Yhe Prince de Ligne, Belgian Ambas-
' Sr ador to Washington, descends from one
°a the olctest houses in Europe, which had,
î rinft the 19th alliances by mar-
(X ^ e with such fami!ies as de Talley-
' I rand-P^r'gor<^' Vailles, de La Roche-
foucauld-DoudeauvilIe, de La Trémoille,
and de Gontaut-Biron. The Prince's an-
cestors, whose parohments can be traced
ta the middle of the 111h Century, .re-
ceived honors during eight hundred years
from nearly every sovereign in Europe.
For generations they upheld the Haps-
1, burg power in the Low Countries, where
. during- five hundred years they occupied
1 the superb seat of Beloeil, near Mons,
whose grounds were re mode lied by Le-
nôtre. One of the most striking repré-
sentatives of this gifted and original line
was Prince Charles-Joseph de Ligne,
marshal, diplomat, courtier, wit, and
grand seigneur. It is feared that his un-
I published memoirs perished in the fire
which destroyed the Château de Beloeil
.m 1900. It was his intention not to have
them put info print until a hundred years
after his death. If they are irrévocable,
[ it will be a loss, for this brilliant observer
knew every outstanding figure of the
| couits of Europe from the middle of the
8th Century to the Congress of Vienna.
Marie Antoinette always enjoyed his wit, '
unpretentiousness, and old-world grâce at-
Versailles; and Madame de Staël wrote
that no one who had not seen and heard !
him could appreciate his çharm. «
y The Princesse de Ligne, wife of Prince
' Albert de Ligne, the present Amlbassador
t:| to Washington, arrived yesterday at Cher-
| bourg with her three daughters, Elizabeth,
1 Antoinette and Hélène, on their way to
Antwerp, on the Red Star liner Pennland.
They will make a visit of some weeks to
their homeland. Before going to Wash-
ington two years ago, the Prince de Ligne
was for many years Belgian Ambassador
to The Hague.
Lady Louis Mountbatten, who is <
frequent visitor to Paris and has man)
American friends here, is arriving today
to be at the Ritz for the next week. Lord
and Lady Mountbatten are extremely
popular young people and wherever they
happen to be, whether Malta, to which
post Lord Mountbatten's duties in the
ÎBritish navy took him last year, or in
tondon or Paas, they form. a cen ter o(
|Swa! inteaest. ^Lady^, L,aais, 'who ..was
[Miss Ashley, is noted not only for her
fpulchritude, but for her great wealth,
:having one of the largest fortunes in Eng-
jland. On iher father's side she is descend-
ed from the seventh Earl of Shaftesbury,
while on the maternai side she is the
granddaughter of the late financier, Sir
Ernest Cassel. Both s.he and her frusband,
who, by the way, is considered one of the
handsomest Members of Parliament, are
frequently seen with the Prince of Wales,
whom they accompanied to America sev-
eral years ago. In fact, Lord Mount-
batten is a cousin of the Prince. Both
Lord Louis and his wife are greatly in-
r terested in the growing sport of motor-
Itoat racing and own several fast boats;
•he is one of the very active admirais in
fhe British Motorboat Club.
Tomorrow Lady Mountbatten will .be
joined here by her brother-in-law and
pister, Capt. and Mrs. Cunningham Reid,
who have been enjoying the winter sports
§ .over the holidays at St. Montz. It will
remembered that Mrs. Reid was Miss
*Ruth Ashley. Curiously enough, these
^Ashley sisters, whose respective claims'
¡10 beauty can't be denied, married the
¡cwo men, who are said to .be the hand-
somest Members of Parliament; the four-
wme is apparently hard to ibeat. Like
Mountbattens, the Reids are actively
terested in aIl the outdoor sports such
hunting, shooting, tennis and skiing.

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.—More than 30
. (ieaths have alreaÕy been .caused by the
: winter's second gréât storm which swept
from the Pacifie Coast over the balance
of the country. The severity of the
bllizzard raging over the N ortih Amer-
ican continent as far south as the Gulf
of Mexico is even worse than the one
earlier this winter in which 38 died,
althougli the to!l in the present storm
has not reac'hed as high a figure.
The number of persons injured by the
freezing weather is estimated to be in
the, hundreds, and many thousands of
dollars damage has been done to property
over two thirds of t'he United States.
Téléphoné service between a number of
eities has been interrupted, and rail
! schedules seriously impeded. Téléphoné
and telegraph companies are keeping
tmergency crews of linemen working
night and day to repair the damage done
by ice, sleet, and snow on the wires and
to reopen & broken lines. Airplane
schedulës were practically abandoned
sLveral days ago.
Many regions are suffering from
temperatures far below zéro, and great
c'rifts of snow have blocked the roads in
the mountain districts and in many parts
of the Middle West.
J n some of the cities business has been
virtually suspended, for although most
of the business houses are keeping open
as usual, customers unless impelled by
absolute necessity are keeping indoors
by their fire.s.
In Chicago, where the snowfall has
rea.ched .n earl y a foot, great gangs of
laborers recruited hurriedly are at work
alterapting -...to keep the snow off. the
streets and thus allow motor and street-
car traffic to flow.

Confederate Bugler Who Blew 'Cease Firing'
At Appomattox Dies; Union Pal Sounds 'Taps'
MAR-YVII,L'E, Mo., Jan. 11.-The
bugles that blew loud and clear 65 years
ago are to be mute, On April 9, 1865, a
blue clad youth stood on the hills before
Appomattox and sounded Cease firing.
Lee, driven from Ric.hmond, had been
pursued and' trapped. His weary, rag-
ged, hungry, and dishea.rten'ed army could
no longer keep up the struggle. Grant's
"u :1conditional surrender" terms had to
be accepted.
Peace had - come after four - years of
the war betw'een brothers.
Far down the lines, a boy in gray
lifted his bugle , and tb.e call, Cease
firing, came from it, like an echo from
the. Confederate ranks to the .call from
the Fédéral front.
The bugle blown by the boy in gray
is silent. The boy, a tired old man, has
just gone to the world where there is
no martial music, no clash of arma. They
buried him here the other day in his
beloved gray.
Friend Blows "Taps."
Beside his grave stood an old man
in iaded blue with a campaign hat with
gold _braid and $Ql.Q, .tassels, He rai^e^,
to his lips that second bugle that blew
at Appomattox and the soft strain.s of
Taps sounded.
It was the last note from either bugle.
The two bugles now have been placed
away, side by side.
The two veterans had been chums
except for the horror years of the Civil
War. They were boys together down
East, played together and had the same
joys and sorrOWIS.
They were nearing manh'ood when
Sumter was fired on, and the call to arms
came in 1861. One of the boys, H. P.
Childress, went .South and joined the
armies of the Confederacy; the other, N.
T. Sisson, enlisted in tbe rariks of - the
Blue. Each became a regimental bugler
Four years of fighting and then the
call to peace at Appomattox. The boys
were reunited, both settling here. Yearly,
on Mémorial day here in Maryville, the
two have sounded the cal] for tho.se who
arc gone; for those who fought for the
Union and for the "lost cause."
Sisscn has given the last note from
his bugle over the buriai of Childress.

Mussolini Accused
Of Hatching Sham
Plots On Belgians
Aim To Deny Amnesty
To Prisoners, Says
Brussels Journal
BRUSSELS, Jan. ll.—Wnat is con-
sidered as the most violent attack yet
made upon Italy in the course of the
events connected with the marriage of
Princess Marie-José and Crown Prince
Umberto - was published today in the
semi-official Brussels newspaper Le
Soir, following an inquiry at the Brus-
sels police headquarters.
The Brussels daily claims no less than
that Mussolini invented sham plots
against the Belgian Royal Family in
order to get plausible reasons for deny-
:ng the amnesty for Italian political
prisoners which Belgium had sought.
"A private request to grant amnesty
to Italien poatica! prisoners Or exilas
was made unofficially by a high Belgian
personality, we learn," Le Soir declarea.
If such an amnesty had freed the
enemies of Mussolini, this would have
been the. beçinning. of. Il Du^e's décline
and perhaps his eventual fall. 1s thu -
argument. The Duce is no coward, - it
is admitted, but he would not hesitate to
take extreme staps when necessary. He
did not hesitate. :
Plots Instigated,
"The request was made in such a way
that the Italien Government praétically
was obliged to do something," says the
Brussels paper. "At the very moment
when the Italian • Government was
embarrassed about saying 'No' to the
request, sensational plots were orgail-
ized aibroad, no doubt under the instiga-
tion of Fascist agents provocateurs.
"We can prove that officiai orders to
start such a movement were given to
Fascist organizations abroad about two
months ago," declares Le Soir.
Oamillo Berneri, who was arrested in
Brussels recently as implicated in a
bombing plot against the Belgian Royal
train, and his friend and roommate,'
Menapace, are, according to Le Soir,
Fascist agents and their plot pure in-
vention.
"Why did Mussolini organize a pseudo-
p.Iot movement?" asks Le Soir, and then
replies, "Prince Umberto, Italy's future
king or Emperor, has Fascist principle.s
but. wants to be cjiief of the Government
himself and - has ne ii-se for the man jn

wald were to distribute $6,00'0,000 to 34
institutions, has been brought by Joseph
Horwich, brother of Mr. Hubert. The lat-
ter s name was originally Horwich.
The suit charges that the clauses in the
will providing for the distribution of the
fortune are . indefinite, uncertain and
repugnant to the Jaws of the State of
New York.
In bringing this action into the courts,
Mr. Horwich is risking losing entirely his
legacy of $1,000,000, for the will spécifiés
that any relations contesting the probate
were not to bénefit by the will. Mr. Hu-
bert had fores-een the poss'ibi!ity of dis-
satisfaction and had included this clause
in order to forestaU trouble, but Mr. Hor-
wich hopes to prove that this clause, also,
is unsound at IELW.
The trio ' of 'ahave spent eight , months in studying
the best ways to distribute the huge
sum among 34 institutions in the United
States. The distribution was made in
such a way that the gifts, it is hoped,
will attract an additianal $15,000,000 to
the favored recipients from other sources.
- Included among those named for large
donations are St. Vincer.t's Hospital in
New York, the Boy Scout and Girl Scout
movements, the Provide'nt Hospital in

in New York, these getting $500,000 each.

ON BOARD S. S. GEORGE WASH-

of A. V. Alexander, British First ' Lord
of the Admiralty, in a speech yesterday
that Great Britan is willing to aecept a
maximum armament of 50 cruisers as
sufficient for the Empire's needs at
présent was hailed with satisfaction by
the American délégation on board this
ship on their way to London for the
Naval Limitation Conference.
The announcement is regarded by the
American officiais as setting the Ad-
miralty's seal of approval on the agree-
ment reachoo between Premier Mac-
Donald and Président Hoover in October.
It is pointed out, however, that the
50 crniser limit thus set indicates that
the United States must build more ships
of this class to offset the slight British
superiority _in gross tonnage. But no
difficuLty is anticipated in reaching an
adjustment. for which the- British Pre-
mier and. Mr. Hoover laid the basis at

Germans Offer War Secrets
To All Who Will Buy Them
Deadly Weapons That Harassed Allies
Forbidden To Reich By Treaty, On
Sale At Hague To Other Nations
BY HENRY WALES
(Tribune Press Service)
THE HAGUE, Jan. Il.-Germany's war secrets are on sale here
on the open market. The mechanical factors which enabled the Kaiser's
army and navy to stand off the rest of the world during four years of
fighting can be boaght at, reasonable prices from the men who invented
and perfected them during the Hohenzollern regime.
Outlawed under the disarmament clauses of the Versailles Treaty
and forbidden to manufacture or even experiment further in the Father-
land, C-ferman engineers and scientific experts have established themselves
in Holiand, constructed plants and factories and now offer to the rest
cf the world thé polished and refined products which the Imperial army
and navy used so effectrvely against the Allied hosts of men and ships.
The smaller, independent nations ara
eager purchasers, although certain little
states, such as the members of the
Petite Entente, buy from the Allies
because they obtain ea.sy term payments.
Japan and Italy are investigating the
sorret appliances offered and have ,
purchased some of the equipment for
testjng and trying out.
Red Russia has contracted for certain
niipplies, but is restricted through
financial considerations, as the goods
must be paid for on delivery.
Big Allies Abstain.
The United States, Great Brita.iM and
France thus far have not availed them-
selves of an opportunity to examine
or compare the merits of the delicate,
e!oril,pliéated mechanisms which provf-Q
invaluable to Germany during thehostili-
ties and which the Allies were unable
to duplicate from the captured models.
Principal among the products offered
f,or saie here are submarines, fire control
systems, rangefinders and military
-!'earc:hlight batteries.
The peace treaty strictly prohibits
Germany from constructing any of these
ana even forbids tech--iical experts from
continuing laboratory experiments and
tests.
As a resuit, the brains and skill which
contrived these secrets of war apparatus
have moved across the frontier to Dutch

Chancellor of the Exchequer Snowden's
peremptory demand this morning to

A Conférence spokesman tonight said:
"Alil the points are well on the way to
solution through the various questions

Conforming to Mr. Snowden's demand,
tbe German délégation put their .verbal

mémorandum Séveloped tbe three prin-
cipal points at issue. The date of the
monthly payment of réparations, the
security on assigned revenues and the
conditions of a moratorium.
Compromisinff on the initial point, the
Germans suggested ^ayiiig a part on
the 1,5th of tbe month 'and the balance
on the last of the month, but since th-e

the month, some modification or sugges-

ments, safeguarded through the ear-
marking of certain items, of the Reicb
budget, such. as beer and sugar taxes,

presented new proposais on the mora-
torium. containing certain concessions

To Death By Current From
Electric Vacuum Cleaner
(Tribune Press Service)
BERLIN, Ja.n. 11. — Slow death by
electrocution from which she was unable
t ) escape although she lay screaming in
pain for two hours was the tragic end
suffered by Frau Hilde Lasch here today.
She had been doing the family laundry
and left the washtub to tidy up the front
room, taking an electric vacuum cleaner
for the task. When she seized the
vacuùm cleaner, she received a severe
shock which knocked her down, and she
was unable to move. None heard her
cries and she was slowly roasted to death.
Electricians believed that her wet cloth-

Exclusion Of Competing U.S, Manufactures
Seems Certain Sequel To New Tariff Bills
Exclusion of American manufactures
from France wherever - they compete
with native industries appeared a virtual
certainty yesterday as a sequel to two
French tariff bills shouldering the auto-
mobile importer out of the country—
measures which were the subject of a
joint mémorandum in protest by Ameri-
can automobile manufacturers last night.
One of the two automobile tariff bills
already is written and before the Cham-
ber of Deputies. The other either is set
for the French log roller or is being
prepared for the first meeting of the
Chamber next Wednesday.
Both measures are Government bills,
and it appeared certain that once they
appear -they will be shunted through in
fast order. 'The bill already written ex-
cludes American automobile parts from
France. The second, according to reli-
able information, will be aimed at the
assembled automobile.
The first affects the Ford Motor Cooi-
panyt essemblea ita cars ja
France, and the second bill when it ap-
pears will build a tariff wall around
France which neither General Motors
nor any other American manufacturer
can scale.

Yhe Prince de Ligne, Belgian Ambas-
' Sr ador to Washington, descends from one
°a the olctest houses in Europe, which had,
î rinft the 19th alliances by mar-
(X ^ e with such fami!ies as de Talley-
' I rand-P^r'gor<^' Vailles, de La Roche-
foucauld-DoudeauvilIe, de La Trémoille,
and de Gontaut-Biron. The Prince's an-
cestors, whose parohments can be traced
ta the middle of the 111h Century, .re-
ceived honors during eight hundred years
from nearly every sovereign in Europe.
For generations they upheld the Haps-
1, burg power in the Low Countries, where
. during- five hundred years they occupied
1 the superb seat of Beloeil, near Mons,
whose grounds were re mode lied by Le-
nôtre. One of the most striking repré-
sentatives of this gifted and original line
was Prince Charles-Joseph de Ligne,
marshal, diplomat, courtier, wit, and
grand seigneur. It is feared that his un-
I published memoirs perished in the fire
which destroyed the Château de Beloeil
.m 1900. It was his intention not to have
them put info print until a hundred years
after his death. If they are irrévocable,
[ it will be a loss, for this brilliant observer
knew every outstanding figure of the
| couits of Europe from the middle of the
8th Century to the Congress of Vienna.
Marie Antoinette always enjoyed his wit, '
unpretentiousness, and old-world grâce at-
Versailles; and Madame de Staël wrote
that no one who had not seen and heard !
him could appreciate his çharm. «
y The Princesse de Ligne, wife of Prince
' Albert de Ligne, the present Amlbassador
t:| to Washington, arrived yesterday at Cher-
| bourg with her three daughters, Elizabeth,
1 Antoinette and Hélène, on their way to
Antwerp, on the Red Star liner Pennland.
They will make a visit of some weeks to
their homeland. Before going to Wash-
ington two years ago, the Prince de Ligne
was for many years Belgian Ambassador
to The Hague.
Lady Louis Mountbatten, who is <
frequent visitor to Paris and has man)
American friends here, is arriving today
to be at the Ritz for the next week. Lord
and Lady Mountbatten are extremely
popular young people and wherever they
happen to be, whether Malta, to which
post Lord Mountbatten's duties in the
ÎBritish navy took him last year, or in
tondon or Paas, they form. a cen ter o(
|Swa! inteaest. ^Lady^, L,aais, 'who ..was
[Miss Ashley, is noted not only for her
fpulchritude, but for her great wealth,
:having one of the largest fortunes in Eng-
jland. On iher father's side she is descend-
ed from the seventh Earl of Shaftesbury,
while on the maternai side she is the
granddaughter of the late financier, Sir
Ernest Cassel. Both s.he and her frusband,
who, by the way, is considered one of the
handsomest Members of Parliament, are
frequently seen with the Prince of Wales,
whom they accompanied to America sev-
eral years ago. In fact, Lord Mount-
batten is a cousin of the Prince. Both
Lord Louis and his wife are greatly in-
r terested in the growing sport of motor-
Itoat racing and own several fast boats;
•he is one of the very active admirais in
fhe British Motorboat Club.
Tomorrow Lady Mountbatten will .be
joined here by her brother-in-law and
pister, Capt. and Mrs. Cunningham Reid,
who have been enjoying the winter sports
§ .over the holidays at St. Montz. It will
remembered that Mrs. Reid was Miss
*Ruth Ashley. Curiously enough, these
^Ashley sisters, whose respective claims'
¡10 beauty can't be denied, married the
¡cwo men, who are said to .be the hand-
somest Members of Parliament; the four-
wme is apparently hard to ibeat. Like
Mountbattens, the Reids are actively

hunting, shooting, tennis and skiing.

virtually suspended, for although most
of the business houses are keeping open
as usual, customers unless impelled by
absolute necessity are keeping indoors

In Chicago, where the snowfall has
rea.ched .n earl y a foot, great gangs of
laborers recruited hurriedly are at work

Confederate Bugler Who Blew 'Cease Firing'
At Appomattox Dies; Union Pal Sounds 'Taps'
MAR-YVII,L'E, Mo., Jan. 11.-The
bugles that blew loud and clear 65 years
ago are to be mute, On April 9, 1865, a
blue clad youth stood on the hills before
Appomattox and sounded Cease firing.
Lee, driven from Ric.hmond, had been
pursued and' trapped. His weary, rag-
ged, hungry, and dishea.rten'ed army could
no longer keep up the struggle. Grant's
"u :1conditional surrender" terms had to
be accepted.
Peace had - come after four - years of
the war betw'een brothers.
Far down the lines, a boy in gray
lifted his bugle , and tb.e call, Cease
firing, came from it, like an echo from
the. Confederate ranks to the .call from
the Fédéral front.
The bugle blown by the boy in gray
is silent. The boy, a tired old man, has
just gone to the world where there is
no martial music, no clash of arma. They
buried him here the other day in his
beloved gray.
Friend Blows "Taps."
Beside his grave stood an old man
in iaded blue with a campaign hat with
gold _braid and $Ql.Q, .tassels, He rai^e^,
to his lips that second bugle that blew
at Appomattox and the soft strain.s of
Taps sounded.
It was the last note from either bugle.
The two bugles now have been placed
away, side by side.
The two veterans had been chums
except for the horror years of the Civil
War. They were boys together down
East, played together and had the same
joys and sorrOWIS.
They were nearing manh'ood when
Sumter was fired on, and the call to arms
came in 1861. One of the boys, H. P.
Childress, went .South and joined the
armies of the Confederacy; the other, N.
T. Sisson, enlisted in tbe rariks of - the
Blue. Each became a regimental bugler
Four years of fighting and then the
call to peace at Appomattox. The boys
were reunited, both settling here. Yearly,
on Mémorial day here in Maryville, the
two have sounded the cal] for tho.se who
arc gone; for those who fought for the
Union and for the "lost cause."

Mussolini Accused
Of Hatching Sham
Plots On Belgians
Aim To Deny Amnesty
To Prisoners, Says
Brussels Journal
BRUSSELS, Jan. ll.—Wnat is con-
sidered as the most violent attack yet
made upon Italy in the course of the
events connected with the marriage of
Princess Marie-José and Crown Prince
Umberto - was published today in the
semi-official Brussels newspaper Le
Soir, following an inquiry at the Brus-
sels police headquarters.
The Brussels daily claims no less than
that Mussolini invented sham plots
against the Belgian Royal Family in
order to get plausible reasons for deny-
:ng the amnesty for Italian political
prisoners which Belgium had sought.
"A private request to grant amnesty
to Italien poatica! prisoners Or exilas
was made unofficially by a high Belgian
personality, we learn," Le Soir declarea.
If such an amnesty had freed the
enemies of Mussolini, this would have
been the. beçinning. of. Il Du^e's décline
and perhaps his eventual fall. 1s thu -
argument. The Duce is no coward, - it
is admitted, but he would not hesitate to
take extreme staps when necessary. He
did not hesitate. :
Plots Instigated,
"The request was made in such a way
that the Italien Government praétically
was obliged to do something," says the
Brussels paper. "At the very moment
when the Italian • Government was
embarrassed about saying 'No' to the
request, sensational plots were orgail-
ized aibroad, no doubt under the instiga-
tion of Fascist agents provocateurs.
"We can prove that officiai orders to
start such a movement were given to
Fascist organizations abroad about two
months ago," declares Le Soir.
Oamillo Berneri, who was arrested in
Brussels recently as implicated in a
bombing plot against the Belgian Royal
train, and his friend and roommate,'
Menapace, are, according to Le Soir,
Fascist agents and their plot pure in-
vention.
"Why did Mussolini organize a pseudo-
p.Iot movement?" asks Le Soir, and then
replies, "Prince Umberto, Italy's future
king or Emperor, has Fascist principle.s
but. wants to be cjiief of the Government
himself and - has ne ii-se for the man jn

that Great Britan is willing to aecept a
maximum armament of 50 cruisers as
sufficient for the Empire's needs at

The announcement is regarded by the

It is pointed out, however, that the
50 crniser limit thus set indicates that
the United States must build more ships

superiority _in gross tonnage. But no
difficuLty is anticipated in reaching an

Germans Offer War Secrets
To All Who Will Buy Them
Deadly Weapons That Harassed Allies
Forbidden To Reich By Treaty, On
Sale At Hague To Other Nations
BY HENRY WALES
(Tribune Press Service)
THE HAGUE, Jan. Il.-Germany's war secrets are on sale here
on the open market. The mechanical factors which enabled the Kaiser's
army and navy to stand off the rest of the world during four years of
fighting can be boaght at, reasonable prices from the men who invented
and perfected them during the Hohenzollern regime.
Outlawed under the disarmament clauses of the Versailles Treaty
and forbidden to manufacture or even experiment further in the Father-
land, C-ferman engineers and scientific experts have established themselves
in Holiand, constructed plants and factories and now offer to the rest
cf the world thé polished and refined products which the Imperial army
and navy used so effectrvely against the Allied hosts of men and ships.
The smaller, independent nations ara
eager purchasers, although certain little
states, such as the members of the
Petite Entente, buy from the Allies
because they obtain ea.sy term payments.
Japan and Italy are investigating the
sorret appliances offered and have ,
purchased some of the equipment for
testjng and trying out.
Red Russia has contracted for certain
niipplies, but is restricted through
financial considerations, as the goods
must be paid for on delivery.
Big Allies Abstain.
The United States, Great Brita.iM and
France thus far have not availed them-
selves of an opportunity to examine
or compare the merits of the delicate,
e!oril,pliéated mechanisms which provf-Q
invaluable to Germany during thehostili-
ties and which the Allies were unable
to duplicate from the captured models.
Principal among the products offered
f,or saie here are submarines, fire control
systems, rangefinders and military
-!'earc:hlight batteries.
The peace treaty strictly prohibits
Germany from constructing any of these
ana even forbids tech--iical experts from
continuing laboratory experiments and
tests.
As a resuit, the brains and skill which
contrived these secrets of war apparatus
have moved across the frontier to Dutch

New Newspaper Fight
For Liberty Of Press
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
CHICAGO, Jan. 11.—Freedom of
speech and of the press will be defended
once more before the United States
Supreme Court. The newspaper publish-
ers of America, under the leadership of
Colonel R. R. MoCormick, publisher of
the Chicago Tribune, have asked the
highest court in the land to nullify the
newspaper "gag" law of the State of
Minnesota under which the Saturday
Press of. Miniieapolis was silenced by
court injunction in 1927.
Colonel MoCormick, who ia Ieading
the fight and is head of the coenmittee
of the American Newspaper Publishers
Association, has made the following
statement :
"We have no wish to foster libe-lous
publications. The general libel laws can
be invoked against those if the charges
are prove.n. Our fight is against allow-
ing the truth to be suppressed and news-
papers ruled out of existence by a single
udge without a jury trial."

Toward Solution

Getting Germans Into
Action
(Tribune Press Service)

progre.ss was made during the three
hour meeting this afternoon of the six
hig- shpts. of the Conference following
Chancellor of the Exchequer Snowden's
peremptory demand this morning to
speed up the proceedings.
A Conférence spokesman tonight said:
"Alil the points are well on the way to
solution through the various questions
being Clanalized. into definite channels."
Conforming to Mr. Snowden's demand,
tbe German délégation put their .verbal
;pmpo.!?tLls into wrjting' and. from their
mémorandum Séveloped tbe three prin-
cipal points at issue. The date of the
monthly payment of réparations, the
security on assigned revenues and the
conditions of a moratorium.
Compromisinff on the initial point, the
Germans suggested ^ayiiig a part on
the 1,5th of tbe month 'and the balance
on the last of the month, but since th-e
Young Plan mentions the last day (Jf
the month, some modification or sugges-
tion is necessary to bring it into con-.'
junction.
Germans Make Concessions.
Regarding the second point, tbis deals

Instead of negative guaranties of pay-
ments, safeguarded through the ear-
marking of certain items, of the Reicb
budget, such. as beer and sugar taxes,
pledging the prooeed,s as reparations.
Ans'wering the last point, the Germans
presented new proposais on the mora-
torium. containing certain concessions
whdch are believed to contain the op-
portunity of an agreement.
The Young Plan provides a mora-
torium of only two years and a third
year suspension may be granted only
when the previous year has been paid
up. The general idea now is to maintain
Housewife Slowly Roasted
To Death By Current From
Electric Vacuum Cleaner
(Tribune Press Service)
BERLIN, Ja.n. 11. — Slow death by
electrocution from which she was unable
t ) escape although she lay screaming in
pain for two hours was the tragic end
suffered by Frau Hilde Lasch here today.
She had been doing the family laundry
and left the washtub to tidy up the front
room, taking an electric vacuum cleaner
for the task. When she seized the
vacuùm cleaner, she received a severe
shock which knocked her down, and she
was unable to move. None heard her
cries and she was slowly roasted to death.
Electricians believed that her wet cloth-
ing caused a short circuit.
Exclusion Of Competing U.S, Manufactures
Seems Certain Sequel To New Tariff Bills
Exclusion of American manufactures
from France wherever - they compete
with native industries appeared a virtual
certainty yesterday as a sequel to two
French tariff bills shouldering the auto-
mobile importer out of the country—
measures which were the subject of a
joint mémorandum in protest by Ameri-
can automobile manufacturers last night.
One of the two automobile tariff bills
already is written and before the Cham-
ber of Deputies. The other either is set
for the French log roller or is being
prepared for the first meeting of the
Chamber next Wednesday.
Both measures are Government bills,
and it appeared certain that once they
appear -they will be shunted through in
fast order. 'The bill already written ex-
cludes American automobile parts from
France. The second, according to reli-
able information, will be aimed at the
assembled automobile.
The first affects the Ford Motor Cooi-
panyt essemblea ita cars ja
France, and the second bill when it ap-
pears will build a tariff wall around
France which neither General Motors
nor any other American manufacturer
can scale.
