Z KILLED, 25 HURT
IN GERMAN R|OT|NG
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN. June 25.-Street fighting
occurred in Eisleben, Prussian Sax
ony. between nationalists and COM
munists on the occasion of. the un-
yelling of a memorial to the assassi-
mated German foreign minister, DR.
Walter Rathenau, the Central News
states. Two of the demonstrators
are reported dead and twenty-five
seriously injured.
In speech at the opening of the
agricultural exposition in Koenigs-
burg, East Prussia. yesterday, Chan
cellor Cuno referred to the Ruhr and
reparations problems in words con-
sidered to show little disposition on
the part of the government to COM
promise.
The chancellor declared the spirit
of resistance and the will to resist
were as firm as ever among the Ruhr
population. This convinced him. he
said. that the entire German people
would show themselves as unswerv-
ing in political and economic mat
ters as the people of the Ruhr and
Rhineland.
Says Efforts Fail.
Nothing had been left undone TO find
reasonable, supportable and final
solution of the reparation problem, he
declared. The German memorandum
had achieved on the whole what was
expected, namely, that il would con-
vince the world of Germany's honest
desire to live at peace with her neigh
bors and not to promise reparations.
but to pay them by the exercise of
the utmost strength of the German
people, on the condition that the Ger
mans should be able to say: AT the
conclusion of these deliveries stands
freedom"
Foreign press comment admitted
that great progress had been made,
he went on. although France was not
yet ready for negotiations and still
demanded abandonment of the passive
resistance which, he asserted. had not
been created by the governments
order. but by the peoples will. No
government could end this, and. more
over. no German government could
wish 20 end it SO long as it's aban-
donment did not show a sure path tc
solution of justice and equity.

concluded Herr Cuno, "the stronger

united will of the people of unoccu-
