Issue Orders Forbid ding Monarchist Sympa thizers From Playing Kaiser Airs. (Aaaortated Pm Uutd Win.) BERLIN, May 11. Field Mar shal Von Hindenburg. who will be Inaugurated tomorrow as presi dent of Germany, arrived at the Heerstrasse station here late this afternoon. BERLIN. May 11. Today was Von Hindenburg's day the day of the field marshal's entry Into the capital as president-elect of the German republic. The nationalists planned to turn the event Into a great manifesta tion along the route travelled by the automobile carrying their hero from the suburban station where he was due to arrive late in the afternoon, up to Broad Heer strasse. through the Brandenburg gate and thence to the chancellor's palace, where he will rest In pre paration for tomorrow's Inaugura tion. The air was charged with elec tricity, both literally and figura tively literally because of a throt tled thunderstorm and figuratively because of fears that the national ist demonstration might be met with counter manifestations and Wwd t trouble. iThe police Issued sweeping orders forbidding the monarchist sympathisers from having their bands of welcome play "Fredericus Ract" or any oth er of the stirring marches remin iscent of the days of the Kaiser's power. They also prohibited the communists and their sympathiz ers from staging the three monster open air demonstrations planned for today. The police precautions against trouble were elaborato and includ ed patrolling not only of tho streets, but of the air and water. Aerial patrols were Instructed to hover constantly over all the Im portant street crossings along the route to keep watch for symp toms of disturbances. Police tugs were to ply to and fro on the Havel river near the bridge crossed by Von Hinden burg's automobile. Forty of the capital's most experienced and re liable motorcycle police were de tailed as an escort for his car. For the general safeguarding of order, the chief of police augmented the 10,000 uniformed Schupos (securi ty police.) with several hundred officers from the political and criminal branches. Even the po lice dogs were moblllied. Police trucks were stationed at stragetlc points with reserves ready to. move whole platoons to any dan ger point in the event of necessity. Societies Assigned to places along Hindenburg's route will be accompanied by police to prevent clashes between communists and nationalists. At Heerstrasse, the suburbsn railway station, where Hindenburg Is expected to arrive shortly be fore six o'clock, he will be greeted bv Chancellor Luther, Defense Minister Gesseler, Minister of the Interior Schlele, Executive Secre tary Melssner.

Us- i ing a targe ancnor attached to a fif ty foot chain as a hammer, .the I United States engineers today will break tbe framework of the cabin of the sunken steamer M. E. Norman, In the hope ot releasing I bodies of some of the 23 . persons wno drowned when the vessel turned over and sank last Friday. Stationed at Intervals down the river, crews of government boats will watch for the bodies which the engineers are confident will be released. The cabin was definitely locat ed last night after the workers had broken up other parts of the steamer. Attempts to reach the hull of the vessel with expert di vers failed because of the strong undercurrent which swept the di vers far down stream when they attempted to descend. To raise the hull of the steamer with chains, the engineer decided, would require several days, they determined on the plan ot break ing up the auper-structure of the Norman as the most practicable method of reaching the vlctlma. Fearing that some of the bodies have been swept downstream, those In charge have ordered the search of the river as far down as Helena, Ark.( to continue unceas ingly.

May ll In formal conversations relative to a French debt settlement are again in progress, it was disclosed today i at the state department. Confirming the fact of negotia tions for the first time the depart ment reiterated that the Washing jton government had sent no for jmal communication upon the ques tion to France. Department of ficials would not enlarge on their statement confirming reports that intermittent Informal conversa tions on the debt Question had been In progress from time to time. They refused to Indicate in any way the nature of develop ments of the last few days. The statement that the discus sion was "again" In progress was taken as a reference to the rumor ed dispatch to Ambassador Her rick last week of Instructions be lieved to outline the subjects he was to lay before French officials, In conversations he might hsve with them. There waa nothing to Indicate that these Instructions Included any deflnlnte project as to terms of settlement or that they marked any change In the policy of the Washington government as to the form at settlements. It was said flatly that the Wash ington government had not chang ed front on the question of accept ing an assignment of German re paration payments by France In working out a debt settlement agreement. It la understood that this question has been frequently raised and that the Washington government has always held thst any settlement reached with France must be la harmony with the bsslc condition of the refund ing asre.SJJ with Great Tlrltsln. That coition la that settlements are not made contingent upon any outside question as to where the funds are to be obtained by the debt or nation for meeting Its oblly Rations. Developments . today on the French debt question did not dis close that any advance had been made as yet toward acceptance by the two governments of a definite proposal advanced by either side aa the basis for negotiations for a refunding agreement.
