COMPROMISE SEEN.
Six-Year Period for Experts Work
Is Proposed.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

BIZ DAVID LAWRENCE.
Premier Poincare has worked out a
compromise which he hopes will prove
acceptable to the United States gov
ernment. In a long communication
which expresses in detail the reasons
for the French governments attitude,
the United States is asked to agree
that the proposed commission of ex-
perts shall examine Germany's ca
pacity to pay for the next six years
that is, from January, 1924, through
December 1880.
When the six-year period has
passed, Premier Poincare suggests
that the commission of experts or
another body similar to it shall re-
sumo sittings and inquire then into
the capacity of Germany to pay in
subsequent years. Nj. Poincare ar
rived at the six-year idea by a close
study of the provisions of the Yer
sailles treaty and particularly this
provision:
"On the following questions una
nimity (of the reparations commits
total or partial, beyond the end of
1880 of the payment of installments
falling due between May !. 1921, and
the end of 1926. inclusive"
L
ernment feels it cannot at this time
go beyond 1880 and yet comply with
the provisions of the treaty requiring
unanimous consent of all the allied
and associated powers Interested IN
reparations. Furthermore, Premier
Poincare contends that If an inquiry
can be made into the capacity of
Germany to pay during the present
disturbed period and the reconstruc-
ton era that is hoped to follow any
settling down of affairs in Germany
in the next few years, 1t Will not be
a difficult matter to assess German
capacity for payment in the normal
years which might follow the six
year perioS
Feels Position Sound.
The French premier feels that his
reservation is not unreasonable be-
cause no human mind can calculate
Germanys capacity for payment over
a period of fifty or a hundred years,
for no one knows the recuperatlve
power of sixty or seventy mllllons OF
people, especially when the German
birthrate is increasing so rapidly.
M. Poincare faces an internal politi-
cal situation which has been no small
factor in his present course. On NO
vember 13-which is only next week
the French chamber of deputies re-
convenes. M. Poincare must go be-
fore that body and explain what he
is doing. He wants to be able to say
he has not entered into any arrange
ment committing France to anything
beyond 1880. He would not venture
to take responsibility for any longer
time.
AS for the viewpoint of the Ameri-
can government, it will not, of course,
be disclosed until after the French
viewpoint has been thoroughly exam
ined. But the decision before Presi-
dent Coolidge and Secretary Hughes
is a critical one. To say that moth
ing could be accomplished in an in
quiry which is to determine German
capacity for payment in the next six

TAKING STRATEGIC
POSITIONS IN RUHR
DISCUSSED IN PARIS
General Staff Forms Plans to
Check Menace of German
Movement.
BY the Associated Press.

! PARIS, November 9.-The French
general staff foresees the necessity
for certain military measures to pro-
tect the French troops in the Ruhr
in the event of grave disorders in
Germany or in case there is the men
ace of an armed movement against
the occupation troops.
The first of these measures would
be to straighten out the military line
in Westphalia as the Ruhr now forms
sort of square pocket exposed to
attack on three sides. This operation
would be accomplished by taking
strategic positions to the south. Such
eventual dispositions of troops could
be executed without delay.
If the circumstances should seem
to require them, France could easily
put in motion 100000 men. Fifty-five
thousand are already in the Ruhr,
95, 700 more are in the Rhineland,
while an additional $4,000 are within
easy reach of the frontier.
Other Troops Available.
Large garrisons are stationed at
Metz and Strasbourg, smaller ones
are all along the Rhine, in Alsace,
while there are reserves at Belfort
Epinal and Verdun, not far away.
The French high command is not
likely to be surprised by any devel-
opment in Germany that is hostile to
France, as it's system of intelligence
is understood to be most complete.
German accumulation of gold cred
it's abroad. part of which would be
available for financing a nationalist
revolution, are estimated by persons
in close touch with international
banking interests at the equivalent OF
about $4,000, 100000. Some of this is
on deposit to the credit of the gov
ernment, but sthe greater part is to
the credit of the heads of the Ger
man industries, who are in sympathy
with the monarchist movement.
Millions in Reserve.
total are in London banks, according
to a British official now in Paris, who
is in constant touch with the bankers
1t is estimated that equal amounts
are in the United States, while f200,-
100000 more is divided among de-
positors in Holland, Switzerland and
the Scandinavian countries.
The interallied council of ambassa-
doris has been summoned to meet this
afternoon to consider the situation
in Germany.
Exchanges of views are proceeding
between France and her allies as to
the action that may be necessary If
the movement in Bavaria extends to
the other states in the reich.
The French military secret service
became aware of the movement in
Bavaria yesterday morning and this
prompted the French government to
notify Berlin that it could not toll
crate the establishment of military
dictatorship.

Sewers Bavnrian Relations.
When word of the revolt reached
Berlin, the central government sew
cred all relations with Bavaria, ap-
pointed Gen. Won Seeckt as command
erin chief of the national army and
announced the withdrawal of all fed
erai support from the rebellious state
until constitutional conditions should
be resumed.
The government also addressed the
following manifesto to the German
people:
AT this moment of great tension
in the foreign and domestic situation
some foolish people are endeavoring
to break up the German reich.
An armed band has overthrown
the government in Munich, arrested
Premier Won Knilling and arrogated
to itself the right to institute a gov
ernment of the reich. 1t has made
Ludendorff commander-in-chie of
the German army and has made Hit
ler, who was naturalized only some
days ago, arbiter of the destinieS of
Germany.
High Treason Charged.
There is no need to say that this
decision to carry a coup detat can
have no effect. Whoever supports
this movement will be guilty of high
treason.
Instead of helping in the Rhine
land and the Ruhr, our brethren who
are fighting in Germany's cause, such
persons are plunging tha reich into
catastrophe, threatening it's food
supplies. They are exposing it to an
enemy invasion and they are Destroy
ing all chances of economic improve
ment.
The recent measures of the reich
in the monetary domain have had the
effect of notably improving the po-
sition of the mark abroad within the
last twenty-four hours. This will be
lost if the attempt made in Munich
succeeds.
we exhort all patriots to defend
the unitys order and liberty of the
reich. All steps to combat the coup
detat and to restore order have been
taken and will be carried out with
the utmost vigor."

orders of the revolutionaries.
The nationalist coup can be con-
sidered settled, says the semi official

vices received through Wurzberg,
northwest of Munich.

The first fragmentary advices from
Munich were to the effect that the
rebellion was only against the Won
Knilling government, but as other re-
ports were received the impression
grew that the revolt was also aimed
the leaders of the coup had pro-
claimed the overthrow of the Ebert

when a proclamation to the German

would be carried out with the ut

Spiking of Riconda by Cobb Stirs Up Old
Time Feud With Athletics

avoid the touch he came into the
base very high. Riconda, who han
died the throw, was cut on the arm.
The story is that Riconda lex
pressed himself very strongly. Cobb.
on getting to his feet, brushed
against the Athletic third baseman.
In so doing he stepped on Riconda's
left foot in such way as to twice
cut the visiting player. Serious
trouble was narrowly averted by the
timely interference of players and
umpires.
Cobb's actions, whether inten-
tional or merely accidental, have
again stirred up the old feud that
for years made every meeting be-
tween the two clubs hectic strug-
gle. Mack's men openly assert they
intend to make trouble. We shall
see. A number of players have
threatened to get Cobb, but so far
their efforts have been confined en-
tirely to conversation.
The fact that Cobb is an outfielder
makes him almost immune from in
jury. An infielder is always in dan
ger, but it is rather hard to make the
going unpleasant for an outfielder.
If the Athletics are to make trouble
for Cobb it looks as if they would
be forced to seek a battle ground
other than the ball field.
