FORCE MARK DOWN
BY WEBB MILLER
U. p, Staff Correspondent

PARIS, April 23.--Thc Berlin
government is the prisoner of an in
dustrial oIigarchy, similar to the old
military oligarehy which, seeks to
force Germany INTO bankruptcy in
an attempt to escape payments of
reparatiOns, meanwhile using the
money due the allies to perfect a
great industrial machine, Premier
Poincare declared in an exhaustive
statement given the United Press
Poincare stated that reports of
three ministers who have just re.
turned show the situation in the
Ruhr is getting better ad better.
He charged that Berlin is directing
the armed resistance, extending
even to the assassination of French
soldiers. -
1.-THE population of the Ruhr does
not intend to sacrifice itself to
cause the great industrial leaders,
who since Versailles have done
everything to avoid payment of rep
ar;.tions, to build their own pros
perity at the expense Of execution
of the treaty. ne said
Perfectdng Machine
Insufficient taxes are inefficient
ly collected and the fall Of the mark
is augmented from week to week.
Eut at the same time, while they
are thus preparing openly and vol
UNFAIRLY for bankruptcy, the money
owed the allies is being employed to
perfect an industrial machine and
to increase proGuction in proportion,
for the economical struggle of the
future.
In January two thirds of the
colossal task was finished. To il
France was crushed with taxes and
involved in debt. She was forced to
spend, in place of the responsible
author of the injuries, the sum of
ninety eight billion francs. Now
you know why we are in the Ruhr.
Action Necessary
Encouraged by the forbearance
Of the allies, the Germans flattered
themselves the allies would sicken
and finally abandon the project. 1t
was necessary to put an end to
this scandalous scheme. t
at is not sufficient to solve the
reparations question quickly and
definitely, but it must be an equit-
able solution. World peace de-
pends upon it. ~'''--.-'s. '-a-F'' 90 =.
l'.ln the Ruhr we observe a sort
Of relaxation. The population is
becoming accustomed to the present
state Of things. The infrequent in
cidents are the work of small
minority" a.
As reply to the statement Of
President Ebert in an interview Civ
en- the United Press, in which the
German chief executive dwelt Mt
some length on the killing of work
crs by French troops at Essen, Poin-
care reviewed the whole Essen in
cident, giving striking proof that
the French soldiers were attacked
and that they maintained remark
able sangfroid and discipline before
finally being forced to fire.

IMPROVING AIRsHIPs

Can you imagine flock of spar
rows making their home on an eagle,
the eagle doing the long distance
flying and the sparrows hopping on
and off while in the air, making
short skirmishing journeys and
safely returning to the carrier bird
Something like that Uncle Sam is
planning for his aeroplane service.
A giant airship is now under con-
struction for the army. It will be
equipped with twelve small fighting
aeroplanes, which can take off" and
return to the mother airship while
the latter is moving through the air.
Experiments at Mineola, l.. l.,
which until now have been kept
secret, have been successful. In
these experiments a large ring is
placed on the upper wing Of the
aeroplane and hook on the bottom
of the airship. The aeroplane flies
below the ship and at the same rate
of speed so that it is a simple matter
to engage the ring in the hook and
thus suspend the planes.
Three of these airships have been
contracted for by the army.

BY 1890 the total population of the
plain was perhaps $4,000, and a
small amount Of land was being ir-
rigated About 1900 the country be-
gan to realize that desert lands could
be reclaimed by irrigation, and be-
tween 1900 and 1910 many extern
sive government and private irriga-
ton systems were put into operation
in southern Idaho and in other wes-
tern states. Tracts in southern Ida
no amounting to more than 1900
900 acres are now being irrigated
With the growth of population that
followed the opening of these vast
tracts there came naturally de-
mand for power. The geological
surveys report gives the history OF
power in this region. The first de-
velopments were small and were UNI
der local control, but as the field of
operations widened interference be-
tween companies led to intense rival
ry and to over-development, which
was followed by depression and reor-
ganization, resulting finally in the
formation of the Idaho Power Com
pany, which now owns and operates
practically all the hyroelectric devel-
opments in southern Idaho along the
Snake river. The report gives the
history of each project in detail and
describes the project works, at which
over 10000 horse power is now be-
ing made available for use.
The report contains maps and de-
scriptions of 10 different sites at
which 100000 horsepower could
probably be developed, even during
times of low water flow. 1t sets
forth the amount of water available
for power development and the
schemes by which the fullest use
may be made of the water. Chap
ters of the report are devoted to the
photography and geology of the riv-
er valley and the springs along the
river.

BIGGEST SNAKE IN THE WORLD

BOISE.-The study of the power
resources of the Snake river begun
| in 1920 by an examination of the
river between Huntington, Oregon,
and Lewiston, Idaho, by engineers
of the United States geological sur
vey of the. interior department was
continued in 1921 by similar ex-
animation of the river in southern
Idaho, between Miner and Weiser.
| The report on this work will not
be published for several months, but
| in the meantime in order to make
manuscript copies of it will be open
for public inspection at the Office OF
the geological survey in Washington,
D. c., and at the office Of the district
engineers at Boise, in room 615 Of
the Idaho building.
In it's western course across south
ern Idaho Snake river has cut thru
the basalt and stratified sediments
that make up the extensive plains
bordering the river, and between
Miner and Weiser it has total fall
of nearly 1000 feet. OF this drop
$40 feet is concentrated at two
points-at Twin Falls, where the
fall is 40 feet, and at Shoshone
falls, where it Is 200 feet. At high
stages Of the river both of these
falls compare favorably with Mag
ara. Shoshone Falls is now utilized
for the development Of power, but
Twin Falls and many other places
which are described in the report are
valuable potential power sites not
yet developed.
Prior to 1884 when the main line
of the Oregon Short Line railroad
was completed across southern Ida
no, the Snake river plain from Pc
catello westward was a sagebrush
desert Boise had population of
about fifty and other points at which
there are now large villages or cities
were little more than stage stations.

BANKS WARNED AGAINST
CLAIMING us. APPROVAL
State Department Sends Circular
Forbidding Statement in For
eign Bond Issues.

The State Department yesterday
made public the text of a circular
distributed a year ago to a number
of American banking houses caution
ing them, in the handling of foreign
loans, not to state or imply that the
loans were contingent on an express
sion from the department or to refer
in any prospectus or contract to the
attitude of the American government.
Publication of the communication.
1t was explained, was prompted by
the impression given recently by a
New York bank in connection with
the offer of $50.000,000 worth of Ger
man bonds that the transaction had
State Department sanction. The bank
did this inadvertently. il was stated.
and while there is no apparent dis
position on the part of bankers to
disregard the departments request,
the desire still remains that no ref
erence TO it should be made by in
stitutionS contemplating loans.
The fiotation Of foreign bond issues
in the American market" the circular
said, lis assuming an increasing I'M
portance and on account of the bear
Ing of such operations upon the
proper conduct of affairs il is hoped
that American concerns which con-
template making foreign loans will
inform the Department of State in due
time of the essential facts and of
subsequent developments of impor-
tance"
American firms desiring to ascer-
tain the attitude of the department
regarding any projected loan. it was
said. should request an expression of
its views in writing. The department
then would endeavor. IT was stated,
to say whether objection to the loan
existed.
