mission to Make Decision To-
day

Paris, July 12.-By A. PD-
Germany served notice on the Allied
powers through the reparations COM
mission today that shs could no
longer meet cash obligations of any
sort whether growing out Of the
Versailles treaty stipulations. UNDER
taken by acceptance Of the London
ultimatum of May 5, 1921, or ar
ranged by the schedule of payments
drawn up by the reparations COM
mission on March 81, 1922.
The depreciation of the mark on
f.reign exchanges is given as the
reason for the impossibility of Ger
many to pay, and for her request
that she be relieved of cash en-
gagements, including the payment
of 100000 gold marks on Saturday
as we'll as all subsequent payments
in 1922 and 1928 and 1924.
The German note submitted 20 the

garding cash payments after 1924.
but asks that the negotiations for a
foreign loan interrupted at Paris last
month. which Germany blames for
the continued fall of the mark. be
resumed at the earliest possible date.
or a financial, economic and social
catastrophe in Germany is likely to
develop.
The reparations commission will
decide tomorrow whether Germany
must meet the July Is payment, but
will make no ruling as to further
moratorium until it receives the re-
port of the committee on guaran-
tees. now in Berlin.
The commission this afternoon
request for a moratorium of two
and a half years on cash reparations
payments, which was contained in
the German note. 1t is understood
that the commission tentatively de-
termined to insist upon the pay
ment of 324,000.0OO gold marks due
on Saturday.
Inc committee on guarantees on
whose report depends the question
of moratorium, will furnish de-
tn on tho financial situation in
Germany. Elm reparations circles,
however. the feeling is becoming
stronger that some relief in the form
of a moratorium on cash payments
will be granted Germany, a majority
of the members Of the commission
seeming to favor such a step.
The Germans ask to be relieved OF
next Saturdays payment on the
ground that the money was badly
needed to pay for foreign cereals
soon to be purchased to insure
enough bread for the people.

Deadly Shell-Eight Victims
Range from II to 16 Years

Watertown. N. z, July 12.-Eight
children. ranging in age from Is to IL

day by the explosion of a 75-milli-
metre shell on the back porch of a
house fl Dimmick street occupied by
Edward G. Workman and William L.

Edna Workman. IA; Sarah Barden. IS;
and Donald Horton. u. of Pulaski,

as a souvenir and used on the rear

He kept it in his home during the
winter and this summer used it as a

his rear porch.
Captain G. H. Schumacher, con-
struction quartermaster, temporarily
with the first field artillery at Madi-
son barracks, was asked by police to
inspect the remnants of the shell to-
night. Captain Schumacher believes
the excessive heat beating down on
the projectile caused the T n I
charge to expand, and made the shell
liable to explosion at much less
conclusion than normally.

America Still
Bit of a Mystery to
Britain Says Geddes

London, July IL -(By A. PIN a
speech remarkable for it's frankness
and evident sincerity, Sir Auckland
Geddes, British Ambassador to the
| United States, told a large gathering
at the Pilgrims banquet in his honor
tonight that England did not wholly
understand America. 1t was vital
that more of the people Of England
should visit the United States to be-
come acquainted with the remarkable
characteristics OF the people and the
extraordinary industrial engineering,
civic and educational progress of the
country.
America had accomplished in the
brief century and half of her exist
ence. he said, what it had taken
Great Britain thousand years of
| Slow progress to create.
| 1t was inevitable that the United
! States should have different view
, point in many matters from that Of
Great Britain, the ambassador said,
but when the representatives Of the
| two countries sat at the same table,
- they d d at the disarmament con-
ference, all these differences became
reconciled. and facts and events were
seen in the same white ligh. of logic.
The friendly understanding between
! the two countries could be vastly
promoted by frequent visits not only
Of official representatives of Great
Britain. but private persons.
The women of the United States.
| Sir Auckland proceeded, were now
playing tremendous part in the life
and government Of the country be-
cause OF their voting power. He
concluded by saving that the rela-
tions between the country we're now
franker and more friendly than ever
in history.
The guests included Police Com
missioner Enright Of New York:
Otto Kahn. Robert P. Skinner. Con-
sui General Cyrus H. Curtis. Lord
Lee Of Fareham. Sir Hamar Green
wood and Sir Eric Geddes.

Sabotage by
UnknOwns in
Manchester Mill

Manchester, N. H., July '12.-The
first sabotage discovered in the Amos
keag mills occurred today when it was
found that a dozen warps in the Cool
idge mill had been slashed evidently
by razor blade. The guilty person
has not been apprehended.
Amoskeag officials report an increase
in returning operatives today. No an
nouncement has been made today of
the intention to open new units.
Manchester will send the largest del
egation in its history to the coming
convention Of United Textile Workers
at Fall River. The delegation will
, number so and each is pledged to vote
for the reelection of James Starr as
vice president. Mr.. Starr stated to-
day that he had been so busy with
New Hampshire strike affairs that he
had not considered a reelection. He
returned this morning from a tour of
the state strike centers. He reported
that there was little change in the
situation.

Will Not, However, Farley With
Jewell, Head of Strikers
Consider Peace Program Of
fered by Rail Board Chair
man--Outbreaks Reported in
Several Places

Chicago, July 12.--(By A. P.)-
While fatty refusing to meet the
leaders of 100000 striking shopmen
to discuss peace proposals, railway
executives tonight left open the door
through the United States Railroad
Board.
Immediately after reaching an
agreement with the heads of the
Big Four" brotherhoods not to re-
quire their members to do any of
the work of striking shopmen, the
executives began consideration of a
peace program submitted to them
by Ben w. Hooper, chairman of the
labor board. after a conference with
B. M. Jewell. head Of the striking
shopmen.
The agreement was reached at a
conference Of representatives Of the
brotherhoods at the office of Samuel
NJ. FELTON,, president of the Chicago
and Great Western.
He said the roads would be noti-
fed to stop the practices to which
the brotherhoods objected.
In railway circles the belief was
expressed that the mere opening Of
negotiations was a long step to-
ward a peaceful settlement and that
the move of the day had resulted
in throwing the case back into the
lap Of the labor board in the exact
position in which it had rested when
Mr.. Jewell had allowed a strike order
to 60 into effect on July 1, after
ignoring a summons to appear before
the board with the railway executives
and explain his action. He later de-
clared, however. action was due to
the fact that the meeting was held
too late to allow him to withdraw
his strike order and that to have
attempted to do so would have re-
suited in chaos and possible blood
shed.
Meanwhile outbreaks between
strike sympathizers. railway guards
ard federal marshals were repOrted
