GERMAN FINANCES
SEEM ON UPGRADE
Nervousness Vanishing, but Ru-
mored Talk of New Loans
Is Discounted.
Ry Cable to The Star.

By Cable to The Star.
BERLIN, Germany. December 10
The comparative stabilization OF Ger
man finances is unquestionably causing
abatement of the worldwide nervous
ness that prevailed from the time OF
the bank crash in the Summer OF 1881
to the reparation agreement in the
Summer of 1882. But temporarily
there can be no talk of fresh loans TO
Germany, as has been rumored.
The maximum which can be said is
that foreigners are showing greater
willingness to leave their funds in this
country-which they have already lent,
especially as, on the German side, there
is a growing feeling that the clause In
the stand-stin agreement allowing
creditors to receive marks for loans
made in foreign exchange and invest
them in Germany may be further ex-
tended to the creditors benefit.
A real surprise to mere bookkeepers
is, however, the fact that the position
of the Reichsbank's gold and exchange
reserve has remained virtually con-
slant for some months to a degree
which the sharp shrinkage In export
surplus cannot account for.
It is notable that two great problems
which have been preoccupying the Ger
mans are still undecided. The first Is
whether state capitalism will be further
extended to the detriment Of private
business, or whether the state win dis
gorge some of its many holdings and.
by curbing monopoIies' restore some
thing of capitalistic fiexibility.
The second problem Is whether the
manufacturing or farm interests IN
Germany are going to be paramount.
This means whether the country is
going to try to sustain its export trade
or increase its economic self-sufficiency.
Until solution TO these problems
becomes clear, no betterment Of the
German credit position can be anything
but an error In perspective.

The story of the recent purchase by
the Post Office Department Of two ex-
pensive automobiles because Postmaster
General Brown could not wear his top
hat in the first one was disclosed today
when the departments 1888 appropria-
ton bill was reported to Congress.
The reasons leading to the purchase
of the two cars, which had been the
subject of some criticism, were set forth
by Mr.. Brown at a hearing last month
before the House Subcommittee on Ap-
preparations. The criticism was di-
rected toward the purchase Of an ex-
pensive car for general utility purposes
in the department.

LONG BEACH, Calf, December 10.
Detectives announced today a new
link had been forged in the chain Of
circumstantial evidence by which they
hope to connect william James (Cur-
ley) Guy, 24-year-old Britisher, with
the Staying of Capt. Walter Wanderwell.
In the presence of police, Miss Marion
Smith of Rockmart, Ca, positively
identified Guy as 'the mysterious
stranger in gray" who had boarded the
yacht Carma last Monday night and
inquired for Wanderwen a few minutes
before the body of Wanderwell was
found in one of the darkened cabins
of the ship.
I'm positive-he's the mani" ex-
claimed Miss Smith as Guy faced her.
She then collapsed.

Detectives said Miss Smiths identi-
flcation led them today to seek mur-
der complaint from the district attor-
ney's office. Such a complaint was re-
fused yesterday by Deputy Clarence
Hunt, who said there. was insufficient
evidence to bring Guy I'd trial.
In explaining her identification, Miss
Smith said she had two chances to OBJ
serve the man who came aboard the
Carma as the craft was on the eve of
its departure ON a contemplated world
cruise. Miss Smith was one of the
adventurers recruited by Wanderwell
to make the voyage
When the stranger came aboard the
boat I saw him the first time as he
halted momentarily at the doorway"
she said. He was going by on his
way to the portfolio, from where he
inquired for Wanderwell. I had good
look at him at that time. A moment
later I had another look at him when
his face appeared at the portfolio to
the dining room. am positive the
man I saw is the man here"

the Carma Monday night. Three other
members of the crew said they were
almost positive" Guy was the man
they saw aboard the ship.
A coroner's jury yesterday decided
Wanderwell had been slain by gun
shot wounds inflicted by an unknown
person on the ship, Carma, docked at
Long Beach," The verdict added that
From the evidence produced we find
the killing to have been with homi-

LEGAL WINE ASKED
FOR USE AT MEALS
Appeal Made at Hearing by
Spokesman of $4,000
Grape Growers.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Legalization of naturally fermented
wines, but only for use at meals, was
advocated before the House Ways and
Means Committee today by the Grape
Growers League of California.
The witness, Marion Devries of this
city, insisted Congress has power to
hold such wines mountaineering, and
said "wine for use at meals will be sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court"
wine Is not a saloon drink" he de-
clared.
Representative Lea. California, DEM
ocrat, contending for wines along with
beer in the Collier bill. counseled the
committee that, unless Congress repeals
the eighteenth amendment and modi-
fles the volstead act, "the storm that
swept this country on November will
have been a mere zephyr"
to defy the will Of rs per cent?" he
asked, after advocating approval for
naturally fermented wines.
Consumption of wine before prohi-
bition was 100000 gallons a year, he
said, which increased Immediately to
more than 100000, 900 gallons"
He called 1t stupid system" which
permits the making of wine In the
home and denies it being made in a
scientific way at wineries"
Other spokesmen for grape growers
Of New York, New Jersey and Ohio as
well as California added their indorse-
ment to the Collier bill, which in its
present form would legalize 2.75 beer
and naturally fermented wines.
On Monday and Tuesday representa-
testimony in opposition to the BILL
Mills Appearance Delayed.
Chairman Collier said "the Treasury
is investigating the subject and will
not be able to complete its investigation
until Wednesday," by way of explana-
ton that Secretary Mills would not ap-
pear today, as had been planned. Once
the testimony is all in, the committee
will 60 into executive session to decide
whether to agree on bill to recon-
mend for early House action.
De Vries began his testimony by say
ing he represented $4,000 grape pro-
ducers.
Representative Treadway, Republican,
of Massachusetts then asked II he was
ready to contend that naturally fer
mented wine IS not intoxicating?"
It am ready to say that when wine
is used with meals 1t Is not intoxica-
tion," De Vries replied.
Wine Is not a saloon drink. We are
going to propose an amendment to the
Collier bill to provide that consumption
of wine be limited to use at meals"
He said the grape growers were not
seeking to legalize all wines, but only
those that are fermented naturally.
Port and sherry and other fortified
wines would not be included, he said.

Berlin Declares Reich Arms
Having Nothing to Do With
French Security.
VERSAILLES REVISION
IS PURPOSE OF POLICY
Destruction of War Settlement
Treaty Is Real Aim of Reich
Arms Policy.
BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER.

BY Gable to The Star
BERLIN, Germany, December TO-
Germany's right to an equal armament
status is an autonomous right and has
nothing to do with French security ex-
cept in so far as equal disarmament
itself creates that security. So long as
the French couple new security plan
with acceptance of the German equality
claims, the German representatives will
not be able to participate in the Dis
armament Conference.
This is approximately the official
German standpoint. To all who live
here it is obvious that the Germans
would not accept equality in armaments
at the cost of the stabilization of the
European situation.
Aimed Against Treaty.
The chief aim of the German equal
ity claim is not merely the possession
of an equally strong military force. It
has little to do with the satisfaction of
any moral claims of the German people
Equal armament is desired by the
present German rulers primarily as a
step to what is often called total re-
vision" of the treaty of Versailles Any
attempt to make it appear otherwise is
camouf1age.
Already military circles state that the
time has come for the Germans them
selves to admit this fact and thereby
provoke world capitalization around the
revision question, for or against.
Program Well Defined.
One of the three editors of the mill
tary weekly, DeutSche Wehr, the for
mer Rear Admiral Reinhart Gatow,
writes in yesterdays number:
European reconstruction must not
prove possible under the Versailles
regime. For, should it succeed, then
the peace treaty is justified, the new
order has proved its worth and revision
would be excluded and no one would
second Germany's demand for it.
"A preliminary condition for total
treaty revision is that the Germans
understand who are their enemies and
what are the weapons hereby they
are being kept down .ud that they
manifest their will TO, revision and a
new order in Europ5 as part Of a
clearly defined program"

had nothing on 9-year-old John
Fletcher, who carried bullet imbedded
in his chest near his heart for three
days before telling his mother.

shoot the rodent Wednesday at the
Fletcher farm on Polish Mountain, 10
miles east of here

heart. An older brother, Walter, 90,
was present, but none Of them would
say word about it to their mother,

chest until last night when his brothers
finally broke their silence and notified
their mother. She asked assistance of
Allegany County officials, who brought
the boy to Memorial Hospital here.
The bullet was removed from his
chest. Although the boys condition was
considered serious, hospital physicians
said they believe he will recover.
Walter was afraid to notify their
mother, Mrs. Lillian Fletcher. until last
night, when the little brothers condi-
ton became alarming. Then she was
telephoned.
The wounded lad goes to Flintstone
Agricultural High School, his home be-
ing on Polish Mountain, on the Ma
tional Highway, near that place. He
said he wanted to 60 to school, but he
had no way to get word to his teacher.

to the hospital, where DR.. Grover C.
Blake and DR.. Herbert v. Deming OPP
Grated.
The boy said the revolver belonged
to a man named Lang" who left it at
the house and it had been used before
in shooting at rats.
