Danger of Nationalists Obtaining Gontvol Is Recognized; Real Crisis Faced ait Present. NAVY PLANES ME SWIFT PROMISE OF EQUALING LAND MACHINES IS SEEN. BY MAXIMILIAN HARDEN. Germany's Foremost Publicist. (Copvright, 1922, by The Oresonian.) BERLIN, July 22. (Special Cable.) The German repuolic faces a mid summer crisis. The government is afraid to dissolve the reichstag and appeal to the people for fear that more nationalists would be re turned. Every citizen, considering the government's timidity feels un safe. The Hamburg banker, Max Warburg, whose brother is a part ner in the American banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., a superla tively patriotic German, who, as a member of the first German peace delegation, started a movement for the rejection of the treaty, has been so threatened that police have or dered iiim not to leave his house. Another banker, well known in the United States. Herr Denberg, ex-colonial minister, has decided, after repeated menaces to sell his house in the Grunewald section, which has received a sinister repu tation through the" murder of Rathenau. and the attack upon my self. Two editors whose names fig ured on the murder list found by the police have fled from Berlin with false passports under police protection. Police Protection Asked. StreSsemann, the monarchist lead er, who favored unrestricted sub marine warfare and annexation of Belgium, urgently requested police protection because he saw persons outside his window. Still more dumfoundine. Stinnes himself, who was the warmest nationalist throughout the war, and even re cently demonstrated his unchanged opinions by baptising ships Tirpitz, Hindenburg and Ludendorff, this fearless and nerveless man has been persuaded by insistent warn ings to leave his home at Mulheim ander, Ruhr, and, with his entire family, move to an isolated private house in Berlin. Perhaps the fact that he has French blood, has opposed any rapid restoration of the monarchy, favors an economic entente with France, wants international peace for busi ness reasons and won't supply money for a counter-revolution and a war of revenge, is the reason he is threatened. But it is useless to seek motives. Millions of Germans ;:re persuaded that every republican 'lid Jew is a pacifist and a traitor. Secret Body Is Formed. Thirty or forty thousand young .t-n. ex-off icers, students and high ; huut boys, , have pledged them selves into a secret organization throughout the country, blindly to carry out whatever they are or dered to do. They, are pledged not to allow themselves to fall alive into police hands, as witness "the suicide of the two men suspected of the slaying of Rathenau., In carrying on the campaign of assassination, they are told they are not murderers, but are in reality executioners of judgments of the "secret people's court." In such an' atmosphere preparations must be made for a general election. While the monarchists are marking every democratic leader for death, the government issues only paper laws that cannot be enforced without coercing Bavaria into a coal block ade, which it is afraid to put into force. That today is Germany's crisis must be understood by the world. It is a crisis for all humanity if the infectious military monarchists are to be fought with other weapons than high-flown speeches and paper threats. Youth Attack After Debauch. The two youths ordered to slay me first squandered 360,000 marks on drink and women, then received their orders and acted when - this money was gone. Tet thousands of people throughout Germany are in clined to excuse them because they supposedly acted for what they thought patriotic motives. Their arrangements were, as a matter of fact, entirely businesslike. The in termediary who received the order from Munich telegraphed them: "If everything is in order you can have more at your disposal; other wise not, as we are financially em barrassed. Get through with it and we can breathe again. I consider the present time three days after Rathenau's assassination particu larly favorable. Good luck." Money Coolly Demanded. The principal, Anker Mann, was a corps student lieutenant who had reecived the iron cross, first class, married, but who nevertheless both before and after the receipt of the murder wage made a living chiefly as a procurer of prostitutes. The police supposed he had gone among mis class m Berlin, but neverthe less immediately after the deed he went to the headquarters of the derman national party and asked for one Dryander, son of the impe rial court chaplain. Finding him out he crudely told Count Yorok: "r have just killed Harden and must get away quickly. I have ' come for the necessary money." Yorok himself informed the police officials. Among the other conspirators are Ilsemann and .viueianer, oiooa relations of two gentlemen high in favor of the two nneims of Doom and Wieringen.

The naval bureau of aeronautics is now developing a hip plane for combat and pursuit in conjunction with fleet operations, which from tests now feeing conducted gives promise of equaling any land plane in general use1 by the. army or navy for combat purposes in' addition to its being adapted to ship use, the navy department announced today.

RAILROAD CAMP HELD UP Three Robbers Get $600 in Pay Checks and Money in Raid. PENDLETON, Or., July 22. (Spe cial.) Three men held up an O.-W. R. & N. railroad camp at Huron, east of this city, at midnight last night, and got about $600, mostly in pay checks. One man, who refused to give his name, is under arrest in this city following an attempt to pass one of the pay checks here this morning. He has been identified as one of the three holdup men. The railroad workers, who have been on construction work in the Blue mountains, had just been paid and a very few of the checks had been cashed. The holdup men walked into camp and at the point of re volvers held the entire camp up until they finished their search for money. Members of the sheriff's office, co-operating with railroad officers, notified all business houses of the stolen checks and the arrest of one of the robbers followed this morning. FISHERMAN IS DROWNED BY WILLIAM BIRD. (Copyright. 1922, by The OreBOnian.) ' PARIS, July 22. (Special cable.) French policy now is being con centrated on England to obtain re lief from the financial crisis. The French at laBt are convinced that mutual cancellation cannot be looked for with the approval of the United States under existing condi tions. But they hope that, later on, something can be done. That the reparations clauses ' oi the treaty of Versailles are un workable is now the conclusion of most of. the leaders of French finances. Concessions so far made, they say, have all been in England's favor. Poincare, as a result, has taken this stand: "No more concessions without compensation." The only question is, what kind of compensation? For a time it was hoped. that England might be induced to yield on the Turkish question and adopt the French thesis of a peace in Asia Minor at the expense of the Greeks. This would have been in France's favor. But now that seems im possible. Debt Question Attacked. So now the big guns of French diplomacy are turning toward the debt question. England is being urged to start the ball rolling by annulling her credits against France. Back; of the proposal is the belief that if England should act it would be easier to get Amer. ican approval of a general cancel lation, i England has, after all, the fmost to gain from general cancellation, because she is the trading nation par excellence, and it is agreed everywhere that international debts hamper trade. England will also obtain in return a reduction of Germany's reparation d e b t, for which she has constantly clamored. "Let England show the way with a fine gesture of sacrifice and then it will be easy to explain to the American voter that America is not being trapped into paying for the whole war out of her own oocket." French Proposal Leaks Out. That is the French proposal which is beginning to leak out discreetly. And while England has been deaf to similar proposals in the past, Mr. Lloyd George has never renounced the right to change his mind, especially when tiii-re is some political advantage to be gained from it. In the present case he would gain favor in twoquarters oy sucn a move, ne wjuta wn the sympathy of the pro-French elements represented by the North cliffe press and their half-brothers, the "die hards" of Morning Post nllpe'innnp- and h would eet Klltj port from the Manchester liberals, who want free, unhampered rrat ing for their giant factories. It- is not altogether impossible that some such arrangement will come about. When it does, watch for a, drive on America to take sim ilar action. - Leon Titus of '01ympia Re-elected President and State Capital Wins 1923 Convention. OLYMPIA, Wash., July 22. (Spe cial.)
