VIENNA RIOTING
CAN'T BE STOPPED
Crowds Destroy Large Hotels, Throw
Chairs ArOund-POlice Arc
Helpless to Act

Vienna, Dec. 1. - (By Associated
Press) of a serious nature
broke out in Vienna today following
great demonstration before the par
lament building where red flags were
raised on masts. The crowds then be-
gan smashing windows and looting
shops dealing in articles of luxury.
Large crowds also attacked a num-
Der of fashionable hotels, most of
which being those where foreigners
reside. The New Bristol was the first
of these hotels to be assaulted, Its
great doors were soon battered down
thus permitting the crowds to pour in
to the building. They began to break
window some of which were as high
as the third floor, and to throw furni-
ture into the crowd in the street be
low.
The old Bristol hotel later suffered
the same fate, it's costly furniture and
rich tapestries being hurled out to the
cheering crowds which packed the
streets surrounding the building
The Grand hotel, the largest in the
city and then in turn the Hotel I'M
perial also were looted. The activities
in these hotels, however, appeared 10
have been confined to the lower floors
The Vienna police were apparently
helpless, many squads of them being
seen standing quietly by as onlook-
erS.

France Will Suggest
Autonomous Rhineland
Exploited By Allies As
Moratorium Alternative
Officials Claim That Full
Authority Is Given Under
M
Treaty to Administer Re-
sources.

Paris, Dec. 1.-(By Associated
Press "A receivership for Germany
as a bankrupt, with an autonomous
Rhincland to be exploited by the al
lies for reparation purposes, are like
ly to be proposed by France as an al
tentative to any monoratorium on
reparations that may be suggested by
Great Britain, it was said in official
circles here today.
The French Claim.
The allies, it is held by French Of
flcials, have full authority under the
treaty to take Germanys affairs in
hand and administer her resources In
manner similar to that pursued by
the Turkish debt commission.
Former President Poincare, who is
much talked of as the probable sue
cessor of Premier BRAND in the next
governmental change, recalls in his
weekly review Of the political stua-
ton that the treaty of Versailles gives
the allies the right in case Germany
defaults, to control her customs du-
ties, taxes, expectations and coal pro-
ductlon. He says this must be de-
manded If the reparations com mission
thinks it is obliged to give Germany
further time.
The negotiations understood to be
going on now in London between the
British government and representa-
tiVes from Germany are regarded in
French official circles as reprisal for
the alleged separate action of France
IN making an agreement with the
Turkish Nationalists government at
Angora. Much anxiety is expressed
lest France find herself faced with
complete accord between Great Brit
ain and Germany. French officials
pointed out today that the question
Of reparations was above all A French
question and that Great Britain was
interested only to the extent of %
per cent. of the reparations, whereas
France lays claim to So per cent.
, Situation Precarious
The situation of the entente is re-
garded among French government Of
ticials as exceedingly precarious, in
view of what they describe as ner-
vousness shown by Great Britain and
Italy.
Some officials expressed douot the
French government would agree to
arbitration of the reparations ques-
tion by the league of nations if such
action should be proposed.
Officials at the French foreign Of
flee were very guarded in their COM
ments today in the absence of Pre-
mier BRAND, but it was made clear
that the London negotiations relative
to moratorium for Germany were
regarded as not in harmony with the
principles of the entente.

Hope Is Still Held Out
AT Conference That 60
Per Cent Will Yet Be
Accepted
Admiral Kato Formally Re-
quests Higher Figure As
1t Is For Safety OF His
Country.

Washington, Dec. 1 (By Associated
Press--The situation resulting from
Japan's formal proposal that the 60
per cent naval ratio allotted her under
the American limitation plan be in
creased to 20 per cent was regarded
by American officials today as a deli
cate one but not without hope that
her spokesmen ultimately would ac-
cept the original plan
kato'S Formal Request
Entirely removed from the stage of
technical discussion as to the basis of
calculating the naval ratios on pres
ent fleet strength, the question today,
through the formal request of Baron
Admiral Kato, senior japanese dele
gate that the increased ratio be rec
ognized as necessary to Japan's secur-
ity, had become a matter of policy
for settlement by the plenary dele
gates of the powers and not by their
technical advisors. The proposal on
this ground it was known today, has
been presented personally by Baron
Kato to Secretary Hughes and Arthur
j. Balfour head of the British dele
said of the Japanese government.
Americans and British.
Regarding the argument of ma
tional, security, the American dele
gates and experts, backed by the
opinion of the British delegates, hold
that its logical application would
mean a reduction rather than an in
crease in the naval ratio proposed for
Japan, to which, it is known on au-
thority they are as strongly opposed
on that basis as on the showing of
existing fleet comparisons. With the
subcommittee Of experts of the big
three naval powers at formal dis
agreement on adjourning yesterday as
to the basis to be used for these COM
parsons it was considered today that
further progress could lie only in
discussion between the American
and Japanese delegates.
Dividing Attention.
Dividing attention with the naval
situation today was the first meeting
of the representative of China and
Japan with Secretary Hughes and A.
J. Bafour, as respective heads of the
American and British groups to lay
a basis for negotiations looking to
settlement Of the celebrated Shantung
controversy. The Chinese delegates
announced after accepting the
American and British offer of good
offices" in the controversy that they
were entering the discussions pre-
pared to accept nothing less than un-
conditional withdrawal of Japan's
claims in Shantung. Tn the absence
Of any definite indication Of attitude
it was assumed the japanese spokes
men would contend for the reserVa-
tions insisted on in the recent diplo-
matte exchange beteween Toxic and
Peking.

ELMER AGREES TO
DISMANTLE CAFE
Case of Main Street Man
Arrested for Sale of
Beer Is Continued

Fred Elmer, proprietor of a Main
street restaurant which up to the time
of the closing request was a cafe,
was before Judge George w Klett
this morning in police court to answer
charges of keeping liquids more than
one-half of one per cent alcohol,
with intent to sell.
Through his attorney, Lawyer P, F.
McDonough, Elmer pleaded guilty.
Policemen Thomas Feeney and p.
O'Mara had seized 10 cases of beer
at the place, 305 Main street, Novem-
Der "a. The stuff was sent to New
Haven for an analysis, which show
ed 1884 alcohol.
The attorney for the accused eX-
planned that Elmer purchased the
stuff thinking it was within the law
and offered it for sale openly. The
place is no longer a cafe. Two men,
one a chef and one a dishwasher, are
employed. The bar is still standing
but chairs have been placed against
it to serve as a, lunch counter.
Judge Klett asked the accused if he
was willing to dismantle the bar. He
said he was and agreed to do so by
next Wednesday. The case was con-
tinued, the court remarking that the
sentence will depend upon whether or
not the place has been dismantled.
August Battaglia was fined IS for
operating a motor vehicle without a
license and without registration pa
pers. Policeman John Liebler made
the arrest today.
Wine seized in raid at Mary Roc
els home on Park street last week,
was condemned upon motion of Pro-
scouting Attorney Joseph G. Woods.
Mrs. Roccis husband was present to
contest the proceedings, but when in
formed that a decision to condemn
after his objection would result in his
payment of costs, he decided to allow
the matter to go through.

London. Dec. 1 (By Associated
Press) Preservation of the truce in
Ireland, whatever may happen to the
peace negotiations, is being urged to-
day by a considerable section of the
British press. 1t is suggested that
this be achieved through adjourn
ment of the conference to a fixed date
a month or six weeks hence.
The Sim Fein publicity department
reiterated this forenoon that it ex-
pected further meetings between the
government and the Sim Fein dele
gates and it is believed arrangements
regarding the truce will be considered
at the next meeting.
The original truce terms provided
no plan for its cessation, and it is
felt, 1t is said. that even if it de-
velops that hostilities must be re-
newed provision should be made fix
ing a definite date for abandonment
of the pact instead of letting the
truce break down without notice
which has been considered in many
quarters, the probable outcome.
