willing to talk to him. To the ordinary
patron Of barbecue on the high roads,
he is just another Italian. He likes 1t
and sometimes, as during the Butler
MusSolini incident, he had the oppor-
tunity Of hearing an earful.
Sounds Public Opinion.
Signor de MARITIME spends a good
deal of money on newspapers and press
clippings. I don't think that there is
a single story on Italy published in any
newspaper or magazine in the United
States which is not brought TO his at
tention. Files of clippings are laid
on his desk every day by the embassy
attaches and in this way he knows
what people in this country think about
his country. In this manner he is able
to form a fair opinion Of how the wind
blows" in this country in regard to
Italy.
His method seems to be right because
he is able to inform his government
with a great deal of accuracy about
what should and what should not be
done in order to gain the sympathy Of
the American people. When Premier
MuSsolini decided to accept the Hoo
yer proposal with the reservation that
the Germans should give up their tariff
union project with Austria, Signor de
MARITIME realized the mistake and urged
his government not to make accep-
lance conditional on anything. They
know in Rome the Ambassador S
method of sounding public opinion, and
they took his advice.
Thinkers With Cars.
The italian Ambassador is popular
in Washington because of his simple,
democratic manners. He is still more
popular with secondhand motor car
dealers. They scramble to buy his used
cars because Signor de MARITIME is an
expert mechanic. Any car which has
been through his hands for six months
is better than when it was new. He
thinkers and fuses for hours at time
with the engine and when he has been
able to tune it to perfection he loses
interest in the car and sells it in order
to buy and improve new car.

FINANCE MAY RALLY
TO GERMANY'S AID
Possibility of President Nov.

BY the Associated Press.
Mobilization Of American financial
power to bulwark Germany, as one way
to alleviate the distress Of that coun-
try. has become the subject Of discus
sionS in which high administrator ON
Gals are participating.
Disturbing reports OF the German
financial status reached ofhcialdom here
Yesterday. No comment was forthcom-
ing, however.
President Hoover and Acting Secre-
tary Castle of the State Department
were at the Presidents Rapidan camp
in Virginia. Both State and Treasury
DEPARTMENTS kept in close touch with
the acute situation reported confronting
the Bruening government.
Some officials expressed the private
opinion Mr.. Hoover would undertake
some action to prevent a disastrous
eventuality in Germany. The Amerl-
can Government itself cannot act d.
rectly, and there was no specif1catlon
slider he could take.
Three Courses Outlined.
Three possible methods Of assistance
were outlined unofflcially by financial
experts of the administration. These
we're: Unlimited credits by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York to the
Reichsbank. either by direct credits or
the honoring Of drafts: massing of
credits to Germany by private bankers;
indirect credits to Germany through
the Bank of England.
The Federal Reserve system Is an
organization independent Of the execu-
tive branch of the Government.
Whether the President would feel called
upon to suggest that 1t assist Germany
was not known tonight.
Acting Secretary Castle said some
days ago, the President could, II he de-
sired. make suggestions to the Federal
Reserve Board as to course Of action
in emergencies.
Banks Have Not Helped.
So far, officials pointed out, the pow
erful influence of American bankers
has played little or no part in the eff
forts to alleviate the situation in Ger
many State and Treasury Depart
ment officials said that in their CONVEX
sationS with the bankers, they had
found "a united sentiment" behind the
Presidents efforts. There was no doubt
in their minds that the bankers would
respond If called upon.
Word from Berlin that the German
government was contemplating drastic
domestic measures to meet the situation
was said to be In line with repeated
admenitions TO the Reich by other ma
tions Germany has been cautioned to
meet the situation so far as possible by
domestic measures.
Assistant Secretary Rogers OF the
State Department, speaking in the alb
sence Of Mr.. Castle, said yesterday the
question of moratorium on private
loans to Germany had not been dis
cusSed.
The establishment Of confidence
appeared tonight to be the thought
uppermost in the minds of American
officials.

Value of Achievements

NEW YORK, July 11.-Dr C. e. Ken
meth Mees, research director of the
Eastman Kodak Co.. Rochester, N. Y,
said today he seriously doubted whether
the modern farmer, with his radio and
market reports, tractors and fiivver, is
as happy as his predecessor Of 1000
years ago, in the valley Of the Nile.
DR.. Mees, speaking before the En-
cheering Foundation, research agency
Of major engineering societies, ques-
toned the value of science and en-
cheering.
'The one great gift Of science has
been the dimunition of disease" he
said
In few countries-especially in the
United States-machinery has dimin-
ished the heavy labor of the old-time
farmer and has added many comforts
to his domestic happiness. But it is
now undermining his status, and nay
perhaps end by eliminating him"

BERLIN [P).-DeSpite the seriousness
of her plight. Germany is not wholly
gloomy, desperate and out-at-the-el-
bows.
The superficial observer is likely to
be impressed by three things. He sees
plenty of luxury spending, plenty of
cash-bought public gayety in the big
city play places. He sees. in the streets
of the cities, crowds of we'll dressed
people who look substantial and at ease
with the world. He sees laughing par
ties of picnickers at swimming and boat
ing places these warm week ends.
These three factors are enough to
convince any one who doesn't go below
the surface that everything is well with
Germany, that she is merely crying
wolf
What is the truth?
Luxury in Bold Relief.
Start with TIE luxury Spender. In
the first place, they are common to all
nations at all times. Moreover, placed
against background of sober frugality
such as Germany now must live in, they
stand out in bold relief. The story OF
the 1922 imitation during which the
mark went crazy and economic laws
were repealed, is being repeated. There
are bound to be persons who remember
how that imitation wiped out their life
savings, and who say, therefore, that
you might as well enjoy your mark
while it still will buy something.
The superficial observer, looking at
the crowds of well dressed people in
the city streets, is likely to forget what
he himself would do if desperate hard
times hit him.
The German is doing what any one
would do. He is clinging to his polished
shoes, his properly pressed clothes and
his white collar because his natural
pride makes him want to look solvent
as long as he can.
The look Of solvency may be based
on a series of pawn tickets. But the
world needn't know that.
The throngs at the boating and
swimming places on week ends indicate
that plenty of Germans still have jobs
and still have cash. They are pleasant
gatherings to see, and they bear no
witness to impending financial crash.
Fear of Government.
The government is fearful that I'M
less something is done to relieve the
pressure on Germany, the songs sung by
the picnickers will turn into revolu-
tionary shouts.
There have been rumblings In the
same Berlin where the SplurgerS do
their bfg-time spending small groups of
the jobless periodically raid food stores
The Hitler movement, only short time
ago looked upon as threat turned into
semi-farce, again is taken with COM
plete seriousness.
To be sure. the yearly drain Of rep
arations payments may not be wholly
the cause of Germany's travail Ger
tainly some of the larger cities for
instance, floated too many bond issues
during the hopeful period from 1925
to 1927.
But, whatever the cause the effect is
apparent-apparent to President Hoover
and Ramsay Macdonald as well as to
any observer who cares to look beyond
Inter den Linden and PARSER PlatZ.
The surface extravaganza, the white
collars and the singing picnickers are
only part of the vast German canvas.

TTALY'S Ambassador to Washington,
Mobile Giacomo de MARITIME. is one
of the very rare foreign diplomats
i who can boast that he really knows
the American mentality. How does
he do it? It's all very simple: He sees
as many people as he can, reads as
much as possible and chins with every
body.
Signor de MARITIME is a passionate

hundreds of miles and when he is

BRIDE SEEKING
ANNULMENT

Mrs. Evelyn Brent Arlington,
4831 Sixteenth st. N. w., today
refuted charges of her husband,
Milton T. Arlington, 1880 Park
Rd. N. w., that her mother was
keeping them apart against her
will, by filing suit in District
Supreme Court asking that their
marriage be annulied.
Last month Mr.. Arlington
named his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Corinne Brent, in habeas corpus
proceedings, alleging that she
was illegally restraining his wife
from living with him.
The proceedings were sub
s-quentIy dismissed and it was
reported that the bride of less
than two months was to resume
her school work and if at the
end of the term, she wished to
live with her husband, she could
do so.
In the suit filed today through
Attorney Godfrey L. Munter, the
wife says that she went through
a ceremony of marriage with Mr..
Arlington at Ellicott City, Md,
last November Is while under his
domination and that she did not
realize what she was doing.
She also informs the court that
she was only II years of age at
the time and her mother did not
consent to the marriage, thereby
rendering the ceremony invalid.
