HOOVER US REBUILDING OF FRANCE IS OFFERED Teutons "Persuaded That Action is Unavoidably Necessary To Restore Economic Peace." NOTE IS PRESENTED BY GERMAN EMBASSY Foreign Minister Intimates Hope That America Will Act as Mediator LONDON, April 22 Cerfany Las wnt a note to the Uritish government reiterating her com-j puta willingness to undertake the reconstruction of devastated Prance. The not-?, which came from the German foreign office, was de 'vered by the German embassy to 'he British foreign office tonight. It follows: "Germany is absolutely per suaded that it is unavoidably n cejwary for the purpose of restor ing economic peace throughout the world that the territories de '.isufted through the war should be reconstructed and restored. Until this is done there will be danger that feelings of hate will continue to exist among the na tions concerned- "Germany therefore declares herself once more to be entirely willing to co-operate In this re construction with all the means and strength at htr disposal and to take into account in regard thereto, in every Individual case, each wish of the power concerned as far as is possible." The foreign minister added that he impression in foreign coun tries that Germany had under estimated her own ranarlfv onH her possibilities must gradually wo uupeiiea. in presenting the Reichstag with the American note, lr? said It bad been received too late for consideration by the cabinet. Tbe American the foreign minister Raid to the cnamner. bas declined to act as an empire, but it has not de clined to act as mediator." Strong protest against French occupation of the coal fields in the Ruhr district is a manifesto issued by the parlia mentary committee of the trades union congress and the nocnHn of the labor party tonight. The wnoie question or German obi iga tions. it Bays, ought to be settled by neutral arbitration or an im partial court, and not by the cred itors themselves. The proposed coercion of Ger many, says the manifesto, will add to the misery of workers in central Europe, delay economic recovery and aggravate the Brit ish industrial critiis. PARIS. April 2a The Com munist committee last night pla carded the walls or Paris with posters which said that the rep arations problem was. a problem of the classes and that the allies could not legally claim the Ger man people were not responsible tor the war. The placards also renuesfoi tho Frenchmen not to respond to the goernmenrs mobilization orders. WASHINGTON, April 22. Any reparations proposals the German government may submit to the Tnited States for transmis sion to the allies must be of a character those governments will be willing to consider and there fore before being formally pre stnted o the powers as a whole, will probably be made clear to the governments separately. Pending a reparations offer possibly tomorrow as a result of ihe German cabinet council meet ing tonight, official comment was withheld. It was known, however that diplomatic representatives here of the allied governments had exchanged opinions today on Secretary" Hughes' reply to Ger many appeal for mediation of the reparations dispute ana it is understood that the situation had beer discussed informally by of ficials of tbe United States and those of the interested European nations. ' The declaration of Dr. Simons, German foreign minister, in the role ha tag that in drawing up a basis of its proposition the Ger man government "must go to the extreme limits of what the Ger man people can furnish in the way of reparations," was inter preted here as an acceptance. u principle, at least, of the Ameri can statement that the. United States stands with the allies in holding Germany responsible for he war and therefore morally bound to make restitution to the full extent of hi- .Kntty to pay. The American government al so, it ia understood, does not propose to disassociate herseit from the allies in certain econom ic adjustments growing out ot tho world war and therefore what- ( Continued on page 2.)

The audience waB not quite as large as could hare been wished, but it too, like the musicians partially forgot the frigidity ofthe atmosphere and accorded the performers a warm reception. The soloists, Mrs. W. Carlton Smith. Milfer Bevler and W. H. Mills, were high lights on the pro gram. Mrs. Smith gave the "Ave Maria" as her original number, but Fhe was recalled and respond ed with "Thank God for a Car den." This als.o was encored, the third and final number which Mrs. Smith stave being a lilting spring song.

Hickman of Gervais, who was overhauled on the Pacific high way near Gervais Wednesday night by agents with state licen ses, reiterate that the reason the doctor was driving so fast was that he was go:ng to see a patient who was ill with diphtheria. Where the information comes from tbe doctor had a diphtheria patient is conjectural,, since the doctor, according to F, W. Sny der, one of the agents, made no claim ot that kind to the offi cers. Dr. C. E. Cashstt, county health officer, says no cases of diphtheria hav been -reported to him for weeks and that a physic ian having such a case would vio late the law it he did not report '.i to the county health officer. The doctor was driving from Sa Ien, and not from Gervais, when overhauled. According to Bnydr, the ag ents, not knowing who was In the automobile, suspected that the motor car was carrying liqnrr, but when the ear was. searched and no booze found, a 'charge of violating the traffic laws was made. Snyder says Hickman was traveling from 37 to 47 miles an hour and that the agents have in structions from the secretary of state to pick up all violators of the traffic laws. District Attorney Carson says the agents did not have a war rant to search the Hikman car. and also that they were without a warrant to search the premises of Fred Schindler. a Gervais far mer, Wednesday night.

The Question was: "Resolved, that the United States should prohibit immigration from south eastern Europe." The negative team on the home floor presented a well-outlined case, basing their arguments on the qualities of the percentage basis the regulation of immigra tion to this country, rather than on the prohibition of all immigra tion from that section of Europe. Vivid pictures of the horrid con ditions under which these people come to this country were pic tured by the affirmative who en deavored to show that these par ticular foreigners were a menace to, the United States.
