GERMAN OFFER ON PAYMENT RENEWED Germany's reparation obligations.” “If the French government sincere- ly desires to receive positive pledges for German deliveries after the expl- ration of the moratorium, we can find a way of reaching an under-{ standing. But no differentiation must be made between the Rhineland and Ruhr on one hand and the German reich gm the other. “Germany cannot accept as a basis for a solution of the reparation ques- tion even a temporary plefiging of the Ruhr or a transfer of the Rhineland railways and collieries, or other prop- erty in the Rhineland or Ruhr, as suggested by documents 23 and 25 of | the French yellow book.” “~~ Chancellor Cuno's reparation offer made on May 2, last proposed the payment of a total indemnity of 30 billion gold marks or $7,500,000,000 by Germany, this amount to be paid by 1931 with the aid of international loans. This offer proved unacceptable to any of the allies, and in an amend- datory note forwarded June 7, the chancellor proposed a systme of an- nual payments by Germany of 1,200, 000,000 marks beginning in 1927, if an international loan were not available for immediate capital payments. The number of these annuities was left undetermined, As a guarantee for the annuities Germany proposed the plecging of the federal railway system, capital- red at” 107000;000 “marns; while a further 10,000;000,000 marks would be guaranteed by a gold five per cent mortgage on the entire business, in- dustry, banking, trace traffic and agriculture of the counrry. Certain customs and excise duties also were proposed as pledges. This offer was never formally acted toon by the allies. ee SWEEP SPAIN MADRID, Aug., 24—A Spanish regi- ment mutinied at Malaga on Wednes- day as it was about to embark for Mel- illa, Morocco.

In editorial and opinion the motorist has been warned against excessive speed at any time. He has been asked by prominent bus!- ness men to keep his car under con- trol constantly. He has been warned against faulty brakes and untrue headlights. He has been asked to consider the pedestrian constantly while driving in the downtown section. In editorial and opinion, the pedestrian has been cautioned against crossing any busy thorough- fare without looking right and left. He has been asked to confine his crossing to the intersections, and not to attempt to gain the other side of the street by the middle of the block route. He has heen warned against teasing a motorist by allowing him to come as close as possible without actually striking him. He has been asked by promi- nent business men to consider the motorist at all time while walking in the downtown section. In this way, the Tribune and the Casper automobile dealers and those who have loyally supported the campaign, both financially and morally, hope that they have suc- ceeded in establishing between the motorist and the pedestrian & greater understanding, All of us are pedestrians at some time and most of us motorists at another, so the understanding should be com- plete.

Mrs. Wiggin was said to have failed to fully recover from the effects of an operation which she underwent shortly after her arrival. Her husband, George C. Riggs, !s understood to be on the way here from the United States. ‘The novelist was taken ill on her voyage to England last June and went to a nursing home in Liverpool for treatment. Her condition, however, was not regarded as critical and in a few days word came from the insti- tution that she was able to spend much of her time out of doors. — Undertakers In No Hurry.

HILD RANSOM ASKED IN NOTE NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—Police to day were attempting to locate the vriters of two letters received yester day by Peter McKenzie, father of three months old Lillian, who was kidnaped from a Manhattan street last Saturday, Each letter, one from oklyn and one from Rutherford, J., arked for $1,000 ransom. E © do not attach impo the Rutherford létter whi to have been written by a much lunatic, according to Mr. McKenzie, but they seemed greatly interested in the one from Brooklyn, ‘This letter declared Lillian had been stolen “just because of all the dirty tricks you did me.” Tho father said he knew of no One whom he had injured. ‘The other letter, written in purple ink, was signed “K, K.

Two fatal acct- dents occurred during the week.” But, is this statement true? Did not those two accidents bring the truth before the people with a hun- dred times the force of a safety editorial?

On the other hand, he said, the governor did not feel that the public interests would be served through another at- tempt on its part to intervene in the deadlock, Chairman Hammond and other commission members, said thelr hope in an eleventh hour settlement was based solely upon the view that neither side could afford to stop pro- duction. Formal assurance has been re- ceived, Mr. Hammond said, from operators representing ninety per cent of the soft coal output, that those mines would increase produc- tion to meet the excess needs in a strike and that these supplies would be disposed of to the public at price levels to be détermined “reasonable” by some delegated government agency.
