 COMPELS PILOT MAKE LANDING
Hungarians Held Balloon by Drag Rope Until Constable
 Had Been Interviewed

PARIS, Aug. 12.-(By the Associat- ed Press)- Major Oscar Westover the American pilot made forced land ing August 2 at Osoretnek, Hungary, where peasants seized the drag rope and insisted on waiting for the coun- try constable to pass upon the legal aspects of the flight, according to the account sent by the American. pilot tonight.
 He had descended from an altitude of 12,000 feet because of decreasing wind. Major Westover's landing was made last Monday morning. He said that when the wind died down at the 12,000 foot altitude, the balloon was carried off its course and he immedi- ately decided to seek a lower level where he observed that the wind was good and eastward as was desired.
 He lowered the drag rope so as to obtain an advantage in wind without the loss of ballast. After the rope had dragged for about 500 yards with a good breeze, it was seized by a group of peasants who held it. Major West over, in his account. said he made ap- peals to the peasants to let go
 They replied in German. After ex- plantations had been given, they al lowed the balloon to proceed. Much gas had been lost while the balloon had been held by the peasants against the wind. Major Westover was fore ed to discharge his ballast in order to ascend.
 After gaining a slight altitude and obtaining a good breeze before the tail rope had left the ground, the bal loon was stopped again by another group of peasants. Again, gas was lost and despite appeals, the balloon was held. Another series of eXplana. tions were repeated and, finally, an. other start was made.
 The rope. on this occasion, left the ground but after travelling about a half mile. Major Westover was forced to let it down again. This time, more peasants held the balloon and occu pants until arrival of the local consta ble and his gendarmes. Major West over said he decided to rip the bal loon and end the flight there.
 Following the forced landing and the arrival of the various country of ficials Major Westover received cour tesies and apologies for the complica tions. Everything was finally cleared up and with the assistance of off cials the balloon was housed and all customs clearance and other formali ties arranged for.
 The authorities gave the American letter expressing regret for the af fair.

SUDDEN DEATH
 IF PRESIDENT
 SHOCKS DUBLIN Troubled Ireland Badly Hit by Tragic and Wholly
 Unexpected Event ASSOCIATES STUNNED Question Effect of Leaders End on Solution of Prob lem Before Government
ASSOCIATES STUNNED

DUBLIN, Aug. 12.-(By the Asso- ciated Press)- Dublin was shocked early today to learn of the sudden death of Arthur Griffith. president of the Dali Eirehnn. Everywhere 1t was commented on as one of the most tra- gic and wholly unexpected events in troubled Ireland.
 Death came at a nursing home, ap- parently from heart attack following an operation a few days ago for ton silitis. Few people in Dublin even knew that the ardent worker for the free state cause had been i'll. lmmed- lately, signs of mourning were dis played; flags were set at half mast on buildings and ships in the harbor.
 The first question on all sides was what effect the death of the leader would have on the solution of the prob lens before the provisional govern ment. His colleague, Michael Collins recently has devoted his attention, all most entirely to the military opera . tions against the irregulars whie the country ooked o MT. Griffith to man age the civil affairs until the rebel lion was suppressed.
 Though President of the Dail Fir  portfolio. William Cosgrove, minis ter of local government, acted as head of the Irish executive during Mir. Grif- fith's illness.
 The presidents associates were stunned by the news of his death. Not one of them was prepared to discuss it's effects, but they all agreed that Ireland had sustained a great loss.
 Mir. Griffith appeared quite well this morning as prior to leaving for his office just before 10 o'clock, he bade good day to the nursing staff. He stopped to tie a shoe lace when he fell forward unconscious.
 The members of the staff rushed to assist him. He regained conscious ness but soon after collapsed again when blood was seen coming from his mouth.
 Father John Lee of the Market fath- CTS, administered extreme junction, and MT. Griffith expired as the priest was reciting the concluding prayer.

 ANAzES FRENCH
British lnsistence on Re duction of Payments Has
 Halted Negotiations

LONDON Aug. 12.-(By the AssOci- ated Press)-The French delegation t. the conference On eGrman affairs was amazed to learn today that the Brit ish government proposes and insists upon reduction of tn Grmantaoin upon reduction of the German repar- ations payment to about one third the amounts fixed by the London sched- ule of payments of May 1921 that is cancel altogether the annual cash payments of 20O0OOOO0O gold marks and to leave only the 26 per cent as- sessment on German exports.
 The text of Premier Lloyd Georges proposal which forms part of the tenth point of the British memorandum reads:
 Subject to acceptance by the Ger man government of these guarantees it will be for the reparations commis- sion to grant a moratorium in respect to all cash payments remaining due from Germany up to the 31 of Decem- Der 1922, and further the commission shall as soon as possible fix the an- nual payments in cash in respect to all peace treaty charges for the sue ceeding period at which an amount not exceeding 9 per cent of the val ue of German exports as they may find to be proper with view to the early lotation of loan by the Ger man government the major portion of which shall be devoted to the payment of reparations."
 M. Poincare had doubts regarding the interpretation to be placed on this article and if was One Of the points referred by the premiers to the committee of experts. Only at this afternoons sitting of the experts com mittee did M. De Lasteyrie, the French finance minister, obtain ex- plantations from the British members that it was designed to reduce the total cash payments to a sum amount ing to 26 per cent of the value of Ger man exports, but leaving the possi- bility still of payments in kind. NJ De Lasteyrie is understood to have in- formed the committee there was not the least chance of the French gov ernment accepting such an idea, or seriously considering it.
 Consequently, the negotiations be- tween the British and French are a, a standstill. The members of the French delegation were greatly sur prised that Mir Floyd George should send word to M. Poincare that he was leaving London over Sunday. thus causing the loss of one day when only two days remain before the expira- tion of the date on which the next German payment is due, under the partial moratorium now in operation.

ATTITUDE FRIENDLY"
Investigation of Abandon ment of Trains Demanded
 by Attorney General

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The pro- posal that the seniority issue-con- ceded to be the sole obstacle to the settlement of the railroad shopcrafts strike-be submitted to arbitration by an impartial tribunal was discussed tonight by a conference of railroad brotherhood chiefs and railroad exec utives as basis for ending the trans portation tieup.
 Although no definite agreement was said to have been reached at the conference, which lasted for nearly three .hours, both sides were said to have exhibited a friendly attitude toward the suggestion.
 The railroad executives already have an appointment to meet with President Harding at 10 o'clock to- morrow morning when, it was said, Mir. Harding will be told of the new situation resulting from the late-hour negotiations in order that he might proceed from that point with his pol icy of mediation.
 Lack of information as to the atti- tude which would be taken by the leaders of the striking shopmen to the proposal was said to have prevented the other union leaders from taking a definite stand. It was expected that a report on the proceedings would be made as soon as possible to B. M. Jewell, leader of the shopcrafts and his associates, to obtain their views.
