to rench Plan Of Hit
ting First.

Washington, April 80. Officials
awaited with keen interest today word
of discussions at the meeting of the
allied supreme council at London in
regard to German Preparations. At the
same time Secretary Hughes con
tinued his study of the problem in the
belief that the controversy between
Germany and the allies can still be
adjusted by discussion. The fact that
neither Great Britain nor Italy has def.
initely rejected the German offer as a
basis for possible discussion led to the
belief in some quarters here that the
London conference would not result in
an absolute rejection OF the terms.
1t was pointed out in this connec-
ton that even should France begin
her occupation of additional GermAn
territory tomorrow, this would not
necessarily constitute an insurmount
able barrier to Il final solution of the
question through discussion.
Whether the United States would
have a representative at the meeting
OF the supreme council today was not
indicated by officials who continued
their silence on the whole question of
reparations. In case such course
were taken it was suggested that Ro-
land w. Borden, who formerly repre-
sented this country on the foreign re-
parations commission, might be au.
thori2ed to attend the meetings.
Advise Germans to Accept
London, April 0.-Information has
been received by the French delega-
tion to the meeting of the supreme al
lied council that unofficial American
advisers at Berlin are advising mem
bers Of the German cabinet to accept
the allied terms as laid down in the
agreement reached in Paris last Jan
uary. In this agreement the allies de-
manded 226,000 100000 gold marks in
addition TO the collection of II per
cent export tax on German goods
Baron d'Abernon, British ambassador
TO Germany, has arrived from Berlin
with the most recent declarations
from Foreign Minister Simons as to
what Germany can do. The views of
German foreign minister were not
disclosed and it was said the ambas-
sador would make report on them
when he saw Prime Minister Lloyd
George today.
The view was expressed in French
circles here today that approval of
immediate occupation of the Ruhr
district of Germany Would he asked
by Premier BRAND. A. few days of
preparation would be required, and
the interval between the decision and
the orders directing French forces to
advance, would afford the Germans
time to yield Internationally. if they
were so disposed. French represen-
tatives declared that occupation
should take place in any event as a
guarantee.

 The body was exhumed, and upon evidence said to have been disclosed at the examination, warrant for Spencer's arrest was issued. But he had disappeared, having left Santa Rosa the morning following his wife's burial.
 Found With Friend Detectives found him in San Jose. living at the home of Mrs. E. D. Bar Der, a friend, who had been known also as Mrs. F.. D. Duncks. Spencer had changed his name to Duncks- to avert embarrassment for Mrs. Barber, he explained.
 He was brought back to Santa Rosa for trial. Charges against Mrs. Bar Der of having been implicated in the death of Mrs. Spencer were dismissed.
 Although he has said little. Spen- cer has laid his predicament to what he termed ''the jealous spirit" of Mrs. D. II. Palmer, with whom he and his wife boarded for time.

YANKEES AND GIANTS WILL
 PLAY FOURTH.
 GAME TODAY
RAIN HALTS SATURDAY GAME AND
 WORLDS TITLE CONTENDERS REST, FOR SUNDAY CONTEST; NATIONALS
 CONFIDENT AFTER FRIDAY CAME
Republican A. P. Leased wIreJ

NEW YORK, Oct S-Saturday's world series ball game was rolled up in a wet blanket at the Polo grounds and put permanently to sleep early this afternoon. The fourth game of the series between the Yankees and the Giants officially and, accurately announced as postponed on account of rain. will be played Sunday. at- mospkeric conditions permitting. To- night the rain had ceased falling and 1t looked as if Sunday might be clear. but probably cold.
 The postponement was voted a sorry trick of the weather by the more than 200 eager fans who had reached the grounds before the rain began to fall at l o'clock and the many other thousands who about faced on their journey to the ball park during the downpour in the hour before game time. It was de- cidedly unwelcome, also, to the busi- ness managers of the series, because Of the necessity of honoring rain checks and the other complications over admission tickets arrangements which the disruption of the original schedule brought about
 In the Yankee managerial camp, however. there was no noticeable
 
 procession of contests. For the fore noon had brought the sad news that the teams most potent aggressive factor, the. somewhat well known 'Babe" Ruth. would not be able to take part in the days game because of an infected arm. The Infection caused by the ..babe's- persistency in sliding to bases on top Of a sore near the elbow. the heritage of e scrape of the flesh sustained in g slide to second late fin the American league season. may keep him out of the remainder of the series.
 Manager Miller Higgins of the Yankees had apparently not lost hope tonight that the big fellow with a days complete rest, would be able to get ''in there" Sunday with at least a good share of his accustomed aggresiveness.
 From the Yankee viewpoint, also, the postponement was welcome $ giving Carl Mays an additional day for recuperation after his high class performance in the opening game Wednesday, when he blanked the Giants and started his club off on the two to one advantage in the series which it now holds. Harry Harper, the speedy but somewhat er- ratio southpaw, was looked upon as Manager Higgins likely selection for the pitching assignment if today's game had been played, but it ap- peared certain that with Mays given his three days rest, he would be sent in again against the Nationals to- morrow.
 The Giants, who with dander up and bristling with the confidence their volcanic outburst Of hitting in Fridays victorious hit had gwen them, strained at the leash, and be- moaned the adverse weather. Snuff lin" Phil Douglas was on the cards to twirl for them today. The post ponement, 1t was understood, would make no difference in Manager John McGraw's selection of a box man for Sunday, and Douglas, benefited like Mays by an additional rest period, will without much doubt be in again against Mays tomorrow.
 Ruth was out to the ball park to-

day but was not in uniform and had his arm in a sling. He still favors also his strained leg which has been giving him much trouble for some weeks and sorrowfully said he might not be able to play any more in the series. Should he drop out Huggins intends to play Chick" Fewster, the peppery Baltimorean, in Ruth's &C., customed place in left field, putting Fewster in the lead-off position in the batting order, dropping Elmer Miller down to eighth place, and moving Schang up to Ruth's place as third man on the list. As for the ultimate result of the series there was no apparent lack of confidence in either camp. The edge in games Is still with the American leaguers. with Mays, their star, ready to work again and Hoyt on deck for try to repeat his winning performance of Thursday.
 We will win, with or without Ruth" was the sentiment of the Yankee players, although they didn't attempt to minimize the loss they would suffer should the ssbambino' prove unable to get back into the game. They have been out-slugged by the Giants so far but their fol- lowers point to the records as show
 
 tack never remains long in check and Is liable to break out in force at any time.
 As for their fielding. it has been 100 per cent in all three games The Giants quarters. too, ooze with confidence, McGraw's men re- garding themselves as sure to cap- ture the series. now that they have found their batting eyes. and proved their ability to slam American league pitching to all corners of the lot Supporters of the Giants point out. also, in backing up this contention. that their favorites have been shown three twirlers of world series cali bre-Douglas, Nehf and Barnes whereas the Yankees have been able to produce but Mays and Hoyt as fit contenders.
