Aug. 13.— *\—The great statesmen of six powers this afternoon took their efforts to settle the post-war prob- lems of Europe out of the limelight and attempted to reach a compromise of disputed provisions of the Young Plan in the privacy of their hotel apartments. While the experts of the conference discussed the deadlock be- tween Great Britain and her allies over British demands for an increased share of German reparations, the heads of the French. British, Belgian and German delegations met to talk over the date for evacuation of the | Rhineland. Officially, no dates have been even mentioned yet. but the chiefs of the | delegations carefully consulted their ! military advisers before beginning discussion this afternoon. !

SPANISH MANIFESTO ATTACKING PREMIER (S-ISSUED BY UNION ‘Thirsting for Liberty and Jus- tice, and Will Not Be De- ceived by Promises’ Madrid, Aug. 13—(AP)—A mani- festo to the Spanish people strongly attacking Premier Primo De Rivera was issued by the gencral labor union in session here immediately after the convention had refused to accept the government's invitation to send five representatives to the national as- sembly. The vote was overwhelmingly against accepting the government's invitation. Observers attach much Political significance to the labor union's action. The manifesto opposes and severely criticises the proposed new Spanish constitution. “The Spanish people. thirsting for j liberty and justice, will not be de- ceived by false promises of social re- forms in the new constitution,” the manifesto declares. The Spanish working classes are becoming stronger and better organ- ized constantly, says the document, and will not forget “our goal is so- | clalization of the country’s resources, We aspire to free democratic repub- lican government.” The manifesto says the new con- stitution gives excessive and arbitrary Powers to the king.

Aug. 13.—/)}—Great Brit | ain would like her troops home from { | the Rhineland by Christmas if pos- sible. But well-informed observers in London today believed no new fact | or decision had been reached on the | Question of carly evacuation of the | Rhineland, in London or at the | Hague. The British government's position is described as very simple. It would | like to evacuate British troops before the end of the year but preferred | evacuation to be the result of a gen- cral agreement with France and Belgium. Authoritative observers were unwill- ing to comment on what would happen if no agreement could be con- cluded between the three allies. In_ general, observers were confident the Hague conference would reach an agreement on the principle of evacua- | tion at an early date and on adop- tion of the Young plan, |WEIGHED 128; HE GAINS 13 POUNDS _ “I gained thirteen pounds, my old- \time strength and energy have re- turned and all my troubles were overcome by this wonderful Sargon treatment. “*For five years I suffered from all the dis- | tress that goes with = stomach trouble, My liv- er was out oJ order and I hal severe head- aches and bilious attacks, My got so couldn't leep and would {be all fagged out in the morn- ings.

The committeemen are understood, however, to have agreed tentatively to! recommend the 10 per cent impost on | hides voted by the house and to em- | ploy that as a basis for their decisions | with respect to leather and shoes. | The house bill calls for rates of 12% | per cent to 30 per cent on leathers \d 20 per cent on shoes, but the sen- | ators have indicated a disposition to | { raise some of the leather rates while reducing others and cutting down the Proposed impost on shoes. After disposing of these commod- ities they will still be confronted with the even more controversial problem of sugar duties. Opposition to the | house rate of 2.40 cents a pound on Cuban raw sugar, as compared with 1.76 cents in the present law, is find- | ing expression in both Republican and Democratic ranks, and a long! contest in the senate over this ques- tion is considered certain. i Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, | who doesn't like the house rate nor the sliding scale idea, has estimated the house rate would add $443,000,000 @ year to the price of sugar, as com- nally failed to meet expectations in respect to speculation” and that the | “federal reserve board's own state- | ments made the fact absolutely clear.” | | j | Fire Chief Frank Jaynes of Roches-* ter, N. ¥., has served in every disas- trous battle of his department for 55 FLIT kill: Mosquitoes Travel Bargain California One way special chair car and coach excursions ve.
