Germans Plan New Offer
By Associated Press.

Essen, May 20. In authoritative
German quarters it was declared
that the French and Beigians by no
means have reached the preoecupa-
from the Ruhr. as claimed by Premier
Poincare. 1t was admitted, however,
that the first fortnight of May saw an
average daily export of 900 carloads.
Shipments reached as high as 757
carloads on May 3, but dropped to
1876 the next day because of bridge
distinctions. By May 10 traffic had
been sufficiently restored to send out
42S carloads
During April, 9,445 oarlodas were ex-
ported by way of the Rhine bridge at
Duisburg. compared with 1910 in
March. One hundred bargeoads also
were exported in April.
The Germans attribute the great in
crease over the previous month main
ly to the fact that ~ mines were
under occupation in the Ruhr in
April against 10 in March.

Although the details of the forth

or discussed, 1t appears that the pow

ed in convincing Chancellor cuno
and Foreign Minister Rosenburg OF
the futility of speculating upon an in
ternational loan as basis for repara-
ton.

ed as a giant hypothecation of all the

Chancellor Cuno and his cabinet are
devoting the Whitsuntide holidays TO
an examination of the basic features
of the scheme. but are not expected
to reach a definite conclusion before
the end of next week.
1t appears, however, that the gov
ernment has permanently jettisoned its
hopes of obtaining a hearing among
the creditor powers, especially France,
for any reparation plan based upon an
intangible loan and 1t is believed that
the proposals as outlined above sug
gest a more promising solution.

BY tniNersal service
Washington. May 20.-This govern
ment is on the point of making a flat
demand upon the Pekin government
for immediate action TO rescue the
Americans who are among the cap
tives held by the Chinese bandits.
Latest developments in the situa-
ton reaching here in press dispatches
reveal that five of the captives have
been shot to death and the bandits
have threatened to slay two Ameri.
cans and two Britons unless the ram
som demanded for their release is
Immediately paid.
The State department is awaiting
official confirmation of this report
from Minister Schurman. A cable
gram from him is expected to reach
the department in the morning.
Prepare For Action.
Meanwhile 1t is known that steps
already have been taken to bring
about action by this government the
moment it becomes apparent that
stern measures must be taken to force
the Pegin government to effect rescue
of the captives.
Secretary Hughes has conferred
with heads of the War and Navy de-
partments to consider what is to be
done in the event some form of inter-
vention should become necessary.
A line of military action has been
formulated it is understood. and Of
ficials of the three departments are
merely waiting TO see what the Pekin
government will do 10 extricate it.
self from the position in which it has
been placed by the bandits demand.
Impatient at Delay.
A feeling of impatience over the de-
lay Of the Pekin authorities prevails in
departments here, and among some OF
ficials this amounts almost to ex-
asperation because Of the long delay
which has ensued since the victims
were taken.
Considerable concern for the two
American army officers held by the
bandits, Majors Roland Pinger and
Robert Allen, was felt here In connec-
ton with the report that the lives OF
two Americans are in the balance.
Fears were expressed by army Of
flcials that the two officers may be
the ones the bandits have in mind for
execution for the heason that they are
the only ones who have official stand
ing with this government. The
bandits may believe execution Of the
officers might hasten payment of the
ransom.

BUSINESS MARKETING OF HAY

Through the injection of certitude and character into the marketing of their product the two hundred Plack Belt members of the Alabama Farm Bureau Hay Association last season averaged $2.30 per bale more for their hay than in the past five years. Rules governing the marketing of the nay were these: Cutting at the right time, baling in uniform bales, rigid grading and ironclad requirement. that each bale in the car should come up to standard. The business for the season approximated $250,000, mar, kets were extended, and the product gained favor where it had been held in light esteem before Birmingham was the largest consumer, but much Of tie product was sold to Atlanta, Jackson vile, Columbus and other cites. The marketing of Johnson grass, alfalfa and mixed hays was placed on a busi- ness base. The results were economy of disposal, a steadier demand for the product this season, and the establish ment of that prestige in it's own terri tory that the quality of the Alabama product has always deserved, but which was denied because the pur- chaser did not know what he was get ting when he bought carload of un- graded, unstandardized and mixed hays. Alabama's hay crop is one of it's major farm yields and proper sales noapship has begun to win for it the markets that were denied only because the markets were not properly catered to. Birmingham and other Southerr. consuming centers will continue talk ing more and more native hays as they are thus marketed.

escape the penalty for crossing acci- dents, such a law would encourage de- lay in the abolition of grade crossings instead of hastening it. In trial for damages claimed of a railroad for death or injury at grade crossing the first effort of the defense would be to show that the automobile figur- ing in the crash had not stopped be- fore attempting the crossing, and there would be supreme effort on the part of the railroad special agents to show this to have been the case.
 The railroads maintain the menace of the grade crossing and it should not be made easy for them to escape pen alties for injury and death occasioned by these crossings. The Long Island Railroad takes the right view of its obligations. It is now removing ten grade crossings at a cost of 1,0O0,000 and in the past twenty-three years has eliminated three hundred at a cost of S20,000,000. This is in contrast with the mistaken policy of some other railroads in delaying grade-crossing abolition and contenting themselves with warnings to aut9mobiIists to ex- ercise caution. Near Buffalo, New York, Sunday eight persons were killed and five were injured at a grade crossing. Five were killed a day or so ago at Oakland, California, and five were killed and many injured at Girard, Illinois. This toll will be taken as long as the grade crossings exist. Their removal is the only remedy.

some cooperation by America, even though it be founded partially upon selfish considerations, usually touches off his combustible impulses, and he loses no opportunity to reiterate his views in stentorian tones with ges- lures to match. The impression ap- pears to be gathering strength that the Californian has not been a dis ciple of the political expediency school all these years without learning some thing of the art.
 One editor of newspaper pub lished in state that thrfves chiefly on fruit production thinks he knows just about how it is; for he calls at tention to the fact that Senator John son is pretty safely entrenched in pub lie office in California, and that state does very little foreign exporting, but prospers from perishable fruits mar keted in America. The inference is that if Senator Johnson should fail to become president-which is generally conceded by observant people-he need not worry about being out of office. That being the case, his sin cerity need not be put to a practical test, though Americas loss of export business should become even more alarming.
