DYNAMITE REPLY
TO KRUPP VERDICT
Sabotage Gangs Blow Up Bridge
and Cut Off Coal Going
to France.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
ESSEN, May 11.-Sabotage gangs
dynamited an important railway
bridge last night as their apparent
answer to the verdict Of the French
court-martial at Dusseldorf impos-
ing the death sentence upon Albert
Schlogetter. convicted with six others
on charges Of sabotage and espionage.
The bridge was on the main line
between Waltrop and Lunen. The
burgomasters of these two towns
have been arrested by the French
military authorities and 1t is expect
ed fines will be imposed. Cutting of
the railroad line interferes with the
transportation Of GOAL and coke from
the Dortmund district and will cause
considerable inconvenience to the
French.
Essen was like a deserted city to-
day. All the stores, factories and
public utilities were shut down from
II am. until 4 pm. in protest against
the conviction Of Baron Krupp. Won
Bohlen and other officials of the
krupp works by a French court-mar-
tial. During these hours there was
not even policeman on the streets
The Krupp directors opposed the
demonstration, IT is understood, but
the workmen insisted upon 1t, so the
Krupp works as we'll as all the other
plants were closed.

CANAL PROTECTION

PANAMA. May lin a memoran-
dunn submitted to Secretary of War
Weeks, the government Of Panama
asserts that inasmuch as the canal
has been completed the United States
should definitely declare that 1t now
holds all land necessary for the pro-
lection of the waterway, thereby af-
fording a safeguard against expro-
priation which might eventually re-
suit in the absorption Of the entire
republic.
The memorandum sets forth Panama's
position with regard to several points
in her relations with the United
States. 1t asserts that the leasing of
commissaries to private concerns Is
acceptable to Panama only II the COM
panieS pay duty on all importations.
The Panama Railroad Company. 1t
| says. should pay the taxes on its
various commercial enterprises in
this country and should make res
titutton of all urban property in the
cities Of Panama and Colon under
article of the canal treaty.
Ask Transportation.
1t is necessary, the communication
says, that Panama should have means
of crossing the canal without hind
rance, thus facilitating communica-
ton between the two sections of the
republic. Inasmuch as certain Pam
anna roads may be used by the Amer
lean government for strategical pur-
poses, the note says the bridges on
such highways should be of heavy
construction and suggests that the
United States pay for such improve
ments. as bridges of light construction
suffice for local needs.
The special housing facilities Of
fered by the canal administration the
memorandum declares, have caused
a depopulatfon OF the West Indian
districts in Panama City and Colon.
Another point in the memorandum
is that tmportations by canal en-
ployes should be subject to duty.

Blair Defines
Scope of Recent
Liquor Decision

A preliminary Interpretation Of
the recent Supreme Court decision
barring liquor within American
territorial waters has been made
by Commissioner Blair of the In
ternal revenue bureau. for the
guidance Of revenue and customs
officers.
The new definitions as set out by
Commissioner Blair, follow:
Transportation means any real
carrying about.
Importation means any actual
bringing in from outside the coun-
try.
Territory as used in the eight
eenth amendment. means the re-
gional areas of land and adjacent
waters over which the United
States claims and exercises domin-
lon and control as sovereign
power.
american vessels on the high
seas are not territory within this
meaning.
Both American and foreign ves-
sells within the territorial jurisdic-
ton of the United States are sub
ject to the eighteenth amendment
and the national prohibition act"

Completed Note Points Out
Inadequacy of Offer in
Simple Language.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 1l.-Brevity and in
cisiveness are the features Of Great
Brhain's newest note to Germany on
the reparations question. which now Is
complete. The document, consisting of
two typewriter pages, avoids technical
details, points out in simple language
the inadequacy from the British view
point of Germany's proposals and urges
her to try again.
The note probably will be delivered to
the German ambassador here tomorrow
or Sunday, copies meantime being trans
n1ftted " France and Belgium as an act
of courtesy.
AS already indicated. Italy's reply fol-
lows the same general lines as the
English response and will be presented
to Berlin simultaneously.
No Advance Copies for u. 8.
AS the United States Is not directly
concerned with reparations the Brit
!sh government has not entered into
conversations with Washington re-
garding the reply to Berlin, and no
advance copies OF the cabinets note
will go to the United States. British
officials here, however, are much IN
terested in the views of the American
government and are anxious to see
whether the United States has any
new suggestions for the solution of
the reparation problem.
New Offer Expected.
PARIS. May 11.-A new German
reparation offer is expected to grow
out OF the British reply to Chancellor
Cuno's note. according to well In
formed circles.
1t is believed here that the Germans
have. been considering the plan ad-
vanced by the British at the Paris
conference in January with view to
ascertaining IL certain notifications
would make 1t acceptable to the
