PARIS. May 22.-The following
statement was made by high French
personality. who. because of his inn
portant position, preferred not to
have his name mentioned in connec-
tion with it. His views may be ac-
cepted authoritatively as those of the
French governmnt.
Negotiations are going on between
French and German business men,
bankers and traders under the
auspices of their respective govern
mentS in an attempt to arrive at a
general economic agreement or at
least at solution of certain definite
number of questions. The delegates
are placing themselves on practical
grounds. The most important sub
jects to be considered are:
Il. The establishment of normal rail-
way relations between Germany and
France.
''2. An agreement for the exchange
of French iron and German coke, the
latter in excess of the amount due
for reparations
%. The conditions under which
France can supply raw materials to
be manufactured in Germany.
German products will help to re-
duce the high cost of living here
which is result very much desired
by the mass Of the French people The
present negotiations are the outcome
of plan conceived by Premier Mile
rand which has long been applauded
by technical men and publicists
france has a great interest in buy
ing goods in a country with depreci-
ated currency and Germany has an
enormous interest in providing oc-
cupation for her crowds of unem-
ployed. Besides. in this way she may
obtain the means of facilitating her
indemnity payments"

Soviet Emissa~y Declares That

HAMBURG, May ga series of
articles on the activities in Copen-
hagen of Maxim Litvinoff, Russian
soviet representative there, is appear
ing in the Fremdenblatt. The arti-
cles are from the newspapers Copen-

preached by Litvinofr with overtures
with the view of propagating insid-
ious pro-bolshevist commentaries in
the German newspapers.
I'm Germany" the correspondent
reports Litvinoff as having said, re
sistance is harder to overcome than
in Russia by reason of the fact that
the middle class system is too deeply
rooted. In Germany, therefore, it will
be necessary to place our propaganda
on a wider basis and have it more
Systematically organized than hith-
erto.
There is little prospect of a revo-

j. S. COURT DENIES
/. REFERENDUM VOTE

Washington, June 1.-The Su-
preme Court in an unanimous opin-
ION held that federal constitutional
amendments cannot be submitted to
popular vote for ratification by
states having referendum provisions
in their constitutions.
The method of ratifying amend
ments, the court held, is a national
power specifically granted by the
federal constitution and the states
have no authority 10 provide other
wise. In so holding, the court de-
clared imperative provisions Of the
Ohio state constitution authorizing
submission of federal amendments
to referendum for ratification and
overturned state supreme court de-
crees dismissing Injunction proceed
ings brought by George S. Hawk,
Cincinnati attorney, in a tax pay
ers' suit to enjoin submission OF the
prohibition and woman's suffrage
amendments to a referendum vote.
Next to the cases involving the
validity OF the prohibition amend
ment and the enforcement, the Ohio
referendum cases were considered
the most important before the su-
preme court. Had the court ruled
otherwise. the decision would have
most likely resulted, according to
court officials. in the reopening OF
the suffrage question in approximate
" a dozen states and the filing OF
petitions for a referendum vote.
with thirty-five states, one less than
the constitutional three-fourths hav-
ing already ratified the suffrage
amendment. an opposite decision
would unquestionably have banished
all hopes of ratification prior to the
November elections.

Colossal Campaign Budgets

Evidently a considerable part Of
Governor Lowden's campaign money
went to pay for letters, pictures, cir
cuiars and literature sent into Texas
This office has had patches of Low
den stuff just about every week for
two or three months. 1t must have
cost money to print and mail the
matter. The expense, though was
planned to stop there and the re-
quest to- print in the Texas papers
was never accompanied by any show
of remuneration. hence the stories
went to the waste basket.

LOST FAST GAME
TO POST IN THE 9Th

The fans who were lucky enough
to be at Wolf Park, Wednesday af-
ternoon, saw game that equaled
any major league product OF the
great American pastime. Snyder
was on the wrong end OF the score
but that does not by any means indi-
cate that they were outclassd. The
game belonged to either team until
the 9th and but for an unlucky COM
bination of short hits and an error
we might have been out there yet.
Frances, the centerfielder OF Post,
ought to be put in the hoose-gow
for SO years for that lucky one-hand-
ed catch that he made of Joe Thomp-
sons hard drive in the 9TH. II he
hadn't got his claws on the old pill
we would have had a different tale
to tell. Joe says he is trying to
make arrangements with Frances to
get his rabbits foot or his horse
shoe or whatever he carries for luck.
And while we're talking about
Thompson let me tell you that there
is one nifty little ball player and
he's going to make a lot OF the visit
ing teams sorry that he's playing for
Snyder.
Old Red Hassel pitched his usual
good game and deserved to win. The
support was shaky at time but more
practice will do lot toward making
a steady machine.
4 small but noisy crowd OF root
ers attended the game and left sat
isfied that they had gotten their
moneys worth.
Rain caused the cancellation of the
second game with Post and We will
have to wait until later in the sea-
son TO get our revenge. And wei
get it, too.
