IS SHOTS FIRED AT RUM SMUGGLER FAIL TO HALT HER
Captain DefieS Shells Cf Coast Guard Cutter And
 Escapes

HIGHLANDS. N. J., July S.-(By Associated Press.) )-Fifteen solid shots were fired from a coast guard cutter at a speedy rum runner to- night after her crew had been aboard a French ship on rum row enjoying a Sunday afternoon social chat with the skipper. The run 'ner escaped ,as did another that had taken on a cargo of liquor for the shore.
 The captain of the rum smuggling craft paid no heed to shot fired across his bow and managed to out distance the government cutter, al though shells dropped near enough to his boat to send spray over her deck The first runner eluded the cutter before any shots had been fired at her. So close was the cutter to the rum boat at one time that the formers crew could hear the curses of the bootlegging captain as he defied their shells and ordered full speed ahead. The runner dis appeared after reaching the shore near Highlands.

OIL POTENTATE, 84, .SPRY AS Y0UNGSTER
John D.'s M. D.'s Have Better Scheme Than Those Of King David
 By HARLAN S. MILLER


 POCANTICO HILLS, N. Y, July B. Apparently John D. Rockefeller's s physicians have hit upon better scheme than did old King DaVid's for conserving his energies in his old age. ~
 At least, so it seemed as the little potentate of the old world sat Sun day, on his eighty-fourth birthday, with all the alertness of man in his prime, listening to sermon by young preacher who was college student last month.
 When King David grew so aged that coverlets would no longer warm him, and open hearth fires sent shiVers up his spine, the medicine men of Judea, crafty crew. tried device after device to keep him in a glow of warmth. Plan after plan failed.
 As a last resort, an old physician was consulted who had been some thing of rounder in his youth, with frequent visits to Babylon and Alex andria.
 Let the cold old king sit in the lap of a lovely woman," he coun- seled. If that won't keep him warm, nothing will"
 This plan worked. but it played havoc with King DaviTs reputation around the court, reputation al- ready little seand4nzed bS certain episode while the young officers of his court were away at the front. RockefellerS doctors have gone the NJ. DIS of Judea one better in a perfectly respectable way. They have prescribed no biblical chaise tongue for him; instead, they have sur rounded him with a group of con genial fellows, men who admire him sincerely and are not averse to tell ing him so. Coupled with an alert watch on his diet and exercise and constant medical supervision, they expect this plan will keep him warm with life until he reaches a hundred.

B. Null, lost when their balloon, the U. $. naval No. A-669S, fell. The fly ing boat virtually covered all that part of the lake where it was be- lieved the missing airmen and the basket of their balloon might be.
 The navy aviation service has not yet given up hope that the two bal loonists may be found alive, accord ing to Charles F. Redden, president of the Airways company.
 Entries in the log of the balloon, the bag of which was picked up off Port Stanley, Ont, yesterday, led to the belief they had cut the basket loose and might yet be floating some where on the lake. MT. Redden said he was advised by the navy air serv- ice. The basket Is known to have been equipped with buoyancy devices that would keep 1t afloat for some time

Germans Say France
 Wasting Preparations

BERLIN, July S-An official statis- tical statement of the finance minis try, charges that France is wasting the reparations gold already paid, for occupation purposes in building up "a military camp" behind whicn French imperialism seeks to hide evil annexation plans and attempts to create a situation justifying her procedure"
 The document, which is entitled Insanity of the Occupation Costs" disagrees with the reparation com missions estimate of about S,000,- 600, 900 gold marks paid" to the end of last year, and claims instead that Germany's total deliveries were 46,- 900, 100000 gold marks or about ten billion dollars.
 That portion of separations which the separations commission charges to Frances account is chiefly con sumed in the enormous costs Of the occupation of the Ruhr" the docum ent states. Little of this sum remai ined for actual reconstruction purposes. When will the world take a stand against such insanity and root it out?"
 It charges that France has Vio- lated the agreement made between Clemencau, Woodrow Wilson and Lloyd George for 240,000,000 gold marks for annual occupation costs and also for subsequent agreements ts by deyotiong huge sums to the build ing up of military establishments.

 Seen By Officials

ROME. July 8.-New Italian par ticipation In the reparations muddle is seen In Sundays conference be- tween German Ambassador Neurath and Senator Contrarini, general sec retary of the foreign office.
 The semi official newspaper Mes sagero" points out that the Angio- Italian press is under the wrong i'm presSion in believing that Italy is leaning toward the British viewpoint on the Ruh-, and that the French press errs similarly in thinking that Italy is favorable to France and Bel Eium.
 It declares that the Italian policy diss gre markedly with both Eng land ad France fa regard to ahe proper treatment of germany.

 If Italy and England agree re- garding the necessity of diplomatic action for the restoration of nor malcy to the Ruhr, it does not mean that they have reached an identity of opinion regarding debt settlement, which Mussolini holds is the heart of the matter.
