and reduce his offer fer the other property, valued at upward of $100.- 100000, from S5,000000 to S2,000,0O0. If Ford acts accordingly Congress, it is confidently believed would give him Muscle Shoals the greatest source of potential power and wealth in the southern states.
 So simple does the proposition ap- pear to Washington observers that it is said that if Ford actually wants Muscle Shoals he will amend his off, fer by eliminating Gorgas. whereas if he wants to defeat the republi- cans or at any rate to make the race, himself, he will decline to amend.
 If he has the great Muscle Shoals contract with the government, he could not be President or a candi date for the presidency. If he wants the presidency, however, it is pointed out here, he can assail the republicans for denying the farmers their hearts desire and playing on the side of the corporations.
 He can refer to the Gorgas con- tract as an excuse for republican hesitancy and cite proof under which certain legal officers of the govern ment have declared that contract not legally binding.

By FERDINAND JAIN UeaBed Wire to The .Age-Herald)

BERLIN, Sept. 12.-The German government offers France 8 sweep ing mortgage on governmental and private property as the basis for reparations payments.
 Chancellor Stresemann, addressing Journalists at a beer evening" con- ference at the foreign office Wednes- day, outlined the proposals which the German nation hopes will end the chaos resulting from the Ruhr occupation.
 The German chancellor declared that acceptance of the offer would make it possible for France to ob- tain rather large payments imme- for the evacuation of the Ruhr would thereby be fulfilled.
 Ready to End Resistance.
 Stresemann declared that Germany was willing to end passive resistance if France accepted the present Cf- fey. or provided suitable guarantees for the future evacuation of the Ruhr.
 Admitting that Germany desired to shorten passive resistance as much as possible, Stresemann stated that the negotiations with France have thus far encountered difficulties, but -that if such a far-reaching offer was accepted, and the restoration of German sovereignty in the Rhine land and the Ruhr assured, passive resistance could be quickly and easily settled. provided France gave assurances she would evacuate the Ruhr.

 Answering Poincare's statement that Germany had offered no mort gaCes on German industry not al ready given France by the treaty of Versailles, the chancellor declared that the inclusion of private prop erty in the new separations pledge gave possibilities of liquidation, while the securities mentioned in the treaty of Versailles could not be liquidated at the present time.
 Ho stated that the interest from the mortgaged governmental and private property would be paid to trustees representing the reparations creditors, who could obtain loans by issuing debentures against the mort gages and the interest.

Fires Increase
AS Women Take
to Cigarettes
Underwriters Are Amazed by
Years Property Losses
of Half Billion.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Of a total
fire loss of $495, 400, 900 during 1921
the twin hazards of matches and
smoking were responsible for $25,-
000, 900, a report of the National
Board of Fire Underwriters declares.
The underwriters raised the ques-
ton as to whether this increase is
not due to the fact that women are
smoking in greater numbers, as the
match and smoke loss for 1915, the
last available figures, amounted to
only $16.45S,562.
The total loss Of nearly $5O0,OOO
900 is a staggering increase over
any other year, even including 1906,
when the San Francisco earthquake
raised the total beyond normal. 1t
amounts to $4.54 per capita.
while the huge losses, shown by
our figures are deplorable from
every standpoint, considering that
they represent the wasting of time,
labor and material resources at the
rate of $1,357 900 a day." said w.
E. Mallalieu, general manager OF
the board of underwriters, ''the fact
that the largest part of the loss
was preventable makes the destruc-
ton particularly appalling.
''Most fires are due either to
ignorance or carelessness, and could,
therefore be avoided by the exer-
else of care and common sense, to
the everlasting benefit of the entire
nation"
