Paris, Aug. 3. — (By Assoclated Press—Separation of the Rhineland from Germany, with its own parli ment and government and a separate financial regime supervised by the al- lies, is a part of the scheme of penal« ties presented to Premier Poincare as representative of the opinion of the French pariiament and which he {is known to have taken under considera~ tion. Washington, Aug. 8.—Indications continued to multiply today that the federal government contemplated no immediate step in the rall strike situ- ation, A member of President Harding's cabinet declared, however, that as an abstract proposition it might be im- agined that the government would ap- ply to the courts for receiverships of such railroads as were unable to exe- cute their rail carrying contracts. The cabinet official emphasized that he was not saying that any receiver- ship proceedings were imminent, and A talk that was greeted with rounds of applause was given by C. L. Bardo, general manager of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company, at the weekly luncheon of the New Britain Rotary club at the Shuttle Meadow club today.

Possible Plans. While further plans of the govern- ment in connection with the strike were unrevealed, administration agen- cles were understood to be exploring the possibilities of settlement on the basis of assurances by the railway ex- ecutives that they would consider any fair proposals which preserved the seniority rights of shopmen who have continued at work during the strike. The executives were said to have been emphatic on the condition as to sen- tority. Harding Gets Reply. President Harding had received for study today the reply drafted by the upfon legders at Chicago to his pro- posals for a settlement. To Becre- tary ‘doover's statement after seeing the president yestérday that no im- niediate governmental steps in the rail sftuation were to be expected other ¢abinet members added the inti- mation today that the government's course would be largely determined do spoke of the strike situation pre- senting the railroad's side of the question. In his talk Mr. Bardo stated that conditions are bettering themselves on the New Haven road, and with the exception of the roundhouses in Eaat Hartford and Cedar Hills, the working force is about 100 per cent. that the road officlals have decided to close the roundhouses at New Ha- ven because of its age and that the house at Leadsville has a 50 per cent. working force. He was in hopes, however, that a 100 per cent. force would be employed in all branches of the road by October 1 The speaker explained that when the strike order went into effect, 7,200 mechanical craftsmen left the employ of the railroad, leaving 273 supervis- ors to talgy care of the work, The trains he said were run as usual over the fourth of July despite the fact that so many men had left their posts Mr. Bardo admitted that it {s a hard problem to replace 7,200 skilled men who left, with new men, but he said that the grade of labor now being em- ployed is much better than when the strike first started and the men are in the state supporters of U. 8.

Opposes Cancellation. On the abstract question of can- cellation Mr. Mellon was declared to have very definite views as to the un- desirability of such a proceeding from the standpoint of the United States. While European nations might wipe out the debts owed them in a general cancellation, it was explained, their debts wonld be wiped out by the United States, which, however, owing no one, would receive no compensa- tion for relinquishing its foreign obli- gations Opponent Cuts Lead. 19 years as foreman of the zig-zag Reed's lead of 25000 yvesterday|rule deparemtn at the Stanley Rule morning (>n the face of returns frowe |and Level company He was a mem- more than half the precincts of the|ber of Everyman's Bfblé clash. state but which ncluded Kansas City|* Funcral Saturday Afternoon. and 8t.
