man Territory Fore asst as
Result Of Disaere ement.

Paris What is viewed in official
circles as a grave crisis in the rela-
tions between France and Germany
was reached just as the Genoa con-
ference was assembling, with the pos
sibility Of the military occupation Of
further German territory presenting
itself. This came as q result of a mega
tive sreply from the German govern
ment to the note Of the PREPARATIONS
commission in which certain fiscal re-
forms were demanded of Germany.
The tragedy at Gleiwitz, Upper ST
lesia, involving the killing Of more
than score of French soldiers in the
explosion of mine, is considered as
likely to >complicate the situation, pro-
as it will, energetic diplomatic
action on the part of France at Berlin.
High French officials express their
conviction that the present German
government will be unable to curb the
reactionary agitation and that the
time is near when the Allies will be
obliged either to renounce the execu-
ton of the treaty at Versailles or bring
strong pressure to bear on Germany.
The German government says in it's
note that it cannot consent to the pro-
posed control of it's revenues as ex-
penditures, and that it is unable to i'm
pose additional taxes to the amount of
10000, 100000 marks as asked by the
commission.

PERIOD OF UNIVERSAL JOY

Wars have been waged over what

as to how the festival should be OBJ
served. Easter has been the first day
Of the year, and, for~hundreds Of years
at a time, there have been not one but
often several casters, each defended
by its advocates. In the controversy.
both sun and moon have been called
In to give testimony and since those
two witnesses failed fully to agree
there has grown up difference, SO
that our Christian Easter might be
called the sun Easter, whereas the
nearby Passover of the Jews might
be termed the moon easter or moon
passover. 1t was indeed. according to
much weighty testimony, a carrying
on into Christendom Of the passover
idea, by which the paschal lamb be-
came the Christ, or rather Christ the
pasohal lamb, in the beautiful church
symbolism. And further back this
rare time of springs rebirth, Of ma

NOT CONSIDER Protest
Reconstruction and Disarmament
Must Go Together.

Genoa-At the meeting of the prin-
cipal conference committee which is
to consider Russian affairs, foreign
Minister Chitcherin Of Russia protest
ed against the presence of the Ru-
manian and Japanese delegates be-
cause Rumania was occupying Bes-
sarabia and Japan was occupying por-
tons of Siberia
Premier Facta of Italy who was pre-
siding over the committee declined to
consider the Russian protest giving as
his reason that all the countries in
vited to the conference had a right
to be represented on it's committees.
French Oppose Russians.
Admission of Russian and German
representatives to the principal COM
mittee of the economic conference was
strongly opposed by both French and
Belgian representatives. Premier
Lloyd George, together with Premier
Facta and Foreign Minister Schanzer
Of Italy, interviewed, however, and
their conciliatory attitude finally re-
suited in the admittance of both the
Russians and Germans.
George Chitcherin, head of the Rus
sian delegation, issued a statement
declaring it useless to discuss the
reconstruction of Europe without also
discussing disarmament.
AmelioratiOn of present conditions
is impossible while the "imperialistic
countries continue vast expenditures
for the maintenance of large armies,

In History. =

Washington-The Allied debt re-

gress and entrusted with converting
into long time securities the debts Of
the Allied nations to the United States
has been completed through confirma-
ton by the Senate of the nominations
Of Senator Smoot of Utah and Repre-
sentative Burton of Ohio, Republicans,
as members of the commission.
Confirmation followed more than
five hours of discussion in executive
session. The principal argument
against confirmation was said to have
been made by Senator Walsh, Demo
crat, Montana, who originally raised
the ineligiblity point, while the prin-
cipal speech in support was made by
Senator Cummins, Iowa, chairman Of
the judiciary subcommittee, which
considered the nominations.
Undertake Great Task.
Charles E. Hughes, secretary of
state, Andrew Mellon, secretary of the
treasury, and Herbert Hoover, secre-
tary of commerce, had previously been
confirmed as members of the commits
sion.
Probably the greatest financial i'm.
dertaking ever begun by any govern
ment will be the task of the refunGing
commission in conducting negotiations
with 20 different nations for the re-
funding or conversion into long time
securities of the more than $11, 1885,

Berlin-Foreign wheat flour and rye

It is semi-officially explaine,.. that this
is due to the fact that prices of foreign
flour recently have been lower than
for the German product. Official stat
istics show that the price of German
agricultural products has risen aston
ishingly during the last month. As

beginning Of February brought 1,l8a
marks per 100 Kilograms, had risen to
1000 marks at the end of March.
