BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The State Department disclosed to-
day that protests have been made to
the German government through
Ambassador Sackett against reported
indignities and violence involving
American citizens.
In reply, the German government
expressed its keen regret and gave as
Surances every measure would be taken
to prevent similar occurrences.
The cases were understood to have
arisen from disorders in connection
with the recent election in which the
by Adolf Hitler. was given command
ing power.
Incidents Reported.
Four incidents were reported involv-
ing American citizens. The individuals
named were Henry H. Sattler, Edwin
F. Dakin, Nathaniel s. Wolff and Max
Schussler. Their plates of origin or
residence In the United States were
not given in the dispatch from the
Berlin embassy and were not imme-
diately available at the State Depart
ment.
Two distinct protests were made and
after the second the German foreign
ONCE said the matter had been called
to the personal attention Of the Cham
cellor and each member of his cabinet
The cases Of Sattler, Dakin and Wolff
were the subject of q protest by Am
bassador Sackett on March 7.
Sattler and Dakin, described as Amer
lean citizens, temporarily residing In
Berlin, were said to have been subjected
to violence or intimidation by armed
National Socialist groups.
Wolff contended he had been Wr-
tually kidnapped, bound and held in
communicate for three hours.

proceeding against one Of his tenants

FRANCE CONSIDERS
j. s. DEBT PAYMENT
DaIadier Is Believed Giving
Serious Thought to Over.
due InstaIIment.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

BY Radio to The Star.
PARIS, France, March 9-The posi-
bility was revived today that France
may soon make its delayed December
war debt payment of $ls,261, 1872 to the
United States.
1t is believed the government, headed
by the Radical-Socialist Edouard Dalai
dier, is thinking seriously along these
lines France would thus attempt to
demonstrate by q concrete gesture its
friendliness toward President Roosevelt
and the, American reople, rs well as
its desire to cooperate closely with the
United States for world peace and eco
nomic restoration.
New Argument Available.
The dificulty will be to find a way
to convince the French Chamber Of
Deputies to reverse its attitude conSe-
quent on which the previous cabinet
under Edouard Herriot fell.
1t Is believed, however, the fact that
President Roosevelt is not excluding
France from the forthcoming war debt
negotiations can be presented here as q
new fact justifying . new attitude on
Frances part.
Among other things France earnestly
hopes and believes the United States
will find way to remain on the gold
standard. The Bank Of France seems
willing to cooperate with the Federal
Reserve Bank unrestrainedly to this
end.
Vast Short Position.
Estimates indicate there Is now a
vast short position on the dollar in
Europe's three principal exchanges
Paris London and Amsterdam. This
position in Paris alone. which, of course,
includes orders from all over Europe. is
estimated at around $l20 100000.
It Is believed. therefore, that II Pres
ident Roosevelt's energetic measures re-
suit in a sufficient restoration of conf
dence in the United States, the combi-
nation Of French and American banks
can easily keep the dollar at gold par
abroad and give the shorts bad time.

JEHOL CITY, Jehol with the Japa-
aese Army, March 9 CP).-A 25o-mile
Journey across Jehol with the advane-
ing japanese force during the past week
disclosed a series of practically deserted
villages with 95 per cent of the build
ings shattered and only the aged and
children visible when the japanese
troops arrived.
Closely In the wake Of the victorious
army were Manchukuos publicity
wagons" loaded with quaint, gaudy
posters proclaiming the Japanese-ad-
yised government Of Manchukuo an
earthly paradise.
City walls were placarded Whlle
troops were still marching in and pro-
fessional Chinese speaking propaganda
lists harrangued the remaining populace.
urging It to support Manchukuo ana
promising liberation from what was
termed the corruption and exactions OF
Chinese war lords
The conduct of the Japanese was ex-
emplary. They paid for whatever they
used and were billeted In only unoc-
cupied buildings.
q The lightning Japanese drive scat
tered the CnlneSe armed Uuuus
throughout the countryside and it may
take months to eradicate this menace.
Behind the troops came groups OF
Manchukuo oficials. taking over Offices
in the towns and cities deserted by the
Chinese. The utmost confusion prevails
In the administration Of the conquered
territory which is to be state in the
year -old Manchurial nation.
The japanese drive which began II
days ago, was completed in the nick OF
time. Roads and rivers already are
thawing and shortly they will be i'm
passable.
Two American flags over q mission a,
LingyuAn and q nearby underground
shelter possibly saved an American
missionary and . number Of Chinese
children from being victims OF the
japanese aerial attack on that town
last week.
z The Missionary, Miss Harriet F. Minis
OF Buffalo, N. Y, and two British CO.
workers made the flags by hand. They
marched the Chinese children to the
;bheltef.
japanese bombing planes spared the
mission and shelter.
Miss Minis was the only American
n Jehol Province.
