The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1923-04-26

adverse vote usually means the resig
nation of the ministry, but Bonar Law
and his colleagues considered this was
snap division and 1t was arranged
that the vote should be taken ovei
again another day. This resulted In
wild scene In the house Wednesday
and the speaker ordered adjournment
for an hour. The Labor members stood
up and sang 1.-THE Red Flag" despite
the efforts of Ramsay Macdonald and
others of their leaders to quiet them,
and two government supporters were
hit In the face. Press comments In
London scored both sides-the govern
ment party for being slack and stupid,
and the Laborites for their violence.
COUNT DE ST. AULAIRE, French
~ ambassador to England, made a
quick trip to Paris last week and car
ried back to Prime Minister Bonar
| Law statement Of the views of Pre-
mier Poincare on Inc Ruhr occupation
! and the chances for a settlement Of the
Preparations problem. 1t was In the
nature of an offer by France and was
based on the report which Louis Lou
cheur made of his recent interviews
with certain British leaders. No In
formation of Its nature has been given
out in London at this writing, but the
Paris press said Poincare insists on
the occupation of the Ruhr until the
PREPARATIONS payments have been made,
and on this condition agrees to reduce
the total sum, make the methods Of
payment easier and adjust the matter
of guarantees.
The plan provides for the payment
by Germany Of $4,000, 100000 on the A
and b bonds within ten years, French
and Belgian claims to have priority;
and the surrender of much Of the $780,
50O00O,0O0 In G bonds to the United
States in payment of the interallied
debts. Italy, Jugoslavia and Rumania
are supposed to get something from
the A and b bonds, and England per-
haps some of the bonds, although
the plan does not provide PREPARATIONS
for England. All emphasis Is placed
on the payment Of 40,O00,0OO0O0 gold
marks within ten years, of which
France is to get 26,000,000,000 gold
marks. The rest Of the plan is large
ly up to England, the United States,
and Germany to decide.
Chancellor Cuno was about ready to
announce a new German proposition
which he described as not an offer for
PREPARATIONS but a detailed plan of set
Element on which Germany Is ready to
discuss the problem. He has prepared
what he thinks are sufficient guaran-
tees for the safety of France for 80
years and says that If there are to be
negotiations the Ruhr occupation must
Rhineland left unchanged. 1t is under
stood In Berlin that Germany Is pre-
pared to offer total of 10000, 000, 900,
If she Is granted an international loan,
an extension of raw material credits
and moratorium for few years.
DOLITICAL disturbances In Ruma-
= mia have been so alarming that
there were rumors-false or at least
premature-of a revolution and the
ousting of the royal family. SO far the
government under Premier Bratiano
has retained control of the situation,
and the army remains loyal to the king.
The great danger now Is In Bessarabla,
where bolshevism remains strong
1RELAND'S republican rebels lost
= one of their strongest men when
Liam Lynch, chief OF staff of the ir.
regular army, died of wounds after
being captured during skirmish In
County Tipperary. He had been for
some time the military leader of the
revolt and 1t Is thought by many his
death will be fatal to the rebel cause
Unconfirmed reports say the Free State
troops captured Count Plunkett, Coun-
tess Marklewicz, Miss MacSwiney and
other influential rebel leaders.
DR. W. w. CAMPBELL, director OF
the Lick observatory announces
that Dr. Elnstein's theory Of RELATIVELY
Is confirmed by results deduced from
photographs of the eclipse of the sur
made In Australia last September by
the expedition from the observatory
These photographs, showing stars ap
parently close to the suns rim wher
by other methods they were known tc
be farther from the rim, demonstrated
that the light rays from them were de
hected by the gravitation attraction
exerted by the sun, seemingly provin,
Einstein's assertion that light Is a sub
stance. OF course the theory is mucl
broader and more complex than thi,
assumption, and some astronomer
still do not believe 1t Is capable O
proof.
