plain in architectural lines. The
music is made from the keys playing
direct upon the harp which is con-
cealed. The tones are still very
sweet. Harpsicord, clabicords and
all sorts of pianos have been seen
but this is the first harp piano which
has been heard of in this part of the
country.
The little instrument was secured
from a school which had been dis

piano harp bears the inscription
which tells us that George Crawford
is the inventor and that he lived in
London. No date is given anywhere
on the piano, which might lead to
it's age.

France Would Bar Door
Of League to Germany

PARIS, July 10 (By The Associated
Press).-France is not yet ready to ap-
prove of Gernnany's admission to mem
bersnip in the League of Nations. IL
was intimated to-day in Official circles,
ut would be best in many wavs for
germany to belong to the league" said
nigh official, "but the moment does
not appear to have come, since she has
not yet showed Willingness to execute
her obligations, which under the Treaty
OF versailles Is q condition necessary
to her admission.
The argument advanced that it
would be easier to control Gsrmany's
relations with Russia if she were a
member of the League lacks logic so
long as Russia herself is outside the
League.
The requisite to make Germany
eligible is that she show good will in
the execution of the Treaty Of Yer
ssailles. 1t would be illogical for the
League, which is one Of the creations
OF that treaty, to violate that provision
by admitting her while she continues
to resist"
The French viewpoint is that the
League would be making trouble for
herself in admitting Germany to mem
bership when the situation is so uncer-
tain and the meeting of the Assembly
less than two months distant, and it is
thought scarcely possible that Germany
can IN that short time clear ND her af-
fairs so as to make her a valuable
member OF the League, even were she

BERLIN, July 10 (By The Associated

lieves he has discovered a silver lining
to the cloud which hss been hanging
over the Chancellery for the last ten
days. One of the chief reasons for this
official optimism is based on the tenor
OF seml-official and press comments in
London and the somewhat noncommital
but significant reflections on the pres
ent situation in Germany which are
credited to official quarters in Wash
lngton and relayed here by way of
mark reported from New York to-

oelleVes its newborn hopes for relief
from the reparations burden are not
wholly chimerical. Internally, also,
the government has gained prestige in
that lnter-party negotiations have def
eliminated the peoples party from in
clusloa in the present government
bloc, which will continue to consist Of
Majority Socialists, Clercals and
Democrats.
The Chancellor has been vouchsafed
active support by the Independent So
clalists, who voted to remain outside
the coalition, believing their appear
ance on the government bench in the
Reichstag eventually would precipi-
tate new elections, which, they assert,
must be avoided in the present period
of unrest.
Chancellor Joins Support
This adjustment of the parliamentary
situation is acceptable to Dr. Wirth,
who views it as the only available
solution under existing conditions. The
Peoples' party now is isolated in the
Reichstag, although it is pledged bv
virtue of its resolution Sunday to sup
port the Republican government in it's
fight for the democracy. But even
without it's vote, the Chancellor is as
sured an ample working majority in
Parliament.
All Rests With Paris
Despite the lessening political ten
sion at home, the government explains
it is still conscious that the crux of
Its troubles is in Paris and that the
decision which the Reparations Com
mission is expected to reach this week
wlll definitely determine the further
course of events.

LONDON, July 10.-Although a spe-
cial meeting of the Cabinet has been
called for tomorrow to discuss the
collapse of the German marks value it
IS not anticipated that any formal ac-
tlon will be Aken before the visit of
premier Poincare of France, arranged
at his last meeting with Lloyd George.
1t is probable that the Italian Foreign
Affairs Minister, Carlo Schanzer, will
also return to London at about the
same time so that, although there will
be no actual session of the Supreme
Council, the heads Of that body will
convene.
In business and financial circles
there IS strong feeling that, regard
less of whether any part of the COL
lapse Of the mark was artifciallv en-
gendered, there should be q scaling
down of the reparation total. Individual
members of the government are known
to be of this opinion, but The Tribune
correspondent learns that there will be
no measures taken to this end without
signs that they will not be uncon-
genial to France
1t is officially stated that ne Brit
ish government has made no communi-
cation of any kind to the United States
regarding means to bolster up the Ger
man finances, and that any representa-
tions in that direction must be re-
garded as purely individual. Little
credence here is placed in talk of a
monarchist revolt in Germany as it is
thought that all the Socialist parties
would unite to face this menace and a
general strike weapon would immedi-
ately come into play.

For German Republic

BERLIN, July 10 (By The Associated

German Peoples Party (the party with
which Hugo SHINES, the capitalist, is
so prominently identifed), passed at
q meeting Sunday resolution embody
ing the clearest pronouncement yet
made in favor of the republic by the
Peoples Party. The resolution read:
"We are convinced that the recon
struction Of Germany is only possible
On the basis of republican constitu-
ton. We, therefore. agree with legis-
lation for the protection of the consti-
tuition, if such legislation is not one
sided. We demand from the govern
ment the maintenance of authority"
The committee also adopted resolu-
tion saying that while the party sup
ported the republican colors it never
theless opposed just as firmly any defa-
nation of the old imperial standard,
which it regarded as the Symbol of
German unity, acquired by hard, his
