German Reports to League
Conference at Brussels
Put, the National Debt
at 24O Billion Marks
Huge Deficit for 1920
Loss of Territory, Popula-
tom, Iron, Shipping and
Colonies Is Dwelt Upon

BRUSSELS, Sept, 26 (By The Asso-
eiated Press) - German reports to the
international Financial Conference pro-
vided for by the League of Nations in
progress here attribute the present
the length of the war. Germanys de-
cline in financial strength is shown
clearly by the fact that the national
debt of the Empire proper, exclusive of
those of confederated, states, has risen
from 5,000,000,000 marks before the war
to 100000, 100000 marks. The govern
ment's budget estimates for 1920 put
receipts at 40,Q00,000,000 marks, op-
posed TO estimated demands of
10000, 100000 marks, thus leaving a
deficit of 39,000,000,0o0 marks.
17,O00,0 100000 marks were paid by Ger
many in 1919, according to the terms
of the peace treaty, mostly for repara-
tions, and 25,000,O00,000 marks have
been provided for in the budget of 1920
Tor the same purpose.
Loss of Colonies
Loss of territory, of population, Of
iron production and merchant shipping
is dwelt on, and attention is called to
the fact that Germany's relation to the
economic situation of the world has
been greatly changed through the loss
Of her colonies.
A table annexed to the report shows
that the exports Of Germany. including
products furnished or account Of repa
rations, exceeded imports by 100000
900 marks in May The balance Of
trade against Germany in 1910 was o.
100000 marks.
The report explains that the increase
the depreciation in the value Of the
mark
Though the public session of the
financial conference has been charac-
terized only by the presentation Of
an enormous mass Of data and fig
ures. informal conferences in the
lobbics Of the Chamber Of Representa-
tives and the committee rooms have
furnished occasion for the leading
delegates to exchange views and pave
the way for the real work of the con-
ference, which will begin tomorrow
when the British e-President, R. II.
Rrand, will open the debate on the
general financial situation.
The exchange Of views has not de-
veloped any tangible proposition, but
worlds financial troubles through reg
ular financial channels and no longer
look for the various governments to
aid one another. The German delegates
are among tfN most assiduous ard at
tentive at the conference, though they
are manifestly i'll at ease.
German Pledges Epidemic
Herr Bergman, head of the delega-
ton, told the correspondent chat he
had come here with the purpose Of
earnestly cooperating in an effort to
find cure for the financial ills of
Europe and the world, and wanted
above all to avoid any incident Con-

permitted to visit him.
CORK, Sept. 26.-The condition of
the eleven hunger strikers in Cork Jail
is unchanged, with the exception of
Hennessy and Burke, who have taken

Mexico Will Let

Political Battles
Government Refuses to Act
i'm Michoacan and Aguas-
calientes Unless Federal
Authority Is Challenged
Special Cable to The Tribune

Copyright. 1920. New York Tribune Inc.
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 26.--The situa-
tion in Michoacan has been aggravated
by the disbanding of the State Su-
preme Court and several local boards
of aldermen by order of the Governor,
General Mugica. The Federal govern
ment still refuses to take a hand in
the election controversy there, insist
ing that the citizens must settle their
own affairs as long as the authority of
the national government is not chal-
lenged.
Officials here say that every effort
was made during the elections, at
which were chosen the several candi-
dates who claim the Governorship to
avoid even semblance of Federal
interference, and the government does
not intend to destroy the effects Of
it's impartiality by taking sides in the
present controversy.
In Aguas Calientes, Jose Lara has
ousted the provisional Governor and
set up an administration Of his own.
There have heen new disorders in that
state. but they are not regarded as
serious. The Department of War has
issued orders to the commanders Of
garrisons and the director of military
operations III Aguas CalienteS TO re-
frain from interference in the politi-
cal squabble except when necessary to
assist the civil authorities in the main
tenance of order and to take this step
only when requested to do so.
The difficulties of the political situ-
alton in these two states have en-
CROSSED the attention ,6f the two
houses Of Congress the last two days.
The President has been requested to
furnish all available information about
the controversies. The Senate has ap.
pointed commission to visit the scene
of the disorders.
Reports from Vera Cruz say that
Felix Diaz does not intend to yield
to the governments demand that he
be exiled. Friends quote him as say
ing: ~ haven't fought for the last five
years to bring about the present state
of affairs only to be forced to leave
the country."

PARIS, Sept. 26.-Roland Rohlfs, the
American aviator, who is here to take
part in the James Gordon Bennett
international air race Tuesday, fell
while driving the Texas Wildcat to-
day between Etampes and Villa Cou-
blay. The machine, which was one Of
the American entries in the race, was
wrecked. Rohlfs's arm was broken,
but otherwise he was net seriously in
jured.
Although Rohlfs's injury is serious
blow to America, it is understood that
he might not have been able to par
tcipate anyway in the big race. His
contract with the Curtiss Company is
said to bar him from undertaking dan
gerous fights. Moreover, Rohlfs's plane
was one OF two entries owned by
S. E. J. Cox, the Texas OH millionaire.
and only one could fly in Tuesdays
contest. The Cactus Kitten, which
technically is entered as belonging TO
Mrs; Cox, is the faster of the two
machines, in the opinion Of NY Cox,
deciding factor in sending Coombs and
the Cactus Kitten in as his only repre-
sentative.
Cox passed the afternoon with
Coombs and Rohlfs to-day at Villa
Coubay trying to decide finally which
Of his two machines should be put in
the big contest. Rohlfs's accident seems
to have decided the qustton for him.
Clarence Coombs, special correspond
ent for The Tribune. will pilot the
Cactus Kitten in Tuesdays race.
French Not Overconfident
French aviation experts are not any
too optimistic over the hopes of vic
tory, in view Of Lecointe's performance
yesterday when he reached speed of
only 282 kilometers an hour.
1--WE must make 300 kilos or lose the
cup" is the almost unanimous verdict
in French circles.
The Americans are confident that
they will come in in first, second and
third places, far ahead Of their rivals.
Asked what he thought of the French
trials, Cox said to-day:
"Lecointe's speed was nothing. We
will surprise you Tuesday. The Amer
lean planes are going to do $50 kilo-
meters an hour. Nobody in Europe can
beat that"
A great throng is expected on the
flying field early Tuesday morning. All
rooms in the hotels at Etampes and
even nearby villages have been re-
served. Special trains will be run
from Paris. The police of Etampes
have taken precautions against acci-
dents at the race by roping off part
of the course.

the conclusion Of the French trials
yesterday Edward NJ. Rinehart, the
American flyer, who will pilot a Day
ton-Wright machine, took the air and
gave splendid exhibition, apparently
desiring 70 show that rumors that his
machine has difficulty in making turas
are groundless. His time over the
short course was about I65 miles an
hour. He made perfect landing.
F. p. Raynham, the British flyer, gave
his Martynside twenty-minute airing
to-day. Harry G. Hawker. who was to
fly a Sopwith machine, has been def
nitely scratched.
Captain r. w. Schroeder, the Amer
lean aviator, tuned up his Verville-
Packard, but did not leave the ground.
French pilots standing near by seemed
greatly impressed by the roar of the
motor, Lecointe exclaiming: "I1l make
sure got to be up at the same time rs
this fellow; he will use up all the air"

vorite, with Captain SchroedeB second

Dry u. S. Saves 2 Billion.
Gov. Milliken Declares
Most Business Better, Except
That Of Undertaken; Poverty
and Crime Decreased. He Saws

WASHINGTON, Sept. Prohibition
was credited with producing saving
of $4,000, 100000 for the nation in the
last year by Governor Mllken of
Maine in addressing the closing ses-
sion tonight of the fifteenth Jnterna-
tionnl Congress Against Alcoholism.
"Prohibition," he declared, has made
most kinds of business better and has
injured no legitimate business except
that Of the unde rtaker
The outstanding results Of prohibi
tion," he continued, "are the saving of
about two billion dollars waste in ex-
penditure and tremendous decrease
in crime, with it's attendant poverty
and wretchedness
From the standpoint of practical
government, however, the most impor-
tant contribution that prohibition has
made to the welfare of the nation is
to be found in the simple fact that a
new generation will be growing up un-
tainted by the liquor habit and un-
hampered by the conditions OF squalor
and wretchedness which the liquor
habit has imposed upon so many
thousand innocent children in the past"
