BUT CAN GERMANY
 PAY INDf NNlTY?
yrnderlip Believes 3 Billion Marks a Year Is Limit. if Industrial Struc-
 ture of Europe Is to Be Saved

New York, Jan. 29.-"Germany will -aeyer be able to pay the war indemnity Txed by the allies" Frank A. Wander aip. international authority on econ -sa4fcs declared in an interview to- -night
 This statement may be regarded as particularly significant in view of the fact that several noted economists re- cmstiy have stated that world indus krzaI situation hinges largely on the Grman separations question. Bern ard N. Baruch predicted that if an ntnount were fixed within Germany's capacity to pay" American industries wpnld respond instantly as the result -uf the reopening of the world markets una unemployment would be quickly wiped out
 Limit at Billion Marksl
 yanderiip said he believed the Ger rugns would be able to negotiate the nisuisities up to 8 billion marks year, Out that figure would marks their ca phcity-
 AIf the allies should insist on Ger many attempting to carry out the ar sanpenents made in Paris today, the German children in the future would .ssut thank Herbert Hoover for keep jag them from starving to death sanw."
 aThere seems to be no question that x26 billion marks is beyond Ger --a- tn continued. "They might be able to szaeet their obligations up to billion marks a year, but it is hardly possible a;cv could pay the billion annuity prayided for in the final period of fhirty-one years. and I doubt if they could avoid defaulting in the billion marks period.
 Affects Rest of Europe.
 s'The total wealth of Germany be- fore the war. according to the last available figures, was around 20 bil- afnn dollars, which is nominally about 60 billion marks, Since then not zsIy has that country's industrial life been totally disorganized, but it has inst valuable territories.
 Entirely aside from Germany's z5siiity to pay, however. the effect of a prohibitive indemnity upon the al- zics themselves, and their associates, -xhould be considered. It would be certain to disorganize the whole in- Austriai life of Europe and seriously affect the United States and other countries. Germany, naturally, will have to pay in goods, and that means her former enemies will be forced into competition with low-priced manufac- tured articles. Germany would be so poor herself that she could not be considered as market for the goods M other countries.
 Predicts German Refusal.
 Another angle for the allies them- SGvea to consider is that in making ID their budgets they will count upon 0se German separations as source q revenue Should Germany default d any time, their financial plans xpuld would be greatly disarranged."
 Fanderliu predicted that Germany EouId refuse to accept the agreement n the meetings scheduled to be held Sa London, February 28. In that cwent, he said, the allies probably -would have to undertake the task of revising their figures to level com pstible with Germany's ability to pay.

Her Annulment Plea
Rivals Best Seller

SALEM. Mass, May e.-The matri-
monial predicament of Mrs. Bertha J..
Bnowlton. an attractive young authoress
OF swampscott, who lost her plea for
annulment Of her marriage to Arthur
Llewellyn Griniths Of Marblehead, ex-
plorer and friend of former President
Taft, is stranger and more involved than
any domestic problem Of fiction from
her own pen.
Mrs. Knowlton's latest book is said to
be based on her two tempestuous mar
riages between the ages Of fifteen and
twenty five. Mrs. Knowlton, who pre-
fers the name, although her first hus-
band divorced her six years ago, by
the courts ruling is still Grinith's wife
under the Vermont ceremony which
Judge Quinn alluded to as a pre-
tended marriage"
Gri6iths had a wife, Mrs. Stella Wood
Griniths OF Wlnslow, Maine. whom the
court found he had not divorced be-
fore marrying Mrs. Knowlton.
And there developed the matrimonial
enigma. Either Mrs. Knowlton is still
Griniths wife, or the years they lived
together following the Vermont marriage
were not spent in legal wedlock. Or she
never had any legal claim on Griffiths.
Or Grifiths had two wives Judge
Quinn's decision would indicate that I'M
der legal ethics the Vermont ceremony
would have no standing in court.
Mrs Knowlton, mother OF one child and
twice married. at the age of %, is left
in a matrimonial middle. She is So
cially prominent on the North Shore.

British DOminiOns
Storm at Secrecy

LONDON, May Representatives OF
British Dominions in London are fiercely
protesting against the mantle Of sec
recy under which the proceedings Of
the Imperial Conference in London next
June are lying hidden.
The two things that the Doninions
are most anxious to discuss are the
Anglo Japanese Alliance and the Irish
question. They have been assured that
no steps will be taken toward the re-
newal of the Japanese Alliance without
their concurrence, but they want to
know in advance what constitutes the
policy Of the British Cabinet in order
that 1t may be discussed by their re-
spective Governments before the dele
gates leave for London. So far they
have been unsuccessful in obtaining any
information.
A similar position exists with regard
to ireland. The British authorities are
fully aware Of the strength Of feeling
existent in the DOminions in regard to
Irish questions and especially In refer
enee to the Administration Of Sir Ha-
mar Greenwood. But, although they
have invited colonial representatives to
put their views forward, yet there
is not the slightest assurance that these
Will be in any way acted upon. This
also is causing considerable discomfort.
Apart from this. there is also a feel
ing that the dominions viii be asked
to assent to a scheme for closer union
with the mother country. both fiscal
and otherwise, but without any oppor-
tunity of the scheme being put for
ward for popular approval beforehand.
Great efforts are being made to per-
suade the British government to come
out into the open and state its views
on these matters. Any failure to 10 so
will probably imperil the success Of the
conference in advance.

BURGLAR LEAVES
$4,000 ESTATE
Was Shot While at Work by
Grocer.

Although Wasyl Martynk was shot and
killed while attempting to commit
burglary, it developed today that he left
an estate valued at about $1,000, 1t was
announced at the Marion County Probate
Court. The court appointed Edwin
Steers, local attorney, as administrator.
1t was announced that the estate con-
sisted Of an insurance policy of $1,000,
some property which was partially paid
for and other personal property.
The records in the Probate Court gives
the name as Wasyl Martynk, but it was
first announced at police headquarters as
that Of Martin Vasti, who had been room
ing at 975 West Pearl street
According to the detectives, Martynk
was shot and killed when he attempted to
fee from the grocery Of James NJ. Smith,
122 GeisendorH street, early Saturday
morning. He was killed by Smith, pro-
prietor of the store, who discovered the
burglar In his store.
The detectives claim that Martynk, who
is a Russian Pole, has served time in
prison.

Cat Came Back to
Life Nine Times

MANCHESTER, N. H. May e.-Max. the
janitor at the police station, is firmly
convinced that the saying in regard to
cats having nine lives is considerably
more than a saying.
A man brought three kittens to the
station with the request that they be
put where there would be no further
worry over the high price Of milk or
the housing problem. The kittens were
placed In the gas box in the basement
constructed for the primary purpose Of
sending dogs on their long sleep, but oc-
casionally tried out on cats. The gas was
turned on and the pussies apparently
gave up the ghost Later they were
found loudly calling for their breakfast,
In lieu of which the gas was turned on
for a second time, and for a second time
the kittens went to sleep and awakened
again.
Max says If the gas holds out he will
endeavor to take the other seven lives
which he is convinced they possess.
