FEAR OF DISASTER GRIPS
GERMANY AS "REDS" REVOLT

MUNICH, Sept Z: (By The As
ISOLATED Press)-Germany's internal
political situation is much afrecteo
by the hundreds of thousands or
Russians who have either fed TO
Germany for safety or have come
here voluntarily. Communist lead
ers throughout Germany frequently
are Russians, and the opinion Is
prevalent that Russian agitators are
much more numerous than they
really are. Their tactics are similar
to those followed in Russia. They
using the same lavish display OF
placards and printing, the same sort
of inflammatory articles in the COM
munist journals that were prevalent
in Russia before the red terror
spread owe that land.
White Russians, that is, non-com-
munistic Russians, r much alarm
ed by the economist propaganda
and excite all the Germans they
know by telling them what COM
munism did to Russia.
There is such nervousness now In
Munich, Leipsig, Dresden, Berlin,
Breslau, Hamburg and other cities
having large working population
that the explosion of an automobile
tire or an unusually loud motor ex-
haust is mistaken for gunfire, and
pedestrians prepare to take shelter.
The communists nave talked so
much, and the financial situation
and food shortage in great centers
are so acute, that the re-enactment
of Russia's tragedy is greatly fear
ed.
Anti-fascicism" is the name I'M
der which the communistic agitation
is moving at present. Placards urg-
ing the workmen to join the anti
fascicists" and check the Industrial
lists and capitalists who are starving
workmen and their families" are
widely posted throughout German
cities.
While the non-bolshevist Rus
SLAMS in Germany probably outnum-
Der the bolshevistic Russians many
times, and although few of the bour-
geois Russians r engaged in polit-
ical activities in Germany, they con
tribute much to the uneasiness in
the great cities. Most of them suf-
fered great hardships in Russia and
through their newspapers and per-
sonal associations they intensity the
fear of bolshevism.
Throughout Germany the air Is
now constantly filled with rumors of
impending disaster. One day there
are reports that pogroms may be
expected from the forces on the
right. The next day demonstrations
from the left are predicted widely
by the nervous press. and given wild
circulation by an uneasy public.
The Ruhr situation is overshadow-
ed in the larger cities of Central and
Eastern Germany by local troubles
and expected troubles. Causes of the
general upset of affairs in Germany
are ignored by the average man, and
Especially by the average woman. To
them, the potato shortage and the
lack Of fats are the allsimportanf
subject oftha hogT

SEIZED
BY THE POLICE
Eighteen Cases Found on Pier
One Arrest Made After
Shots are Fired

TOTTENvILLE, Sept. 7:-An ex-
change of shots between rum run
ners and detectives of Inspector Bal
ley's staff of the Seventh Inspection
District featured the capture of
eighteen cases of Scotch whiskey
that were landed from a boat to a
pier at the foot of Nelson avenue,
Great Kills, at 8 o'clock this morn
ing. A fast motorboat with three
men aboard in which, it Is believed,
the whiskey was brought to the pier,
succeeded in getting away. One ar
rest was made by the police. Jack
Redmond, of 43 Jewett avenue, Port
Richmond, said by the police to be
a bootlegger, was arrested by Detec-
tives Ulsamer and Jones, of Inspec-
tor Bailey's staff, assisted by Patrol
man Thomas Finan, OF the Sixty
third precinct station, New Dorp.
Redmond was taken tQ.+he Sixty
third precinct station, New Dorp,
where he was admitted to bail for
his appearance in federal district
court In Brooklyn today. The eigh-
teen cases of whiskey were trans
ferred to the station house by the
patrol auto and will be taken to
Brooklyn some time today to the
government warehouses. The boat is
believed to have been IN of the fast
rum runners carrying whiskey from
the ships beyond the three mile limit
and probably eluded the government
vessels on watch to prevent the
smuggling of booze past Sandy Hook
into New York and New Jersey coast
places. Ulsamer reports firing three
shots at the fleeing rum runners and
Jones five. Police Lieutenant Dennis
J.. Glavin, of Tottenville, is in charge

.I|NEMAN| IS
BADLY BURNED
Plant and Structure Employe
Narrowly Escapes Electro
Cuti0n Yesterday

TOTTENVILLE, Sept. flames
Ryan, twenty-nine years old. a line
man in the employ of the Depart
ment of Plants and Structures, of
the city of New York, was almost
electrocuted when both of his hands
came in contact with the feed wire
while working on the line in Ar
thur Kill road near Bethel venue
about 1880 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Ryan was making repairs and
lining hangers on the feed wire from
the top Of the emergency repair
truck at the time of the accident.
Both hands became fast to the
feed wire and he could not let go.
William Barnes, of 10 York ave-
nue., the chauffeur of the repair
truck sitting on the seat smelled
flesh and heard Ryan strug-
ing to get loose. At the risk of
Wis own life Barnes threw himself
on Ryans body and succeeded in
breaking his hold on the heavily
charged wire.
An Ambulance was summoned
from the Richmond Memorial Hos
pital and DIR. Marchetti, the am
bulance surgeon attended the in
jured man. Ryan was later able to
go to his home by automobile.
Barnes also suffered from shock.
Ryan probably owes his life to
Barnes who through his quick ac-
ton succeeded in getting him loose
from the wire. The wire is the n
that carries the power for the OPP
GRAFTON of the trackless trolley sys-
tenn between Richmond and Totem
vile along the Arthur Kill road.

Mexico Much Improved,
r. w. Bdbson Declares

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass, Sept.
w. Babson today issued
the following statement regarding
conditions in Mexico.
THE most interesting event of the
week to business men and investors
is the announced attitude of the adj
ministration relative to Mexico. For
some time, it has been known by
those in intimate touch with the
state department that relations were
becoming more friendly day by day
between the United States and our
Ineighbor to the south. Secretary
Hughes. who went into the cabinet
very much prejudiced against Next
co, has been gradually becoming
more friendly. In justice to Mr.
Hughes, however, 1t should be said
that conditions have entirely chang
ed and that he has been a large
factor in the improvement of rela-
Itions. Fear was expressed in some
quarters for Mexico with the an
|nouncement of President Harding's
death; but President Coolidge has
Iquieted these apprehensions with the
assurance that he will carry out Nj.
Harding's Mexican policy. This ac-
counts for the recent action OF the
administration and the hopefulness
of all concerned.
about a year ago, the Mexican
government, through the efforts of
New York bankers, agreed to a re-
adjustment of its indebtedness. Con-
tinually during the past year various
corporate readjustments have been
going on, which show good faith of
0bregon government The action of
the Mexican congress regarding con-
~fiscation has been very satisfactory
to American investors. The fact that
all usurpers have been put down and
that Villa himself has been finally
eliminated has strengthened the sit
uation. There r still many wild
eyed radicals in the Mexican govern
|ment but these gradually being
tanned. Like Russia, Mexico is stead
lily becoming more conservative, hav-
ing learned the lesson that natural
resources are of no avail unless de-
veloped by men of integrity, indus
try, and intelligence. The Mexican
revolutions of the past ten years
have been costly; but through them
the people have learned that 1t Is
men that make values, and tha

COAL BUYING
DELAY AFFECTS
CAR SHORTAGE
Railroad Commission Sees Re
latiOn Between Grain and
Coal Movement


Purchase of coal has. been de.
layed by citizens of North Dakota
until the situation is becoming
critical.
This is the statement of the
state railroad commission. Effort
has been made this year to avert
shortage of cars for hauling
grain. But if the purchase Of coal
is delayed so that the railroads will
be taxed with hauling Of coal when
they should be moving crops, there
may be shortage of. grain cars,
the commission says, in the follow.
ing statement:
To Consumers Of Coal: -
"In sorder that we may anticipate
the car requirements for the State
Of North Dakota during the heavy
shipping season Of 1923, the Commits.
sion has required reports to be sub.
mitted from all sections of the state
showing crop conditions and ship.
ments of various commodities. For
the past six months steady move
ment of empty cars from the east
to lines in North Dakota has been
maintained to the end that a car
shortage may be averted. Today
there are thousands Of empty cars
stored on the lines of railroads oper-
ating in North Dakota preparatory to
moving the crops of 1923, and with
the fullest cooperation of the public
100 per cent service can be given.
reports indicate that the people
of North Dakota have delayed pur-
chasing coal and the situation is be-
coming critical. It is unreasonable to
expect 100 per cent car service if
purchasing Of coal is delayed until
the wheat movement. The first rush
of cold weather will tax the mines
and transportation facilities to capa-
city, and there remains only lew
days to the beginning of the heavy
movement.
Every season the Commission is
called upon to assist communities in
securing fuel and at times it has
been difficult, if not impossible, tc
furnish all requirements, and If con-
sumers and agents will act now by
purchasing even part of their re-
quirements shortage and possible
suffering may be prevented.
1--WE therefore strongly urge the
placing Of immediate orders by con-
sumers, public institutions and util-
tiles for their requirements for fall
and winter 1924. Consumers should
at least put in part Of their coal
without delay"

PARlSREP0RTIS
Wants to Continue Discussion
with British on the Ruhr
and Occupations
HOPES FOR DELAY
Believes Prime Minister Bald
win of Britain Will Con-
slider Propositions

Paris, Aug. 2l.-(By the Associated
Press)-The French government re.
ply to the recent note of Marquis
Curzon. British foreign secretary or
the foreign situation was handed to
the British embassy at 9 o'clock to-
day. The feeling in French official
circles is that this note indited by
Premier Poincare will prevent rup.
ture of the entente.
Considerable confidence is express.
ed that the British cabinet will find
it conciliatory and see in it q basis
for continued discussion of the Ruhr
occupation and the reparations pro-
blem generally.
There is no concealment Of the
fact that the reply is largely contro-
versial; that Premier Poincars is
unyielding on the outstanding fea-
lures Of the situation and that Prime
Minister Baldwin will find the reply
not conclusive.
1t is almost certain, however, that
he will regard it as encouraging and
Withhold any plans toward Germany
until the points in dispute are furth-
or elucidated.I
There is said to be q tendency to
look more favorably on new repara-
tions conference of the allies and it
is thought to be certain that Premier
Poincare will see Prime Minister
Baldwin when the latter returns from
his vacation.
The French reply takes up. fifty
pages Of yellow book which will be
issued tomorrow with summary
both in English and French.
