Europe is Infected by Soft
Money Virus, Crosby Says;
Warns Yanlss Against Loans

Berlin, Germany, April 17-(By
The Associated Press. )-Four
weeks survey of the German situa-
ton has convinced Oscar Terry
Crosby, former assistant secretary
of the United States treasury, that
continental Europe lis infected
with the soft money virus" Mr..
Crosby made this comment after
his experience with government Of
ficials and banking and industrial
leaders.
Until it has run its course,
where it is epidemic" he added,
Americans should be extremely
wary with respect to investment
and loans, even in a great indus
trial country like Germany"
Mr.. Crosby startled German opti-
mists by the candid manner in
which he set forth the conditions
which any conservative leader
would obviously impose before di-
verting his capital to the purpose
of government or large private
loans in Germany.
Economies "Shell Shocked

of the theoretical value of the
paper mark, based on the average
index figures and exchange rates
during the era of imitation, have
also impressed German circles as
a novel method of approaching a
solution of the German financial
problem. Sound banks and indus
trial concerns. Mr.. Crosby censid-
ers fairly responsible for short
term loans, as they are naturally
operating cautiously and will
cease to borrow on the approach of
impending trouble in an effort TO
conserve their established reputa-
tions.

theories seem to have been she'll

and reparations," he continued.
More dangerous than mere unpre-
paredness and apathy concerning
the fundamental need of sound cur
rency is an attitude which regards
the debt of the German government
as having been actually reduced to
the days gold value of the paper
mark. l did not find in Germany

sible government officials with

Respectable" Speculation.
"The highest flight of German
fancy contents itself with propos-
ing, in connection with the repara-
tions moratorium, syndicate
which shall stabilize the mark by
buying and selling in the market.
Such stabilization, of course, is
simply a respectable and officially
condoned speculation. No German
expert thus far has proposed a
positive value to be arrived at IN
the future, even though its realiza-
ton would require years"
Mr. Crosby believes that he had
discovered in German circles a cef-
tain opposition to Reorganization to
adopt what the government has
actually received for its paper obli-
cations This tendency, he states,
is partly based on the theory that
the German government, by such
acknowledgement, might possibly
give a profit to foreigners who
have bought German paper marks.
1t is estimated that the German
government probably realized bill
lion dollars, gold value, by virtue
of such foreign purchases, which
receipts probably materially helped
to finance its commercial needs

SMALL CASE

POSTPONED
State Grants Request of
Defense for One
Weeks Delay.

Court House. Wakegan, Ill, April
17.-Governor Len Small's trial on
charges of conspiring to embczzle
state funds is postponed again to-
day, this time until next Monday
when the state agreed to the re-
quest of the governors attorneys.
The postponement will permit
leaders on both sides to attend the
Republican state convention at
Springfield Friday.
c. c. LeForgee, chief counsel for
the governor, stated in court that
there would be no further reason
for delay ''and the case of Len
Small will start next Monday morn
ing"
At the suggestion of the defense
both sides agreed to a stipulation
covering the introduction of docu-
mentary evidence. Accountants for
both sides will analyze this evil
dence and decide what part can be
introduced by agreement without
detailed Identification. Mr.. LeFor-
gee said the agreement will save a
months time in the trial.
~Saye People Expense"
c. Fred Mortimer, states attor-
ney of Sangamon county, told the
court he had agreed to the weeks
delay because the agreement that
the accountants should get togeth-
er and shorten the trial by classify
ing the evidence would save ex-
pense to the people of his county.
Judge Edwards dismissed the rs
jurors summoned for today in ex-
pectation that the trial would start
and announced a new panel would
be called to report next Monday
morning at 10 O'Clock.
Court House, Waukegan, ILL.,, April
April 17.-(By the Associated
Press. Start of the trial of Gov
ernor Len Small, scheduled for to-
day, was temporarily postponed
while attorneys for the state con-
sidered a request from the COVER
nor's counsel for stipu1ations COW
ering the introduction Of documen-
tary evidence and for postponement
of the cause for another week.
The governors lawyers are un-
derstood to have pointed out that
an agreement covering the docu-
mentary evidence would save a
months time in the trial of the
case.
The weeks delay was asked be-
cause the Republican state conven-
ton is to be held at Springfield

1t was nearly II O'Clock when the
conference of attorneys broke up
and the governor and his attorneys
and friends reached court.

The governor was accompanied
by Vernon Curtis of Grant Park. a
fellow defendant, who was granted
a separate trial. Mr. Curtis took a
seat in the rear Of the court room
behind the so prospective jurors
who had been summoned in expec-
tation of starting the trial today.
At 11:15 o'clock, after confer
ences, the governor was advised by
his attorneys that no decision would
be reached before this afternoon,
and he left for his hotel.

WASHOUT TAKES
500 FEET TRACK
AT BEARDSTOWN
City Is NolU Cut Off
Schuyler County
and North.

Beardstown, Ill, April 17-By
the Associated Press. )-Flood wa
ter rushing through a hole in Cole
Creek levee this morning had
washed away 500 more feet of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail.
1y from Schuyler county and the
country to. the north.
One line of the C. B. & @. is con.
tinuing to function. Trains were
pIowing today through the water
southwark, but future service is
questionable The Baltimore {.
Ohio railroad suspended service on
its lines into Beardstown four days
ago.
The greatest marvel today is that
the plant of the Illinois Central
Public Service company is still in
operation. 1t is in six feet of wa
ter.
Rain Raises River.
Breaking OF the Cole Creek levee
reduced the flood in Beardstown
two and one-half inches last night
and gave the inhabitants a CLEAN
of hope, but a steady downpour of
rain early this morning brought
the prediction that the water will
continue to rise until it reaches 25
feet. 1t has already regained the
previous high mark of 24.4 feet, at
tanned early yesterday.
Every train out Of BeardstoWn
carried capacity load of resi-
dents. Fifty more houses were
made uninhabitable since Saturday,
and only one business place in the
town can boast of an unfiooded
first floor. The little town of Fred
erick, across the river and Mere
dosia and Naples. further south,
are now completely cut off from
Beardstown.
Previous reports that all levees
had broken were corrected this
morning when word was brought
here that South Beardstown levee
is still holding. Pumps are working
continually, and enormous piles of
sand bags have kept this one levee
still intact.
Sheffield, ILL.,. April 17.-Tracks
of the Wabash railroad at Mere
dosia were reported washed out by
the flood this morning. Adjutant-
General Black attempted to learn
the extent of damage there but was
unable to make telephone connec-
tions. The Wabash is the only
railroad touching Meredosia, and
if cut off there will deprive all Cf
Brown county, across the river, of
all railroad traffic.
