12 THE SUNDAY OEEGONIAN, PORTLAND, JULY 9, 1922 GERMAN PAYMENT 15 JULY m Moratorium on Reparations Held Imperative. ENVOYS SENT TO PARIS Government, to Maintain Mark, Dumps Gold on Bourse, but Fails to Avert Crash. (Copyright, 1922, by the New York World. Published by Arrangement.) BERLIN, July 8. (Special Cable.) Germany has not 60,000,000 gold marks left to her name. She cannot meet the reparations payment due July 15 next. Therefore Chancellor Wirth expects to ask for a mora torium. The chancellor has sent State Sec retaries Fisher and Schroeder to Paris and Herr Bergmann, who is at The Hague, has also been ordered to Paris. These three will first nego tiate with the individuals on the rep arations commission before formally asking a moratorium. For the last few weeks the Reichsbank, backed by the govern ment, has been throwing gold values on the Bourse, thus trying to pre vent a disastrous collapse of the mark. Hundreds of millions of gold marks were thrown on the market, but it was impossible to hold up the mark. The government hoped to force up the value of the mark and to buy gold marks enough to pay the next installment of reparations, but, while it had been able to do this successfully many times in the last year, this time the market cracked. Government Made Poorer. , The Germans themselves had lost faith in their own paper money and, - knowing the government's trick, bought up all the gold values the government threw on the mar ket, handing back worthless paper marks to the government.- So the government of Germany is several hundred thousand gold marks poorer, although most of the gold values remain in Germany in private hands. Industry, which had foreseen the need of raw material, 'absorbed most of the gold marks. Consequently the government is forced to ask the reparations com mission for a moratorium, even for the 50,000,000 gold marks due July 15 and it has to ask, toot for a further, wider distribution of fu ture payments of reparations. The dollar sold as high as 575 marks yesterday, a drop of more than 100 points in the value of the mark. There was a panic on the Berlin Bourse. Figuratively It was a "Black Friday" for the speculat ors. Ever since the murder of Dr. W<her Rathenau the mark has been sinking perceptibly. Yesterday it went down with a crash. "The mark has lost half of its value in a few weeks. As yet the panic is lo cal and the hope is that the Bourse will recover before outside holders of marks lose confidence. Stabilising Factor Seen. The purchase of gold values for the reparations payment that is due July 15 would render the drive on the mark worse, but there is a sta bilizing influence in that the pur chase of foreign raw materials Is falllhg oft while sales abroad are gaining impetus. The financial crisis hag jarred the quarreling politicians Into action and, after two days, during which the relchstag and the Prussian landstag degenerated into squabbling assemblages, a wider coalition of parties i possible that the state may be saved. Gustav Stresemann, leader of the people's party, has reappeared in politics after a diplomatic period of idleness and has accepted a proposal to enter the government. Whether he does so depends upon the social ists, who are making more and 'more demands for place and power. The communists held an open air mass meeting yesterday and vigor ously protested against the conduct of the reactionaries. Tbe railroad men are considering another gener al strike, to be called next Tuesday, in protest against the tremendous cost of living. Social unrest is in creasing, consequently there is in creasing opposition to and interfer ence with the police and reichwehr by loyal supporters of the republic. Armed Force Monarchists. Nevertheless, the leader of the democrats, Herr Goetz, answering an interpellation in the relchstag, defended the monarchists reichfi wehr, declaring "republicans are not good militarists. It is true that the armed forces of the state are mon archists at heart, but what differ ence does it make if they serve the republic well?" The Bavarians continue to refuse to take orders from Berlin. In the Bavarian landtag yesterday Minister of the Interior Schweyer said Ba varia would not dismiss an official because of his political belief, add ing: "An official is not derelict in his duty If he happens to believe in the monarchy." - The Frankfurter Zeitung says the drop in the mark is due to the polit ical unrest following the assassina tion of Foreign Minister Rathenau, and that despite the vast quantity of paper marks, capital has not been so scarce in 25 years. The week just closed was the first in the present year when there was no increase in paper maTks the printers' strike having stopped the note presses. Nearly a hundred thousand billion paper marks are in circulation. canoeing with Lester Ezell, also 15. Ezell swam ashore. James Fargo, aged 14, and Will iam Hunt, life guard at Riverside park, near where the tragedy oc curred, witnessed the accident from short and went to the assistance of the struggling youth. They suc ceeded In getting him within, a few feet of the shore when, he fought off his rescuers and disappeared be neath the surface of the water. The body was recovered a few minutes later. Artificial respiration failed to restore him. Persons who witnessed the acci dent said the boys had rocked the canoe in fun with the result that it overturned. - Young Fargo, although suffering from water in his lungs and ex haustion from his long swim, made several attempts to save Dunnette after the latter, went down near shore. Persons at the scene of the tragedy lauded 'him .highly for his courage. , DIPLOMAS EltfEH TO 300 AKLETA BIBLE SCHOOL ENDS WORK FOR SUMMER. to Session Just Completed Said Have Been Most Successful Ever Staged.

All-Round Cancellation of AVar Debts Again Proposed as So lution of Problems.' BY JOSEPH W. GRIGG. (Copyright, 11122,'by the New York World. Published by Arrangement.) LONDON, July 8. (Special Cable ) Premier Lloyd George is so im pressed with the critical situation in Germany that he has called a special meeting of the cabinet for Tuesday to consider it. Before going to Chequers for the we'ek-end the premier had a long conversation with Austen Chamber lain, who is still ill at his London home. It is believed in government quarters that the premier will, in the event of any sudden emergency, suggest a meeting of the Allied chiefs without further delay. The British government informal ly has approached the United States government, through Ambassador Harvey, to ascertain if America has any, suggestions to make which might have an effect on stabilizing the situation in Germany. General Demoralization Seen. While the French press charges the German government with stag ing another crisis, to try to obtain a reduction of -reparations, the be lief in all responsible quarters here is that the sensational decline - in the value of the mark is only indi cative of the gradual demoralization of Germany, which has been has tened by the assassination of Rathe nau and the development of the monarchistic intrigue. The failure of the bankers' con ference In Paris, as a result of the French stand, was the cause, it is held here, of the beginning of the latest downward slide of the mark. Then the fierman printing presses gave it a further push by printing a huge quantity of marks to make good the payment of the 50 billions of gold marks July 15, and the final shove came with the assassination of Rathenau and the monarchists' movement. France Is Stumbling-Block. The British government, however, is helpless to ameliorate the situa tion so long as France maintains the present attitude of refusing to abate her reparations claims. Even tually the whole questipn comes back again to the allies' debts to America. France is willing to scale down the German reparations to the ex tent to which Great Britain and America are willing to relieve her of her war debts. ! Great Britain is willing to cancel the French war debts, but only on the lines of a general cancellation of war debts. Britain Holds Solution. Discussing the menacing situation caused by the collapse of the mark, the Economist says today: "There is only one way by which the present drift can be stayed and opinion is turned once more in the direction of that hope, and that is for Great Britain to declare she is prepared to discuss at once and without any reference to any action which ,the United States may take, the terms on which fhe is prepared to cancel the debts owed to her by the European allies." But if Great 'Britain takes such steps, the Economist asserts, there will have to be an agreement on the question of limitation of land armaments.

CHAMBERLAIN ISSUES STATEMENT. . Vessels Declared Ready When ever Exporters Can Show Need of More Carriers. Portland can have all of the United State shipping board ships that are required to handle com merce between this port and the orient. v This was the - substance of a statement made last night by ex Senator Chamberlain, now a mem ber of the shipping board, who is here with Mayer Lissner and Ad miral Benson, fellow members, to invstigate local shipping conditions. "I have repeatedly said that when ever Portland shippers showed the board that they needed vessels for freighting purposes these vessels would be , at thefr disp&sal," de clared Mr. Chamberlain. "We have ships tied up and lying idle In practically all of the big ports of the country. We desire that these ships be used because we want to build up a big merchant marine for this country. As an Oregonian, I sincerely desire to see Portland a great shipping center. -. I will do anything possible to make jt such when conditions warrant. "The talk of shifting some of the trans-Pacific passenger service to this port is impractical. Today it is divided between Seattle and San Francisco. . Neither pof t is making a profit on the business. To give Portland a share of the now un profitable business would be im practical. This port does not want business from which a profit can not be made." - Ex-Senator Chamberlain declared it was the steadfast desire of every member of the United States ship ping board to see a -big merchant marine flying the American flag. "This cannot be accomplished un til the American people give aid to shipping either directly or indirect ly," he continued. "Every citizen of this country should Btand behind any move which will place the American flag on the high seas for permanence." E CALLED " TWO JUDGES ARE TO HEAR ELECTION CONTEST. G.

The election contest filed recently in the Marion county, circuit court on behalf of Charles Hall, defeated condidate for the republican nomi nation for governor at the primary election, has been dubbed an "or phan' by Judge G. G. Bingham, who will hear the case. Judge Bingham said today that under a rule adopted in his court all law i actions are referred to Judge Percy Kelly, while he presides in all equity matters. The contest pro ceedings brought on behalf of Mr. Hall do not come under either of these classifications. Judge Bing ham said, and as a result it was de cided that both judges should sit. In event the case comes to issue and is not disposed of through the filing of a demurrer or some other preliminary maneuver, it will be necessary three days before the trial for the contestants to point out spe cifically the votes that are to be contested. In other words, the con testants will be obliged to prepare a list of the names of the voters who are under attack and present them to the contestee. tion in November, see considerable significance in the recent incorpora tion of the "Ladies of the Invisible Empire," alleged to be an auxiliary of the Ku Klux Klan. Many local students of political activities have ventured the guess that its influ ence in the coming election will be pronounced. The Incorporators of the auxil iary are R. H. Sawyer, Luther L Powell, RushH. Davis and Fred L. Glfford, all designated as members of the supreme council of the new organization. Although designated as a woman's organization, not a woman's name appears among the incorporators. The purpose of the organization, according to the articles, is to de velop the physical and mental ca pacity of its members and others, to promote better acquaintance and closer association between its mem bers, to promote and preserve the American free public school sys tem, to preserve the purity and su premacy of the white race, and to unite in one inseparable bond the Protestant women of the world. Persons supposed to have knowl edge of the Ku Klux Klan activities in Oregon today said that branches of the women's organization would be established in each county in the state. Besides taking an active part in the election of state officers in No vember, members of the Ku Klux Klan and its auxiliary probably will support the initiative measure mak ing it Incumbent upon parents and guardians to send their children to the public schools. Bon Marche Will Sell Women's $50 to $75 Coats and Wraps At Nineteen Eighty-Five! PSYCHOLOGY PRICES GUT COURSES MARKED DOWN BY DARKNESS DISPELLER. . Special Limited Inducement Of fered by Head of School of Higher Hnman Culture. John Milton Scott, "psychologist of practical idealism," the latest recruit to the city's corps of psychologists and darkness dispell ers, lectured at the Lincoln high school auditorium last night to an audience of 35 women, 11 men and one newspaper reporter. His sub jects were "The Psychology of Love and Its Successful Marriage"" and "Marriage Wisdom Which Makes All Marriage Days Lover Days." The lecture was free and so were the pamphlets setting forth the cost of advanced courses in "the school of the higher human culture." The lecturer spoke principally of love. He started in on color and declared that when we are nervous it is because we wear wrong col ored clothes; that when we are irri table it is because the color scheme does not fit with out souls. "Him" and "her" were discussed at length. Everything straight is "him;" everything crooked or curved is "her." Greek architecture and sculpture crept Into the lecture, "him" figures and "her" figures, "him" sounds and Vher" sounds, "him" letters and "her" letters. Fish love, bird love, four-footed love that walks in broad meads and fertile fields, spooning angels and rocks that were a combination of "him" and "her" were thrown at the 35 middle-aged women, the 11 aged men and the bored newspaper re porter. John Milton Scott's principal mes sages are delivered at the school of higher human culture, located in a somewhat passe boarding house occupying an ancient mansion at the corner of Fifth and Jefferson streets. The prices for further im mersion in. this fountain of intelli gence were set forth in the pam phlets distributed at the door $25 each for the courses on "Light and Color in Healing and. Life" and "The Psychology of Successful Business." As an introductory prjce, wisdom Is marked down one-half, each course selling for $12. "The Love of Him and Her" comes higher, this brand of information being marked at $60. . . '- Ramblers Club Plans Outing. . The Ramblers' club will hold Its annual outing today on the arge Swan.

THIS advertisement will probably create the im pression .that the Bon Marche is selling off a col lection of "genuine an tiques." "Au contraire!" as our French friends would say, everything is new and good and stylish. The Bon Marche is merely suffering from a case of "business indigestion" too much of everything. Hence the sale and hence the as- ' tonishing prices. Please come in the morn ings. It is impossible to wait on the afternoon crowds the. store is four sizes too small ! And besides, the sale is go ing so much better than we expected. And there isn't going to be very much left in a few more days! Monday 9 o'clock everything will be ready. I thank you.
