GERMANY TO TAKE YOUNG PLAN VOTE Reichstag Votes Down Bill to Reject Proposal for Debt Settlement. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, November 30.—The German Reichstag today overwhelmingly voted down the Nationalists' bill for rejection of the Young plan, which had been | brought before the Reichstag after a plebiscite had given it only a little more than the necessary tenth of the electorate. The bill will now be put before the country in a referendum, in which it must obtain 20,000,000 affirmative votes. ‘This is generally conceded to be impos- sible, and the final defeat of the Nation- alists’ efforts to block the Young plan is expected on December 22, when the referendum is held. The Reichstag, after digesting the eloquent speech of Foreign Minister Curtius in favor of the Young plan, dealt a heavy blow to Alfred Hugen- berg and other Nationalist leaders. They failed to rally even the whole strength of the parties that supported the plebiscite. The first of the four principal sec- tions of the bill was defeated by 318 to 82 votes, with four abstentions. The second was voted down by acclamation and the notorious “prison clause” got only 60 votes. This clause exposed ministers who signed the Young plan to prosecution for high treason. ,PRESS}EBUKE APPLAUDED Rumanian Chamber Told of At- tacks on Former Prince Carol. By the Associated Press. BUCHAREST, Rumania, November 30.—The Chamber tonight greeted with loud applause criticism of the Ruma- nian press by Father Man, who pointed out that the love affairs of former Prince Carol had often been the butt of attacks. “Young King Michael,” he said, “will one of these days begin to read news- papers and as a loyal son it will be his duty to uphold the reputation of his father. How great will be his sorrow when he finds his memory constantly besmirched! It behooves the govern- ment to punish detractors of Carol and thereby maintain the prestige of the crown and country.” Gt PALAIS ROYAL A gift that will have a life-long influence on your children!

ROME, November 30.—Discoveries made by Prof. Ugolini in the excava- tions on the site of the ancient Roman colony of Buthrinto in Albania, far ex- ceed any ever undertaken since the days of the great archeologist Ci- riaco Dancona, who in 1418 journeyed to Albania to inspect the ancient sites. Last year an Italian mission located the Acropolis and then excavated im- portant remains, including a rare mar- biehead goddess which was presented this year to Il Duce. ‘The present excavations include the discovery of the Temple Esculapius, with two ‘“celle,” vast central halls where numerous statues are standing, also inscriptions and a votive trenc) where 300 votive objects were found. Further excavations brought to light a well preserved Greek theater of the third century before Christ with the staging dating to the days of imperial Rome. On the facade were inscrip- tions of historical importance of the finest kind ever found. The statues were originally a part of the decora- tion of the stage. Some were Greek sculpture of the school of Praxiteles, others were fine Roman work. One of especially great value was inscribed “Great Hercules.” A head was found resembling Augustus when young. evi- dently part of a statue, and also a statue of Agrippa. Archaeological discoveries of even more importance are expected when ex- cavations are presumed in the Spring- time, as it is probable they may find many hidden treasures mentioned by Virgil in writing of the temple of into. ,‘;cun(?yrn‘:m. 1929, New York Tribune, Inc.)
