pose of housing large delegations, as

10000 in Riots Against
High Prices i'm Bavaria

BERLIN, Aug. 81 (By The Associated
Press demonstrations against high
prices and alleged reactionary methods
of the Bavarian authorities were par
ticipated in last night in Munich by
10000 persons. One man was killed
and one wounded in the process of dis
persing the demonstrators, which was
effected by. the police and soldiers.
The demonstration was described as
aimed at Premier Kahr and Chief of
Police Poehner
Fear is expressed here that the
Bavarian government faces a serious
crisis, as the Radical parties are well
organized and reported to be in q de-
termined mood The authorities had
forbidden the holding of the demon
stration.
Here in Berlin workmen to the num-
Der of 1000 organized a procession
yesterday and marched to Brandon
burg, where former War Minister Won
Stein had been announced to speak
under the auspices of the Nationalist
ex-Soldiers' Association. The work
men occupied the building in which
the speech was to have been. delivered.

Empire"
MIR. Lloyd George and his wife were
here to-day to attend the wedding Of
Sir William Sutherland, member Of
Parliament and recently one of the
Prime Minister'S secretaries, to Miss
Fountain, who is the owner of coal
mines and one of the richest women
in England. After making q congratu-
latory speech at the wedding breakfast
the Freedom Of the Borough of Barns
ley was conferred on Mr.. Lloyd George.
LONDON, Aug. 27 {By The Associ-
ated Press THE Irish negotiations
now have reached the critical stage, in
the British view, as mirrored by the
great majority of newspapers. includ-
ing those previously supporters of
home rule and those advanced Liberal
newspapers which in the past have
gone almost as far as the Sim Fem.
They think the Sim Fem declara-
tons of general principles have gone
far enough and that the time has come
for dropping declarations of principles
and getting down to the business Of
arranging the terms, if the Sim Fem
proposes to negotiate the proposals
which the government offered to set
forth in detail in Prime Minister Lloyd
Georges first letter. The general be-
lief expressed is that canon de Valera,
the Irish Republican leader, having
said all that is necessary to assure
1rishmcn of the Sim Fein's theoretical
standpoint, will do this.
De Valera's Argument Puzzling
The British find it difficult to analyze
Mr.. De Valera's exact position, from
whatever light his latest notes throw
upon it. There is the belief, or at least
the hope, that the policy of the Irish
republican Cabinet will be, while con-
stantly affirming Irelands claim to in
dependence, to negotiate at the same
time terms for dominion status under
the new watchword of Consent Of the
governed" In other words, that, while
clinging to the assertion of the in
herent right to independence. the Cab
met will consent" to accept dominion
status, bargaining to the last ditch FOR
the nearest approach to independence
possible.
Two labor leaders who are friendly to
the Irish aspirations gave their views
to-day. Arthur Henderson, speaking at
Carlisle, said the situation was critical,
but not hopeless "An almost insur-
mountable obstacle is the fact that the
Ulster Parliament already has been
created" he added.
j. H. Thomas, leader of the railway
men, who is visiting Dublin, said: "The
atm osphere I see in Ireland is con-
ducive to peace"
Tho outstanding fact in the posi-
ton Of the Irish negotiations is that
both Mr.. Lloyd George and Mr.. De Va
lera ended their last notes by state
ments of a desire or willingness to con-
tInue the discussions.

Leaders Regard Situation as
One Still Holding Promise
for an Ultimate Agreement

DUBLIN, Aug. q (Bv The Asso-
ciated Press).-The Irish Republican
parliament met in secret session to-
day to consider the reply of Prime
Minister Lloyd George to the letter of
canon de Valera, the republican
leader, on the British peace proposals.
Most Of the deputies aftcrward scat
tered for their homes, while the men,
bers of the Republican Cabinet, who
will draft a reply to the Prime Minis
ter, went into the country for the
weekend. They will return Monday.
The next meeting of the Cabinet has
not been fixed, but it is fully expected
that the negotiations for a settlement
of the Irish problem will continue.
The message from the Prime Minister
arrived here last night, and its init
nation that the British government
would not consider any unreasonable
delay in continuing negotiations
caused some apprehension. Leaders of
the Dali Eireann and members Of the
Cabinet Of de Valera appeared, how
ever not to consider that the situation
had become any more delicate than it
had been since the exchange began.
Commenting on the letter from Lloyd
george, Inc rreemanS JOurnal SAID
to-day:
an our opinion, the Prime Minis
ter's latest communication bears the
construction which Jan C. SHUTS,
Premier of the Union of South Africa,
put upon the original offer from the
British government"
"The Irish Independent" urged the
Prime Minister to readjust or modify
the conditions to which the Irish lead
ers have taken exception, and said the
alternative would be renewal of war
ION scale that would appal humanity
and would ultimately discredt and
disgrace England"
with the will to make peace on both
Sides" the newspaper said, "it ought
to be possible to arrive by a confer
ence at basis upon which settlement
that is honorable and satisfactory to
both sides could be effected"
"The Irish Times" said the Immediate
effect of de Valera's note to London
and the reply of the Prime Minister
had been to bring negotiations to a
very critical point.
"The undoubted gravity of the situa-
ton calls for cool heads and clear
minds on both sides of the Irish Sea-"
the newspaper added. "A wearisome
exchange of mere notes can serve no
useful purpose. Sooner or later some
definite decision must be reached"

Partisan Fury Unleashed

BERLIN, Aug. 81 (By The Associated
Press).-No single event in post-revo.
lutionary Germany has unleashed par
tlsan fury with such vehemcnce as the
assassination of Erzberger
"Vorwaerts" is outspoken in condem-
nation of the National and German Peo-
pies parties, their leaders and their
newspaper organs, whom it charges with
moral responsibility for the murder
because of their "unrelenting persccu-
ton" Of the former Minister, who. it
declares, when the collapse came, had
the courage to stand by the Father
land and negotiate the armistice for
which Hindenburg and Ludendorff
begged on their knees after William
fled to Holland"
"The shots that killed Erzberger
threaten to become a danger signal"
says the "Vossische Zeitung," which ex-
presses the fear that the work of in
ternal reconstruction, which was pro-
crossing hopefully, has been placed
in jeopardy.
The Socialist and Communist news
papers call upon the masses to Join
q common rally for the fight against
reactionaries along the whole front.
The Nationalistic organs, visiblv dis
tressed over the murder, make edito-
rial efforts to denounce the deed, at the
same time cautioning against undue
haste in arriving at any conclusions
while the murder has not yet been
cleared up.
Students Held as Suspects
Erzberger's body has been taken to
Bad Griesbach. 1t will be brought to
Berlin next Wednesday for burial.
Two students are reported to have
been arrested at Ofenburg under sus-
picion that they were the youths who
committed the crime.
The Berlin police are seeking a man
who is declared by witnesses to have
declared recently that he was on a
hunt for Erzberger.
Deputy Karl Diez, who was with Err
berger when the assassination took
place, describes the assassins as two
well-dressed youths who followed Herr
Erzberger and himself, then suddenly
appeared in front of them and ac-
costed the former minister for the pur-
pose of fixing his identity. Both there
upon drew revolvers and fired in a
cold-blooded manner at short range.

Germany to Help Rebuild
War-DevastaSed Regions

WIESBADEN, Germany, Aug. 81
An agreement by which Germany is to
furnish materials for reconstruction in
the devastated regions of France was
reached to-day in negotiations between
Louis Loucheur, French Minister for
Liberated Regions, and Dr. Walter
Rathenau, German Minister of Recon-
struction.
The plan will be submitted to the re-
spective governments for approval.
An official note says the agreement is
divided into two parts. The first in
dicates the general condition of the
agreement and provides for the forma-
ton Of two private societies, one
French and one German, to serve as
Intermediates between the German in
dustrals and the French sufferers.
The second part embodies the con-
tract which is to be concluded between
the two societies, and specifies the con-
ditions of delivery of material to the
French.
Protocols dealing with rcstitutions
in kind are reserved for further cx-
animation

The "Berliner Tageblatt" reveals

declares Ludendorff's military crowd

lid Of their Pandora's box and let out
the poisonous fumes of reaction upon
the country"
These questions are then put by the
".,Tageblatt": "Is this latest murder
the forerunner or signal for other
similar deeds? Is Germany standing
on the threshold of new thrills? Are
our catastrophe politicians plotting
against the republic ?"
If the conservative press merely asks
these questions, the Socialist press is
much more frank and anwers them
without reservation. All the Socialist
papers reprint the statement issued by
"Sozialistische correspondents" which
says:
LET there be no mistake. The truth
IS out. Every German worker knows
to-day quite clearly that the hangman

greatest scoundrels in the history of
