CUSTOMS RECEIPTS TO BE COLLECTED. LONDON, March 2.(By The As- sociated Press)—German customs re- ceipts in the occupied territory would be taken over as the first step in forc- ing the payment of Germany's obliga- tions, \should that prove necessary, under plans being drawn up by a committee of the Supreme Council today. Notice to Germany that here repar- ation proposal would not be dis- cussed and that the Allies were ready to enforce ‘the payment of German obligations was in preparation today. by the committee of Council appointed to frame a reply. Instructions given this committee were in substance: First, the Allied cline to discuss with evident bad faith. Second, Germany shall be reminded governments de- of her various violations of the peace/ treaty. Third, the German government shall be informed of immediate steps the Allies are determined to take in be-| tnt with the Allies.” ginning to enforce the collection of Germanys ob'ligations. Belief was expressed in quarters that the Germans spoken their last word relative to the reparation terms fixed by the Su- preme Council at Paris. This morning, newspapers were unanimous in declaring the German offer yesterday of the equivalent of $7,500,000,000 in reparations was wholly inadequate. “Impudent,” “lu- dicrous” “fantastic” and “grotesque” were some of the adjectives the prin- cipal papers used in commenting on the German terms. Even the pacifist Daily News confessed it was at a loss to understand the German mentality. “It is not easy to speak with pa- tience of this combination of business the Supreme] proposals advanced | “Doubtless the German delegates are arme dwith a whole series of success- ive achemes, each giving @ Uttle more than {ts predecessor.

CHAMP CLARK “WAR HORSE OF DEMOCRATIC P (Continued on Page 4) hastened by the death a year ago of, his only grandchild, Champ (Clark Thomson, 3-year-old son of Mr. and| Mrs. James M. Thomson. i During the summer and fall how- ever, he regained vigor and took an| active part in his campaign for re- election in Missouri. Although he ran ahead of his ticket, Mr. Clark was defeated by approximately 3,000/ votes, Judge T. W. Hukriede of War-} renton, Mo., beipg elected. The former speaker first was sent) to congress in 1892 and after serv- ing one term he was defeated for re- election. Two years later, however,| he was again returned to congress| and had served continuously since. He soon became a national figure and was,chosen speaker when the Demo-| crats gajned control of the house dur-} ing the last year of President Taft's| administration. CAME NEAR BEING | NOMINATED IN 1912 In the Democratic national conyen-| tion at Baltimore in 1912, Champ Clark led on twenty-seven ballots for | the nomination as candidate for pres-| ident and had a cleur majority on} nine ballots, prior to the final naming} of Woodrow Wilson. The two-thirds rule of the convention alone prevented Mr. Clark's nomination. The honor which his party thus paid him was the most notat@e of his public tefe. | In American political history Martin Van Buren was the only other man who failed of the Democratic nomin-| ation for the presidency after having received a majority of the votes i national convention but he the unioue distinction of being elected | subsequently. | William J.

His first work was as a farm hand, clerk in a general store and on a country newspaper. He was educated at Kentucky uni- versity and Bethany College, and the Cincinnati Law school. Por a sho:t time he was president of Marshail College and, at 22, held the record of being the youngest college presi- dent in the United States. In 1876 he moved to Missouri where he took up the study and practice of law, and became prosecuting attorney in Pike county. His next step was into the Missouri legislature where he framed the Missouri Primary law, an anu- trust statute, and an Australian bal- lot law. He was permanent chairman at St. Louis in 1904 ‘and headed the committee that notified Alton B. Park- er of his presidential nomination. He was first sent to the national forum in 1893. Although then regarded as “green,” his strength in the house developed rapidly. When John Sharp ‘Williams left the house for the senate. Representative Clark was made mino-- ity leader by virtue of his seniority on the Ways and Means Committe2 which drafted the Payne-Aldrich tar- iff act. His rervice on-that commit tee in trying to keep duties down won him the regard of the Democrats and his speech of five-hours against tie bill was ono of the notable addresses of that congress. Mr. Clark's sincerity, friendship for opponents and adherents alike, his fairness a a presiding officer and his knowledge uf history, his love of clean anecdotes and humorous stories, and his marvelously retentive memory ranked with his attributos of leader- ship. He welded the minority into a virtual Democratic unit when he was minority leader, and after the ousting of aCnnon, which robbed the speaker: hip of many of its powers, he divid- ed with majority leader Underwood the control of the Democrats in the house and they formed a great work- ing team. Physically he was a giant of a man standing over six feet two inches in height and weighing a trifle more than 200 pounds.
