Entrain. London, May 2 (By Associated Press).—M. Jusserand, the French ambassador in Washington, has tele- graphed here the outline of a con- versation he has had with Secretary of State Hughes. The American gov- ernment, said Secretary Hughes in substance, desires to take no attitude on the reparations question ‘that would irritate the allied governments. He added, says the ambassador's message, that the state department communication to Secretary’ Hughes indicated a pref- erence *al Germany should settle without the occupation of the Ruhr valley, as soon occupation suggest- ed a kind of war, M. Jusserand’s tele- gram said. The conversation. the ambassador state, was entirely informal and sym- pathetic. ‘ Give 12 Days Grace. Germany must give by May 12 a categorical answer—yes or no—to the allied reparation demands, or “suffer. the infliction of military and naval penalties, according to the térms of an ultimatum drawn up by the allied foreign ministers today and submitted to the supreme council for its ap- proval. The swift movement of events in the reparations issue was shown in this series of developments. ‘The allied foreign ministers com- pleted thé draft of the ultimatum which provided that Germany should be advised of- the allled terms four from -and then shutve | six days within which to answer yes or no, British Naval Demonstration.

French Ready to Strike. Paris, May 2 (By the Associated French supreme council in London on the | reparations issue. is proceeding with the preliminaries necessary to the gc- cupation of the Ruhr valley, should that step be ordered. A brigade of cavalry was entrain- ing today at Meaux to join a large detachment of infantry already on the way from Lyons, in addition to ar- tillery from Ni Vinnes and other gar- risons now on the move. Mobilization Plans. Orders for the mobilization of the class of 1919 which will take part in the possible occupation of the Ruhr district of Germany were expected to be issued here today. The orders will be sent to individuals who will be in- | structed to report for duty and the entire class will not be called as for- merly. This procedure possible by the passage of the new mobilization act. Negroes are not expected to be in- cluded in the forces sent into the Ruhr district. It is probable also that the government's orders will ex- empt students, soldiers living in dev- astated regions, and those who have served under the colors outside of French territory. Press Almost Unanimous. Newspapers, as a whole, expressed themselves today as being in favor of the mobilization, the only discordant note being struck by Humanite which in large headlines attacked the order. It also carried on its first page an advertisement by the communist com- mittee of action, beginning with the words: “Down with war; down with mobilization.”” Naval Demonstration. London, May 2.—Great Britain will make a naval demonstration if Ger- many refuses to yield to the Allies’ conditions in the reparations issue, it was stated here today. The demon- stration which would not take the form of a blockade, would probably occur in the North sea, it was added. The reparation commission will ad- vise Germany of the Allies’ condi- tions within six days after the deci- sion upon them has been reached by the supreme council.

The job printing department at the Record hay agreed to thu 44-hout week demands of the union printers, thus preventing a strike at that plant today. Other union job printers have also agreed to these terms, with the exception of the New England Weekly Publishing company, where the em- ! ployes are out on strike. The Herald was not affected as the 44-hour week is asked in job estab- lishments or shops where a newspaper . is published in connection with a job i plant. New Haven, May 2.—Compositors employed in some of the local com- | mercial job and book printing shops in New Haven were on strike today because of refusal .of the master printers to grant the 44-hour. week and a wage increasel. The demands made. were those authorized by the International Typographical union. C. 'J. Ballard, ‘president of local Typographical Union No. 47, said that his information was that about 73 men were out, most of these from six or eight of the larger shops. One of these is the Van Dyck Printing company which prints the Yale Daily News which today was of four pages only. The paper was set by Mr. Van Dyck and the foremen last night. Tho pressmen have not struck. Mr. Ballard said that Frank Van Dyck, of the Van Dyck company, is a member of the union but he ex- pected that the membership would be terminated at a meeting of the union during the day.” Among the shops ‘GREEN’ SALOONMAN ! l e { Urban Was Proprietor of | East Main Street Place | Only a Few Hours. ‘Within a few hours after Walter Urban of New Haven had come into possession of what was formerly the Schultz saloon on East Main street, Saturday afternoon, a squad of police conducted a successful liquor raid.
