Premier Jlille rand today put aside the German crisis long enough to discuss rela tions between France and the United States and conditions of international credit. He said to a representative of the Associated Press: "France and the United States must continue the close friendship which Always has been maintained. No fleetinjr misunderstandings must be allowed to trouble their relations. The sooner, misconceptions are dissi pated the better. "It appears to me an opportune diphtheria is believed to have caused Ross Beck, a farmer of Gardner Hill, to become insane, with the result that he tried to burn his home, where his wife is critically ill of influenza. Guards were stationed about' his home. The first death occurred March 1, and on account of the .contagious character of the disease Beck was unable to obtain help. Using- rough .boards. Beck constructed a crude casket and placed the body in it. He dug a grave on the hillHide overlook ing his home, lowered the casket into it and shoveled back the loose dirt he had taken out. The next day another child died. During the ensuine four days a child died on each and at the end of that period Beck and his wife were child less. The oldest child was 19 and the youngest four days old. After each death Beck built a casket and performed the burial. 0 MR CMS IS E IDT YET DECIDED , disappeared from his home here a few days ago, has been located at .Roseburg.

The greater part of money France borrowed abroad was spent in the common interest of all civilized countries, a fact which might form the basis of a claim for special consideration, but such is not our intention. "We don't request cancellation of our debts. We only ask time to breathe and to recover our strength after four and a half years of ex hausting war. Our propositions are those which any debtor would feel right in making in the interest of both himself and his creditor's." ExrbanKC Doubles Debt. The premier referred to the ruinous fluctuations in exchange, which he held would be aggravated rather than palliated through measures proposed to Fram e by those not taking ' suffi cient account of interior conditions. "If France is obliged to meet her obligations abroad at the present rate of exchange- she would be forced to pay two and a half times what she owes." he continued. "Thus, after spending for the common good. 3ii.0i0.fl'.n00 francs borrowed from her friends, she would have to pay 4. "..000. 000.000 francs as France's pre mium to these same friends. "We have given our blood, we have Slven our money. To ask us now to give more than double our debt is an anomaly that cannot fail to strike the most impartial judges." After mentioning the suggestion made by the United States that France could raise the value of the franc by increasing exportations, the premier said that the question ap peared to be imperfectly understood by the American people. Country Still Paralyzed. "We ask nothing but Increased im ports. We must first manufacture and we can't make the things for foreign trade until we have factories in which to manufacture them. Do our American friends lose sight of the extent of the devastation of the rich est part of our territory? Do they forget that we are still partly para lyzed and that it will require years to recuperate our waste manpower and restore the former flourishing manufacturing centers? The war cost us 600.000 industrial workers. 600,000 or our buildings were de.stroea, re gions were ruined which in 1S13 gave us :5 per cent of our wool, 90 per cent of our linen thread, 90 per cent of our minerals, S3 per cent of our g iron, it) per cent ui uui aue TOMBSTONE, Ariz.. March 15. Whether counsel for Harry E. Wot- ton, Bisbee hardware dealer, charged with kidnaping in connection with the alleged deportation of striking I copper miners and their sympathizers from Bisbee. Ariz., to Columbus, X. M., July 12, 1917, may be permit ted to introduce evidence tending to show "necessity and self-defense," to night was still undecided. After informing County Attorney Robert N. French that he would give him opportunity to be heard on one of the cases cited by the defense. Judge Samuel L. Pattee announced that court was adjourned until to morrow afternoon, but indicated that a longer time, "probably two or three days," would be necessary for him to prepare his opinion. The greater part of today's session was taken up by the arguments of County Attorney French and Special Prosecutor Worsley, who contended that evidence tending to show neces sity or self-defense should not be admitted, since it was not in point. No alleged necessity should be al lowed to override the guarantees of the constitution of the United States, they urged. Mr. Worsley insisted on the danger of allowing "one division of society to band together to take such action against another division of society as the former may see fit." Both Mr. AVorslcy and Mr. French rested their arguments chiefly upon thccase of ex-parte Milligan decided in the supreme court of the United States during the civil war. Milligan, a civilian, was tried and sentenced to death for rebellion by a military com mission. The. supreme court held, ac cording to the prosecution, that not even the emergency of war justified any suspension of the operation of the constitution of the United States, which guarantees every citizen a trial by Jury and that any suspension of the constitution would lead to des potism or anarchy. CAPITAL'S REPORTS FEW Washington Waits to Hear Commander on Situation . fore Taking Any Steps, From Be- anrt 53 oer cent of our coal. "The war wasted our railroads to an unimaginable extent. Thirty per cent of our merchant fleet was sunk and our wheat production was dimin ished two-thirds involving a deficit of 2.000.000,000 francs. These catas trophal changes were a blow to the very base of the economic and finan cial situation of France." The premier took up the view of American financiers who have urged France to ship her gold against an unfavorable trade balance, lie con tinued: "If France were deprived of her :old it would bring on a financial crisis coinciding with the period dur ing which the effects of war would be unrepaired. It would constitute perils of another order quite as great as those we were under from 1914 to 1918. U. S. Heproaehes Disliked. "The reproaches of American fin anciers that France has been too slow in imposing taxes sufficient to balance the budget are made without due consideration to the extent to which the paying power of the coun try has been reduced as sho,wii ly figures I have given. "Besides sapping our economic pow er, the German invasion reduced the treasury resources 10 per cent. Also, while the United States mobilized about 17 per cent of her men of an sge to serve, we sent 89 per cent of all our mobilizable men for an in finitely longer period. "The paralysis of business as well as the prolonged absence of so many taxpayers resulted in a diminution of 23 per cent in the yield of taxes in 1915 as compared with 1913. In 1916, when it appeared no longer possible to wait for liberation of the invaded districts to increase the tax revenues new taxes were imposed and old ones increased until during the present year the yield of those taxes In force will amount to 12.000.00000 francs. Further taxes under discussion in the chamber will increase our revenue to 20.000,000.000 francs, or four times greater than the pre-war total. "Could France, impoverished in manpower, with her principal indus tries wiped out. be asked to make greater or speedier effort? France Said to Be Hopeful. "France and the United States can not afford to misunderstand .each other. Both countries must- bear In mind that there are no dealings worth while in which each does not find an advantage. "France is determined to rise from the ruins accumulated on her soil by the battle of nations. She will be able to make the necessary fiscal ef fort, taking all measures the situation requires."

The new I cabinet of Finland, the personnel of . which was announced at the Finnish legation Luuii, i urati iuvu rta cvill- i posed awholly of representatives of me Dourgeuisie panics, aim wiiu no representation of radical elements. The conservative complexion of the new cabinet is regarded here as representing a strong concentration of power and as significant of the determination in Finland to with stand radicalism and bolshevism. WASHINGTON, March 15. (By the Associated Press.) Because reports were lacking tonight from Major-Gen- eral Henry T. Allen at Coblenz as to military aspects of the involved situation in Germany, government ad vices today threw little light on the political status there and none on possible allied military measures. War department officials had hoped gen eral Allen would report on the con ference of allied commanders on the Rhine with Marshal Foch, but no mes sage came. The state department had an offi cial rep'ort of a , general strike in Hamburg, wiOi the military in con trol and no disorders. There was much speculative discus sion again In war and state depart ment circles as to ,the status of Gen eral Allen's troops on the Rhine in view of the fact that the American forces alone are under armistice con ditions. Disagreement was expressed as to whether they would be under orders of Marshal Foch. Some war depart ment officials thought that tech nically the marshal's authority might still extend to General Allen's com mand. Other officers, however, held that the peace treaty had abrogated the French leader's authority at least so far as the Americans were con cerned. Action Awaits W imbinicton. In any case. Secretary Baker's view appeared to render the question pure ly an academic one. He said General Allen had authority to preserve or. der in his area and that any other ac tion contemplated involving his forces would have to await approval from Washington. Military action by any occupying force, it was pointed out, would be contingent more on the character of the revolutionary change in Germany than on the revolution. The change of government would be of only passing interest to the commanders, unless it portended a departure from German engagements under the treaty. The present German political situa tion, it was said, was so obscure as to defy diagnosis in its true per spective until time disclosed the real purpose behind events reported. It is well understodd, therefore,' that for the present at least General Allen will confine himself to a main tenance of the status quo in. the Coblenz sector so far as this relates to the maintenance of order. This could be done, it is thought, with out interference with any political changes which the Germans may seek. Industries Would Operate. Should a general strike extend to the American section, as threatened. General Allen s situation might be come more involved. Inhabitants would not, it was thought, be permit ted to suffer for necessities of life, and the line of communications ot the American army must be kept open. While General Allen has large discretion as to measures necessary in such an emergency, it was be lieved beyond warning strike leaders against any acts having this effect. he would scarcely do more than ope rate public utilities with troops and such civilians as he might need to replace strikers. In reviewing the German political situation as shown in press advices, officials noted the apparent split be tween northern and southern Ger many over the new government. They also saw signs of a rekindling of the radical spartacan movement as force to oppose assumption of power by the reactionaries. A flare-up of the most radical elements in Ger many was becoming increasingly im minent, it was said. GRAIN MEN ASK CHANGES Collective Bargaining and Better Transportation Are Aims. CHICAGO.
