TRIES TO
MEDIATE On
RUHR
Little Hope Is Seen for His
Mission in England to
Prevent Break.
BY DAVID M. CHURCH,
International News Service.

LONDON, July 11.-Premier
Benes, of Czechoslovakia, con-
ferred today with Lord Curzon
in a final effort to avert the
threatened rupture between Eng
land and France over the repara-
tions and Ruhr issues.
Benes, leader of the little en-
tente and admitted to be one Of
the ablest statesmen in Europe,
has been in Paris and has con-
suited with French officials on the
questions involved.
While it was considered likely
that he might bring some message
from Paris to the British foreign
secretary. it was not expected that
his mediation will be able to swerve
England from her course at this
late stage of the negotiations.
The British cabinet met again to-
day to put the Finishing touches to
the British plan of reparations set
Element which is to be announced
tomorrow by Premier Stanley Bald.
win.
One of the important features of
this statement, it was learned to-
day, will be to express Great Brit
aims disapproval of Germany's pas.
sive resistance in the Ruhr and a
hint that its continuance is an OBJ
stacle to peace.
The Baldwin statement will be
most diplomatic but firm and will
indicate to France that Englnad de-
mands a settlement of the repara-
tons problem.
A draft of the note that England
plans to send to the allies, iY1vitr
ing their participation in a general
of nations on repara-
tons was expected to be ready for
the cabinets consideration today.

ROW MAY LOSE
CONCESSION To
CHESTER
Canadians and Americans at
Odds. Must Get Together
BY September S.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE 81.
900 100000 Chester concession in
Anatolia, embracing some of the
richest oil and mine lands in the
world, may be lost to it's present
holders unless they settle internal
disputes within a short while.
1t Is understood that the $500.
100000 needed to start the enterprise
by April 80, 1925, as provided last
spring, under the contract with the
Turkish national assembly, has not
yet been raised.
While no definite details were
available today, it was admitted
there is a division of opinion be.
tween Canadian and American in.
terests.
The American interests are head.
ed by Rear Admiral Colby M Ches.
ter, retired, and his sons, Colby M.
Chester, jr., and Commander Arthur
Chester. The Canadian investors
are represented by Major K. T..
Clayton Kennedy.
1t is said that the difference con.
cerned itself not with nationalistic
questions, but with matters Of bust
ness details, the execution Of con.
tracts, payment for services and
allotments of stock.
Frederick S. Blackall, vice presi-
dent and general manager Of the
OttomanAmerican Development
Company, which holds the conces.
sion, said today that "the conces.
sion will fall between two stools
unless the factions can agree" Mr..
Bla ckall is one Of two arbitrators
accepted last month by both sides
TO work out a solution of the pres.
ent dispute.
Acting with him is Rear Admiral
Fl. II. Rousseau, u. S. n. The two
have until September 5 to bring
the warning factions together.
The suggestion that the DISPUTE
was over the question of national
control OF the concession was de-
MED by Mr.. Blackall.
The company is under America n
control" he said. 'and will continue
TO be so under the terms of the

they cannot sell the surplus wheat
they are getting from it.
EurOnean View Limited.

European view Limited.
Does any European statesman
propose to make any special effort
to buy that surplus wheat from us
instead of buying so much wheat
from the Argentine. WHICH was pro-
German? Not at all. The imports
into Europe from the Argentine
keep right on while our American
farmers turn to Magnus Johnson
and to the proposition OF subsidy
for American wheat out Of the
American treasury.
But how are the Europeans 60
ing to weep over Minnesota if they
never heard of Minnesota?
The fact is that we know ten
times or a hundred times as much
about Europe as Europe knows
about us. Europe has a world pol
icy and a provincial view. We have
world view and a provincial pol
icy"
So say our latest survivors of
European travels, and they add:
I'VE talk of charging our policy
Europe, as tested by its newspa-
pers and it's statesmen in their
reportings of America, has no in
tention Of charging its view"

York To Remove
Mountain; Will
Take 10 Years
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

NYACK, N. Y, July IL
Mere man is going to move a
mountain. Not only move it,
but remove it, for Hook. Noun
tain, on the Palisades, towering
above the Hudson river, is to
be blotted out, the stone used
for construction purposes and
the site levelled to make a pub
lie playground. 1t is estimated
it will require ten years to re-
move the ten million cubic feet
of rock from the mountain.
While the removal work will
cost $5,OO0,000, the firm which
does the work will take the stone
in payment.
Hook Mountain was quarried
several years ago, huge scars
being left in the verdure Of that
beautiful region. Later the sur
rounding lands were taken over
by the States Of New York and
New Jersey, to be used as pub
lie parks. The removal of the
mountain has been approved by
the governors of the two States.

HARDING EARS
T|NGLE WITH
ADVICE
AIaskans Give Conflicting
Views as to How Government
Should Administer Territory,
By GEORGE r. HOLMES.
International News Service.

JUNEAU, Alaska, July 11.-Presi-
dent Harding left the Alaskan CAPT
tai today with conflicting advice
ringing in his ears as to what
Alaska really wants. The Presi-
dent spent nearly twenty-four hours
in the capital during which he saw
and conferred with representatives
of various schools of thought and
few of them agree as to the most
advisable method of opening the
territory.
Alaskans generally are looking on
President Harding's visit as an on
portunity to air grievances and
get the ear Of the Chief Executive
and the Cabinet as to remedial
measures, but apparently are di-
Vloed on what is needed.
Two Lines Proposed.
Some prominent Alaskans with
whom the President conferred at
Juneau believed with Secretary Of
the Interior Work that the control
OF the territory should be cen
teral1zed in a single department at
washington. Others equally repre-
sentative, believe with Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace that all that Is
needed Is for the departments now
controlling the territory's affairs
to be faster in handling it's bust
ness.
Instead of going to Seward Ii
rect from Juneau, President Hard
Ing decided to put in at Skagway
en- route. The transport Henderson
probably will arrive at Skagway by
mid-afternoon. The trip to Seward
Is three days voyage. Barring
further changes in program, the
President is expected to reach Sc
ward early Saturday, and take the
Government railway to Fairbanks,
a two-day journey.
Entertained Lavishly.
Present plans call for a trip from
Fairbanks to Cordova over the
Richardson trail via Ford cars. Or
dinarily in good weather, the trip
requires three days of motoring.
But if it rains. the party is likely
to be mired down at some road
house for days. President Harding
was undecided today about motor
trip, an probably won't make
decision until he reaches Fairbanks.
The Juneauans outdid themselves
in entertaining President Harding
and his official party. They pre-
sented both with numerous sits
commemorative Of the visit and de-
spite continuous rain the entertain
ment was really remarkable. Presi-
dent Harding saw everything from
gold mines to glaciers and his re-
ception eliminated last night with
a grand ball at Governor Bone s
mansion in which the elite of Alas
kan society and business were rep
resented.

TREASURY
SEES No
LET-UP
Auto Sales Three Billions in
Past Eleven NOTWITHSTANDING
ers Are Buying Freely.
By w. H. ATKINS,
International News Service.

Americans hung up a new rec
ord for free spending, especially
for luxuries during the past year,
the Internal Revenue Bureau said
today. The bureaus records,
classifying receipts for the eleven
months ended May 81, latest data
available from collectors, showed
tremendous increases in business
by manufacturers and merchants.
No Let-Up Seen.
These figures, linked with those
of the Federal Reserve Board and
the Commerce Department, revealed
that the past years business was
one of the best in history, not even
excepting the war years. The
Revenue Bureau catalogued only
certain groups Of more favored
luxuries that are taxable. But
these gave clear reflection Of the
buying power which has been con-
etantly in evidence, and up to the
present time shows no signs Of
diminishing.
Treasury officials cited reports
showing $12s,Ooo,O00 paid to the
Government in taxes on sales of
automobiles and accessories. This
was an increase Of SIS, zoo, 900 over
last year. Automobile taxes col
lected represented sales of nearly
$4,000, 100000 by the automobile
trade. Taxes from this source In
the spring and summer months
have almost doubled figures for
the corresponding periods a year
ago.
Luxury Sales Set Record.
More money is being spent for
candy. jewelry, for cameras, cigars
and cigarettes, and a lengthy list
OF so-called nonessentials than has
been reported in the history of the
Revenue Bureau. Officials said
this indicates that money is plen-
tjful. Free spending is general over
the entire country. The farmers
are buying more generously than
ever before.
In the large cities business keeps
up at a high level But in the
rural districts, where farmers have
become better Stabilized after liuui-
dating obligations of former years,
orders for luxuries as we'll as home
and farm necessities are pouring
into mercantile establishments.
Government records offer sub
stantial proof of the fact that
the farmers. as a class, are the
harvest spenders in the country.
The city merchants are now feeling
the effect of the farmers better
credit position. Mail order houses
report heavy business. and the re-
tail and wholesale trade give SINH
lar reports.
Government business observers
are convinced that the present era
OF prosperity gives no indication of
abating. but there is every reason
for belief, they assert, that Ameri-
can business will continue at it's
present pace.

Those in the rear cars of the

along the tracks to the station

Injured were treated by annbu-

Screams of women passengers,

hold the onlookers in check.
