The die- Is cast. Germany iu-wiu, so often demonstrated that doubt about It no longer exists anywhere. forced the London comercncc i -clsive action. History can never say that the debtor did not receive notice, if in now nearly two years since arrmnnv alened the treaty fixlng- May 1, 1921. s the final limit. By that date Germany was expected to have discharged a part of her finan cial obligations. TJot only has she failed to discharge them, but she has niaveri fast and loose with other i!ii( nf the treaty and has no ! .h,vH Hie moral law of her own ifirna.ture. ' Cram the moment of her failure the world was faced with a question u whlr-h ree-retfullv we must now re i solve by force, having exhausted! all k our resources of conciliation. Economic Rnln Is Faced. Thl aimnlv la a nueetlon as to whether France, for the crime of hay. Ina- resisted with the allies an un- luBtified agression, must, besides ' suffering deep, bloody wound under sro economic ruin. We are told Germany Is In the same fix. But that Is more than doubtful. But even if it be true, and one must suffer ruin, why jhould It be France? - Why should the innocent pay for the guilty? What nation or man could feel ease of conscience or security of life If such a crime should go down the fcewlldered ages? Who would de sire to communicate to the tragic but glorious history of human libera tion such a stain of immorality? Governor Miller of New York, In a splendid speech delivered In my pres ence April 11. laid down these lm- placable but just terms: "Who did the wrong must repair it It is hu inanity's law. That law will b en forced!" And It will! I trust that reproaches of "imperialism" against us will cease and that sensitive eyes will sot raise the floodgates of their tears. This manifestation of sensitiveness during recent months is a curious paradox. Tears for the conquered are signs of comprehensible generosity when the conquered are innocent and are not butchers. Devastated Area Is Big. Tears should be kept for those who suffer and weep, for .our children, for America's children, for all the dead, for Justice to the widows and orphans and the inhabitants of the devastated regions, robbed of all their possessions. These devastated re gions in area are of an economic Im portance which corresponds to Con necticut, Massachusetts and Rhode " Island put together. Where would justice be If we were not paid? How can It be called im perialism merely to collect a debt? Imperialism means the coveting of territory, of outlets and of domina nt Hon of the world, economically an1 tutlltarily. Wherein are our evil i..- tentlons? Who has a right to charge us therewith? Who in America is V sufficiently credulous to hearken to such nonsense? Protests Made Before. They say Germany cannot pay. 6 That is .quickly said and has been said for a long time. The very day after the treaty was- signed, before ' r any investigation of Germany's re- sources could be made, it was assert m ed she would be unable to pay. y Did she ask us howtnucb we were able to pay In 1871 when, after six months of war conducted entirely on 5 our territory and with Germany's economic power totally untouched, she exacted 6,000,000,000 francs? 3J Five billions then, according to 7 financial experts and on account of money depreciation, equals 15,000,000. 000 today.- Note that 15,000,000.000 n for six months' war means 120,000,- 000.000 for four years war, and that j the accursed war occurred on our territory and exceeded In ferocity the wildest dreams of imagination. Z Situation field Pitiable. '. Now has come the final calculation of the reparations commission, whose - jurisdiction Germany herself accepts. ' This calculation again diminishes our claims which are now at a low level after repeated reductions. Yet we i do not complain. We accept the de- clsion, although it Is disappointing. Let Germany do likewise. In a few days we will occupy the Ruhr district not to molest and bru I tailze the inhabitants, but merely to take economic measures. Why this delay? To give Germany a chance to make further proposals, says Eng- land. I confess I do not understand " this. No matter how many propos al als Germany makes, she will never - pay unless compelled to. The mo . ment pressure is relaxed she - will 'stop payments. How long will this ; scandal last? Our situation has been ' pitiable for a long time. It is now fast becoming ridiculous. and under cover of blankets in un used corners. Each day the lleuten ant checked up the stock on his ar rival and again oa departure from duty. Soon the city hopes to arrange for a storehouse. The city chemist was even harder h-t than the police by the new duties imposed by legislators at Albany. Xinto his test tubes a sample of every bottle, every case and every k-eg must go for inspection. If he finds in the specimens the stuff that pink ele phants are made of. it is labeled "evi dence" and awaits court action. More over, the chemist must go to court with, the liquor and give his official testimony as to its potency. This kind of activity required most of his business hours even months ago when he had to analyze only narcotics and, other suspected poisons sefSed by city employes. But as soon as the state prohibition law became effective this official was deluged with new Jobs. During the first week's drive against bootleggers his office became one of the busiest places in the city. Detectives and uniformed police fol lowed one another through the door with samples of the seizure. Bottles piled up everywhere. The employe who labels and numbers all contain ers brought into the office telephone his wife that he would not b horn for dinner. A statistician estimate' that the chemist could not finish th job before him until 1930, unless give more assistants. The chemist the called up his family and told them noi a look for bis appearance at home Deiore lan. JAZZ MUSIC PUIS IIEYSIJW Animals Tear at Cages to Reach Band Players.

(Special.) The Darwinian theory was absolutely overturned at the Central Park zoo. A jazz band played without restraint in the monkey house, though several oops were looking on, along with some scientists, while the simian inhabi tants nearly tore their cages to pieces trying to get at the players. Human beings are generally considered to be crazier than monkeys about Jazz, but if monkeys hate it and swear at it the ray they did, where does Dar win's theory stand that the two spe ies were only separated by a family Quarrel? As Professor Norman Sper, one of the scientists present, said. Huh? The monkeys weren't the only deni zens of the zoo who seemed enraged that they and the Jazz players were not on, the same side of the bars when this scientific demonstration was tried on them to discover whether that poet who said "music hath charms to soothe the savage breast" had the right Freudian dope. Most of the ani mals endured the Jazz as long as they could, and then, reaching the break ing point, fought back. As Head Keep er Jimmy Coyle pointed out. Jazz is 4 dead Issue In the menagerie. Jass Playing Starts Hlot. The Dixieland band, a quintet of young men who were among the first to visit Jazz upon this fair land, were led to the slaughter In the lion house by Professor Norman Sper, who does the research work for their cabaret performances. With them went Park Commissioner Francis D. Gallatin, Willis Holly, secretary to the park board; Professor F. H. Pike of the de partment of psychology at Columbia university; Professor E. L. Scott of the Columbia department of physi ology. Dr. Harold D. Jones, Columbia psychology teacher, and a tribe of newspaper men. - When the earnest scientists with their sliphorns, trap drums and cow bells made their first laboratory test in the II on house, it must be confessed that the Akbar family behaved ter ribly. Helen, the lS-year-oId lioness who Is the devoted wife of Akbar, the magnificent lion, when she isn t tak lng bites out of him, deported herself with her debutante daughter. Miss Fulton, as became a matron listening to a concert until the clarinet touched an exposed nerve in Akbar. Then he let out a yowl, tried to jump through the bars at the offender and kept 16 different fits going at once. That started all the other leo nine concert patrons to practising their war whoops. Their reaction to jazz was a riot. Helen made no secret of the fact that a fresh jazz cornetist would make the nicest, meal in the world for her. Miss Murphy, the bashful hippopotamus, went down into her tank and stuffed up her earB with water. Banter Ponders Over Snlcide. The only animal which remained quiet during the racket was the black leopard, Bagheeta, who slept on by a strong effort of will till the saxo phonist who had been crooning syn copation to her turned on "Lead. Kindly Light," when Bagheeta be came a black volcano with mega phone attachment. Hymns and jazz didn't mix with her you could see she was sensitive on one of those subjects. So the band decided they had dem onstrated enough there and went over to determine how thick a hide the bears had. As soon as they began playing "Do You Ever Think of Me?" Jim, the big white Polar bear. thought so much of them his teeth chattered. 'His mouth Is quivering like that." said Jimmy O'Rourke, his keeper. because he's scared of jazz. He'd fight a tiger, but this has him buf faloed. Gosh, jazz is somethin' awful a bear's life!" When they played . "Alice Blue Gown" Jim sat down pensively, still shimmying with his- mouth. When they rent the air with "Mammy" Jim retired to his cave he was singu larly lacking in filial feeling. This selection alBo drove Molly, the black bear, into her den. while it made Betsy, the Russian bear, trot arouncj disgusxeaiy, ana Buster, tne Drown student of muslo, clambered up the rocks, and after the playing ceased stood poised in the attitude of one considering whether to jump and end It all- Jim emerged then and climbed o the side bars, refusing a loaf of bread from O'Rourke and Indicating that what he wanted thrown ta him as a raw saxophonist. Monkeys Go Farthest Away. The elephants, next visited inside their arena, while the crowds gath ered, took the exhibition quite calmly at first, but presently Jewel put out her trunk for sympathy to Hattie, and the latter squealed in a feminine fal setto until W. H. Mlddleton, the f park's animal expert,' assured her tne boys weren't hurting anything but 1 the air "and her ear drums. Then the players, as the wild urge of the music got into their blood, became embold ened and actually drove the giant beasts to the end of their chains with their blasting operations. After that Grace Manning of th 'Follies Ber gere," where the Dixieland boys study harmony, was photographed shimmy ing under the . unrearing Hattie and tickling her wishbone the elephant's. In the monkey house the animals became frantic at the sounds, and as Professor Sper remarked, syncopation and shimmying did not seem high enough for their esthetic sensibili ties. Joie, the chimpanzee, ran to the topmost bough of his tree and scowled. "The chimpanzee," said Professor Scott, "is considered, the highest in Intelligence among monkeys, so one might infer that the higher they go the further they get from jazz. The animals certainly showed excitement over the jazz, and the puma seemed able to keep a rhythm, but it Is hard to say just what was proven by this anyhow."
