Allied Experts Cut Deeply Into
Claims of Several Countries,
Notably South America.
PARIS, April 28. (Webb Miller, t.
P. Staff Correspondent.) Oermany
during the war Inflicted a damage of
132 billion gold marks on the allies,
according to tho allied reparations
coniitiiMsion wh.'ch completed Its task
today. The Oermim offer of f.O billion
gold marks, therefore is held to be
a proposal to settle tne debt for 38
cents on the dollar.
The allied damage bill was submitted
to Dr. Von Oertzen, the German rep
resentative to the commission. The
reparation commission, by completing
the total, settled the task three days
ahead of the schedule. Under the
peace treaty the bill of damages was
to be ready May 1. The commission
expla'ned that the figures do not rep
resent the actual damage inflicted by
Germany during the war, but is ap
proximately what she is able In pay.
Allied experts cut deeply Into the
claims of several countries, notably
South America, which charged exten
sive damage to property ond Bhipp.ng.
Peru and Bolivia were rejected entire
ly. Frazil's bill was cut three-fourths.
The French are adamant in their de
cision not to consider Berlin's offer
to pay 50 billion as reparations.

ters were transacted last night when
the city council met In Its regular
session.
No definite action was taken on the
proposed changing of street names,
Councilman Ftiedly declaring that he
had no formal report to make yet, but
he said he had expected a committee
from the club to appear before the
council.
The discussion that followed intro
duction of the sibject disclosed an
apparent unanimity of opinion favor
ing the changing of the names so far
as the council is concerned.
Cost Will Ho Slight
That the cost of making the change
will amount to comparatively little
was the belief expressed by Mayor
Hartman In talking over some of the
reasons advanced by the X-club why i
the present system of names should
be retained. Seventy-five cents would!
be the extra charge on some abstracts 1
of city property which are so describ- i
ed that the city ordinance recording !
the changing of names would have to j
be included in the abstracts. Council-i
man Simpson suggested that if the ;
change is made there would be no use i
in waiting ten years to take the move. I
That some method could be worked i
out for the change which would pre
icrve the historic- value of names and
still bring an orderly system into use
was the thought expressed by the ;
mayor and others. Sentiment Is the j
important element thai enters into thai
opposition on the part of the X-club
members, the council believes.

Omaha reported the best milling and
