mentOuS one of a rupture of the en-.
tente and the wrecking of the treaty
of Versailles. The French premier
summoned his cabinet and it unquali-
hedly Endorsed all he had done and
said in London. 1t also decided the
government was competent to handle
the situation without converting parlia-
ment, unless conditions become much
worse. Though fully prepared to put
into force the French sanctions
against Germany, the cabinet decided
to await the action of the Preparations
commission concerning a moratorium.
Germany meanwhile defaulted in the
war debts due on Tuesday. declaring
in a note to the allies that this was
due to the demand for foreign cur
rency to pay for urgently needed nee
esSaries of life and to the fall in the
value of the mark. The reparations
commission was trying to devise some
way of tiding over the situation until
November or December when, it be-
lieves, another meeting of the allied
premierS will have to be held to con-
slider the whole question Of German
debt and finances and the interallied
war debts.
The breakup Of the London confer
ence caused another great decline in
the value Of the mark, and at the
same time came a series Of farm
strikes throughout the country led by
the communists and seriously threat
ening the harvests. Chancellor Wirth,
in statement to press correspond
ents, said:
Germany cannot pay in gold. Ten
million gold marks, paid this week,
were drawn from money set apart to
buy wheat this month. The first duty
of the German government is to give
bread to our sinking people.
I'm Austria, which is less densely
populated than Germany, the author
ity of the state has been endangered.
Germany is now heading under full
sail into parallel conditions. What
can France gain from her policy? Our
inability to pay in gold will be fol.
lowed by inability to pay in anything
What comes after that is not politics
1T Is social revolution. We Of the
German republic have restored har-
mony in central Europe, where for
merly an entire upheaval threatened.
We are today sitting at the deathbed
Of our work."

THOUGH expected for some time,
L the death of Lord Northcliffe, the
famous British journalist and leading
publicist Of the world, came as a real
shock. America feels the loss only
less than Great Britain, for he was
often in this country, knew thoroughly
its people and it's ideals and was the
greatest force in the promotion of
close friendly relations between the
two nations. His power in British poll
tics was tremendous, and there Is no
one to fill his place. ViscOunt North
cliffe was buried in Westminster Alb
hey Thursday with all the honors that
could be bestowed. Eminent persons,
including many ambassadors, filled the
edifice and the humber folk thronged
the streets outside.

TITS final suggestion for settling the
i l. strike of railway shopmen having
been rejected by the union, and only
accepted by the railway executives
with reservations, President Harding
lost nearly all the wonderful patience
with which he has been dealing with
that problem.
On Friday the President laid the
whole matter before congress. After
declaring the right of employer and
employee alike to conduct their bust
ness must be recognized, he said he
was "resolved TO use all the power Of
the government TO maintain transpor-
tation and sustain the right of men TO
work" He said the Esch-Cummins act
was inadequate and recommended &C
ton to make the railway labor boards
decisions enforceable and effective
against carriers and employees alike"
He scored severely the strikers for
their acts of brutality and their con-
tempt for law, and announced his In
tention~ TO invoke laws, civil and GRIM
anal forbidd:ng conspiracies hindering
Interstate commerce and requiring
s9fety In railway service.

a good view of the men on the crew,

Paul, the field boss and header
puncher, and "slim," the loader,
young fellow about twenty-five years

the stacker, the two other box driv-

was Tom Clancy, a local farmer lad

the whole thing was perfect tumble

Wheat Nodded to Breeze.
We were ready. The foreman took
the lead. He walked out through a
beautiful level stretch of wheat that
leaned and nodded at the light touch
of the morning breeze. In the middle
of the field he placed a stake for the
header puncher to follow for the first
swath. The "puncher" climbed upon
his low saddle, spoke to his eight
horses, four on each side Of the beam
which led directly from his saddle
to the header. The first box driver
drove under the spout and moved
across the field with the header.
Slowly the big reel turned and
brushed the golden stems into the
singing cutting blade. The hay fell
back on the canvas draper, upon
which 1t was carried up the spout to
now out into the header box.
