Berlin, March 2s (by the Asso-

which it was expected would Sc
cure a three-fourth majority at to-
morrow's sitting of the national
assembly, has met with a luke
warm reception, even from the
coalition press. and the eleventh

looked for great benefits to the
country from his experience and
business ability in the resumption
or commercial relations with for

Captain Cuno's decision is be-

Hamburg American Steamship
company begging him not to de-

the federation of labor is the con-
trolling factor in the present crisis

Dusseldorf, March 27,-A speedy
settlement Of the warfare in the
Ruhr mining and industrial dis
trct, which has been in progress
for the last eight days, and of the
struggle between troops and work
men elsewhere in Germany, IS
hoped for by the members of the
workers executive committee here
as the result of the proposal draft
ed by the generas conference of
workmen in Essen today. This
proposal provides ror the cessa-
ton of the siege OF Wesel and
other uprisings. The reichswehr
troops of the Ruhr district. con-
centrated at Vessel have been be
leaguered there for the past SIX
days.
The terms of the workmen's
proposal have been telegraphed to
Berlin but the governments ac-
ceptance had not been received up
to a late hour Saturday night,
The proposals, according to the
workmen leaders here. provide
that both the reichswehr and the
workmen around Wesel and else
where cease hostilities and each
force retire a certain distance, a
neutral zone being established, but
that the workmen be permitted to
retain their arms According to the
agreement the settlement previous
Is reach,S at D.slcf<ld would be
enforced, with the addition of the
clauses lust cited.
A member Of the Dusseldorf
executive committee, Frederick
Stahl, said frankly today that the
Bielefeld agreement had not been
enforced because the workmen's
army was reluctant to trust the
government to fulfill its part.
Under the present plans, If an
agreement is reached the various
executive committees now said to
be in control of all the cities in
the Ruhr district would resign
within ten days after it became
effective, but would reserve the
right TO resume control If they
deemed it necessary.

Constantnople March 27 (by the
Associated Press). every
day adds to the uncertainty of the
people of Constantinople. This
city is the center of the great fer
ment in the Near East, but knows
little about the decisions of the
Paris and London foreign offices
and gets such heavily censored
news from the Levantine points,
that New York and Washington
doubtless have fuller information
on the Turkish situation.
Commercial interests are eagerly
discussing the possibility Of liquor
prohibition in Constantinople and
trade conditions il the straits are
neutralized. Many merchants be-
lieve that although Constantinople
would then be the ans-shipment
port for the Black sea trade, it's i'm
portanCe would be lessened as the
capital of a Turkey reduced to
about six million people,
In that event the Black sea ports
would probably assume greater inn
portanCe, especially Ratoum, which
can provide an unlimited supply Of
fuel oil, and stands as the gateway
to Georgia, Azervaiian and Persia.
Many students of near eastern
commerce expect that Piraeus. the
port of Athens viii become much
more important as a trans-ship- r
ping port when Turkish control of
the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus
is ended.
After Great Britain, the United
States has at the present time
more shipping in BeVantine waters
than any other nation. The Amer
lean steamers include the Massil-
Ion Bridge, Hog Island, Bird City,
Schoodic, and Chester Valley at
Constantinople; the Potoka, iona,
West Pocosset, Chincha and Gaff-
ney at Batoum; the Orizaba, Fara-
day, Haddon and Siboney, in Greek
waters; the Navajo at Malta, the
Sangamon at Novorossisk; the va
gina at Smyrna and six destroyers,
navy craft also in the neighbor-
hood of Constantinople,
Discussing American shipping in
the Near East prominent Amer
lean business man said:
81 am afraid that this is like a
railroad which is trying to run
without terminals and stations. We
have ships, but we haven't Amer
lean shipping agents to handle
them. We haven't facilities at the
various ports and are at the mercy
of foreign agents backed by their
governments, which are far more
interested in assuring their COM
mercial future than in protecting
the rights of the minorities, about
whom they talk SO gladly"

American continent, at least 1907

Mr.. Macarthur brought to town n
seven-pound potato raised on his
farm. When the giant tuber was
placed on view in a show window,
crowds stared at it as at some
strange vsitant from Mars. Many
people, recognizing its resemblance
to the ordinary spud and yet doubt
ing their eyes, asked what it was.
When told it was a potato, they
would hardly believe it. suspecting
some trick.
The potato that balanced the
scales at an even seven pounds was
of the Green Mountain variety. Mr..
Macarthur sold, his potato crop at
$50 a ton. Twenty specimens
picked from his field at random
weighey seventy-seven pounds or
more than three pounds apiece.
