(P) Plans for a brilliant wedding this afternoon at which Edwlna Triplett Putman, daughter of Lieutenant Colonel ana Mrs. Russell I).

(p) Dr. Hans Luther, president of the reichsbank, returned by plane from Paris today without having obtain ed French assistance and with no hope of obtaining it under condi tions acceptable to the German gov ernment. He had sought French aid in ex tending credit to the reichsbank. The bank head went Into confer ence with Chancellor Bruenlng im mediately after his arrival at Tem plehof airdrome and thereafter the cabinet was called into session to consider the drastic measures of departing from Uie gold standard and putting all German exports un der government monopoly. Heavy Withdrawals These developments came on the heels of the news that the reichs bank run on foreign currencies to day reached the record breaking total of 100,000,000 marks (about 825,000,000) during the brief Satur day banking hours. The reason why the cabinet feels obliged to consider such a sensa tional step as putting German cur rency and exports on what might be termed a soviet basis is that the reichbank's gold reserve Is so low now as to cause a fear Mon day's demand for foreign curren cies would Bweep the few remain ing gold millions out of the bank's reserve In a few houra. Going to Basel Dr. Luther will stay here only over night and tomorrow will fly to Basel for a meeting with the world bank directors on Monday. The conditions which Dr. Luther is reported to have laid before the cabinet are: . - ,,. ..v.. Suspension of the program for building vest pocket cruisers. Abandonment of the proposod Austro-German customs union. - Further credit restrictions in Germany. , ' Inauguration of measiiros to pro vent the flight of capital. Creation of a "Locarno o.f the East" or, in other words, formal relinquishment for all time of any hope of regaining Danzig and the Danzig corridor. VET ORGANIZATION ENDORSES EUGENE ASTORIA.

(P) A dire picture of humanity's plight In the event of another war, was drawn by Prime Minister Mac Donald at a peace meeting at tended by 10,000 in Albert Hall today.

He said that the tlrltlah dele gates were going to next year's disarmament meeting at Geneva, determined, by appeals to pledges, to history and to common sense, to persuade the nations to reduce "this enormous and disgraceful burden." "Mankind would be exhausted by another war and all his works and his civilization would be ob literated." he said. "THat Is the end which awaits those who say we will trust our national security to the accumulation of arma ments. Security rests not In arma ments, but In preventing the enures which hitherto have led to actual outbreaks of war." WEARY E BUFFETED BY STRIKE' MOBS'RATE CENTRAL FALLS, R. I.. July 11.
