Washington, Dec. 30.-France now
stands in the way of American in
tervention in Europe.
Great Britain, Germany and some
other nations concerned, it was learn
ed from a high administration Off
cial today, already have informally
indicated their willingness to accept
the American Intervention proposal
an international commission of
business men and financial experts
to recommend a just and practicable
revision of German reparation.
The official revelation of the Ameri-
can plan for bringing Europe out Of
its present economic chaos was made
by President Harding here and Sec
retary Of State Hughes in an ad-
dress at New Haven last night to
force "a show down" as to whether
the United States can aid Europe.
France has not rejected the pro-
posal, but for some time has been
withholding its attitude regarding 1t.
Tired of waiting for the French
attitude, this government decided to
force the issue, by making the pro-
posal public, according to the ad--
ministration official. 1t was learned
that negotiations on the proposal
have been carried on for nearly two
months.
While France again is apparently
the stumbling block, it is still hoped
that she will accept the American
PROPOSAL. and it is noted that Hughes
said at the conclusion of his speech,
~ hope that the way may soon be
found for a frank discussion and de-
termination Of what is essentially an
economic problem"
Germany already has definitely ac-
cepted the project, and enough OF the
other Powers concerned have lndl-
Gated a willingness to accept for TINS
Government formally to put the plan
into execution if it were not for the
attitude of France. The United Press
is informed that France has not act
ually rejected the proposition, be-
cause she does not want to place her
self in direct opposition to the United
States, but by her attitude Of delay
and unwillingness she has made 1t i'm
possible for the Washington oGVern-
ment to go ahead.
Some quarters herein however,
thought that Hughes speech and the
announcement at the White House
might indicate that France has lndl-
Gated willingness to participate III
the proposed expert conference OF
commission providing that no agree
ment on the reparations question is
developed by the scheduled reconven-
ton of the Premiers' meeting at Paris
Monday. Such an agreement, however
seems hopeless.
A direct warning against France
CARRYING out her Ruhr threats was
/ contained in Secretary Hughes's ad-
"Apart from political results,
believe that the opinion Of experts is
that such measures will not produce
renaration payments but might tend
to destroy the basis Of those pay
ments which must be found IN ecoho'
mci recuperation."
The plan follows convlction on ths
part of this Government that the re,
parations question must be divorced
from politics, if it is to bet se1Iied

AUTO MOVEMENT is HEAVY
Demand for Cars Brings Increase in
Business for Eastern Roads.

Prosperity on the middle western
roads, which came with the revival of
business during the summer of 1921,
has at last hit the eastern roads, ac-
that a general Improvement is now
being felt.
One reason why conditions are i'm
proving in the east is the continued
heavy production and demand for
automobiles. The National Automo-
bile Chamber of Commerce reports
very heavy shipments of automobiles
for the first four months of this year,
compared with last.
1t is estimated that 213, 1000 passen-
ger cars and trucks were produced by
all makers in April. This would be
an increase of 35 per cent over April,
1921, and "a per cent over March,
1922 the heaviest shipments pre-
viously recorded was in March, 1920,
when 29,326 carloads and 57,272
driveways and boat shipments were
made, and approximately 220, 900 cars
and trucks produced. =
Thus, April, this year, appears to
have set a record for rail shipping,
due to more adequate car supply, and
it was second in the number of ma
chimes produced in one month.
Calling attention to these figures
the car service division of the Ameri-
can Railway asso citation, in a circular
addressed to the railroads. says that
in order that continued heavy produc-
ton at motor car plants may be fully
supplied with rail transportation it is
highly important that:
Automobile cars be moved prompt
ly. loaded or empty, to owners or
nearest automotive proucing territory
Cars be not loaded with freight
which takes them out of route.
Autom Mobile cars be not loaded with
cement, lime, plaster or other freight
that leaves q residue of dust in the
car Many hundreds of automobile
cars have been rejected at autOmo-
bile plants because of dust.
Owners give special attention TO the
repair of automobile cars.

UNION PACIFIC IN MOVIES.
Universal Picture Shows History of
Building of That Road.

The Universal Film company is now
making a picture entitled ''In the Days
of Buffalo Bill" which is in reality
a history of the building of the Union
Pacific railroad. The story keeps very
close to historical fact, but the haz-
ardous conditions under which the
road was built have furnished material
for a series of romatnic episodes as
thrilling as any purely imaginative
story.
The film company took a large
number of actors and a special train
to Mannix, on the Los Angeles division
of the Los Angeles & Salt Lake rail-
road, just east of Yermo. Cal, and
there the final secenes of the building
of the Union Pacific were filmed. This
included the meeting of the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific at Promon-
tory Point. and the driving of the
golden spike.
The picture will be run as a serial.
and will be released over the entire
United States at a date which will soon
be made public.

PROFIT IN WATER TREATMENT
Missouri Pacific Makes Big Return
From Its "a Treating Plants.

The care with which the Missouri
Pacific has compiled records of the
economies in operation resulting from
water treatment has caused the re-
ports OF this road to be watched with
interest from year to year.
In the report for 1921, which has
recently been compiled. it is shown
that the seventy seven treating plants
on the system. including ten placed
in service last year. treated 1,7S1,-

A916247 pounds Of scaling solids were
removed
Using thirteen cents as the conser-
vatfve estimate of the savings per
pound of scaling solids removed. there
which should be deducted $17O,575
for the cost OF treatment, supervision
and depreciation OF plants. leaving a
net saving of S443,369 or a return of
1AS per cent on the $309, Sill invested
in treating facilities.
The total consumption of water on
the system during 1921 was 5,94S,1 Ill.,
600 gallons of which 5,153. .024.000 gal
Ions were used for making steam. OF

ment in 1921, including operation. su-
pervision and 10 per cent depreciation.
was IS cents per 1000 gallons.
It is estimated that the removal OF
these solids from the water resulted
in a saving OF approximately 5 per
cent or 1000 tons in coal consump-
ton, while the records show that the
life OF nues and fireboxes has been
since treating plants were installed
and that delays to traffic from engine
failures due to boiler troubles have
been reduced from so to so per cent.

a NEW UNION PACIFIC TRAIN
Tourists TO Yellowstone Park Can
Make Entrance in Daylight.

A new Union Pacific train, which
connects with the automobile service
at the West Yellowstone entrance, has
been scheduled on account of the vol
ume of tourist traffic which now uses
this gateway, and not particularly on
account of the increased patronage
which will be attracted this year by
the celebration of the parks fifueth
anniversary.
over so per cent of the tourists who
reached the park by rail last year used
the West Yellowstone entrance, and
this year passengers can obtain day
light service on the new train thru
the picturesque Snake river valley.
The train will have thru sleepers from
St. Louis. Kansas City and Denver on
the Pacific Coast Limited which passes
thru Topeka at s:0T O'Clock at night.
