GERMANY ACCEPTS
PARIS RUHR TERMS

London. Germany accepted the
French terms for the evacuation of
the Ruhr through her delegates here
after obtaining slight textual changes,
it is understood. The French are to
stay in the Ruhr another year.
The day was one of excitement In
the course of the afternoon the Ger
man representatives received from
Berlin 7,000-word report of a spe-
cial cabinet meeting. The message
was in a special code in the posses
sion of Chancellor Marx and was de-
coded by him. A visit of the Germans
to Downing street followed early in
the evening, and Marx and Stresseman
conferred for more than an hour with
Prime Minister Macdonald and Am
bassador Kellogg.
This last appeal proved something
of disappointment, as the English
man and the American, it is under
Stood joined in representing to them
the advantages of acceptance of the
French proposal, trusting that late
events would force a reconsideration
of the evacuation date at later time.
The Germans tried to strike a bar
gain over the Forthcoming loan, ask
ing Ambassador Kellogg and Premier
Macdonald to guarantee that it would
be raised The British and American
statesmen replied, however, that they
were powerless to do this. the matter
being solely in the hands of the bank
ers, who, after arrangements have
been made here, must decide whether
or not the loan is practicable and safe.

Speech of Acceptance
at Evanston.

told the American people that the

paign Is the issue of what he termed

mated by the Socialist party, which is
marching behind LaFollette with the
red flag flying.

movement was the real opponent of
the Republican party. although the
result of the effort may be to dead
lock the contest for the Presidency
and make Organism succeed the Cool
idge policy"
Hits Democratic Ticket.

was composed of one conservative and
one radical, hoping to get votes by
avoiding the issue," and be told his
hearers that John W. Davis and Gov
ernor Bryan twill suffer only the fate
which befalls those who try to straddle
in real fight"
These things he told to the nation
In speech which marks the course
which the Republican national cam
paign will take. The enemy is LaFol-
lette. vote for Davis is a vote for
Bryan. Such will be the slogans of
the Republican party And the 'rst
official intimation of these slogans was
made by General Dawes in his speech
accepting the Republican nomination
for vice president-a speech which in
reality, through radio and the press,
was addressed to the entire nation,
although nominally it was addressed
to the immense crowd which packed
General Dawes back yard" in Ev-
anSton.

to Sheridan road, stood a throng
which was estimated to number 10000
