BERLIN, Dec. 7.Additional bank
failures which may involve all Ger
many in gigantic financial crash were
expected in authoritative financial cir
cles to-day following the announcement
Of the failure of the Pfaelsische Bank
in Ludwigshavcn, with the loss OF 3a0,-
100000 marks. This bank Is affiliated
directly with the Deucsche Bank, Ger
many's greatest financial institution,
which, together with the Rheinische
Creditbank, has undertaken to make
good the defunct banks losses.
The bank which has just closed had
twenty-seven branches and thirty de-
posit offices scattered throughout Ger
many, and its failure represents the
biggest Financial disaster recorded in
Germany since the bankruptcy Of the
Leipziger Bank, in July, 1901, which
involved loss Of 70,000,o00 marks.
The latest bank failure, following
the failure of two banks in Cologne
the reckless speculation in exchange
by the head Of it's Munich branch.
which eliminated in crash when for
cign exchange suddenly fell recently,
with the mark rising correspondingly.
The question on the lips of every
body to-day Is, How many others are
waiting to follow suit?"
The fact that the Deutsche Bank,
assisted by the Rheinischc Crcditbank,
has undertaken to cover depositors
/, losses in this latest financial disaster
does not mitigate the seriousness Of
the situation caused by the failure, for
it is bound to strike heavily at the Pc
sources of Germany's financial citadeis
and Is likely to engulf dozens Of insti-
tutions of greater or lesser cahber.
The failure to-day has given rise to
inaistent cries for stricter curtailment
OF speculation, subject which was dis
| cussed at to-day's meeting OF the Ma
tional Economic Council.
The "Vorwaerts," commenting on the
failure, says: 'It is not unlikely that
the chaos which has attended the mad
ness on the Stock Exchange for the
last few weeks will bring other vic
tima, which will lead to debacle, If
not of all German Industry at least
OF many of it's important branches"
What is feared particularly is that
should the mark continue to rise--as
! it did to-day-German bankers will
| find themselves in the throes Of mao
countrywide run, which would be
likely to entail the most serious con.
| sequences.

Gen. Diaz Bids Goodby
To Harding in Englisl,
ssMy Arm Is Sick,'' Says War
rior, Enthusiastic Over Wei
come America Gave Him

From, The T'1bame's Washington Buredu
WASHINGTON, Dec. t. General
Diaz, the Italian generaliasimo, called
at the White House to-day to say good
by to the Presluenr. lie will sail for
Italy Saturday. The Italian commander
was accompanied by Ambassador Ricci
and military aide. Persons gathered
at the Executive Offices waiting to see
the President greet General Diaz
with applause.
"My arms sick" Genaral Diaz vol
unteered to the newspaper men in his
recently acquired English. He re-
ferred to the handshaking he was COM
PEELED to do on his Western trip. The
warrior was almost crushed in the
crowds that welcomed him.
The President greeted General Diaz
cordially, placing his arm about the
visitors shoulders and expressing the
hope that he would return to :his coun-
try before long. The general himself was
enthusiastic about his visit, so much SO
that his English ran out and he was
compelled to resort to an interpreter
to adequately convey his appreciation.

gotiations that some form Of interna-
tlonAl concord to preserve the peace OF
the Pacific was one Of the develop
snents most TO be hoped for as result
OF the Washington conference. The
Ansto-Japanese alliance was said to be
xeAar61d as less efficient for such a
purpose than would be an agreement
IN which other powers having extern
sive interests in the Pacific could ioin.
On the other hand, the American
group found itself bound by weli-de-
nned restrictions in view of the con-
stitutsonai limitations Of the Executive
in treaty making and the long estab-
Nshed national policy Of non-involv-
rsent in foreign cntanglements. The
foreign pienipotentiaxles are under
stood to have been told frankly that
she American delegation could not con-
sider any proposal approaching an al
lance, and that If such proposal were
negotiated the American Senate never
would ratify it.
The problem then became q question
" finding such basis of agreement
as would impell Japan and Great
Britain to abrogate the alliance and
at the same time be assured of Senate
ratification. At one time system Of
compulsory arbitration treaties is said
doned. In the plan now under consid-
erat'on the American delegates are
understood to feel confident OF Senate
support, and the intimations coming
unofficialIy from both British and
Japanese sources indicate that the pro-
posal also is receiving favorable con-
ssderation at London and Toxic. The
position of France. brought in because
of her large interests in the Far East.
is less clearly defined.
s Months "Cooling-OT'' Period
In the long string of cooling off"
treaties Negotiated by W. j. Bryan
when he was Secretary of State the
period of suspension Of hostilities for
discussion and possible arbitration is
flxea at six months. The same pro-
vision has been suggested in some
quarters for the new four-power agree
ment. while from other sources have
come proposals for longer or shorter
period. In the main the tendency has
heen to follow closely the principles
os the Bryan treaties, but whether the
six months stipulation will be adopted
unchanged remains to be determined.

here pending the receipt Of orders from Washington for it's destruction. the case in which the liquor was held as evidence having gone to the sn- preme court for a final decision. The order for the destruction of the whis- ky came a few days after the theft, officials said.
 Immediately after the warehouse here was robbed last February, the chase for the liquor and those who had taken it was begun About half of the stolen property was traced to Tucson, it was said yesterday, where it was hidden, although government officials were certain that in the course of time some of it would ap- pear The investigation was being carried on also in Phoenix, and on Wednesday a government official saw Davis and Driscol in converse ton here. The reputation of Davis was known, 1t is said. and close watch was kept upon him.
 Soon after Carter negotiated with Davis for the purchase of some liquor, it was said, and this negotia- tion led to the arrest of both. Mrs. Davis was also arrested and placed in jail. While in jail she talked through the window to a man whom she thought was an acquaintance, and she told him that Driscoll was holding some stuff at a house on West Washington street. The presumed acquaintance was an official of the department of justice. who went i'm mediately to the address given by Mrs Davis, 224S West Washington street. and found Driscoil dragging a trunk across the alley into a neigh boring yard. In the trunk was the "Saffel' whisky, some corn whisky, and quantity Of tequila. Other ar rests had been made in the meantime. but when all the strings in the case had been brought together, only Davis. Driscoll and Carter were held.
 Interest in the case was heightened
Arizona republican., 1921-04-22

by the fact that Driscoll was dis charged from custody in the federal court here only Wednesday. He was being held on charge of transport ing liquor in violation of the statutes but before the case came to trial the chief witness for the government, prohibition enforcement officer, died, and another witness removed to Pennsylvania The district attorney. therefore. moved for the dismissal of the case. Driscoll was rearrested within few hours.

 The show was divided in the or thodox manner, into two parts and a comedy sketch The musical me Iange" which opened the performance was under the direction of Mrs. Grace C.
