CUNO
ASKS TO RESIGN
Continued From Page II

adoption of the Weimar constitution
which made Germany a republic-to
express their disapproval of the pres
ent government and the food and
money shortage.
The threat of a monarchist upris-
ing, which has given no little con-
Germ Of late, was almost forgotten
today. and the Cuno government took
steps to prevent trouble from the
other Objectionable left.
There was "a midnight conference,
called by Ebert at the presidents pal
ace in the Wilhelmstrasse to which
chancellor Cuno and other govern
ment leaders were hidden. They met
behind locked iron gates where sol
diers paced, rifles on shoulders, and
ugly. squat machine guns pointed
their nozzles toward the wide sweep
OF street from which trouble would
have to come.
Red agitators held meeting despite
the presidential ban, demanding arm
ing Of the workers as a foundation
for a PEASANTS and laborer's govern
ment.
1t is admitted the country faces a
bitter, and dangerous crisis, politically
and economically. Workers, receiving
what amounts to a mere pittance,
clamor for Cuno's resignation.
Socialists are meeting to decide
whether to support the communists
who are determined to force through
the Reichstag on Monday a vote OF
lack OF confidence. The Socialist de-
cislon will seal the fate OF the Cuno
ministry, which now hangs by a
thread. The Socialists, who hold the
balance of power, may decide to
leave the government dangling in this
precarious position or to plunge 1t
into the discard.
Decision on this will be postponed
until next week
Meanwhile, new rioting is report
ed in Dresden and Rather. where po-
lice and workers have suffered mutual
casualties in street clashes.
Radical newspapers in Berlin are to
be suppressed If they incite violence.
Among the labor troubles most af-
fecting Americans Is the freight
strike. Many American tourists are
becoming panicky, seeking advice
about Immediately leaving the coun-
try, curtailing their visits for fear
train and service may be cut off.
Banks are issuing checks for one
million, five million and ten million
marks in lieu of paper currency. The
strike Of printers of money ended last
night after lasting IL hours. but dur
ing that time a days printing, ten
billion marks. was lost.
The city Of Berlin is considering
issuing municipal money. 1t is i'm
possible to pay all salaries, members
CT the Reichstag having to go with
out their pay Friday, because the
government cashiers had no money.
The situation in the Ruhr is desper-
ate with the food shortage extreme
while the Rhineland and the Sepa-
ratist movement is reported gaining
strength.

STANDARD OILS FURNISH
CURB TRADING FEATURE
Issues Continue to Hold Strength
Industrials Neglected.
BIZ United Financial

By United Financial
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-With the
exception of continued strength in the
Standard Oil issues, the curb was
desultory affair today, with traders in
evidence. The Industrial list was prac-
tically neglected.
There was fair amount of activity
at the opening Of the session. much
Of which consisted of profit taking by
traders who followed up the advance
earlier In the week. Prices were easy
in consequence. Trading fell off later
and the market for the most part
turned dull.
In the industrials REQ Motors re-
peated at Is and then reached to
TN. Durant dropped a point to SS.
There was fair interest in the mines
but no important price changes.
There has been a marked decrease
in activity on the New York curb mar
ket during the past twelve months
and at the present time business in
curb securities is very small.

The special presidential train car
rying high officials of State who went
to Marion for the funeral of Warren
G.. Harding pulled into the Union Sta
ton at 1855 a. m
Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge went imme-
diately to the temporary White House.
Some of his advisers have sug-
gested Mr.. Coolidge dodge the throngs
that will bring pressure upon him for
days to come and go to Swarnpscott,
Mass, for a little vacation. The
strain of nervousness and excitement
during the funeral services has left
its mark on both Mr.. ard Mrs. Cool
idge.
Stays on job
But the President today decided to
remain in Washington-on duty.
The first question pressing for
action is the resignation Of George
Christian as secretary to the Presi-
dent.
Christian announced his resignation
in Marion yesterday almost immedi-
ately after the funeral. The usual
procedure of resignation has been in
the past for a man to tender his resig-
nation to the President first, either
verbally or written.
