VERSAILLES PACT FARLEY

(Continued from Page One.)

(Continued from Page One-) Japanese ambassador to France, rep resented his government.
 German Problem.
 Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain will lead asvigorous attack to settle the German indemnity for all time. Premier Lloyd George is un- dersoood to be optimistic over the re suit but this optimism is not widely shared. Other British officials fear a deadlock with France insisting upon the right of independent action against Germany to enforce her terms.
 The proposed moratorium for Ger many was the first question on the agenda Premier Lloyd George was understood to favor the proposal oe- fore the Inter-Alled Preparations Com mission for a moratorium on the in demnity installments for the balance of the year with the payment by Ger many of S2,435,000 on Aug. 18th to apply on the pre-war civil debts owed by Germans to Frenchmen. Premier Poincare of France, is expected to oppose bitterly any such plan. It IS believed to favor to the British view point, while the Belgian attitude mas not been defined
 Hitch Is Reported.
 It was recently reported from Brus- sels that Belgium and France were not entirely in accord on the mora torium question, but in view or the closeness of their relations on the
  BeIgians, will split support the French.
 Before leaving for 10' Downing Street, Premier Poincare was asked for his views on the possible outcome.
 ''The least said before the confer ence the better it is," he replied.
 It is believed that Premier Po1ncare brought with him from Paris a pro- gram for dealing sternly with Ger many. Although there appeared to be ground for the opinion that he was nrepared it abandoned his proposals for debt cancellation in view of the refusal of the United States to do so: Debt cancellation was to be one or the items on the program but in view of the recent developments statesmen fear that it would only heighten the tension already existing. If this ques- ton is brought forward Premier Lloyd George will attempt 10 use lne Erencb deht to Great Britain as a lever on which to get an advantage on the moratorium issue.

SNOWSTORM PUTS BELGIAN BALLOON
 OUT OF BIG RACE

Geneva, Aug. 7-The first of the balloons competing in the James Gordon Bennett race to come to earth was the Spanish entry, Jesus Fernando Duro," piloted by ID. Magdalena, which was damaged and forced to land in Grand Sacconnex, near here, after one hours flight.
 The leading balloons caught a strong upper current upon as- cending yesterday afternoon and sped toward Berne. Reports from that city say the first three flying from 300 to 1,50Q metres above the earth, were seen at s o'clock last night, and three others at 10 o'clock, travelling rapidly in d Q northeast direction.
 The English balloon "Bee." piloted by Griffith Brewer. land- ed a 1 o'clock this morning near Zurich on account of heavy rains.
 Captain George, pilot of the Belgian balloon "DeIlick,' tele- graphed to the committee that he had landed in a snow storm, in the forest northeast of Friedrich shafen this morning.
 Indications are that the race will be much shorter than had been anticipated, owing to bad weather.

 Coroner Elders promised a thor ough investigation of circumstances which caused the disaster, the worst train wreck in the history of that part of the country, the crews Of both trains were summoned by the Cor oner to give their versions of the ac- cident. Officials of the road, includ- ing Assistant General Manager Can non, declared yesterday that the block signals were found to be in or der after the crash occurred, and all were unanimous in their assertion that Matt Glenn, dead engineer of the fast rain which ploughed through four coaches of the local train near the station, did not heed a warning signal.

Einstein Remains In Germany;
 Not Afraid Of Assassination

Berlin, Aug. 7.-While the report has been proved absolutely untrue that Dr. Albert Einstein, founder of the theory of relativity. has fled from Germany in fear of assassination, it was learned today that the famous scientist has been warned by the DO lice that he might be the object of attack by, the anti-Senlittc ring.
 Dr. Einstein's name was not found on the "black 1ist' taken from the assailants of Maximifian Harden, ed itor of Die Zukunp," but the police have provided special body guard for him.
 As for the scientist the warnings have gone ignored.
 He is living quietly pursuing his studies and expects to remain in Ger many until September when he will leave for Japan to deliver a series of lectures on his famous doctrine on limited space.'
 As a result of the investigation into the reported threat of assassination, International News Service is able to reveal for the first time that pr. Fin

KILLED STEPPING
 ON AUTO STARTER

Sullivan, Indiana, Aug. 7-John Everhart, s5, a coal miner, was killed here yesterday, when he stepped on the starter of his automobile and an explosion and fire followed. Elmer Hale, 30, also a miner, is being held in connection with Everhart's death
 The theory expressed by the au- thorities is that dynamite had been placed under tl>e cushion on the front seat. The starter wires were then connected with the dynamite, it is be- iieved and the cap of the gasoline tank removed. This was done, the authori- ties believed. so that if the driver was not killed in the explosion, fire would follow and he would be burned to death.
 Everhart was fined in court here a few days ago on a. charge of miscon- duct with Hale's wife. Hale, who is an expert shot firer, denied any knowl- edge of the alleged dynamiting.

 Beautiful 19-year-old Margot Fin stein, daughter by the first mar riage, received the correspondent in her home in Berlin apartment house in which, curiously enough, live three different Einstein families, none re- lated to the other, not even "rela- lively"

 Friends of hte professor said they did not believe his life was in dan- ger, and, anyhow, according to the Einstein theory. if the professor de parted from Germany, it would be Germany fleeing from him, not him. self fleeing from Germany.
