REIENISH INDEPENDENCE
CANNOT BE ATTRIBUTED
TO WORK OF FRENCHMEN
Accusations Without Foundation,
Correspondent Says-Stresemann Scored for Mis-
management of Ruhr Affairs-People Ready to
Receive Food From Anyone Who Will Offer It,

for Tie fact that all German attempts
at negotiation failed.
The Reichswenr general, Won Los
SOW, known as favorit' the former
kaiser, and friend of Enver Pasha.
has broken the oath of fealty and
gone over with the whole of his divi-
sion of the service to the Bavarian
government.
But even in this crisis, the Strese-
man cabinet could find nothing better
to dc than issue proclamation ut
lacking the French will to DESTROY"
That an understanding il nearer,
however, is shown by the humane, even
if unstatesmanlike, speech OF General
SHUTS at Londol. The main pur-
pose was to inspire in Germany new
hopes of American and British help
and thus keep her from a sacrificial
separate agreement with France, at
the same time making the British EN-
pire arbiter in Elrope-a place to
which II has no natural right and
from which neither the old world nor
the new can CLEAN any advantage. But
these big problems do not awaken
the slightest echo here.
The conflict with Bavaria Is to be
patched IN in the most humiliating
manner and Won Lossow remains Ba-
varian commander. The executive
power of ali Germany is in the hands
Of imperial generals.
Socialists Make Demand.
The Berlin socialists have demanded
withdrawal of their colleagues from
the great coalition whose government
has exhibited itself as hopelessly in
competent. Industrial stagnation and
hunger can at any time cause the
secession of the whole Ruhr and
Rhineland, which now Is charged up
against he French.
And all this causes not the slight
est interest among the people!
Despite good harvests. the people
in the cities hunger, while the farm
er's barns are jammed full. Bread
can hardly be secured. But the short
sighted government has not even de-
cided to forbid cake baking.
Hundreds of thousands jam places of
amusement, while millions sit in the
darkness around cold stoves becau G
fuel and light are so dear. They face
the loss of their jobs and tremble when
theJ contemplate he probability of be-
ing driven to beggnry in the winter.
Whoever gives them bread will be
elcomed--whether he be Mussolini

bach. Democracy, parliamentarism

Lloyd-George who is hunting Premier
Poincire's scalp in America, errs when

A few days later he announced that
Germany could not pay the Ruhr anG

Violation OF Promise.
But since only resumption of work

this meant. as very just person must

MUCH GAME LOST IN FOREST
FIRES

State Game Warden f. Lee lie
Compile declared last week that he
was afraid hundreds of young game
birds and young animals had perished
in the various forest fires which have
been sweeping over the forests of the
state.
A striking instance of the jeopardy
to which game is exposed in forest
fires was related to Mr.. lie Compile by
Swepson Earle, consulting engineer of
Earle said that during recent forest
fire near Roland Park section, Balti-
more, he saw a rabbit run right thro
the flames to make it's escape.
Mr.. lie Compile explained that the
older birds and animals can usually
take care of themselves, but that the
damage is done where nests with
young birds and eggs are destroyed,
while young rabbits are literally roast
ed alive in their burrows. The moth
er rabbits, he said, are very often
trapped this way and are killed by
heat from the flames.

SNOW IN MIDWEST
HOT ON COAST

Chicago, May 8.-With straw hats
and May snowstorm engaging in a
merry duel in the Lake Region, and
with thermometers in Death Valley,
Cal, registering 1876 degrees in the
shade, the United States was given
plenty of contrast in the way of wealth
er today. While heat records were
being smashed in California, long
standing marks for May snowstorms
went by the board in the Middle West
Some celestial meddler tinkered with
the wrong switches and levers back of
stage in the heavens and the snow
which fell over the Great Lakes re-
gion was accompanied by 37-degree
drop in temperature in Is hours.
The snowfall, for four minutes be-
ginning at $50 o'clock, was announc-
ed officially by the Chicago office of
the Federal Weather Bureau. Tie
forenoon's minimum temperature was
attained at that hour 40 degrees
The maximum yesterday was II de-
grees at P. M. A chill rain begin
ming at dawn continued after the
snowfall.
Snow was reported in Des Moines
Iowa. Superior, Wis, reported "a
heavy snow with severe gale blow
| ing and the temperature below freeZ-
ing"
Weather records of 40 years for
early May were broken when the tenn
perature reached 1O1 degrees yester-
day at San Bernardo, Cal.
Snow at Grand Forke, N. D., last
night was accompanied by sharp
drop in temperature.
Snow fiurries were general through
Indiana today. A number of auto
mobile race drivers who arrived at
the Indianapolis motor speedway from
California wearing straw hats hur-
ried to the city for more seasonable
| attire
There were snow furries in st.
Louis today, the second recorded there
in May since that weather bureau was
established SO years ago. There was
a 20-minute snowfall at Hannibal, Mo-,
with "heavy to killing frost" fore
cast there for tonight.
The May blizzard was reported from
Ashland, Wis, to be making naviga-
tion difficult on Lake Superior.
Freezing temperatures with killing
frosts were predicted for Iowa to-
night by the State weather crop SER

out their smudge-pots and truck farm

395,962 FORDS DELIVERED II
U. S. IN FIRST QUARTER

Sales of Ford Cars and Trucks in
the United States alone for the first
quarter of 1923 reached the enor-
nous total of 395,962, the greatest
sales record in the history of the Ford
Motor Company for similar period
of months. This is an increase of 1876
per cent over the same months last
year when Ford retail deliveries total
ed 168,5OO
Even these stupendous figures do
not indicate the number of sales which
could have been made had production
facilities been greater. Every month
dealer requirements have been far in
excess of the company's manufactur-
ing ability. For May dealers orders
reached the enormous figure of 300,-
900 Ford cars and trucks.
Following the expenditure of mil
lions of dollars for new machinery,
expansion of manufacturing units and
enlargement of assembly plants, nee
essary to maintain the exacting high
standard of Ford manufacture, pro-
duction has been gradually increased
since the first of the year until at
present the company is operating on a
schedule in excess of $500 completed
cars and trucks day.
While reservations now are being
put on early predictions that this year
would see 100000 cars and trucks
produced in the United States, increas-
ing demand for Ford products will, all
indications are, keep production at
capacity rate for the remainder of the
year, bringing it we'll over the million
and a half mark by January 1 next,
maintaining the established Ford per-
.centage of producing as many cars and
trucks as all other manufacturers
combined.
