cushioned chair. All the chairs about the card table are cushioned. "You want to see me?” ‘ Yes! You wrote a poem about The Passing of the G. A. R.'—but it's a shame to break up your game.” Just Passing Time Away * Don't mind that, we re just—just passing the time away,” the pcet replies. “Just passing the time away.” and forty years from now, we of the World war will be old. gray-bearded, and people will be able to break up our card games without making us sore—when we're "just passing the time away.” ”Yes. the 'boys’ of the G. A. R. arc passing. Did you like the poem? It gives me something to do besides my thoughts. The other boys have hobbies like me—but mine's poems. It makes the years longer,” and the Poet of the G. A. R nodded assent to each of his remarks. Never Sent Away Poems "I always got discouraged so easily about the poems I wrote. I never had the cheek to push them. I've written obituaries for some of the boys’ who have gone on. Never wrote my own. I’ll let someone else do that. Sometimes I recite ray poems at Fort Friendly—the one on ’Chickamauga'— l was there* or maybe the one on ‘Where Did the Privates Go?’ ” Pride for the thoughts that gave birth to the stanzas upon stanzas that he never got a dime for shone in the eyes of the poet of the G. A. R. "And you’ll print this one?” he asked. So here it is, poet of the G. A. R., your “swan-song” to the ’boys”—the —the Passing of the G. A. R. Our Grand Army has passed through the great portals To the bright realms where the glorified stand. There they have joined the great band of immortals For the spirit of freedom, they gave to our land. So. cover them over with beautiful roses And give them the guerdon so justly their due. For bur people are bringing the rarest of posies To garland the mounds of our brave boys in blue. So. today, we will crown them with halos of glory And we’ll deck their loved graves with garlands of flowers. For the world is now learning their wonderful story And why we thus honor those heroes of ours. But hark! to the chorus of that musit in Heaven Where fast our Grand Army is now going in. There, their foibles of sin may all be forgiven Xhen the reign of those comrades may really begin. But sad is the requiem for those heroes departed, Those they bask in the sunshine of God’s divine love, Yet fast they are leaving us. in this land, broken-hearted. To join with the angels in bright mansions, above.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Hugh A. Cummings

Little Congestion on Roads: Trains, Busses, Cars and Taxis Packed. Indianapolis railroad, traction and bus officials and police have become so adept at handling the world's largest sporting event crowd that the downtown district suffered less traffic confusion today than on an ordinary week day. The amazing orderliness of the traffic was the more startling because officials said that more persons appeared to be going to the race in their own cars than ever before. Transportation officials having gotten the business of handling the crowd down to almost an exact science there was no confusion on that score. No Pause in Traffic With two-thirds of the uniformed police force handling motor traffic i there were practically no pauses for the creeping serpents of automobiles on Washington, Tenth, Sixteenth and Thirtieth streets, the main arteries. As the cars neared the Speedway there was the usual slowing up, but gatemen clicked them through with efficient regularity so that by the time the starting bomb was fired even the motorists who left homes or hotels late were either inside the grounds or very close. Traffic poliemen took their posts at 6 a. m. and prepared to stay until the crowd is cleared late this afternoon. Big Four shuttle trains started fifteen minute service from Union station at 7 a. m. Cars Every Minute The Terre Haute. Indianapolis &, Eastern Traction Company started | the endless chain of interurban and city cars at 4:30 a. m. The peak was reached between 8:30 and 9 a. m. Bus service was operated between Monument Circle and the Speedway by the Indianapolis Street Railway Company. Police kept a special traffic artery open for busses and taxis. Every passenger-hauling device on four wheels, w 7 hich could be pressed into service by either organized or independent operators, was garnering the golden harvest. General admission ticket peddlers roved th: downtown district early in the morning, helping to prevent congestion at the Speedway ticket booths. Hotel Guest Robbed of $775 Jewelry valued at $775 was stolen from a room in the Lincoln, occupied by Ben Sondheim, Wednesday ' night, police were informed today. Sondheim is a race visitor.

The new show schedule for the Lyric starting Sunday and continuing all next week boasts of four first rate vaudeville acts and one of the season's talking picture treats.

Clyde Hooper, who is responsible for the offering received his information at first hand while a member of the A. E. F. Every 7 situation is an actual experience. Mr. Hooper, together with his buddy, Harvey Gatchett, are starred in the offering. The act has been scoring a hit over the entire vaudeville circuit and will undoubtedly find tavor here. Blanche and Jimmie Creighton, another standard comc-dy offering, bring to this bill their humorous and entertaining skit styled “Mudtown Vaudeville." Felovis. the sensational European juggler, promises local vaudeville patrons a genuine surprise novelty. He has been acclaimed by both press and public since his advent in American vaudeville. His feats are new and many bordering on the next to impossible. Louise and A1 Burdick, a talented duo of hoofers,

MIGRATION RAN HELPS ITALY, SAYS GENERAL Factories Springing Up to Employ Surplus Men, Writer Claims. BW T nifrd Prcns NEW YORK. May 30.—The new emigration laws promulgated by Mussolini are doubling Italy's productive capacity for national wealth, says General Charles H. Sherrill, one time American minister to the Argentine, in the May Review of Reviews. The Italian laborer, as Mussolini himself once remarked. was for long the country’s chief exportable raw product. Now the new laws definitely restricting the departure of Italians for less crowded countries have found him productive employment at home. Follow Germany General Sherrill believes that Mussolini has seen industrialization as the key to Italy’s future, and that he may have studied how a similar phenomenon w*orked out in Germany. There, in 1884. 200,000 men left the fatherland yearly. In the year before the war 11,000 more persons came into Germany than left It. "That is what factory chimneys did for Germany,” says General Sherrill. “That is what factory chirpneys cught to do and will for Japan. Is Mussolini thinking that factory chimnevs should do this for Italy?' “Few foreigners realize how considerable is the current development in Italy of private and public enterprises. offering new opportunities for employment to large numbers. Look at the redemption of coast lands in Tuscany and Campania, and also in the lowlands of Sardinia. Sardinia is only slightly smaller than Sicily, yet has only one-quarter its population. When her lowlands are drained, she can support as many people as Sicily.” Develop Water Power A second great advancement pointed out in the Review of Review's article is the development of w'ater power in the Alps and down the spine of the lower Appennines. The great bar to the industrialization of Italy has been her lack of coal. Previously all coal used was imported by sea or rail from England and Germany—a vast expense. No*.v the Italian engineers, says General Sherrill, have harnessed the snow-fed Alpine rivers for summer use and the rivers in the Apennines for winter use and united a ll the vast chain into one enterprise And they are developing a production of hydro-electric power estimated to surpass more than 12,000,000 tons of coal each year.

City Is Urged to Keep Faith With Heroic Dead

Wiant, pastor of the North Methodist church, clarioned that faith early in the day at the services at 8 o'clock at the Soldiers' and Sailors' monument. “It is in the memory of our honored dead we meet today and w'ith them we must keep faith. Tlrose silent hands,” Mr. Wiant said, “have thrown us the torch and it is ours to bear high. “Bunker Hill, Bull Run. Antietam. Gettysburg, Santiago, the Argonne may be but names to others, but to us they mark the zero hours in human history when our fathers and brothers went forth to die that •government of the people, by the people, for the people.’ might not perish from the earth,” he said. “The glory of our history is that when the testing day came, our fathers were not afraid to sacrifice, to suffer, and to die for the right. To keep faith with them, those same elements of rugged character must live in the spirits of oncoming generations, if the battles are to be fought and the victories won and our priceless heritage preserved through the centuries,” Mr. Wiant averred.

Concordia Cemetery

Following several songs and taps, the graves of soldiers and sailors were decorated by the Daughters of Union Veterans. Mrs. Grace Hoffmeyer was in charge of the grave decorating ceremonies.

Anderson Cemetery

“Soldiers of the Revolutionary war were givers of Liberty, those of the Civil war savers of the Union; while the men of the World war saved Union and Liberty for us; now it is up to us to consecrate our lives to preserving that which they saved,” declared Judge Vincent Manifold, in the principal address at the morning exercises at 10 o'clock in the Anderson cemetery for the soldier dead. “It is our duty as peace soldiers to bring more harmony into the world,” he said. He expressed the belief that law enforcement problems in America were made more difficult because of i the many races, creeds, and na- | tionalities blended by the melting pot of this continent—the United States. Samuel F. Rumford was master of ceremonies at the services. The invocation was given by the Rev. W. B. Collier. A firing squad from Ft. Harrison fired the salute over the graves of the war dead.

A hush comes today amid the j clamor ‘and greed of commercialism ' and industry during which we j should remember the noble sacri- ! flees which made freedom and prosperity possible," said Smith. "This is the most sacred of all our national holidays, for it is now that we. the living, may honor the dead: the present pays tribute to the past and w'e may consecrate ourselves anew to the noble pledge of those who died that our future and our posterity should remain secure,” he said. The ceremonies were in charge of Harry B. Dynes. Commander Henry Lowe of the G. A. R. was guest of honor at the services. The Rev. J. Drover Forward gave the benediction and invocation.

Hall, noted Indiana orator, gave the main talk at the services held in Washington park cemetery, under auspices of the Convention City post, No. 1405, Veterans of Foreign Wars. "The American soldier never has learned retreat or surrender. He always has comported himself in a rightful manner in battle and always has fought for a justifiable cause. The bigness of strife has been a challenge to him. He has learned to wave a cheery ‘good luck’ on leaving for battle and to find sentiment in trenches," Hall declared. The services were in charge of Edward G. Schaub, post commander. The Rev. F. L. Pohlman gave the invocation. Memorial day orders were read by Ralph R Canter, adjutant of the Department of Indiana, followed by a ritual service. The post's firing squad saluted the graves. Robert E.
