Berlin.-Chancellor Cuno's delibera.
lions with the reichstag leaders and
representative Of finance and indus
try are gradually assuming concrete
form and in all probability will have
sufficiently crystallized to enable the
government informally to indicate
the character Of Its Forthcoming rep
arations proposals in the next few
days.
Much consolation was had from the
offer Of the federation Of German In
dustrialists to give the requisite
guarantees for international loans
purposes, 1t being looked upon 40
showing the willingness of Germany's
business interests to back the gov
ernment.
The program drafted by the indus
triallsts and their allied financial In
terests provides for far.flung hypoth.
ecation Of all productive properties
and other economic assets and also
contains demand that the federal
railway system be turned over to q
private operating company which
would guarantee the government Z
specific return in gold earnings.
The plan conceived by the indus
triallsts provides for specific guaran-
tees for which the leading Industrial
holdings throughout Germany would
be pledged la return for the govern
ment's consent to place the federal
railways In the hands Of a private
operation board although title would
remain with the government. This ID
only one Of several features Of the
industrialists' program which are ex-
pected to meet sturdy opposition by
the socialists. ...
For the principal source Of revenue
the program suggests a gold mort
gage on oil unencumbered real estate,
and estimates indicate that this would
net 80O,000,0O0 gold marks annually
for the first ten years. with the pos
siblllty that the sum eventually would
amount to 1000,0OO.OOO gold marks.
Financial experts assume that q
gold mortgage levy on land extending
over a long number Of years would
constitute the, basis Of Germany's rep
arations assessments.
The program Of the industriallsts re-
minds the government Of the impera-
tive need Of reorganizing all branches
Of the public services, enhancing pro-
duction In all lines through added ef-
forts on the part Of labor.
While numerous technical details In
connection with the mortgaging pro-
cess and the proposed leyies on cap.
ltal and production remain to be
worked out, 1t Is believed that Ger
many will be able to indicate an offer
comprising thirty definitely prescribed
annuities in view Of capital fixation.

standing decree issued by the Su-
preme Court ordering that Clara Phil
lips be set free, she was turned over

petition for the release of Mrs. Phil
lips was placed before the Supreme

Shaw Corrected.

"Untll the Americans invented the
word STUNT" writes Shaw In his
article on Jenner. We Americans can
hardly be said to have invented It,
Mr.. Shaw. The word itself Is an old
English substantive, but with DIFF
ferent meaning; with its new meaning
of feat or performance We appear to
have adapted It from the German
"stunde." No, we Americans did not
invent it.-Boston Transcript.

"a Greece were getting herself in bad.
Absolutely refusing to pay Turkey

ritorial concessions along the Martha.
and threatening to quit the Lausanne
conference and resume hostilities un-
less the Turkish demands are with
drawn, she has placed the allied repre-
Dentatives In q most uncomfortable
position. Ismet Pasha Is no less firm
than venlzelos and has formally asked
Sir Horace Rumbold what the attitude
Of Great Britain will be in case the war
between Turkey and Greece Is renewed.
Sir Horace, aided by the French, has
been trying to find ground for COM
promise, suggesting that Turkey be
given Karagatch, the west bank Of the
Martha and the railway from Kara
gatch to Constantinople, In lieu Of cash.
The Turks did not reply definitely. but
the Greeks asserted. informally, that
they would make no such offer.
Meanwhile both sides are preparing
for warfare. The Greek army In
Thrace, which Henry J. Allen says
numbers 200,0 900 men. is lined up along
the Martha and the threat is that 1t
will march against Constantinople. A
considerable Greek feet Is cruising
about the entrance to the Dardanelles,
and the Turkish government has lodged
with the British protest against Its
presence there. The Turks assert that
II Greece wants war they are ready,
and that their troops In Anatolia can
reach Constantinople In two days,
while It would take the Greek army at
least fifteen days even without opp0-
sition. One Turkish general Is quoted
as saying: 1.-THE Turks feel certain
that Greece will not start a fight with
ant allied support. For this reason
turkish officials are threatening Mosul
n6 Syria, and those provoking or en-
couraging the Greeks to attack Con-
stantinople should take this into con-
alteration"
The Turks, It Il said, either have de-
stroyed or are ready to destroy all the
bridges over the Martha. It is known
that they have mined the bridge that
connects Karagatch with Adrianople.

also because they feared his Russian
policy would lead to war. So Curson.
prevented from realizing his greatest
ambition, was compelled to step aside
and Baldwin was offered and accepted
the position.
This, It would appear. was fortunate
for Great Britain and gratifying to the
world at large for Baldwin gives
promise Of being a more accomplished
and skillful statesman than the arro-
CANT Lord Ourzon. He ID fairly &C

land. and certainly his appointment is
pleasing to France. which blames Cur
zon for much Of the trouble she has
had In the Ruhr occupation and for the
threatened break with Belgium over
the methods to be pursued there In
Washington MI. Baldwin created a de-
cidedly favorable impression by the
way in which he conducted the nego-
tiations for the funding Of the British
war debt to America. he Is pre-
eminently a business man with a
knowledge Of finances that was dis
played best BY the budget which, as
chancellor Of the exchequer, he sub
mitted to parliament not long ago. At
this writing Baldwin has not completed
his cabinet but II q said there will be
few changes. Curzon will remain as
secretary for foreign affairs. Lord

between Great Britain and Russia Is
fading away. Leonid Krassin presented
to Lord Curzon last Wednesday q note
In which the Soviet government yields
to nearly all the British demands and
says It thus yields, not because 1t
thinks It was In the wrong, but be-
cause q break between the two coun-
tries would endangr the general peace
by creating basis for "the aggressive
aims Of the milltarist elements In most
countries, even independently Of the
will Of the British government" Prime
Minister Baldwin, It may be said, does
not regard the soyiets so unfavorably
as does Lord Curzon.
DOSSIBLY directed by Russian
1 agents, the communists in the
Ruhr decided last week that the time
for direct action had come. In Gelsen.
kirchen, after bloody fights with the
police, they seized the police headquar-
ters and hoisted the red flag. and In
Dortmund there was another desperate
conflict. A general strike, nomlnally
against the cost Of food, Is In effect in
the Ruhr and Is spreading rapidly. In
some towns commissions of control
forced the dealers to reduce prices.
Communist leaders say men of all
parties have joined In the strike. 1t
was asserted by the German press
that these disturbances were fostered
by the French. To this the French
retorted that their officials at Dussel-
dorf had knowledge that Moscow had
sent more than 10000 900 Swiss francs
to the Ruhr to further the scheme to
create q Soviet republic, and that the
Russians had also sent two shlploads
Of wheat for the use Of the communists.
The mobs were organized In units Of
100 and were capably commanded. The
French troops refused to interfere in
the fights.
