1t is not proposed to be content
with a formal appeal TO patriotism;
all foreign moneys will be gathered
In without much formallty. the own
crs being reimbursed with paper
marks. The fund thus obtained will
! be devoted in part to an effort to
regulate the internal financial chaos
which is causing unwarranted adj
Vanccs in prices of food commodi-
ties and also to establish a steady
reserve from which food purchases
may be made. The governments
money draft ordinance will be pub
lished publicly throughout Germany
Friday.
The ordinance provides excessive
money fines and the confiscation of
private fortunes for the wilful con-
cealment of possession of foreign
currencics. and demands voluntary
declaration of such possession on
the part of owners.
The extent to which holdings will
be requisitioned depends on whether
or not the holder needs them for ie-
Ultimate business purposes.
The government expects to real
ize between 200,000,000 and 100000
600 gold marks from the initial raid
and expects that the impending &C
ton will stimulate a desire TO invest
foreign currcnCies in the new internal
gold loan. in preference to having
them confiscated and replaced with
paper marks.

No direct message came either
from the United States Coal Com

wage scale negotiations were renew
cd this week after a previous sus-
pension, or from any other source.

employers attitude of refusing wage
increases but offering arbitration of

We are standing on that" he
added, but there isn't any false
pride on our part; we don't hesitate
to ask the miners spokesman to
come back into another conference,

| A band of newspaper men char

harbor for the rest of the tale that
had come haltingly from the lips of
the two wounded men now lying in a

, story; it was whipped to them by

P0|NCARE STAND
ON PREPARATIONS IS
PLEASING TO FRENCH

Paris. Aug. 22.--CBy A. P.)-Premier
Poincare's reply to Marquis Curzons
PREPARATION note seems to suit the
French press and to strike a popula r
chord in public opinion. Few members
of parliament are now in Paris, most
OF them being occupied in meetings
of the general councils of the various
departments, but those who were in
the Hobbies Of the chamber this after
noon united in approving the premier s
stand.
The part of the note that appealed
most to the political leaders was that
IN which NJ. POincare asked Lord Cur
ION whether France should be treated
by her allies more severely than Great
Britain wanted to treat Germany, their
former common enemy.
Great stress was also laid on the as
sertlon that. if British theory pre-
vailed. the Germans would emerge from
the calamity of their own making with
no interior debt and a foreign debt of
only oo.0o0. 100000 marks. with an an
nual interest charge much less than
that France is obliged to bear. At the
same time, it was declared Germany
had been profting from the stoppage
OF work III the Ruhr by putting her in
dustries in such shape that. when a
settlement was finally reported. she
would be able to compete more sharply
than ever with those countries which
suffered damage at her hands.
Comment in official quarters indi-
Gates plainly that Premier Poincare
| anticipates continuation of the dis
| cussion with the British cabinet. In
political circles outside the govern
ment there is so much confidence
that London will desire to go on with
| the discussion, but nowhere in the
public or in the press does there ap-
pear any great apprehension as to
the consequences of eventual separate
| action by the British government.
American participation in any in
ternational expert conference to fix
Germany's capacity to pay is regard
ed as altogether unlikely and it is not
| thought the British will desire to take
the risk of proposing reference of the
Ruhr occupation question to the In
ternational Court at the Hague, in
| the face of Frances refusal to accept
the jurisdiction Of the court in this
question.

London Silent on
Text P0incare Reply
to Lord CurZOn Note

London, Aug. 22-(By A. Ply
London in August is comparatively
dead politically and AUTOMATICALLY.
Hence it is difficult to gather any
official opinion on the latest note Of
NJ. Poincare. the French premier,
with regard to the German situa-
ton. A point much discussed in
London this evening is whether the
note will lead to another allied con-
ference in Paris or elsewhere in an
endeavor finally to settle the repara-
tions problem.
The general view here is that this
was one of the principal objects OF NJ.
Poincare was aiming a. in his EXPOSE
tions of Frances policy. but in this
connection 1t was pointed out that
Premier Baldwin in recent state
mcnts in parliament and elsewhere,
made the assertion that the British
government was not in a mood for
much further delay in settling the is
sue.
John r. Clynes. former food con-
troller and one of the leading labor
members of parliament, tonight ex-
pressed the opinion that, taken as a
test of Frances desire to get a repa-
rations settlement instead of perma-
nent dominion over a large part OF
~SiAA -A' L OillSeAAS hOhS
was disappointing.
There was a general admission to-
night that the tone of NJ. Poincare's
note was much more concilatory than
had been expected and that, he
showed in 1t anxiety to maintain the
entente unbroken. But as far as, the
substance of the note was concerned.
and especially with regard to the
Ruhr. his attitude was unyielding.
Unless the British. government
should accept a suggestion for an
other allied conference, it sees that
the negotiations will continue, de-
spite Premier Baldwin's recent state
ment deprecating indefinite discus
sion, for it Is considered that the
Poincare note is clearly Of kind
calling for. q reininder
