Everywhere in the capital, house- wives were desperately obtaining bread in anticipation of a further rise on Monday of the cost to cor- respond with the dropping mark. In many parts of the city, bread wagons were held up by groups of determined civilians who forced drivers to sell their meagre supplies theaply with advice that they hed better #ell at a low price thah have the bread taken from them. In the Friederischahain quarter where many workmen have. their homes, rioting broke aut early in the day, but was supressed before it assumed serious proportions.

Into this annual supply goes 600 tons of spruce wood, 400 tons of coal, 18% tons of unslacked lime, 12% tons of sulphur, 12% tons of bleaching powder, and a certain amount of red and blue dyes. An conservative figure on the net cost of newsprint to the Casper ‘Tribune is 6% cents a pound. One week — $1,000; one year—$52,000. Who says it doesn’t cost much for the paper the news is printed on? Not only paper but ink, wet and black and heayy, is needed when the presses begin to shoot out the Tribune with the machine gun yelocity of 30,000 an hour. Two 500-pound barrels a month are used in carrying the imprint of the type to the white, rolling sheet. In a year 24 barrels weighing six tons have been consumed. At 12% cents a pound this yearly supply. costs about $1,500. This morning’s Tribune, pfling'the buddies In the George W. Vroman Post of the American “ Legion, of Which he {s post chaplain.

By JOHN DE GANT (United Press Staff Correspondent) PARIS, Nov. 3.—Premier Poincare is still strongly op- posed to any reduction of any German reparations debt and will not. allow it to be discussed at the pro- posed expert inquiry unless the Unite? States will discuss reduction of France's debt, it was sald today. * Following separate conferences with United States Ambassador Herrick and the British ambassador, Lord Crewe, today, the Qual d’Orsay indicated the ‘premier’s mind was not changed, Another statement of the French case was expected tomorrow when Poincare speaks at five ceremonies in towns that were tn the fighting zone during the war. It was annovneod that the visit of Ambassador Merrick was purely one of courtesy made by Herrick on his return to Paris, but well-Inform- ed persons believed the conversation had dwelt much of the time on the burnitig topfe of the day—the rep- arations inquiry. Poincare said after the vistt of Lord Crewe “we were trying to reach an accord regarding the terms of the invitation of the Untted States.” It was learned on good authority that the British ambassador had re- newed the etforts being made by his government to widen the scope of the proposed conference as laid down by Poincare in his speech at Nevers. There was no indication that Poincare hmd yielded. The premier was aid to believe that discussion ot the capacity of Germany to pay would be worse than useless, be- cause they could not tale Into a count Germany's powere of recupec- n and France's, inabfity to ac- that would probably ud put her In a false ot the ight The only offer that coult budge him from this position, {t was thought, would be one from the United States to allow the French debt to be linked up with the, repar- ations problem, so that a reduction in one would accompany a reduc- tion of the other, Persons {n touch with high polft- ical circles pointed out today that no French statesman at the moment could survive politically if he gare up reparations without getting some very sul atial concessions in re- turn.
