Chaotic Condition of Russian
and German Finance Deepens.
But Americans In England
Think Rest of Europe Safer.
RUSSIAN CONFERENCE FAILS
Hague Meeting With Soviet
Men Today, Was the Last One.
Germany Asks Allies To Waive
Payment Due on Saturday.
fB, the Assoc1ated Prss..l

Paris, July 12.-Germany today
handed the reparations commission
note requesting a moratorium for all
the remaining payments for 1922, in
cluding that due July Is. Germany
further requests that the moratorium
be extended for the cash payments
provided for 1923 and 1924 under the
schedule of May 5, 1921.
Saturday Payment Ready?
The note stated that the $4,000, 1000
gold marks due on Saturday were
available If the commission insisted
upon this payment, but recommended
that it also be waived.
The German request did not specify
any extension of the moratorium thru
out the next two years as had been
forecast in some quarters. but urged
the commission to consider Germany's
condition and make public soon q
complete plan for her relief.
The commission will hold a special
meeting, probably this afternoon, TO
discuss the German note.
The commission has instructed the
allied committee on guarantees to
hasten its report, either sending il
from Berlin or returning to submit its
findings here.
Europe's Trend Toward Settlement?
GBy the Associated Press.l
London, July 1.-THE best in
formed American opinion in London
inclines to the view that the state OF
affairs in Europe is generally trene-
ing toward settlement, notwithstand-
ing the ominous situation in Germany
and the economic chaos in Russia.
This is based mainly on multiplying
signs that European statesmen are
meant what he said when he declined
their invitation to go to Genoa, and
told them they must clean house be-
fore American can usefully cooper
ate"
Slow acceptance of this fact is seen
by American official observers here
in recent utterances by the French
premier. Poincare, who is believed TO
be feeling his way toward a more
conciliatory attitude respecting Ger
many and Russia.
Marks Slump Was Engineered.
NJ. Poincare's recent statements are
interpreted here as being designed TO
keep the make Germany pay" slogan
with view to disarm political oppo-
nents, but also to point out the dan
gers of too intransigeant a policy as
indicated by the depreciation of the
franc.
What may occur in Germany is the
darker side of the picture. In Ameri-
can quarters here 1t is believed the
marks slump was engineered by Ger
man hackers of a policy which re-
suited in the assassination of Foreign
Minister Rathenau, but which was un-
able to check the depreciation of the
German currency.
To Try The Hague Again.
That the Anglo-French views are
becoming more consolidated may de-
velop in a meeting of the allied su-
preme council at which Downing
street during the last few days has
been limiting.
Such a meeting probably will be
summoned If the Hague negotiations
fall down, as it will be necessary TO
make some new attempt to solve the
Russian puzzle.

PLAN FOR THE KIDS
"Kids Day" Means All Topeka
4 Youngsters Will See Game.
Topeka Baseball Boosters
Want To Give EN- a Treat.

Headed by Fred Voiland, a number
of Topeka boosters plan to come to
the rescue of the Topeka ball club
by putting on kids Day at the
ball park next Tuesday. July IS. In
the event of rain, the stunt will go
over to the following day.
If the plan is carried out, and it
probably will be. every boy and girl
in Topeka, sixteen years of age and
under, will be permitted to see the
game between the Solons and Hutch
inson on that day free of charge.
The event, in a way, will be similar
to the picnic which the Rotary club
gave the boys of the town short
time ago, except that the girls will be
included.
1t is necessary for some means for
raising oney to be carried out inn
m mediately if Topeka is to remain in
the league after the present home
series, and the sponsors of Kids
Day" believe it will help turn the
trick beside giving the youngsters of
the city an opportunity to see an ex-
hibition of league baseball without
looking thru a knot hole. If the plan
should fail, or if the regular atten-
dance the rest of the week and Sum
day does not permit Manager Cooley
the players next Monday, President
Barbour will be asked to transfer the
franchise, to some other city.
B. 1. S. To Be Guests.
1t is the intention to have present
on Kids Day the entire delegation
from the Boys State Industrial
school with music to be furnished bV
the band from that institution. The
sponsors would like to see enough
money raised to send at least 5000
children to the game and If that many
tickets can be furnished the grownups
will be forced to take to the side lines.
There will be no exceptions as to color
or manner of dress. Every Buster"
and skinny will be there and with
all of the red heads In a section to
themselves it should be n wonderful
party. A parade on Kansas avenGe
will precede the game.
The plans, however, are only in
the making. Mr.. Vo:Iand has OBJ
tanned the support of a few business
men to whom the idea of entertain
ing the youth of the town has ap-
pealed, but a united acuion on the
part of the Chamber of Commerce,
the various civic clubs ana the busi-
ness interests of Topeka as a whole is
necessary to make the event a sue
cess. The matter was discussed at
the meeting of the civic roundtable a.
noon today and will be presented to
the directors of the Rotary club to-
night.
Unless a change is agreed upon, the
price of admission on tnat day will
| be cut from rs cents to IS cents or
three for 81, including war tax The
srownups, of course, will pay the
usual price.
