ONLY u. S. CAN MAKE
LOAN. IS BERLIN VIEW
Erzberger Says Action AUaits
Peace Ratification.
Rr the Associated Press.

BERLIN, Oct. / delayed Discussing
internal financial problems as well as
foreign exchange, Matthias Erzberger,
Minister of Finance, told the National
Assembly to-day the Only country capa-
BILE of financing a big loan was the
United States, and negotiations at this
source were impossible until the treaty
of peace was ratified.
Herr Erzberger told the legislators the
Government was exerting every possible
influence to halt the downward tendency
OF the mark. and announced the appro-
priation of 100000, 900 marks (nor-
mally 1925, 000,000) to keep down. food
prices. In closing he said: rge
Let us not deceive ourselves. Give the
German workingman the necessary food
and he will soon recover his willingness
to work. and thus improve the nations
ability to. protect itself. the prime re-
quirement of which is economic improve
ment."
1t seemed the irony Of fate decreed
that the first bin submitted to the Ma
tional Assembly upon its Berlin debut
was measure providing reimbursement
and Naturalization for losses growing
out Of Spartacan riots here last winter
which were directly responsible for the
Assembly's migration to Weimar.
The debate resolved the question OF
whether the nation or the local COM
munity would bear the cost. which will
aggregate approximately $4,000, 00l
marks (normally s16,000,000) for com.
pensation and damages. The bill was
referred to a special commission.

For six weeks prior to the arrival of

LAVA RIVER 1000 FIT.
WIDE FLOWS TO SEA
Eruption of Mauna Loo Is
Visible for Twenty Miles.
BY the Associated Press.

HILo, T. II Oct. "A stream Of lava
900 feet wide Is flowing into the sea
at the rate of from twenty to thirty miles
an hour from the crater Of Volcano
Mauna Loa, which first threw forth lava
Saturday. The stream or lava is now a
virtual river from twenty to thirty feet
high Where tho lava flows into the
sea the waters are boiling for half c
mile and are strcwn with dead fish,.
The sides OF the flow are banked up BY
cool lava, and then red hot boulders car
ried in the stream explode when they hit
the water, Property damage resulting
from the activity of Dauna Loa has not
been large, although some forests and a
few houses have been destroyed. The
lava flow is mostly through barren
country covered by previous flows from
the crater.
Near the Eource OF the flow the vol
cano remains normal and Is seemingly
unaffected, although great clouds OF
steam can be seen coming from the peak.
Volcano Kilauea, IN an adjacent peak
remains unaffected by Mauna Loa's
activity. Thousands of persons are 60

U. S. DUTY TO BLOCK
CLASH IN ADRIATIC
Navy Forces Expected to Go to
Any Extreme Short of
Actual Battle.
ITALIANS ARE MAssING

cans and Not the Supreme
Council.
By a stag Correspondent OF The Sun

CopVrt0ht, 1919, al rt0hs reserved
PARIS, Oct 2.-Participation of the
American naval forces in the Adriatic
in averting a clash between the Ital-
ians and the Jugo-Slavs to any extent
short of actually joining in the. battle
on one side or the other is justified, in
the view of the United States represen-
tatlves here. This view also was en-
phaslzed yesterday in an important re-
statement Of the Serbian delegation in
which it was declared that an American
warship with marines aboard was still
at the pier at Trau, while the Italians
were massing In the roads leading to
the town.
The point made by the American rep
resentatives here is that the American
forces are under discretionary orders
permitting them to land at any time,
even with machine guns, but that they
are not expected to exert anything more
than moral suasion. Moral suaslon at
the point of machine guns sometimes
averts fight and sometimes it does not.
1t is admitted that if while exerting this
moral suaslon the Americans were at
tackled they probably would fight back.
According to the American mission
here the American ships in the Adriatic
are under the direct orders of Secretary
Daniels and not under those OF the mis-
sion or of the Supreme Council. Further
more it is stated that the Supreme
Council could not give any orders to the
American forces. However. the Ameri-
can commander reports daily to Under
Secretary Polk here in regard to all de-
velopments.
The Socialist deputies in the Parlia-
ment which has just been dissolved
have addressed a manifesto to the coun-
l'try strongly condemning the war, which
has left behind it a threatening pre-
ponderance of professional militarism.
The manifesto continues:
Far from serving liberty, war il
death to all liberties
The manifesto declares that the Nitt
Cabinet having tried for memorable
! financial reasons to demobilze, wa.
confronted with military sedition. L
| describes the internal situation as ter
rible and says that the reactionarie!
may try to bring about a coup d'etat
1t hopes, however, that the worknfen IL
their solder uniforms will prevent this
In conclusion the manifesto urges tn,
workmen to rise and crush down tn,
war on humanity and demands a peac,
based upon liberty. Justice and SO
cialism
