Officer for the coming year were elected at the meeting of the Muessel Civic center last night, and a resolution was adopted to circulate a petition for light on the playgrounds. The officers, as elected, are: C D. Eddy, president: Mrs. Homer Miller, first vice president; Walter Hloomfield, second vice president; J. W. McCorkle, secretary, and J. F. McClave, treasurer. The request for lights is lue to the fact that it is planned to keep the boys' organization going during the entire summer, and lights on the playgrounds will be necessary if this is to be done. Two Notre Dame teams debated the question of the commission plan of government in its connection with South Bend, but no decision was given.

FRENCH WILL MAKE KAISER PAY FOR WAR

PAIU. May ll. The report of the finance committee of the chamber of deputies on the bill providing for a new income tax, as a substitute for all other direct taxes, shows that the war has caused a comparatively small increase In taxes in France thus far. It emphasizes the purpose to effect a peace settlement which will impose upon Germany the chief burden .of meeting the enormous expenditures resulting from the war. The re, ort shows that tar-ces ir England increased during- the war from SÖ to 26." francs

1 per capita while the increase in

France was from Ih to 13 francs. '"Finally" the report continues "let us remember that we must impose upon our enemy a considerable part of the burden of this horrible conflict provoked by them alone. We must have a peace that pays, lie-integration into our country of territories wrenched from us in the war of 1870 will aid us in repairing many ruins. We should know also to what extent the central empires will be able to pay us in money the indemnities they will be compelled to render to us and our allies. It will be necessary to have compensation in kind, such as the mines of Sarre in German Lorraine, and guarantees such as financial control of customs, ports, forests, railroads, mines and other national domain of the enemy which will serve us pledges for annual obligations we

should require. In case insuilicient J

indemnities are paid In cash. "In reparation for the damages , caused in the invaded sections we j require of Germany immediate re- ; stitutlon of kind of machines, stocks, j

merchandise, lumber and material '

of all kinds that have been stolen from our unfortunate people, and also that the towns and villages destroyed by a criminal race of barbarians shall be rebuilt by Gorman hands. We shall insist, in addition, that ships of the German fleet shall be delivered to us to replace those sunk by the pirates."

BERLIN ART DEALERS SWINDLED BY AMERICANS BERLIN. May 11. The German police are hunting1 . for a daring swindler who obtained paintings valued at many thousand of dollars from a Uerlin art dealer. The man called himself Robert Wachtl.and arrived here recently from Vienna. He took quarters at one of the most expensive hotels and visited art dealers, to whom he represented himself as an agent of an

(American multi-millionaire who de

sired to buy "Obi Masters." In the gallery of one of th dealers he selected live or six paintings and ordered them sent to lis hotel "for further examination by an art expert." As he gave a check for half of the price agreed upon, the dealer did not hesitate to carry out the order, but when he called at the hotel a few hours later to collect the r'st of his money, the customer had disappeared with the paintings. His check turned out to be a forgery.

I am soins to answer this question by producing evidence that rroves conclusively that they do. I want to suesest that it is Important to keep the joints warm and protect the hands from cold winds and water. Take the case of Mr. Holden. C James street. Lynn. Mass., whoe finuers were hent and deformed to see him today you could not believe he ever had rheumatism. Atrain. Mrs. I;reed of 110 President street. Lynn. Mass.. ringers were actually useless, they were so stiff and deformed she is well today, tinkers perfect. Mrs. McMasters of :.1J Humphrey street, Iowell, Mass.. is another woman who regained the use of her f.nuers as well as the Joints through Var-ne-sis. Mrs. Coyle of ::T Pleasant strt-et. M:niU;ro. Mass.. lin-ers u.j-e al.nt ri-id they have une back to normal. Mr. Nelson of 11 4L' norchester av.nue, p.oston, Mas., fr tiers wre deformed to a marked ;ei:ree you'd r.fvpr believe h had rheumatism. Nurse Nightingale of East Weymouth. Mass.. tinkers iere crooked and deformed they arcrow aormal r.nd she fives' all the credit to Var-ne-sis. Hundreds have told in e tht Var-,ie-si has be.n the means of their crooked ar.d ik formed joir.ts return

ing- to normal. In this form of rheumatism not only are the hands misshapen, but other joints gradually become involved. The disease may remain quiet for awhile, but there will be acute symptoms from time to time enough in the early cases to remind yon that the disease is creeping to other joints. If neglected, the finders become so stiff that it will be impossible to open or close the hand, the knees draw up in the extreme rases and the patient is often helpless. Physicians will tell you thr.t they can c:o nothing for this disease, and it is the same form of rheumatism that Var-ne-sis has been so successful in. No ether preparation produces such evidence. Why? A description of the above cases will b sent by address in-,' V. A. Varney. Lyni:, Mass. TVar this cut and mail.

EX-MAYOR DOES HIS BIT AS LONGSHOREMAN

LONDON, May 11. War works some funny vicissitudes. An ex-mayor of Southwark tendered himself to the national service department, to do'any work the government might choose in order to help carry on the war. A girl interviewed him. In reply to her query a.- to his vocation, he replied "organizer." She calmly wrote down "organs rind or," and a few days later the dumbfounded exmayor was ordered to report as a longshoreman at the regular union rate of wases!
