REVOLUTIONARY RELICS
FOUND IN THE RIVER
Helmets Worn by British in
TIT Brought Up.

Philadelphia Sound and as
bright as the day they were made, three
brass helmets bearing the figure of a
lion and worn by the British grena-
diers who came up the Delaware with
Admiral Lord Howe on his flagship,
the Augu "a, nearly $50 years ago,
have recently been brought up from the
bottom of the river by the dredge Cata-
ract. The find is considered by ex-
perts to be the most interesting of any
historic relic of the arly days of the
nation discovered in recent years.
The helmets were ug UP a short
distance belo- the mouth of the
Schuuylkill. at a point approximately
opposite the present site Of Fort Milf
fin. Besides the helmets there was
found enough wreckage to identify it
as coming from the British aloop of
war Melin, carrying IS guns, which
was set on fire and sunk October %,
1777, in an attack from Fort Mud, dur
ing which hot cannon balls were used
under the direction of General George
Smith, commander of the American
forces. f e hot shot caused her mag
azine to explode and blow the ship
apart.
The British, at the time, were push
ing towards Philadelphia, where it had
been reported a treason movement
was in progress. Admiral Howe after
being repulsed, joined his brother,
Lord Howe, but before leaving he de-
stroyed Fort Mud.
The helmets have been presented by
Major y. E. Lyons, United States en-
gineer in charge of the Delaware
river improvements, to the Valley
Forge Historical Society.

GERMANY EXPECTS
REPARATIONDELAy
TeutOns Willing to Ask For
Foreign Aid,
SURE or PERIOD OF GRACE
Commission Leaves Berlin Without
Making Reply or Suggesting Re-

Berlin-A communication hand
ed to the PREPARATIONS commission
by Chancellor With, telling of the
German governments willingness to
seek foreign credits to meet the jan
uary reparations payment to the al
lies, has been received by the public
as confirming the popular belief that
the government possesses no illusions
as regards its ability to secure a
period Of grace in which to meet its
obligations.
The commission left for Paris with
out answering the communication, but
in official quarters, it is said, a reply
VIII be forthcoming from there. The
belief has prevailed in official circles
here since the arrival ten days ago
of the PREPARATIONS commission that it
intended to obtain at first hand an
idea upon which TO base its attitude
for adjusting Germany's payments
subsequent to the January and Feb
ruary instalments falling due.
Deliberations of the. commission in
Berlin were wholly informal, even
when consulting government officials.
Aside from making a courtesy call on
the chancellor, the members. of the
commission, singly or collectively,
have conferred chiefly with depart
mental heads of the ministries of
finance, economics and foreign affairs.
Although heads of the foreign Of
flee are reported to have made strong
efforts to impress the commission with
internal and external effects of a fore
ed entry by Germany into the foreign
money markets, it is asserted the
commissioners declined TO suggest
other measures of relief for the coun-
try.
The Reichsbank's statement for the
week of November Is, published on
the eve of the departure of the COM
mission for Paris, announced the adj
dition of 2,500,000,000 marks in new
paper to the national currency, bring
ing the total to more than 102 ,000,-
100000 marks, of which 100000. 600
is in loan banknotes. The present
heavy output of fresh paper has been
all the more conspicuous, as it occur
red in the midmonth period. Specu-
lation has been stimulated as to the
! total at the close of the year
Chancellor Wirth's negotiations
with the German Industrialists'
League have not yet been decisively
concluded. Despite rumors the indus
trialists are sounding retreat" on the

at their command without insisting on
standardization Of thte railways.
