Special Despatch to The NEW FORK Herald.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. e., Oct. 10.
MORE than $4,000 Americans
known to be speculating in
German currency stand to save
something from the wreck of lost
hopes through ratification of the
German peace treaty if the re-
suit of the ratification is an ap-
probation of the value of the
mark. Since Americans began
speculating in marks after the
armistice the value has gone
down consistently.
Officials of financial branches
of the Government to-day said
the value of the mark would rise
several points as a result of rati-
fication of the treaty. Many
other results, beneficial to the
great body of American citizens,
would follow ratification, officials
explained. One is the exchange
Of more commodities with Ger
many. That country now is buy
ing American goods at the rate
Of nearly $300,00O,000 a year,
according to reports to the Com
merce Department. In return
Germany is exporting to the
United States only about $780,
100000 worth of goods. The
trade balance, nearly 0,000,-
900, stands in favor Of the United
States.

Senator Lodge promptly made point
of order against the substitute. He
argued 1t was violation Of the rules to

not before the Senate. He contended
that the Versailles Treaty had been re-
jectet by the Senate and sent back TO

not be surpassed by the earnestness OF
any other nation in regard to this con-

with the necessity of establishing some
agency that would clear away misunder-
standings. International differences seem

it's famous ball this month. 1t was an

maintain the reputation of the place as

on the doors and the Austrian orchestra

Great Results Predicted.


The Washington conference was but
lightly touched upon to-day in the
Chamber of Deputies. Alfred Margaine,
Deputy from the Marne, predicted great
results from the conference il an Anglo
Japanese accord could be realized along
lines satisfactory to the United States
and the British dominions. and expressed
the belief that the British Government
would make a definite offer to Premier
BRAND In Washington which would
finally realize world peace. NJ. Margaine
refused to divulge the source or the
details OF this suggestion from the tri-
bunal but in the corridors of the Cham
ber of Deputies he intimated later that
London was considering an offer Of a
written military and financial accord in
so far as Germany was concerned II
France would maintain an alliance in
SO far as the Pacific was concerned.
M. Margarine Is not considered important
however. and few Deputies take his
suggestion seriously. which evidently

Corridor gossip shows an inclination
to take seriously a proposal for a new
Left party. but as Premier BRAND Is
showing an apparent desire to conciliate
the Left groups at the expense of a
condemnation OF the Rights imperialistic
policy, there is little doubt that he will
obtain enough votes from the two blocs
to warrant him leaving here for Wash

The only danger then will lie in how
the Chamber of Deputies takes the In.
ability of the Finance Ministry to ar
rive at an equilibrium of the budget fol
next year. but as the tenure OF office
OF Paul Doumer, the present Minister OF
Finance. is doomed anyway. Premier
BRAND could replace him by Louis Lou

or a member OF the Budget Commission

CORRUNA, Mich, July 8.-Testify-
ing at the trial of Forrest Higgins,
charged with first degree murder for
the death of his fiancee, Lucy Wittum,
Sheriff j. w. Sproul said today he ex-
amined the girls body and discovered
a depression in the head, which ap-
parently had resulted f-om a blow.
The state contends Higgins struck the
girl, rendering her unconscious and
forced poison down her throat, on
learning of her delicate condition. The
sheriff followed Mrs. Jessie Wittum,
mother of the dead girl to the stand.
Mrs. Wittum was subjected to
lengthy cross examination by defense
counsel and at the conclusion OF her
testimony was taken from the court
room in a state of collapse,
Mrs. Wittum asserted that until the
finding of her daughters body on
March 81, last, the latter's head had
been unmarked, her testimony being
intended to refute that of Mabel Mer-
chant, who said she frequently had
noticed a mark on Miss Wittum' s
forehead.
On cross examination, Mrs. Wittum
admitted her daughter had run away
to Flint last September, staying about
a week. When the family learned
Higgins had taken her, Mrs. W1ttum
said no further attention was paid to
the escapade.
