French Government Denounces Germany's Reparation Proposa
Reply to be Made by Poincaré Following Conference With Belgian Officials
The cabinet objected to the offer on the following points. 1. the amount of 30,000,000,000 gold marks is insufficient to meet war damages; 2. the guarantees don't safeguard France; 3. the conditions attack are unjustifiably to the French who wish complete surrender.
Paris, May 3.—The French cabinet voted unanimously today to reject the German offer of reparation made by a group of French officials. Premier Palcare denounced the German reparation proposition as unacceptable today as the cabinet was called into extraordinary session to vote on the issue. President Millerard presided.

Premier Polincare will confer with the Belgians to determine the phraseology of the reply. A copy will be communicated to all of the allies.

Averages of Gifts
To Memorial Fund
Amount to $98.80
Alumni and Friends of K. U.
Realize Responsibility
to Institution,
Says Hill
All the institutions listed above are state supported. When the comparison was made, Kansas had 9,000 contributors, while Illinois had 18,761; Michigan, 23,000; Wisconsin, 15,500; Kentucky, 10,400; Purdue, 6,000; Georgia, 4,738.
The average gift made to the University of Kansas Memorial fund is $88.89, which compares to an average of $106 for the University of Illinois, $83 for Ohio State University; $66 for the Michigan Union; $70 for the University of Wisconsin; $103 for Pennsylvania State; $257 for Purdue, of Indiana; and $251 for the University of Florida; which compares to figures presented at a recent meeting of alumni secretaries by John Price Jones.
Begin to See Responsibility
The survey of college financial campaigns indicates strikingly the growing realization of responsibility of alumni and friends to their state institution, according to Alfred G. Hill, alumni secretary.
The typical campaigns listed, of ourse, are only a partial list of those who participate in school. A significant thing to the tanan study the survey is that tanasen studying in practically a median position among the state institutions
When the campaign survey as presented by John Price Jones, alumni representatives were present from practically all the schools included. It was the case that a number of contributors was of at least as great value to the institutions as the amounts. "Interest goes with the gifts," has become a truism.
Appeal to Former Students
The present appeal to bring the Memorial total past the Million Dollar goal is primarily to 8,000 former student leaders have not yet subscribed and to a wider circle of interest in Kansas and Kansas City, Mo., who may logically have an interest in the development of the University of Kansas as an asset to the welfare of the state.
The Memorial Corporation also made an agreement earlier in the campaign with the James Wood Green Memorial Association that it would carry out the plans for the memorial statue of "Uncle Jimmy" to be executed by Daniel Chester French.
