Referring to the attack on Rep

khan, why did they refuse to consider
a resolution offered to disclose their

AMER|CAFO
.EUROPE'S HAND.
IN PREPARATIONS.
France and Belgium Anx-
ious to Appear in
Good Light.
BRITAIN, ITALY READY
Germany Will Clutch Any
Straw to Save
Herself.
BRITAIN, ITALY READY

London, Oct. 27.-Britain believes
Americas interests may this time
force a reparations settlement. If
anything can drive the proposed con-
ference through the mesh of European
reluctance to relinquish old school
diplomacy, observers here said today,
it would be Europe's eagerness to
court Americas favor.
The great interest which the repa-
.rations conference proposal created,
1t is said, turned Americas spotlight
on Europe, and the European perform
ers will take pains to be seen with
clean hands.
France, and even more so, Belgium,
feels it TO be vital necessity not to
appear in American eyes as stumbling
blocks to any move that will bring
settlement to Europe, it is said.
Britain and Italy Ready.
Great Britain and Italy, whose
agreement with the proposals for Il
conference was announced today, have
been for some time ready for as far
reaching conference as they could
get other European countries to agree
to, it is pointed out.
Germany, in view Of the observers
here, will clutch at any straw, be-
lieying that any economic inyestiga-
ton will confirm her claims that the
war burdens must be lightened.
The eagerness with which America
awaited the news of the reparations
conference proposals and aceeptances
as possible means of restoring or
der out of the chaos in Germany,
therefore, may bring France and Bel
GUM to accept more extensive in
yestigation than they have previously
been willing to do, it is said.
Want Ruhr Evacuated.
Hopes are entertained here that the
scope of the proposed inquiry cannot
hardly be so limited as to blink at
what is believed to be the necessity
for scaling down the total of repara-
tons to be demanded.
The beneficial effects of the confer
ence are expected to be these:
l. Recommendations for scheme
of PREPARATIONS payments that would
not crush Germany.
2. Recommendation as to guaran-
tees that the European governments
might exact from Germany without in
terfering with her capacity to pay.
3. Suggestions of plans for the
evacuation of the Ruhr and possibly
even the Rhineland as early as pos
sible so as to relieve Germany of
the cost of the Allied armies and their
interference with her commerce and
industries.

Strychnine, Boiling
Water and Knife Fail
to Prevent Arrest

Brownsville, Tex, Oct. 81. -
Strychnine, a butcher knife and
boiling water were the weapons
used by two Mexican women,
mother and daughter, to prevent
officers of the sheriff's department
from effecting the arrest of the
latter on the charge of disturbing
the peace.
When the officers first attempt
ed to arrest the young woman last
week, she took a large dose of
strychnine, and her life was saved
through the liberal use of stom.
ach pump. When the officers re-
turned a few days later to make
the arrest they were met at the
door by the mother who attacked
them with boiling water, and this
weapon proving ineffective she
tried a butcher knife.
The knife was finally secured
by the officers and the arrest
made, but they received a few
minor cuts and scalds before com.
plotting their mission.

Berlin, Oct. 27.-Food riots, In
which fifteen persons were killed and
30 wounded, developed in Saxony to-
night shortly after an ultimatum from
the central government had bsen re-
ceived.
Deciding to abandon its indecisive
policy, Berlin tonight demanded OF
the Saxon government that all Com
munist members be eliminated from
Premier Zeigner's cabinet. In event
of failure to comply, the ultimatum
said. the government of the Reich Will
take over thu administration OF the
state.
simultaneously the government sent
a stiff ultimatum to Bavaria, demand
ing that the Bavarian state recognize
the Reich. The immediate re-estab-
lishment of the Reichswehr in Ba'
yaria was ordered.
Scarcely had the ultimatum been re-
ceiyed in Saxony wien German troops
and Saxon civilians clashed at Frei-
burg, q dispatch from that point de-
clared.
Troops Shoot Demonstrators.
Twelve were killed outright and 30
wounded when the soldiers, hurrying
) 70 suppress food riot, fired on the
demonstrators.
The troops marched into the center
of the town, where excitement was al
ready tense with food riots in the lit
tie market place.
Crowds of unemployed workmen
with women and children confronted
the military and refused to disperse.
The order was given to clear the
streets.
Over the heads of the crowd came n
shower of stones on the troops. Then
pistol shots rang out from the crowd
and from behind the corner. The
soldiers fired straight into the crowd.
That cleared the streets of all but
the dead and wounded.
But the crowds returned. Women
joined in throwing stones.
Communists Carry Guns.
Surinkled among the mobs that
pressed closer and closer to the SOL
diers were men believed to be Com
munists, armed with revolvers. AS
| their attack on the building occupied
| By the military grew more and more
serious, the soldiers received orders
to fire again to clear the. streets. An
other three lives were lost as dis
ciplined troops repulsed the wild
crowds.
The presence of federal troops in
the towns, brought there to aid Gen.
eral Mueller in preserving the author
|ity of the central government, caused
unrest in many parts of Saxony, and
more serious trouble is feared.
