CAUSES NATION TO
VIRTUE IN AGONY
French Demand important Po-
Iitica| Concessions in Return
for Financial Aid .
MANY LEAVING COUNTRY
Demand for Foreign Currency
Increasing; President Of Big
Bank on Way Home

Germany was at an economic
crossroads Saturday, according to
Associated Press dispatches.
Faced with demands that it give
important political concessions be-
fore France would join in extending
financial help, the Reich was faced
with steady withdrawals of foreign
money.
Many Germans wer exchanging
domestic currency for American dol
lars and an exodus of German
moneyed families to Switzerland was
reported.
At the same time President Paul
Won Hindenburg and Chancellor
Bruening were quoted as having said
they would resign rather than SUBJ
NIT to French domination.
The French terms for the loan
were submitted to Hans Luther,
president of the Reichsbank, in Paris
Friday. He returned home Saturday
to talk with his companions. The
amount of the loan sought is $780,
900, 1000.
Upon his arrival in Berlin Luther
talked with government officials and
then announced there was no hope
of obtaining help from France on
terms acceptable to the German gov
eminent. On Sunday Luther will
60 to Basel, Switzerland, for a meet
ing of World Bank directors.
The political situation in Germany
is aggravated by the coalition of the
Hitler and Hugenberg forces into a
united Nationalist opposition" to
the present government. This fac
ton seeks to overthrow all the agree
ments entered into under the treaty
of Versailles.
The sticking point in the financial
negotiations at Paris is reported to
have been the French demand that
Germany renounce all ideas of econ
omlc or political union with Austria
and that she cease construction of
vest-pocket battleships, a new tyne
OF small w~ar-craft designed by Ger
many in accord with the restrictions
of the Versailles treaty.
The French explained their atti-
tude by saying they merely were de-
mandlng guarantees of security.
Wade Werner, Associated Press
correspondent at Berlin, said the at
tltude of the ha~rd-pressed German
people approached, in some sections,
a state Of hysteria.
Meanwhile. at London, Prime Min
lister Ramsay Macdonald said the
British are going to next years dis
armament conference at Geneva ode
termined by appeals to pledges, to
history and to common sense to per-
suade the nations to reduce this
enormous and disgraceful burden" of
armament.

WILL SERVE TERM IN WEST
New Mexico Veteran Has Only
Few Days Of Liberty Left as
Last Hope Fades

Washington, July 11.-R-Albert
B. Falls seven-year attempt to escape
prison Saturday failed definitely.
The former secretary Of the interior
has only a few more days Of liberty.
Justice Bailey in the District Of Co.
lumbia supreme court gave him q
chance to serve his sentence Of q year
in q western prison.
After the court had refused to sus-
pend the sentence, Frank Hogan,
Falls attorney. moved to modify the
sentence to add a day to the year
given Fall. This would give the at
torney general the power to name the
prison where the former cabinet Of
ficer will serve time for accepting q
bride of $100,OO0 from Edward L. Do
heny.
Justice department officials, speak
ing informally, expressed the opinion
that addition of a day to Falls SEN
tence and his possible incarceration
I'm a federal ~penitentiary would not
deprive him later Of his rights as q
United States citizen.
Justice Bailey said he wanted tt
pass on the matter next Monday. HI
said there had been no materta
change in Falls condition since hi
was convicted in 1929 and that a sus.
pension of sentence would in effec'
mean that the former secretary o.
| the interior would escape punishment
He added that the danger to Fall,
health by imprisonment seemed large
lv that which would result if he Wert
brought from Ell Paso to Washington.

Holds Contests Are Contrary to
Law; Are Postponed In.
til July IS

There will be no automobile races
at the Bismarck Fair Grounds Sun
day.
They have been postponed for the
second time until $50 p. m. Wednes-
day. July Is.
The. long arm of the law reached
out to put a ban on the Sunday pro-
gram when States Attorney George
s. Register issued an ultimatum Sat-
urday morning that the races were
contrary. to law and that he had in
structed Sheriff j. L. Kelley to en-
force the statute relative to racing on
Sundays.
Barney Sullivan, manager Of the
races, said Saturday moo that he
had no choice but to abide by the de-
cision of the states attorney whose
edict was upheld by IN opinion from
the attorney general as to the validity
Of the law prohibiting racing on Sun
day.
Sullivan said that he was willing to
put on the races free of charge in
view of the fact that there were more
than TOO ticketholders who were en-
titled to free entrance but that priv
lege had been denied him. He ex-
planned that those who had attended
the races on the Fourth Of July were
to be admitted free because Of the
fact that part Of the program ut that
time had to be postponed because Of
rain.
Sullivan said he had hoped to stage
the races in Morton county but that
details could not be completed in
time for the evening papers to advise
residents Of the community II the
races were to be held.
He said that he had promised work
to more than SO local persons who
were to be employed at the grounds
Sullivan said he had originally in
tended to hold the races ON Saturday
but had changed the date to Sunday
at the request of local merchants who
believed that the affair would impair
the regular Saturdays trade.
Drivers and cars will remain In the
city over Sunday and will leave fol
Fargo Monday where they are expect
ed to compete in races at the state
fair grounds. They will return here
