The advices also confirmed
earlier reports of the submer-

Japan's most beautiful spots.
This island, the message said,

FRANCE WILLING
FOR ECONOMIC PACT
WITH GERMANY

Paris, Sept. 3.-(Ry A. P)-Tho
speech of Chancellor Stresemann Of
Germany at Stuttgart yesterday, de-
claring that Germany which was al
lied economically with France would
, afford greater guarantee for peace
was received with greatest interest in
French official circles. Premier Pom
care read the text of the chancelIor's
address most carefully and will reply
! in public on the first occasion offered.
when it is understood he will say that
France is quite ready to enter into an
economic arrangement with her former
enemy
He will declare. however. that under
! no conditions will France allow the
question of an economic accord to be
substituted for that of the payment
! of PREPARATIONS. Once France is assured
that rcparation will he forthcoming.
| then an economic agreement will be
welcomed.
One of the highest officials Of the
French government today declared
that France was entirely willing to en-
ter into arrangements whereby Ger
! many could get the iron ore She needs
in exchange for the coal and coke
France requires.
This official said any negotiations
for an economic accord before the rep
aration question was settled would be
puttinG tho cert before the horse. and
that in such case France would be
giving an advantage to Germany with
out sufficient consideration.
1t is pointed out that Premier Pom
care some time ago announced to meet
Germany's leading manufacturers in
company with the late German Am
haSSador Meyer to talk over the noSsi-
hility of such an accord. on condition
that the manufacturers undertook to
promote a proper effort on the part Of
Germany to execute the provisions of
the Versailles treaty. The fact that
the Germans did not take advantage Of
this offer was looked upon here as evil
dence that they only desired to gain
the advantage acCrung from a supply
of ore without undertaking to carry
out their own obligations.
Premier Poincare now is satisfied
that Chancellor Stresemann is animat-
Cd by the best will to reach a reason
able accord on separations. but it Is
doubted at the foreign office whether
his government is strong enough to
cope with the resistance of the indus
trial magnates and nationalists who
are held in France to be represented
for the German resistance to the
treaty.
Parts of the chanccllor's speech are
interpreted as cautious steps toward
ultimate announcement of the end of
passive resistance in the Ruhr. 1t is
known that Premier Poincare is dis
posed to make it as easy as possible
for DR.. StreSemann to breach the SUBJ

STEAMER CITY ROCKLAND
A WRECK OFF KENNEBEC-
PASSENGERS and CREW SAFE
CHICAGO TO GET
G. O. CONVENTION
WORD OF UPHAM

New York. Sept. 3.-(By A. P.)-
Frederick w. Upham, treasurer of
the National Republican Committee,
returning today on the Leviathan
frcm trip abroad, said there was
no question but that Chicago would
be the scene of the 1924 Republican
convention. a majority of the men,
bers of the committee had expressed
themselves in favor of Chicago, he
said.
San Francisco. which Mr.. Upham
said had q powerful bid" for the
convention, wouldn't have a chance"
he declared, unless President Cool
idge expressed a desire to have the
session held elsewhere than at Chi
cago."
He predicted that President Cool
idge would be nomina ted in 1924 to
succeed himself eff he has a chance
in the meantime to demonstrate his
ability and if he chooses to be a
candidate" After him Mr.. Upham be-
: lieved the most formidable candi-
dates would be Senator Robert NJ.
Lafollctte of Wisconsin, who will
come into the convention with Wis
consin, Minnesota. Michigan, the
Dakotas and part of Iowa solidly for
him; Senator Hiram Johnson of
California, who also has a strong
following. and Ex-Governor Frank
Lowden of Illinois, who occupies con-
tinuously the position of the pale
horse" to the G.. o. ?.
But President Coolidge. if he
seeks the nomination, will be in the
position of pale horse because he
will so into the convention as the
reigning head of his party" Mr.. Up
ham continued.
"As for the Democratic nomina-
ton, l have it from responsible
members of the Democratic National
Committee that Senator Samuel L.
RalstOn of Indiana already has been
picked to run"
The coal strike may make or mar
President Coolidge's chances for
nomination next year, Mr.. Upham
believed He has 80 many hurdles
to negotiate between now and next
June. HE hasn't demonstrated what
he can do or will do. The big ques
ton before the party is How will
Coolidge perform?'" said the COM
mittee treasurer.
Among other things, he said the
party gradually was liquidating the
deficit of two to three million dollars
it accumulated during the Harding
campaign land the joke of it is,
Harding would have been elected if
we hadn't spent sos Mr.. Upham had
found 1t easier to get party con-
tributions in lean years than in
years Of national prosperity and
hoped there wouldn't he another
landslide in 1924" but "a real fight
that would make the leaders realize
their responsibilities to tend to their
knitting"

making good" and if he does not
get too ambitiOus' and run to
soon" he may some day be Presi-
dent.

London, Sept. 3-(By A. P)-Italy
Is holding Corfu, which commands
the Adriatic, as a pledge for Greek
reparations and is waiting grimly for
Greece to comply with her ultimatum.
Greece having appealed to the
League of Nations is also waiting,
and Italy thus far has ignored the
protest Of the council of amba ssadors
against her action in Selling Corfu.
The Greek legation here made pub
lie the text Of the Greek reply to the
ambassadors council, proposing the
appointment by the council of
commission consisting of three MEM
bers for an inquiry into all the cir
cumstances of the Janina crime, and
declaring readiness, If Greece Is
found in any way responsible, to
grant all reparatons decided upon by
such commission. The reply re-
quests the intervention of the coun-
Gil with Italy.
The prospects Of an early settle
ment are not improved The Italian
government takes the stand that 1t
did not sign the treaty of 1864, which
confirmed the neutrality Of Corfu,
and is therefore not bound by the
theaty. Further, Premier Mussolini
has instructed the Italian represen-
tatives at Geneva to abstain from
further discussion of the affair, and
the only hopeful aspect is that Italy
seems disposed to have the court or
interna tional justice pronounce on
the leagues competency to deal with
such an international dispute.
The British government is stlll
firmly supporting the view that the
dispute is eminently one for the
League Of Nations and regards the
whole question as sub JUDGE, pend
ing the leagues decision. In the
event of the league council abstain :
ing from intervention, it is stated
that the Scandinavian delegates are
resolved to withdraw from the
league, as did Argentina in 1920.
Great dependency prevails in Ath-
ent, where the fact that Italy was
able to quickly land $4,000 men IN
Corfu is considered proof of Mus
solinis determination. The occupa-
ton Of Corfu seems to be complete
and the Italians have thoroughly or
ganized the place as though Tor a
long stay.

NO TRACE HEAD OF
BODY YOUNG WOMAN
FOUND IN MERRIMACK

Tyngsboro, Mass, Sept. 3.-Balked
by a total absence of clues to the
identity of the young woman whose
dismcmbered body was found float
ing in the Merrimac river in two
suitcases on Saturday and Sunday,
the police have made an appeal to
persons living in neighboring New
Hampshire and Massachusetts towns
to assist in the search and to give
any information they possess re-
garding missing persons. Police con-
tinued to drag the river today in
search of the head but without re-
suit.
Assistant District Attorney Gardi-
ner w. Pearson of Middlesex county
in a statement issued tonight, point
ed the possibility that the head may
have floated back stream into New
Hampshire owing to the low water
and the draining of canals which
has converted the stream into pond
and has caused a baCktloW during
Sunday and Monday. He gave it as
his opinion that the SultcaSeS were
placed in the water by persons liv-
ing above Tyngsboro. declaring that
if murder was committed. it prob
ably occurred in New Hampshire
Persons would be unlikely to trans
port the body up stream to dispose
of it, he said, and asserted that it
was therefore unlikely that Lowell
residents were involved.
The point where the first suitcase
was found is only two miles tsom
the New Hampshire line. The az
sistant district attorney appealed to
citizens to aid the police by report
ing possible clues and to watch for
a third suitcase which might contain
the woman'S head.
