NEW GERMAN CABINET
MAN CAUSE SETTLEMENT

BERLIN, Aug. IA (By The AS
ISOLATED Press)-Diplomatic circles
here believe the advent of Chan
cellor Stresemann's Bourgeois-So-
cia.istic cabinet presages an early
effort to find a solution to the Ruhr
crisis.
The political makeup of the new
cabinet is thought to reflect a de-
sire on the part of both the indus
trial and the socialists to discover
a formula which would enable Ger
| many to the initiative with
out prejudicing her attitude on pas
sive resistance.
Chancellor Stresemann's position
with respect to the Ruhr varies
slightly from that taken by his pre-
decessor in that it is believed the
new chancellor, as well as the social
istic members of his cabinet, would
consent to the abandonment of pas
sive resistance if the present occu-
patton We're heduced by a progress
sive process or made invisible" and
if the French and Belgians would
restore to Germany her complete
jurisdiction and sovereign rights in
the disputed areas.
Among all the parties represent
ed in the new ministry there appears
to be a conviction that Germany
must see some sort of truce with
Poincare and that the hope of me-
diation or intervention from other
quarters is futile in view of the
present Anglo-French impasse.
"Of what avail is a friend across
the cahnnel or the sea when we are
up against a cantankerouS leader.
bor?" exclaimed one socialist leader.

that forty-ive less farmers are COM
ing to the market this season would
seem to indicate that the farmer who
has been coming to the market since
1903 to dispose of his products is
being driven away through the &C.
.~tivities of the hucksters, which the
farmers claim is unfair competition.
The reason for the falling off in
the number of farmers coming to
the market has been given as prob
ably due to the dry season which has
kept the crops down considerably.
This however does not seem to hold
up as a survey made of the truck
farming district in Monmouth county
shows that eve though crops may
not have been as great as in past
years. a large quantity of produce
is being shipped from the farms to
the various markets each day.
