By Karl H. vea tVIegand
Cntasm! Serftee Special Comvoctett
f Berlin, Aug:. 48. Germany la gripped
la a .veritable panic of fer that her
cupboard will be empty the coming
. winter.
The cry of "The wolf la at the door
. resounds throughout the country.
r This la the immediate effect of the
..vMw deflation of . the mark and the
corresponding; Inflation of prices. In
tensified by the exaggerated fears
: that the bulk of the population will go
hungry and freeze.
Frantic buying is reported in all
- section of the country, where every
thing; available for food and clothing
la being hoarded for consumption or
"speculative purposes.
'' Deeply concerned by the alarm
among its people, and itself shuddering
."befqjethe problem confronting it, the
, cabinet today held a special meeting
-1 to consider measures to meet the situa
tion The Importance of the meeting
and the gravity of the situation was
, ' emphasized by the fact that President
: bert himself presided, he only tak
ing a chair in the cabinet sessions
'-' When really grave matters confront It.
I CALLS JH.Ii MIXISTERS
' t Symptomatic uneasiness is felt even
' In the government. Chancellor Wlrth
having summoned by telegraph all the
prime ministers of the German states
to confer with the central government
: . on Monday.
The discrepancy between the exor
bitant high prices of the necessities of
life to Germans and the often absurd
cheapness of the same articles to for
elgners by reason of the exchange rate
are Inspiring many efforts to restrict
selling to foreigners.
i Just as water seeks lower levels, so
do the buyers gravitate toward low
. prices. Illustrations of this are seen
on all of Germany's numerous borders.
! Across the Swiss, Dutch, Danish and
. Polish borders would-be buyers are
coming, drawn by that" magic word
"bargains." Seeing foreigners buying
cheap what Germans heed most and
cannot buy because of the exorbitant
v prices is giving rise to. a wave of blt
: ter anti-foreign feeling.
5 : ROADS ABE GUARDED
: Along the Csecho-SIovaklan' border
-., roads crossing, the frontier- are being
, barricaded by , barbed wlre.oh the Ger
man side.- Just .as during the war. sus
pects were searched for concealed
: weapons, so now are , persons being
searched for goods bought in Ger
many.' At one place oh the Saxon-Bohemian
. border workmen' of their own accord
; occupied the roads -across the , line
and captured groups of Csech buyers,
- Including many women. They searched
them and took away everything they
had purchased in Germany.
In numerous cities and towns tHr
were .constant reports of refusal to
sell to foreigners at any price. In
Leipzig efforts are being made to
. check sales of furs to foreigners.
-KverynSnere ls the cry. "Germany ia
being: sold out to foreigners." ' -
STISES SUGGESTS JfEW
OFFER TO COMMISSION
London. Aug. 26.iL N. S.) The Ger
man government, acting on suggestions
from Hugo Stinnes, the great German
industrial and financial magnate, is
submitting fresh proposals to the rep
arations commission in support of its
request for an indemnity moratorium,
according to press reports from Berlin
today.
The new German suggestions are
said to concern German coal deliveries
v and the disposition of state owned
t -forests in Germany.
ENGLAND A2TD ITALY STAXD
FIRM AGAif fST FRENCH FLAK
(By VniTerI Serrie.)
Paris. Aug. ts. After the first un
official meeting of the reparations com-
mission following the return of some
of its membe.-s frsm Berlin, the Anglo
French conflict has become wider.
The English, supported by the Ital-
ians, are insisting tat Germany can
pay no more at the present time, mak
ing it plain that a moratorium t must
be granted.
The French seem more Opposed to a
moratorium, than ever.
Belgian diplomats are striving to ef
. , feet a compromise, and are still hope
ful that they wili be able to prevent a
rupture.

Can't Find Bicti :
Man's Grave, He
May StillBe Alive
- Huntington. IwL, Aug.. ML(tj. F.)
Search for, the jrave of?Xr.,j; New
ton Boe, who,lTnyaterkusly disap
peared after being sentenced to the
penitentiary, continued here today.
Government agents trying to settle
an inheritance ta . matter involving
an estate of more than 11,000,000 were
pushing the investigation.
Roe, who died in Chicago last April,
was reported to have been buried in
both Valparaiso "and Markle.
A body was exhumed- at Valparaiso,
but could not be identified. . Investi
gators, claim they have found the
grave at Markle, Relatives are said
to object to exhuming; the body.
Doubt that Roe Was dead was
caused by -a statement from Dr. Bobr
ert W. South of Chicago, who said
that Roe Was still 'alive in South
America.- -
' Roe was sentenced on a charge of
violating the prohibition laws. , j
A fortune said to have been more
than $1,000,000 had dwindled to less
than :$ 100,000 .when authorities at
tempted - to straighten out the estate
after 'IJoe's funeral. ,

(By Cniferwd Serrks.) , ; -London,
Aug. 28. Three caveats were
entered today against the will of Lord
Northcllffe with the view of cancelling
the last document made by' the pub
lisher.
Northcllffe, shortly before his -death.
made a second will naming his wife
executrix. In the first will there Were
four codicils, the first dates March,
1919. the last April, 1922. in which Sir
George Sutton, chairman of the Amal
gamated Press, and vAttoraey Arnhols,
both old friends and colleagues of
Northcllffe, are named executors and
trustees,
Sutton and Arnhols are now opposing
the second will on the ground that
Northcllffe was of unsound mind at
the time of its making. In both docu;
ments Lord N'orthcliffe's wife is under
stood to b named the chie beneficiary

diately following the week-end ball
game.
The dynamite and revolvers. ! accord
ing to the story, were to be furnished

. . Bjr
San Francisco, . Aug,
after tomorrow California voters will
vote at the state primary for congres
sional representatives, state and 'judi
cial offices. ' :
.The campaign has been of great in
terest, especially in the senatorial fight
between Hiram W. Johnson, who seeks
to succeed himself as California's sen
ior representative in the U. S. senate
and Charles . C Moore, a prominent
San Francisco capitalist, who is en
deavoring to unseat him. t
The polls open at - m. and close
at 1 p, m. Pacific coast time.
- The result of the senatorial contest
will probably be known by midnight,
providing there is no close contest,
which is not anticipated from the John
son point of view. . '( :
Southern California, especially LOs
Angeles county, which has a Republican
registration of 253,000. is expected to
be the key to the election of U. S.
senator. '.'' "
It is confidently predicted that John
son will carry Los Angeles county by
a substantial majority, as well, as the
rest of Southern California. The John
son supporters are wagering their
money at even that their choice will
win by 176,000, two to one. that the
senator will have a majority of 75,000
and 4 to 1, that he will win over
Moore by 60,000, with but few takers.
Senator Johnson will close his cam
paign Monday night in Richmond. :
The campaign has been a bitter one,
the Issues being an attack upon the
senator's foreign policy and an attack
upon him because he defended the
people of New Tork against the .trac
tion magnates, while a member in the
upper house of congress. "
State offices to be voted on at Tues
day's election are: . :
Governor, Ueutenant-governor, secre
tary of state, controller, treasurer, at
torney general, suveyor general, chief
justice of the supreme court and a full
legislative ticket and local court offices.

SOMEBODY'S always sleeping in some bed that's why mat
tresses stretch, sag, lump and lose the first comfort and

tinuous wear than almost any other article in the home.
' ."MATORE has given mankind wonderful recuperative powers
i-i through sleep but that sleep must be : thoroughly com
fortable, and restful. Much depends upon the mattress.
ALL tufted mattresses without the exclusive patented Never
Stretch feature are made six inches longer and four inches
wider and tufted down to size. With wear, they naturally
stretch, so losing both their shape and comfort.
