ATy cago Daily Copyright, BE . December 18—The drown- ing German people have grasped at three straws in the last few days and many of them now believe that {they are saved. The sudden rise of the German mark from 8500 to the dollar to 5,000, Premier Poincare's irenunciation of his intention to oc cupy the Rubr district and the pi sibility of an American and interna- tional loan of $1.500.000,000 have sent the barometer of Germany's feelings up to “optimism.” Even those who were violently opposed to Chancellor Cuno on the” ground that he was “capitalisti are now shouting. “Hoch Cuno:" In the Rhineland and the Ruhr in- dustrial district. from which the writer has just returned, the majority of the people are taking a new inter- est in life and their work.

December 18.—Radio mes- sages received today said the Greek mteamer Melpo, bound for this port from Immingham, was in need of as- sistance, with her steering gear dis- bled.

In Essen and Cologne it was sald_only a few days ago, that Stinnes, Thyssen, Kloeckner and other steel, iron and coal magnates were looking forward to Premier Polncare's carrying out his threat, as this would promote their working together with the great French industrialists, and they would get French francs and not German marks for a large part of their products. The developments of the last few days have disappointed them sorely, and if the international loan and reduction of reparations should| materialize, the Cuno cabinet should score heavily against Stinnes and his Thayer’s Printing Office Now Located at 909 12th St. N.W (12th Eye Sts.

BOOST TRADE Foreign Commerce Bureau Chief’s Report Would Extend Department’s Activities. Describing the past fiscal vear as “one of the most crucial periods in the history of the natlon’s foreign trade,” Jullus Klein, director of the bureau of foreign and domestlc com- merce of the Department of Commerce, in his annual report to Secretary Hoover, made public today, points tc the complete reorganization of the bu- reau as the prime factor, enabling it to help Amerlcan export interests with- stand the “Inroads of recovering Euro- pean competition in the world's mar- ket Following out the policy of “better with less meddling,” Director ys that the bureau now serves business on & commodity basis, through seventeen new divisions which special- ize in America's great eyport products of the factorles and farms. These divisions are headed by sales experts selected by the trades themselves and guided in their work by about seventy committees, composed of business men representing more than 150,000 manu- facturers and merchants in the leading export industries of the country. Inxures Muximum Service. This arrangement insures a maximum service to each industry at @ minimum outlay of time. labor and mon In addition to the commodity divi- sions, the reorganization program in- cluded the creation of a division of commercial law and a transportation division so that business men could be supplicd with expert and technicul advice in those complicated fields of xport effort. The bureau's reglonal divisions also were expanded. The number of requests for infor- mation on foreign trade problems and questions has increased from 1.000 a day to 3,000 a day, the report states, and moro than 50,000 merchants and manufacturers have called during the year at the divisional offices of the bureau seeking advice and data. Need More Experts. In concluding his report Dr. Klein states that if the bureau is to carry on and enlarge its work in the man- ner demanded by the economic situa- tion and of the country fts activities should be extended to cover the study and promotion of domestic commerce, Its foreign service should be strength- ened by the establishment of offices in new markets. Experts in com- modities not vet specifically pro- vided for, such as tobacco, grain and manufacturer specialties, should be added to its present staff to meet the increasing demands of the trades. The salaries of many statutory positions should be increased conwsiderably, otherwise the bureau will continue to lose some of its more valuable help, he says. 1t is also recommended in the re- port that the government's statisti- cal organization be transferred from the Treasury Department to the De- partment of Commerce so that quick- er and more complete information as to the status of the country’s exports could be given oLt at any time. — DENY REID’S SPELL IS DRUG COLLAPSE (Continued from First Page.) sympathetically try to help him, try to restore him to health.” 116 DECLARED “UNSAFE.” Producers Refused to Co-Operate to Curb Orgies, Report Says. Special Dispatch to The Star. LOS ANGELES, Calif., December 18. —Several months ago a group of clean, high-minded and consclentious men, all occupying responsible po- sitions in the motion picture world, under promise of co-operation by the {men in control of motion picture pro- iduction in Hollywood, made an earn- | est effort of clean house from the in- side. They conducted a painstaking tn- | vestigation of the private lives and habits of the members of the film colony in Hollywood, whose names are prominently linked with the In- dustry. As a result of this investiga- tion thev prepared a list of “unsafe” persons. chiefly actors or directors, then in motion pi The list con- tained 117 names list was to be directed to the attention of the heads of production with the recommenda- tion that the persons named therein should be denied further employment at the studios. ireets List With Frown. Confldent in the promise of co- operation so readily given them when the matter of reforming the motion picture industry from the inside was broached, the members of this com- mittee approached the head of pro- duction of one of the larger motion picture concerns. He received them smiling, took the list and glanced at it. Then a frown replaced the smile. “You men should know that you are asking the impossible,” he said. “Why, it would mean at least a two-million- dollar loss to us to do a thing like that in the case of this one man. We are willing to do our part, of course, but a thing like that would simply be suicidc. we must remember that we are prac- tical men and business men.” The name at the head of the list was Wallace Reld. The reason given for placing him on the list was that hs was a drug addict, and was known to use seven kinds of narcotlcs. List Filed Away.

Failing to gain the co-operation of such a powerful figure in motion picture production as the man they had gone to first with their list made their efforts hopeless. The list was filed away for safekeeping. Today “Wallie” Reid, one of the mo!l‘ popular actors of the screen, is a fallen idol. The fact that Reld was addicted to drugs hasn't been news in Hollywood for more than two years. He was a good fellow, though, and his ovn worst ‘nemy, and no newspaper man who knew Reld was williug to “break” the story. But now that the truth has found its way into print, it is just as well that the full truth should be known, and how the present ecandal about Reid could have been avoided through farsighted- ness and a higher regard for moral fiber than for mere dollars on tne part of men who control the making of motion pictures. Reld Making Game Fight. Wallace Reid’s name has been check- od off on the list of “unsafe” persons prominent in motion plcture produc- tion. He is making a hard and game fight to come back free from the drug and liquor habit and deserves all sym- pathy. But will he again take his Dplace as an actor for the screen? Prob- ably not. That leaves only 116 names on the list of “unsafe” ones in motion picture productions, with only 116 potential scandals in store to blast further reputations among screen players, di- rectors and producers and reflect upon the entire industry. Probably any call bov in the motion picture studios could rattle off at I these names at the first asking, among the very first would mention the name of a woman star, better known, perhaps, than Wallace Reid— a fascinating little actress who has already had her innings with unde- sirable publicity—as among the “hop- heads” of the studios. 116 Remain on List. Only 116 names on the list—persons {of bad habits and worse ussociates, persons lacking in moral responsi- bility, and all liable at any time to bring disrepute to the motion picture industry—all listed and catalogued. But are they moneymakers for the producers? Aye, there's the rub. Will there be a change in conditions? _Will Hays, ruling head of the mo- tion picture industry, happens to be in Los Angeles right now. He w on the ground when one of 1Mol wood's scandals broke right under his nose. And he is not at all happy over it. The Reid scandal caaght him unawares. It was put up to him. Heo has been quoted and misquoted at length-—chiefly misquoted. Al that he really said when the matter was first brought to his attention was that there was nothing for him to say except that he joined with others in hcping that Reid will win back his health and be himself again.

The departure of the king's garri- son and the installation of the free state troops was accomplished with a remarkable display of fraternity and $00d will.
