OF course the proper care Of the

Already the country knows that the

The sole fear now is apparently that

which have become historic In Amer

that men can do to spur the govern

doctrines that were more than semi

break up another meeting in New

purpose of disciplining a recreant

"The central Government has decided

The elementary teaching of small

undoubtedly had a tendency to make u

theories was no less success. Iiliteracy
has greatly decreased because of the
increase in the number of schools under

about 90.

Is member OF the Loan Board told
The New York HERALD correspondent
here to-day. He declared that 2,000,-
100000 gold marks should be sufficient
to meet Germany's1 external obliga-
tions for one year. He regarded such
a loan as is proposed as necessary to
stabilize the German mark.
1--WE regard the outside loan method
as eXtravagant and look on such aid
for the German Government for one
year as the outside limit of our sacri-
fees" he said when asked why the
Joan would not be for larger amount
than was proposed by the Loan Board.
"The Governments purchases recently
of foreign securities and dollars to
meet the August reparation payment
of 100000 900 marks have resulted
so disastrously for the German mark
and foreign credits that repetition
would shatter German industry.
I'VE prefer to mortgage our business
and property than see our industry shat
tered, and also by this means we Will
convince the Allies OF our determination
20 meet our obligations.
I'VE hope they will permit n1odifica-
ton of the reparation agreement In the
future that will avoid mutual economic
suicide"
Hans Kraemer, one OF the leaders IN
German business, declared to-day that
''the guaranty we offer is more than
adequate. because German industry is
fundamentally sound and prospering.
"The SHINES. the Krupp and the large
metal interests and the Enthusiastically

Bank and the Central Board - which
have approved the scheme, furnish
ample indication of the backing behind

Contrary to the Socialist assertion
that German capitalists are seeking in

Mark Innation Continues.
Hopes entertained to relieve financial
negotiations at Berlin and the Berlin
Stock Exchange from the effect of fluc-
trations Of the mark have been disnp-
pointed. Business has become sensative q
to every variation In the exchange, and
the quotation of the dollar Is the all
determining factor.
1t is now generally known that Chan
cellor Wirth's optimistic budget esti-
mate Of 100 600 900 paper marks is
only half Of what will actually be-
needed. according not only to the Ma
tinalist opposit,on which Dr. Karl He,f-
ferich represents but also Commerc 2
Minister Fischbach, and Chancellor
Wirth's own supporters admit that the
Governments costs have been under cs-
timated..
This confirms the Governments in
ability to meet expenses, and che direct
consequence has been a further inf.
tior of the mark which has contributed

dnstrial securities known to have a.

PERMANENT COURT OF INTERNATIONAL
 JUSTICE PLANNED

GENEVA, July 25.--rhe most important single problem that will be considered at the Second Assem- bly, of the League of Nations called for September } is the establish ment of the Permanent Court of In ternational Justice.
 The statutes of the court which were adopted by the First Assembly have now been signed by 33 states and are in process of ratification by members of the League.
 While this is regarded as the most important subject, the pro visional program of the meeting which has just been distributed to all governments which are members of the League, consists of 25 items. Among them are amendments to the Covenant, the reduction of arma- ments, the request of Bolivia for mediation in her dispute with Chilli, aad the appointment of four nom permanent members of the Council.
 Reports will be received from technical organizations of the League such as those dealing with the suppression of the opium traffic, the traffic in women and children, communications and transit, inter- national health, registration of treaties, the economic blockade and the allocation of expenditures of the League.

camping are among the amusement features of the institution, and for the latter it is planned to erect a permanent cabin in the nearby mountains in a short time. There is plenty of work on the farm, and much of it is performed by the girls themselves. One is an expert driver of a four-horse team and others drive big motor trucks. Modern machinery has reduced the drudgery in the domestic work to minimum.

 But duel on the oceans bed d fight to the death between divers at the bottom of the sea-that. up to d few weeks ago, was a scene which no one in the world had witnessed. It existed only in the wonderful i'm. agination of Maurice Tourneur, the producer.
 Now theatergocrS may view this thrilling scene, for MT. Tourneur has put it into film form in his latest Paramount Aircraft Special picture "The White Heather" which comes to the Liberty Theater Monday anu Tuesday nights. It was taken at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean by cam eramen inside the newly-invented Williamson submarine apparatus.
 This is just one of the bits of ac- tion in this production, which estab. fishes beyond question the interna tional reputation of MT Tourneur as a producer of massive pictures. The dramatic story is based on the play of Cecil Raleigh and Henry Ham ilton. which ran with enormous sue cess at the Drury Lane Theater in London.

MAY SEARCH FOR AN
 ANESTHESIA THAT
 IS FAST AND SAFE

COLUMBUS, O., July 25.-The United States Government through the office of the Surgeon General of the War Department, has presented to the National Anaesthesia Re- search Society, whose headquarters are in this city, an opportunity for what members consider is probably the greatest service that has come 10 it since its organization.
 The War Department, because Of the comment made about the use ot mixture of ether, ethyl chloride and cholsrform in field operations In the A. k. F., and because this department is making researches Tn Ianaesthesia pertaining to such oper- ations, has asked the National Re search Society to take up the sub feet, and submit the data to the Surgeon General
 The War Department believes a general anacsthetic can be developed which will produce complete anaes- thesia within few seconds and still have all the advantages of ether On the basis of the recent field ex- pcrience. and the severe comment aroused by the use of the above mentioned mixture, the Government is asking the Research Society the | following five questions;
 Is there a need for an anaes- thctic of quicker action and more lasting qualities than the mixture employed in the A. E. F. opera tions? To what extent was Nitrous l Oxide Orygen Anaesthesia or any modification thereof used in the A. E. F. in France? Is the Nitrous 1 Oxide Oxygen method reasonably safe, practicable, rapid and econ omical? Is there a combination that would better meet the need of such an anaesthetic, if the need
 exists? Should the suggestion be 1 eXperimented with further, and if so, within what agency?"
