GERMANY TO GET NO CONCESSIONS, POINCARE SAYS
Must Not Try To Make Ruhr Collapse A Means Of
 Driving Bargain

PARIS, Sept. 2S-(By Associated Press.)-Premier Poincare made three speeches today-at Champe- noux, Toul and Bois Le Pretre-in none of which did he make even the most distant reference to the visit of Stanley Baldwin, the British prime minister, to Paris. The speeches might have been. in fact, most proba- bly, were, written before that event
 The point M. Poincare sought to make clear today was that Germany must not expect to be able to make the collapse of passive resistance in the Ruhr a means for driving a bar gain with France, or obtaining a con- cession.
 Inaugurating 8 monument to the war dead at Champenoux, in the cen- ter of the World war battle line on Grand Couronne height, Premier Poincare said that such ceremonies as those being held were not intended merely to Rlorify the heroism of those who fell in the cause of justice and liberty. He expressed surprise that Germany was forgetting the generosity of the victims in signing the armistice when the victors were on the point of invading German ter ritory and destroying the last divi- sions of the German armies.
 There are many today across the Rhine." said M. Poincare, who are blind or deaf to their situation. They are leading Germany toward new catastrophes and foolishly expending, in revolt against the treaty that has been signed, resources which might be used to execute it."

 Host Of Other Recommendations.
 A host of other recommendations are made by the commission, includ- ing:
 I. An excess profits tax on an- thracite coal.
 2. Licensing of coal shipments in interstate commerce.
 3. Readjustment of coal freight rates.
 4, Revision of the entire wage scale, upward in some cases, down.
 5. Amendments of leasing law to give secretary of the interior full power to grant opening of new mines, after hearings by the inter- state commerce commission.
 6. Creation of an agency to study UT employment.
 T. Rigid enforcement through bureau of mines of safety reguia- tions.
 8. Consolidation, grouping and pooling of bituminous mining opera tions.
 In recommending reform of the in- dustry from within, the commission calls attention to the recent British wage agreement which provides that miners and owners share profits in defined proportions, It also recon mends improvement of living condi- tions.
 o 0 O Storage Of Coal Urged.
 On the part of the consumer, 1t urges storage of coal as a balance wheel between fluctuating consum- tion and variable productions, and better utilization of coal to prevent waste.
 Food and water alone outrank coal among the necessities of life, the coal commission states in drawing a pie ture of the intricate part that fuel plays in the nations life.
 Of 4S articles of food, from meat to fruit, the only ones into the produc- tion of which coal does not enter, are strictly fresh" eggs and fresh milk.

Fantastic Figures On
 Teuton Finances Given

WASHINGTON, Sept 23.-(By As sociated Press. .)-Fantastic figures in Germany's financial plight were given in cables today to the com merce department from Charles E. Herring, American commercial at tache at Berlin. His reports also have details of German embargo, effective September 27, on foodstuffs. indispensable raw materials. and manufactures.
 "The critical state of German pub lie finances" said MT. Herring, lis shown by the practical doubling of the floating debt in discounted treas ury bills to 2,3S0 quadrillion in the first 10 days of September. Expendi- lures during that period reached 1 1,003, ,000, ,O00, 100000, or $43,000,000. at the average Berlin rate of ex- change. as compared with $129,000,00o in the preceding 10-day period. Of the expenditures in the September period, S51 trillions were for general expenses including the Ruhr support; i; 376 trillions were for railway deficit. and trillions were for posts and telegraphs."
 German tax receipts for the 1o-day period were reported as 49 trillions, which were less than per cent of current expenditures.
 "Government expenditures the first 10 days of September were about 18.5 million times the average in the year f913." MT. Herrings report continued.
 o O O
 Unemployment On Increase.
 Continued increase in German un- employment also was reported by MT. Herring. Part-time employment, he added, also was on the increase.
 Raise in the Reichsbank discount rates from 80 to 90 per cent, the cable said, and establishment of 10 per cent rate for time loans on gold re- payments was ordered to encourage this credit instead of paper marks. MT. Herring said the 90 per cent rate was still too low in view of the cur rency depreciation, while the 10 per cent gold rate appeared too high. gold credits being negligibfe.
 Nobody is willing to gamble on the improvement of the mark" the commercial attache said, and the Reichsbank cannot or will not re- strict paper marks to strict, essential enterprise. The new measure is gem erally considered to be the forerunner of compulsory gold credits by the Reichsbank, but there Is no imme- diate prospect of such drastic change.

 A bright sun was shining as the start was made at 4 o'clock. The French balloon Picard, manned by 3lenaime and Ravaine, and the span ish balloon Fernandez Duro, with Magdalena as pilot, were off With out accident. Then the United states army S-6 rose just as dark clouds sation, which was the probable cause of the American balloon not reach ing a safe height immediately.
 Lieutenant Olmstead was in charge, and as the S-S drifted in the dlrec- tion of the Belgian Vile de Bruxelles, enough. The second bag had not been emptied when his basket drove heavily into the Belgian Vile, six yards above ground. It appeared as if the American craft was bound to pierce the Belgian gas bag, which seemed doomed to explode.
 Fortunately the S-6 slid along the Vile de Bruxelles, simply tearing away part of the covering net, then. after dropping more ballast, sailed off, followed by yells of stop" from the thousands of spectators. immediately to prevent possible &C., cident. The Aero club will hold a special meeting to decide whether Lieutendant Olmstead will be dts qualified.

 Rain And Wind Handicap.
 Many of the balloons experienced great difficulty owing to rain and wind. The United States navy A-6699 was very slow to rise, Lieutendant Lawrence evidently being extremely reluctant to part with his ballast. It is generally agreed that none of the competitors has a more com plete or more scientific equipment that Lieutendant Lawrence. who is considered favorably for the cup.
 A-6699 was hardly in the air when a heavy wind struck the American balloon St. Louis, manned by Honey well and Captain Cullough. unable to resist the tension of the rope held by Belgian soldiers, gave way, and the gas rushed through a great vent in it's side. Within 30 seconds the balloon had flattened like pancake Honeywell, who was considered a dangerous competitor. took things like philosopher.
 The direction taken by the first 14 pilots was northwest. It is prob able that some of them will land in Denmark.

URGES AN EARLY DECISION
IN RAILROAD INCOME SUIT

A test of the validity of the law
requiring railroads to report to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
net operati ting income in excess of
6 per cent, involved in the appeal
of the Dayton-Goose Creek Railway
Company of Texas, was urged for
early decision before the Supreme
Court of the United States in a
motion made today by the Govern
ment.
Under this law one-half of the ex-
cess operating income must be paid
to the Government. The railroads
are contesting the law and Solicitor
General Beck stated to the court
that many railroad excess income
reports are being refused the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
