Essential Points British
Reply Note

Berlin, July 26.-It was reported
from Dortmund in the Ruhr today
that the authorities of occupation
had announced that the blockade OF
the occupied areas had been raised.
dating from last night. No confir-
nation from authoritative sources
was available.
Report Is Confirmed.
Duesseldorf, July 26.-The from
tier separating the Ruhr valley from
the rest Of Germany was opened at
midnight.
Thousands Of Germans were pass
ing in and out Of the occupied re-
gion today, making haste to transact
urgent business. They were anxious
to accomplish all possible during the
present opportunity because OF re-
again in a few days.
Agreement Is Reached.
Paris, July 26.-The French and
Belgian governments have reached
an entire agreement on all the es-
sential points respecting the British
note, 1t was announced today. II
was not made known whether there
would be joint or a separate reply.
The French reply will not be rea-
dy until the beginning of next week,
but Premier Poincare is understood
to have in mind the fact that the
British parliament is to adjourn Au-
gust and he is expected to submit
his governments answer before
that date. While the parliament has
nothing to do directly with this
stage Of the pegotiations, yet it is
thought here that Premier Baldwin
might like to say something to the
house Of commons on the subject
before the summer recess.
: VIII Require Further Discussion.
The negotiations prior to the sub
mission Of the proposed collective
allied note to the German govern
ment in response to its reparation
memorandum will hardly be com
pleted with the submission of the
French and Belgian replies to the
British proposal, according to the
view taken here, because 1t is con-
sidered that some points will re-
quire further discussion with the
British foreign office. Therefore,
there is strong desire that every
detail Of the negotiations remain se-
cret so that the German govern
ment may have no opportunity to-
embarrass the Franco Belgian Brit
ish discussion.

Declares Majority of Country
Against Plan; Guest At
Dinner New York

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.]
New York, July 26.-Denunciation
of President Harding's plan for Am
erica's entry into the world court
which was emphasized last night in
an address by Senator Hiram John
son OF California, was studied close :
ly by political observers today,
-.lany Of who saw in it a forecast OF
a sharp division in the ranks OF the
republican party.
Senator Johnson has been consid-
cred presidential timber by many OF
his friends and 1t was predicted
that the dinner given in his honor
last night would be the occasion for
launching boom. Such was not
ments were concerned. They were
several among the guests who shout
ed at one time or another Hiram
in 1924"
Carry On Fight Against Court
It was indicated that Senator
Johnson woud carry his fight against
the United States joining the world
court to various sections OF the
country. He insisted the court had
its genesis in the League Of Nations
and was still a part and parcel OF
the league, European countries gen =
orally and Great Britain in particu-
lar he declared were filling America
with propaganda and flattery in an
attempt to bring about participation
in their affairs. He received his
greatest applause when he declared
1t was not Americas brains that
were wanted in Europe, but her
money and potential military man
power.
Country Opposed To Plan
He asserted he did not question
President Harding's sincerity in his
world court aims, but said he be-
Eeved the majority Of sentiment In
the country was against member

demned under a democratic admin

guaranteed bonus Of 5000 at the END
Of year.
One manager of a bakery declared
that Mankato people were being
furnished local bread at the cheap
est price possible. All bakeries In
the city are selling a pound and a
quarter loaf Of bread for ten cents
Outside baker companies are selling
bread In this city at pound and q
half loaf for fifteen cents or twenty
per cent higher than local concerns.
Statement Of r. e. Browder
F. E. Browder, assistant manager
Of the Hubbard Milling company, Is
also Of the impression that Senator
Magnus johnson has an exaggerated
idea over calling q special session
of congress over the mere fact OF
the difference In the lowering Of tbs
price OF wheat and -four and that OF
bread. He declared that competition
was especially keen among Mankato
bakeries and that II 1t was possible
the price OF bread that they wou, d
certainly do SO.
1t was the unanimous opinion OF
the Mankato bake shop managers
that Mankato households were being
furnished first class bread by local
shops at a very reasonable price,
but that outside competition from
the twin cities was what was hold
ing them up on price.
Bakeries buy their fiour, which
has dropped in price S120 In the
past four months, In large quanu-
ties. Sometimes contracting for as
high as 1000 barrels of flour.
When the price Of wheat drops they
necessarily must protect themselves
at the price Of wheat bought.
