over the equipment to the Americans.

The German foreign office is ex-
pected to give it's official recognition
in a day or two. In the meantime

opened: Berlin, Munich. Ham,
burg, Frankfort-on-th -the-Main, Dres-
den. LEIPZIG, Stuttgart, Bremen. Co
blenz, Cologne. Stettin. Breslau and

Consul General Coffin does not look
for much change in commercial rela-

which, he declares. have really been
normal" until negotiations are en-
tered into for a commercial agree
ment.
The transition of the former Ameri-

SENATORS CLASH OVER
REMARKS ABOUT FORD
Williams and Watson in Tilt Fol
lowing Attack by Latter on
Automobile Manufacturer.

The Congressional Record appeared
today minus the official reporters ring
side account of the clash between Sen
ators Williams of Mississippi and Wat
son of Georgia, democrats, which broke
into the discussion late yesterday of the
ord-Newberry senatorial contest.
The tilt occurred during the speech OF
Senator Heflin, democrat, OF Alabama,
however, and as senators have the priv
ilege of revising their remarks, the
Williams-Watson debate may yet go
into the permanent record Of proceed
ings.
The clash resulted from an attack on
Mr.. Ford by Mr.. Watson, who declared.
in the course of his speech, that left
over Wilsonites" in the Senate were
trying to unseat Newberry because OF
his opposition to the league Of nations.
The Georgia senator also declared that
Mr.. Ford had been paid by the govern
ment for war materials never delivered
and that he had assessed his employees
for campaign purposes.
Mr.. Williams denied the latter charge.
and, while declaring that while he did
not approve of the Detroit manufac-
turer's war attitude, he regarded him
as "far superior in altruism. world
sense and word vision" to either the
Georgia senator or himself. He said
that Mr.. Watson had run against his
country during the war. and for time
the Senate chamber was a scene of dis
order.

Lloyd George Plans Talk With
ENJOYS Before His Meet

By the Associate Press,

LONDON, November 22.-Repre-
sentatives of the Sim Fein have been
invited to meet Prime Minister Lloyd
George in Downing street today to
discuss the Ulster difficulty with a
view to the interview Sir James Craig
is to have with Mr.. Lloyd George to-
morrow to talk over the question OF
an Irish settlement. Today's meeting
will not be recorded as a conference
and it seems probable that no COM
munique regarding 1t will be issued.
The Sim Fein already knows un-
officially the nature of the Ulster
premiers reply to the government
rejecting the governments settlement
plan, but since that reply was made
the premier has been considering va
rious proposals for a possible recon
citation Of the respective views of the
northern and southern Irish repre-
sentatives. Neither Ulster nor the
Sim Fein, however, is satisfied with
any of these proposals, 1t is indi-
Gated.
Latest Peace Plans.
The basis of most of them is under
stood to be an attempt to get over
listers resistance to an all-1relaAd
parliament by offering her many
resentation in that body.
So far these concessions are said
not to have appealed to the Ulster
premier, while the Sim Fein, it is
asserted, remains determined not to
concede Ulster any privileged posi-
ton.
One plan which has been debated
with apparent approval in high gov
ernment circles is to give the north
and the south equal representation in
an al-Ireland parliament, but only
for limited term of years. and mean
while requiring a 65 per cent vote to
carry any fiscal proposal. The Sim
Fe1n publicity department.. however,
says southern Ireland will not con-
sent to give Ulster anything more
than it is entitled to by the size of
it's population.

that therefore the government is re-

Temples Burned and Shoot

in Bombay Yesterday.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 22-Owing to
the difference in time and tele-
graphic delays. the dates of happen
ings in connection with the Prince Of
Wales tour of India are somewhat
muddled in the advices reaching here.
Official messages and some press
dispatches represent everything as
quiet in Bombay on Monday. A Reu-
ter's item from Bombay. however.
says that rioting was renewed there
on Monday, two Parsee temples being
burned and others attacked. Some
shooting Is said to have occurred. but
no casualties were reported. Quiet
was restored by night, the dispatch
adds. and an appeal by Mahatma
Gandhi, leader of the "nonco-opera-
tionists," apparently having pacify-
ing effect.
1t seems from these dispatches that
the Prince of Wales visited Poona, in
Bombay province, on Sunday, return
ing on Monday to Bombay. where he
attended a number of public functions
as guest of honor and was received
with enthusiasm.
The prince is scheduled to leave
Bombay today for Baroda, which last
received a visit from a Prince of
