BERLIN, Dec. rs. Germany will ask
for the removal Of the armies Of oecu-
patton as one Of ne prerequisites Of
stabiliEation Of Germany's finances
and restoration Of Germany's capacity
10 meet her reparation obligations.
This request will form part Of the
forthcoming proposals which this gov.
crnmcnt will submit 10 the Allied pre-
micrs at Paris January O.
Germany also will indicate the
amount Of the reparations total that
she Is able to pay and will suggest a
system Of annui,ies TO cover this pay
mont.
Cuno and SHINES Draft Plans
These proposals were decided on to-
day at joint meeting Of eight German
officials and representatives Of indus
try. commerce and finance from all
parts Of the country. including the
Ruhr and the Rhineland. Plans for an
internal industrial loan also were con-
sidered. Chancellor Cuno. Finance
Minister Hermes. Hugo SHINES and
other big industrialists will go over
the proposals again before the end Of
the week.
On the basis OF experts reports the
latter meeting viii decide the actual
figure OF the amount Germany can
turn over 10 the Allies. Payment will,
however. be made conditional on the
granting Of a moratorium and a sub
stantial foreign loan. as we'll as OF a
readjustment Of ihe entire reparption
problem.
Meanwhile the optimism which swept
the country al the end Of last week
at the news that America proposed 70
lend Germany $1,000, 100000 has been
considerably damped by later reports
showing that this was a false alarm.

time she lapsed into Inconsistencies,
and when she awoke shortly before 2
o'clock she was alone and the money,
which she kept in her bosom, was
gone.
Mrs. Smeltver said that on Thurs
day morning the gypsies first called
at her home. In telling her fortune,
the woman said that the gypsies told
her that she was not going to contin-
lie in her present home and that in a
short time Mrs. Smeltver, with her
family. would move to the country.
Mrs. Smeltver volunteered the infor-
nation to the strangers that she in
tended purchasing a farm, stating
that she was in i'll health and wanted
to live in the country. The gypsies
left, stating that they would return
Friday morning, and would treat her
for her illness, declaring that Mrs.
Smeltver would never regain her
health if she continued taking treat
ment from a physician.

around before letting any of my sub

The idea of retaining another
giant liner, the Inflated Titanic, sunk
after her collision with a mammoth
iceberg. on Sunday evening, April A.
1912, has finally been given up be-
cause, for one thing, its location is
not known.
Manv theories have been advanced
as to the fate of the vessel. There are
some experts who state that the ship
the pressure. 1t was sunk in the deep
est ocean in the world-the North At
lantic.
They consider it is drifting about
under the surface, midway between
the surface and the bottom, at the will
of under-currents.
Slowly being eaten away by sea ac-
ton, it may one day drift into shall
low waters, where it NAV become a
menace to shipping, or where it may,
by lucky chance, be discovered and
forced to yield up it's rich hoard.
Some there are who declare that she
dived right down to the bottom. de-
spite the terrific water resistance at
that spot. Again, there are others who
believe that pressure of water has
long since burst her into atoms.
Sunken Treasure Vessels
Here are some of the sunken treas
ure ships:
Lusitania, sunk in 1915. with $780,
600 worth of gold and jewelry; ship

zine making a specially of helping
old people, we find the following:
"The very oldest woman of whom we
have any record at this office is, Mrs
Sarah Quinn, of Chicago. Sarah was
recently overcome with gas in her
home. She was rushed to the hospital
and revived. Upon waking she said
that she felt as well as usual, and de-
sired to return home at once 50 that
she could do the dishes. Sarah is 115
years old, and shows much more en-

younger show, with respect to the

SEA DIVER GOING AFTER LUSI.
TANIA
VICTIM OF Hun ATROCITY LIES
DEEP, But WITH SPECIAL APP
PARATUS CAPTAIN LEAVITT
HOPES TO REACH IL

By Captain Benjamin F. Leavitt in the
Philadelphia Record.
Before September of this year |
hope to dig at least $15,000,000 out of
the bed of the sea off the Irish coast.
This represents roughly the amount
that went down with the Lusitania
and the Arabic, but that will only be
the beginning of my task, for at the
present time there is reposing on the
bed of the ocean vast treasures be-
sides which the tabled treasures of
the past fade into insignificance.
l intend to devote the rest of my
life to the task of raising the great
treasures that lie buried fathoms deep.
The expedition in its first stages will
cost 100000 at least. and there are
more than 600 shareholders in the
company behind me.
To reach the LuSitania we shall
have to dive 2S5 feet. and for the Ara
bic 315 feet, which is just twice as far
as any diver has ever gone in the Or
binary rubber suit.
l have spent six years working out
| the plans for this expedition. most of
the tirTe being given to perfecting the
diving suit that would enable us to
go down deep enough.
In my first test with the suit | es-
tablished record by going down ESQ
feet and staying there long enough to
prove that nv outfit is good enough
| for the job we have on hand. Alto
gether l have had eight diving suits
made. at a cost of $500 each.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1922-08-18
Suits Made of Metal

The suits are made of manganese
bronze. a quarter-inch thick, the tor
so and breastplate solid. and the legs
made of ribbons of bronze incased in
rubber, with ball bearings at the
shoulders.
Salvage work has never yet been
possible lower than $50 feet, because
the pressure is too great. Air lines
get tangled, and no diver can WORK
even at that depth for more than 20
minutes at a time, with an hour and
quarter to lower and pull up.
It takes nearly all the 20 minutes
getting used to ones surroundings,
without being able to have time Tor
locating the wreckage. With my suit
novice can go down from 300 to 300
feet. and remain down for four hours
at least.
The only line that connects the div
err with the ship above will be half
inch non-twisting cable. Inside this
will be a telephone wire connecting
with a transmitter and receivers with
in the headpiece. The suit weighs $50
pounds. but the enormous water pres
sure reduces this to only 70 pounds
on the ocean bed.
To aid me in the task | shall have
another invention of my own-one
that will revolutionize the diving art.
This is a deep-sea light, glass globe
half an inch thick, containing 300
candle-power bulb. A series of these
will be dropped on weights, enabling
the diver to see perfectly over a radI-
US of seven feet.
The salvage ship will be held over
the sunken ship by six five-ton an
chors, and by electric defamation dy-
Mantle charges will be used to force
omen the strongrooms of the Lusitan-
ia and Arabic, so that we can get at
the bar gold and other treasure there
in.
