j. s. SHOULD FORCE
FRANCE To SETTLE,
UPHA|M DECLARES

CHICAGO, Sept 6.-American in.
tervention with a firm hand to break
the deadlock between France and Ger
many on the question of Preparations
was advocated by Fred w. Upham,
treasurer of the Republican national
committee, who said he will recon-
ment to President Coolidge that he
ask congress to give him authority
to name a commission of American
business men to determine as soon
as possible what reparations Ger
many is able to pay. Mr.. Upham,
who returned to his home here yes
terday after a tour of Europe this
summer to study conditions, will go
to Washington next week at the in
vitation of the president to report on
the situation in the old world.
Without asking permission OF
France. the United States, in Mr..
Uphams opinion, should make an in
quiry into Germany's ability to pay
and then France should be informed
that the figure arrived at should pc
accepted at once. Failure of France
To accept IuS ttOIIlIilloolOIl AAIANAAi .
should be followed by a demand upon
France to pay ut once the debt she
owes the United States, according to
Mr.. Upham plan.
Germany will collapse and may en-
brace soviet Russia rather than face
complete ruin, unless this country
acts quickly, he declared. 1.-THE
United States is the only nation In
the world today that is in a position
to demand that Europe put its house
in order" Mr.. Upham said.
while every right thinking per-
son believes that, under the rules of
the war game, Germany, having lost,
should make proper reparations, it is
stupid to seek to impose conditions
on the vanquished nation that would
result in ruin, not only for Germany,
but for the countries in Europe that
are looking to Germany for repara.
tons.
France today, instead of paying
its debt to this country, is employ.
ing that credit to make of herself
what she told us in her hour of need
Germany was trying to do, to the de
structlon of our very civilization.
Mr.. Upham announced that unless
President Coolidge vetoed present
plans of the national committee. the
republican national convention in
1874 will be held in Chicago.

ENFORCEMENT FUND
SOUGHT BY HAYNES

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Appro-
priation of $1O,OOO,OOO for federal
work in enforcing prohibition next
year, an increase Of $1,0OO,000 over
last year, has been requested of the

Increases in the number of field
agents as well as the Washington

prohibition forces is planned if the
increased appropriations are ap-
proved by the budget bureau, Presi-
dent Coolidge, and finally by con-
gress. Repeal of the New York
state enforc ment law and partial
failure of state cooperation there
and elsewhere are understood to be
the chief reason for the request for
additional! appropriations.

WHAT WOULD EARTHQUAKE.
DO TO NEW YORK? GOTHAM'S
JEWELLERS ARE SPECULATING

thing like 10000, 900 years since there
was an upheaval beneath the sur
face of the earth sufficient to cause
any serious alienation of the face
of things here in the east. NO
islands have disappeared and none
have risen from the sea, although
there are enough prohibition non
believers in this vicinity who would
regard the arrival of some nice palm
clad islands just outside the three
mile limit as not an unmiXed evil.
mo" DR.. Reeds said today, cit
is not probable that New York ever
will be shaken by an earthquake. .
This was good news to some OF
the antlike workers in the forty
story towers that dot Manhattan is
land. The lower half of this island
is an immense beehive. Probably
there are 100000 workers employed
there. An earth shock sufficient to
crumble the immense buildings that
rise from the solid rock foundations
would cause a loss of life and prop
erty far beyond that of all the Jap
anese cities which have been swept
away by quake, fire and flood. 1t
has been inevitable, the speculation
as to what might happen in New
York.
Imagination Rampant
Some imaginative artists have
attempted to set down their impress
sions Of the scene. In these draw
ings some of the skyscrapers nave
not had room to fall. They have
Just leaned against each other across
the narrow streets that separate
them, shaking human beings out OF
the myriad windows like so many
grains of pepper from pepper box.
Unmindful of this fanciful specu-
lation, the architects and construc-
ton engineers of the city have been
studying the problems presented by
the Japanese disaster as to the pos
~sible effect of the future design of
buildings in the Far East. Every
effort has been made lately to in
troduce the modern steel frame
building into both Japan and China.
Japan was taking hold of the new
idea with increased interest. One
New York construction concern,
which built semi-sky scrapers in the
earthquake disaster claims to have
heard that their buildings withstood
the severe \tremors and were dam
aged only by the surrounding fires.
San Franciscos experience in 1906
seemed to prove beyond all reason
able doubt the stability Of the steel
frame buildings, and the new San
Francisco of today is magnificent
with the towering buildings which
replaced some of the less substar-
tiaI structures swept aw;N in the
disaster of seventeen years ago.

Scientist ReaSsures Them,
However, That None, Is
Likely = Engineers Say
Structures Would Stand
BY ROBERT T. SMALL
Neased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(C65Trioht 1928

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Half a
week of speculation as to what
might happen to New York, with
its towering skyscrapers and can
yon-like streets, if an earthquake of
Japanese severity should hit it, was
brought to an end today, with the
statement Of DIR. Charles "A. Reeds,
of the American MUSEUM of Natural
history. that this city is 100000
years away from such a disaster.
DR.. Reeds is observer in charge
of the seismograph at the museum
and has made a life study of earth
shocks and their causes. He de-
clares the entire eastern section of
the North American continent some
10000, 900 years ago passed through
the same period of formation now in
progress in Japan. The earth's
crust beneath Manhattan island is
as thick and hard as the outer crust
of some of the persons known to the
country at large as typical New
Workers."
Fault Lines Dead
The earth's crust has been slit in
various places from time to time
and these Sits are known as fault
lines. There are several of these
fault lines along the northeastern
coast of the United States. Some
of them run along the beds of the
great eastern rivers, like the ST.
Lawrence and the Hudson, but they
are old lines, so old in fact that
time has sealed them together al
most as tightly as if they did not
exist. Thus they have become known
as dead faults.
Millions of years appear as moth
ing to DR.. Reeds. He declares the
most recent rock formations discov-
cred in the northeastern states date
back to the Tertiary period Of some
100000 years ago. Most of the
eastern rock belongs to the Triassic
period-a matter of some 100000
or 100000 years ago. In other
words, DR.. Reeds believes that if a
thing is discovered to be 10,000O00
years old, it might just as well be a
couple of million years older for ALL
purposes of present day calculations
