Car ton, as Rodney, was willing to make good, but ne had to have some one to help him ana It took Mary and Ambrose Peale, the adve mam to do it. It was Rodney who thought of "13 SoalT, unlucky for Dirt." whicl was to make all three of then wealthy.

Ray Garlow, as Ambrose Peale, should go In for advertising He had the advertising line down pat even to the psychology and' power ol suggestion. He hadn't forgotten th red necktie which is quite common lor newspape- men. But he convinc ed Cyrus Martin, Ralph Johnson that he should advertise.

L. Rartden of Scot 'tsvllle motored hre today PARIS, April 22. French official circles express disappolritment today that the American reply to the German note requesting mediation of the reparation question, was not a categorical refusal. The regets, however, were mitigated by satisfaction that th United States was displaying an active interest in the reparation question. The American reply has been inter preled here as only an invitation to Germany to resume negotiations with the allies and it Is thought that the United States will not continue con versations with liermany except in ac cord with the allies.

Secreta of State Hughes is under stood, to have assured Ambassador Jusserand to this effect. Urge Mora Conversations WASHINGTIN, April 22 The Unit ed States strongly desires that there should be resumption of negotiations between Germany and the allies regarding leparation. Secretary Hughes said in a note sent yesterday to Berlin refusing the German request that President Harding mediate and that Harding should fix the sum Germany must pay. The promptness with which Harding decided not to undertake the role of mediator and umpi occasioned little surprise in Washington and it was received with satisfaction oy allied diplomats. The United States Is determined Germany snail pay to the limit of her ability.

This position is made perfectly clear by the Harding administration in its reply to the first memorandum received last Mach 24. Military Plant Ready (LONDON, April 22. Dramatic el-forts on the part of Germany to induce the United States to arbitrate the reparation question between Berlin and the entente gove: nment and the refu al of Washington to sit in Judgment has brought new interest to the conference between Briand and Lloyd George at Llmpe, Sunday. As Lloyd George and France wore supposed to have agreed on strong military measures in default of payment by Germany, the request of tha United States that negotiations oe at once has brought a new factor into the conference. The new factor is that Lloyd "George and M.

Briand will probacy be required to make some sort of answer to the request of the United States for a renewal of exchanges between London, Paris and Be lln. It is known that 'French military authorities have perfected all plans for occupation of the Ruhr Valley and other industrial sections of Germany and have formulated economic penalties which will be put into effect when these places are At the same time that Germany anpea'ed to Washington, It replied to the allies, refusing to ansfer the gold reserve from the imperial bank to the branches at Coblenz and Cologne.
