Permanently Binding Treaty Is
 Needed f Conference Results
 Ln Good, Think Senate Leaders

der the impression that time ap- brooches when friendship ceases,' distinguished visitors are radiatlng the sunshine of international com ity.
 The capital is 2 braided as when 1t was preparing for war Mars, In brilliant uniform and cIashlng sword, reigns supreme. Society is ram pant in it's hour of triumph. Brilliant reception after brilliant reception follows that of the Japanese embassy tonight. There is music everywhere. and wine, wine. vine! No Puritan, in mournful garb and garlic face, this America today. Washington is cer- tainly in Rome, and proceeds to do as the Romans. And the reform ,r- ganizations are stifled in their orl- sons by the fumes of as fine a cellar a s Caesar owned f+."
 Everyone seems to be imbued with the Idea that the war has just come to conclusion and that now is the time to celebrate a victory. General Pershug is more joyful than is his wont. and he smiles always. Gen. erai Jacques Is anything but the counterpart Of his melancholy ances- tor. General Diaz is as an irrespon- isble boy. Admiral Beatty apparent ly does not seriously take hls title of hero of the Jutland."
 Impression of Foch
 It is different with Marshal Foch. He displays a warm appreciation of the American welcome When the flags fly, when troopers dash by in review, he stands an inch higher on his tip-to When the populace cries aloud his name. he smiles and waves his hand. But, at all other times he is serious with kind of shbdued sweetness. There Is the genius of a Caesar, a Napoleon, "Stonewall" Jackson tempered by the reverence and humility only of the latter. At the grave of Washington, where he bowed his head and his lips murmured; or In Kansas City, on the anniversary of the heoric death of his son, when he kisse dlittle girls and hls eyes filled with tears, there was the real Foch when off the field of battle.
 Next Friday, the unknown Ameri- can dead will be inferred at Arling- ton. The following day the confer ence sits. Then official Washing ton will match wits against official Europe.
 And over this volcano, Washington will madly dance.

 Washington, November 5.-(Spe- cial)-A bill was introduced by Rep resentative McDuffie in the House this afternoon comforting on Alabama title to 1S1 acres of land to be util- ized in connection with the Mt. Yer non Insane asylum for colored peo- pie.
 This property was taken over by the United States in 1880 for the purpose of constructing an arsenal for national defense. In 1895 all of it. with the exception of the 1S1 acres. was given to the state of Alabama to serve as a site for the construc- tion of hospital. It was an over sight that the 1S1 acres were omitted A similar bill was introduced in the Senate by Senator Underwood.
 On this reservation. incidentally, the United States at one time confined Indians of more or less fame. One of them was ti,e remarkable Geron- imO.

MONEYS LOW EBB IN GERMANY HURTS
 AMERICAN TRADE
Cut Throat Competition Ex- ists Among Certain Inter eStS Attempting to Get
 Export Business
By Asancinted Prnas

Berlin, November 5.-Some Ameri- cans In business in Germany say that the continued depreciation of Ger man and Austrian money threatens to force American branch manufac- turing plants and distributing houses In the two countries to close or op- crate at a heavy loss in the hope that conditions shortly will improve.
 A number of smaller German busi- nesses. principally dependent on im- portations of raw materials, also are facing a crisis and to avoid bank ruptcy which they see five or six months distant when the exhaustion of reserve funds and stocks has been completed, are seeking to consolidate with larger, more firmly established institutions.
 The American manufacturing con cerns. dependent on German raw ma terials, are faced with the peculiar situation of having huge outstanding orders In adjacent countries which they are unable to fill because the Germans insist on delivering raw ma terial at current prices, more than double In marks the prices at which the material was contracted for, and which would make impossible the fill ing of outstanding orders at profit.
 Insistence by the foreign concerns on delivery ct contracted prices has been without avail, protestations either being ignored or the foreigners being frankly told that such proce- dure would almost immediately bank rupt the German firms, in view of the recent depreciation of the mark.
 American distributing houses also are embarrassed by the fact they have large contracts to fill at prices based on previous values of the fall ing mark.
 Cut-ThrOat Battle
 ITO make the situation worse, cer- tain German interests have started cut throat competition to obtain and hold the export trade in manufac- tured articles, which has enormously increased within the last few months" the representative of an American branch manufacturing plant said. This competition fails to take into consideration the funda mental proposition that funds must be set aside for depreciation but is based almost solely on the desire for immediate profits. The unavoidable consequence will be that within six months or so these firms will face the necessity of repairs or improve ments, without money to pay, unless the capital stock is drawn upon. Such condition cannot long continue, un- less there is a substantial improve ment in German money"
 Industrialists hardest hit by the conditions have again resorted to the argument that the nation will be bankrupted if the entente insists on collection of future indemnities in sums agreed upon and in this con- meeting point to the damage done eco- homie Germany by the payment of the last 1000, 100000 marks gold. which cost approximately 53,000, ,000 paper marks and was credited with forcing the value of the mark down score of points.
 In the meantime discussions be- tween the bankers and the govern ment's economic experts have been continuing, behind locked doors.

 From all of this, 1t will be seen that the plans of some of the envoys to turn the conference as soon as possible from the consideration of Pacific affairs to the turmoil of Europe have been understood in Washington. have been considered in advance and will not be opposed.
 Directed by President Harding. the American policy throughout will be one of understanding conciliation for the special interests of all the powers. but above all this will be a purpose to lead the old world and the orient to new standards of inter- national agreement.
 In the end. therefore. as at the beginnnig, the. conference will turn upon what America has to offer in tine give-and- policies that all ways prevail In international polit- ical gatherings.
