PEACE FARLEY WITH /
. TEUTONS HITS S|NAG

BERLIN, Aug. 18.-Germany Isl
fighting for notifications in the
terms of the proposed treaty with
the United States.
Although the strictest secrecy is
observed by the American negotiate
ors, it was learned that the Ger
mans contend the terms are too
stiff, that they cater more to the
entente and are less conciliatory
than had been expected.
Despite this no actual hitch has
developed and it is predicted the
treaty will be acceptable within
month, at the latest.
Those in close touch with pro-
ceedings said negotiations have
proceeded more unfaVorably" than
anticipated, but there is no doubt
America and Germany can come to
terms.
Germany probably will finally ac-
cept the treaty without important
changes.
Chancellor Wirth's recent discuss
sions with party leaders conferred
on the treaty, which is soon to be
put before the foreign committee Of
the reichstag.
Reparation for American lives lost
in the great war is one of the de-
mands of the United States in draft
ing the treaty.
That demand and others stirred re-
sentiment of German leaders but
they were prepared eventually to ac-
cede to all of them and sign the
treaty as early as possible. 1t was
stated authoritatively that the Unit
ed States has refused to temper any
of the terms in the rough draft in
course of preparation.
Germany takes the position, ac-
cording to authoritative statements
that she cannot assume any more OBJ
ligitations than are contained in the
Versailles treaty.
Neither group of negotiators would
state whether the United States is
asking reparation for lives lost in
the sinking of the Lusitania.
The Germans, however, let it be
known that if such payments are de-
manded, the United States must ask
it Of the allied nations, who will be
expected to pay it from the German
indemnity to them.
Americas demands are known to-
officials here in general way, all
though they have not been reduced
to parchment as yet. 1t is known
also what form the agreement will
take, but the German leaders have
been cautious in letting the public
know what the United States is asks
ing.
In Germany the American repre-
sentatives are looked upon as res
pleas of Colonel House of the last
administration. They have worked
silently, but tenaciously. The Ger-
mans approached the treaty with the
hope that they would be able to
mold it to their way of thinking, but
have found that the Americans are
infleXible.
Disappointment has resulted in
Berlin, but Germans admitted that
the understanding will be reached
shortly and according to the Ameri-
can terms.
The one section on which the Ger.
| mans privately have expressed a de-
termination to make real fight Is
that of indemnities

DETECTIVES Catch
MOONSH|NE PARTY

Another visit by City Detectives
Holley and Meeks, to the port OF
missing automobiles" has resulted in
the recovery of another alleged stolen
car, the arrest of negro, Julius
Bray, of 80 Leonard street, and the
uncovering of some clever work by
the detectives, extending over a Pc
Rod of several months.
On the night of November 20.
1920, car belonging to S. S. Park,
12S Bryan street, was stolen from
the corner of Houston and Pryor
streets and was driven. 1t Is said,
together with another car taken with
cut the consent of the owner, up to
Hall county by five Atlanta negroes
and was there swapped for so GAL
Ions of mountain moonshine." One
of the negroes was a chauffeur for
a prominent local citizen and took
his employers car in order to drive
three Of the negroes up to Hall coun-
ty, accompanied by two of the other
negroes in the stolen car.
After the transaction for the
whisky had been settled satiSfactor-
lily three of the negroes returned to
Atlanta by rail, the detectives say,
including the chauffeur, started out
enough the country with the Dor
rowed' car and the so gallons Of
liquor. On their way to Atlanta, the
two negroes were arrested at Windcr
and the automobile and whisky con-
fiscated by the authorities. The
negro chauffeur, Giles Butler. was
sentenced to months on the chain
gang for operating car without the
owners consent and the other negro,
Will Day, admitted the ownership of
the whisky and was given Is months
on the changing. Both of these
negroes will be brought back to At
lanta at the expiration Of their terms,
to stand trial for their participation
In the theft of the other automobile.
Meanwhile, one of the other ne
groes was arrested in Atlanta on q
charge of burglary and through him
the detectives have located the re-
naming two negroes who played a
part in the alleged theft of the car.
One of them, Julius Bray, is now un-
der arrest at the police station charg-
ed with the larceny of an automobile |
and the detectives say they will soon
have the only remaining negro of the |
party.
They also believe they will be
allie to connect these negroes with |
the thefts of several other automo- |
biles and are jubilant over their |
'.catch." 1t is their intention to |
have the authorities of Hall county |
thoroughly investigate conditions
there with the idea of finding out |
band operating between Atlanta and |
Hall county, disposing of stolen au- |
tomobiles for whisky and later sell |
ing the liquor here.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 18.-
Liquidation and deflation of credits
in this section was emphasized to-
day when it was announced that the
federal reserve bank here now has
loans of only $67,000,000, as against
S165, 100000 last November. "The air
has been squeezed out of the bubble
and now we are ready to go ahead
again on a stable basis" j. c. Mil
Ter, governor of the bank, said to-
day. An example of business condi-
tons is furnished by the fact that
a large local music house with
branches in surrounding towns, sold
$500 pianos in the first week Of
it's annual midsummer sale.
There has been remarkable recov-
cry in the business done in automo-
bile tires in Kansas and Oklahoma.
The Standard Oil refinery at Sugar
Creek, Mo-, has reduced it's payroll
by 400 men and now has only 600
employed, as against 1000 a year
ago. Decrease in demand for oil
products is given as the cause. Oil
producers In the midcontinent field
have cut down production, which has
shown a steady decline in Oklahoma
in the last two weeks.
General reductions in the cost OIL
labor and supplies is regarded as IA
vorable for letter times in the Tri-
State lead and zinc field. Zinc and
lead ore prices have remained firm
at S21 and $50 a ton, respectively,
for the last week.

BATHE:RS BOTHERED
BY BEACH boobies

LONDON.-The councillors of Do
yer are perplexed and vexed over a
difficult bathing problem, according
to the London Daily Express cor
respondent. They are suffering a
bombardment of complaints from in
dignant bathers, who state that they
have been ordered out of the water
by the police or held up on their
dress, though discreetly covered by
mackintoshes or other orthodox garb
The bathers consider they are legal
ly entitled to battle and to walk to
the beach in the manner described.
The police contend that they are
breaking the law. 1t all arises In
this way:
The corporation some months ago
passed new bylaws providing for
such bathing facilities as all up-to-
date seaside towns enjoy and sent
them to the ministry of health Tor
formal sanction. Bathing under the
conditions prescribed by the bylaws
has since been part of DoVer'S pro-
gram of attractions.
Now the ministry of health has
announced that 1t cannot contrm the
bylaws because the corporation had
not previously adopted necessary
act Of parliament.
So bathing is sanctioned by the
latest bylaws, but forbidden by an,
cient statutes. 1t has been suggested
that the police should look the other
way when they see a bather ap-
proach. but there are SO many bath
ers that a policeman who attempted
it would be driven to prolonged
contemplation of the ground at ms
feet or an equally uncomfortaple
study of the heavens.
The councillors are finding it a
harassing puzzle this hot weather,
but the burgesses and visitors are
piqued by the situation, and croWds
gather nightly to exchange bandl-
mage with the bathers and the police.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 18.-Resump-
ton Of the buying Of steel material
in the largest quantities for many
months is the outstanding feature
of tho Industrial situation here. This
tuying is confined largely to raw ma
terials and has been followed closely
by stiffening prices. The increase
in prices of pig iron from $1S to $40
a ton, and Of Bessemer Valley to $40.
is attributed to the fact that north
ern Ohio manufacturers have dispos-
ed of their stock in warehouses and
buying needs will have to be filled
by direct production tonnage in many
instances.
Farmers, long out of the mar ket.
are buying wire, sheets and other
needed steel products. There has
ceen a slight reactionary tendency
in the rubber industry. The Goodyear
Tire company will lay off 600 EN-
ployes this week and the Goodri .
company production has been reduced
from $4,000 to 10000 tires a day.
Firestole- continues to produce 49,
600 tires daily and the Goodyear COM
pany is averaging $4,000.
There have been sharp declines in
the grain and live stock markets.
Hogs dropped heavily in price, pork
ers, mediums and pigs selling around
$1,000 a hundred pounds, while the
trend of wheat, corn and new oats
was downward.

port business in the Pacific north
west is showing more than usual &C
tivity with new lines of steamships
bidding for traffic both to the Orient
and through the Panama canal. The
questions. when do we eat?" or
"what do we eat?" offer no worri-,
ment to the people of this section.
The wheat and apple yields, the sal
mon pack and increased demand for
lumber in Asia, furnish satisfactory
answers to both queries.
The official price list of the salmon
pack of the Pacific northwest and
Alaska shows that packers are as
sured of a profit even against ad-
lighter colored grades Of the canned
fish have advanced $3.50 a case in
the open market in the last twe
months. An extraordinary demand
for salmon. said to be the greatest
in the history of the industry, is re-
spohsible for this rapid jump in the
prices.
Buyers are uhronging the millinery
shops, fur establishments and coat
and suit houses and are spending
money without waiting for the an
nouncements of all fashions in Wom-
ems wear. Merchants frankly admit
that cuts in prices, some Of them
from 40 to SO per cent below the peak
of 1920, brought these results.
