£ . News of the World By Associated Press assw Rlstance Stppe Under Certain Conditions Stated by Dr. Stresemann France, However, Must Give up Ruhr and Lib- erate Germans Recent- ly Arrested—Inaugural Speech Made All 'Parties Seem to Feel That Some Agreement /ith France Must Be Reached By The Associated Press, Berlin, Aug. 14.—Dr. Gustave Stresemann, the new German chan- cellor, outlined in a statement today the conditions under which Germany is ready to abandon the passive re- sistance in the Ruhr. The conditions are the complete restoration to Ger many of her right of control over the Ruhr, re-establishment of the con- ditions in the Rhineland vouchsafed her under the Versailles treaty and the liberation of every German cit- izen who has becn outraged, evicted or imprisoned. The statement was made in the course of his inaugural speech to the Teihcstag this afternoon. Dr. Strese- mann made no mention of evacuation of the occupied areas, merely stress- ing the conditions under which Ger- many is prepared to enter upon ne- gotiations for the complete restora- tion of her jurisdiction and the frce- dom of her citizens there. The new chancellor was - P cordially greeted by the majority of the house, | the only jarring note in his reception being in the form of boisterous heck- ling by the communists. Comment On Appointments The New German cabinet has been | constructed wholly along and with respect to individual strength it is looked upon as weaker than the so-called non-partisan or business ministry which it succeeds. | The appointment of Dr. Rudolf Hil- ferding to the ministry of finance is a subject of much comment. Dr, Hil- ferding is an Austrian-born, a natur- alized German. He is a doctor of medicine by profession but of late years has occupied himselfawith theo- rotic socialism. He was a member of the independent socialist party before the two wings of the party amalga- mated and was editor of his faction's organ, Die Freheit. The retirement of General Groener from the ministry of transportation is viewed as a distinct loss, as he is con- sidered the ablest transportation au- thirity in Germany and is leaving now a post which demands a strong ad- ministrative incumbent in view of the technical and financial problems in- volved in reviving the nation’s railway system. His successor is Herr Oeser of the German democratic party. Among all the parties represented in the new ministry there appears to Le a conviction that Germany must seek some sort of truce with Poincare and that the hope of mediation or in- | tervention from other quarters is fu- tile in view of the present Anglo- French impasse. “Of what avail is a friend across the channel or the sea when we are up against a cantankerous neighbor?" exclaimed one socialist leader, By The Associated Press, Berlin, Aug. here believe the advent of Chancellor ~ Stresemann’s bourgeois-socialistic cab- inet presages an early effort to find a solution to the Ruhr crisis, The political makeup of the new cabinet is thought to reflect a desire on the part of both the industrialists and the socialists to discover a for- mula which would enable Germany to assume the initiative without prejudic- ing her attitude on passive resistance. Flood Waters in Utah Kill 12; Cause Great Damage Salt Lakeé City, Utah, Aug. 14.— Twelve lives are believed to have been lost in northern Utah as a re- sult of a series of cloudbursts last night and early today.

Berlin, Aug. 14.-—The general strike in Berlin was called off by the com- munists this morning, all the trans- portation lines reopening. By The Associated Press, Berlin, Aug. 14.—The industrial situation in Berlin showed improve- ment today and there were reports of betterment in conditions from other parts of Germany although disorders were still in progress in many dis- tricts. Despite strenuous efforts by the communists here in Beriin the col- lapse of the general strike movement was regarded as imminent. The gas works were still idle, but operations have been resumed at a number of the electric power stations. The street cars and underground railways were running, and traffic on the state rail- ways was almost normal. Improvement in Private Plants Improvement was also noticed among the private industrial estab- lishments several works resuming op- erations. The police prevented attempts to hold demonstrations in various parts of Berlin, The situation at Stettin has become worse, The dock employes went on strike and numbers of shops were plundered, especially butchers and bakers. The communists have become very active among the farm laborers. Strikes have broken out on more than &0 estates in the Soldin district, Bran- denburg province, and partial strikes are reported from Genthin, Goethen and Quedlinburg, Prussian Saxony, Wanzleben and Bernburg and Ballen stedt, Duchy of Anhalt. Strike Appeal Fails The communists’ appeal for a gen- eral strike at Leipsic failed. The Hamburg situation is quieter. The street cars and elevated railways are running.

M. Paonessa notwithstanding, tbe »xecutive was informed this afternoon a4 conference with Chairman Thomas W. Crowe of the board of public works and after a heated dis- | cusston in which the mayor charged that the common council had been dictated to by politicians and that some were in fear of loss of their jobs when they overrode his veto, and that the board of public works had "fall('n in line with the other politi- cians.” The conference adfourned, the mayor announcing that he would weigh matters in the balance and de- termine what his course would be. Mayor Paonessa declined to say whether members of the board would be dropped from office. He said his meeting this afternoon with €hairman Crowe had convinced him what kind of timber the board was composed of and that an important question of pol- icy has been brought up in the wran- gle which has been going on for more than a month. As to the paving of Grove Hill, the mayor will offer no further objection being powerless, he explains. Question of Finances Discussed At the opening of the conference, the mayor asked Mr. Crowe if he planned to proceed with the work at once. The chairman replied in the affirmative. The mayor asked if an overdraft would result, or of the hoard would be in a position to make other needed repairs without before the city meeting board next year with an overdraft. Mr. Crowe said it would be possible to live with- in the appropriation if no work not now anticipated was made necessary. Mayor Paonessa asked if it did not appear singular that a proposal was made to pave Grove Hill at the same meeting of the common council which it was proposed to delay the paving of South Main street and Broad streets, Mr. Crowe said there was no connection between the two recommendations. Mayor Paonessa afttrwards said he was convinced that it was expected Broad street and South Main street pavements would | be tabled and there would be suffi- cient money to proceed with Grove Hill. Mr. Crowe assured the mayor {that Grove Hill was not singled out and that he would work just as hard to have the work done even if it was not the street upon which the Crowe residence is located. | in | Mayor and Crowe When the mayor charged that the | veto was overridden in a pOlcha.I move in which the board of publi works had fallen in line, Mr. (‘row(‘ answered that there was no politics on suspected the mayor of playing poli- tics to rush through Broad street pavement and *“get the fifth ward.” other streets badly in need of repairs, in fact more so than Grove hill.

The “Hera]d" was informed today that the effort will be launched, hav- ing been discussed secretly by leaders of the republican party.

Change Authorized by Charter An amendment to the city charter adopted several years ago vests in the common councit authority to make the change. The amendment reads: “The common council by & ma- Jjority vote of all its members may without further action of the leg- islature substitute by ordinance the commission constituted under this amendment, a commission consisting of one person to be ap- pointed by the mayor to serve for such time and upon such salary as the common council may by said ordinance direct, and when so appointed said single commis~ sioner shall have all the powers and be subject to all the duties prescribed for said commission of four persons set forth in this amendment and upon enactment by sald common council of said ordinance and the appeintment of said single commissioner, the term of office of any commission- er thereto appointed shall termin- ate. When said single headed commission is so established by ordinance, the number shall not thereafter be subject to change by action of the common counecil.” It was impossible to secure con- firmation of the reported change in | the commission because the movement had been shrouded in secrecy from the | beginning.
