WASHINGTON. Dec. 3. The gossips
here have been trilling their tongues
overtime since the royal wedding.
They cannot
j quite make It
i out. They have
never doubted
,that there Is a
Santa Claus, out

recent London
news yarns, which
appear to h a v e
been just about
the best fa.rv
tales written
since Hans Chrls

wiped the rain
bow ink from his pen and tucked
It away forever.
The speculation Is not entirely un
justified. In view of the fact that
the royal household chose to ma ice
such a public affair of the wedding
that It assumed a public significance
beyond its Inherent personal nature.
As near as our wariest authorities
well connected with London can learn.
most of the talk, as usual, is Mini:
The story accredited here la that
the royal family made It the biggest
royal wedding In 550 years solely for
patriotic effect. England Is facing a
hard winter. A section of the people
is restless. A certain high American
official said not long ago that he
would not be surprised to see major
trouble In stolid England this winter.
The crown la the symbol of British
authority. A royal wedding la a na
tional patriotic celebration. The poor
generally will not begrudge the ex
penditure, but will be touched by
the traditional appeal. It was go:d
regal politics.

Royalty moves in a stratosphere of

whether the following realistic ex

ROME, Dec. 3. Jp) France and
Germany today signed "an agreement
of peace" over the Sear basin terri
tory. By the terms of this agreement
v.htch Is expected to end the grate
controversy over the future sovereign
ity of the district. Germany will pay
France 900.000.000 franca (approxi
mately $59,400,000) and 11.000.00C

private credits in the Saar basin and.
: arthcrmore, Germany guarantees
equal rights to voters and non-vote-a
among all the inhabitants of the Star
legardless of race, religion or lan
guage. Two Part Agreement.
Receiving the foreign pi-ess till
Uterooon, the Spanish delegate to
',he committee of three, Lopez Oil van,
told the correspondents that the
agreement was divided Into two parts,
political and economic.
The political accord, he said, is di
vided Into three parts as follows:
(1) Germany guaranteea to extend
to non-voters the same standing as
that of voters;
(2) All have equal rights to aocisl
Insurance and state assistance;
(3) The Inhabitants of .the flsir
!ave equal rights"" regard less of lar...
,;age, race and religion.
The financial accord, said the Span
ish delegate, colls for the payment by
Germany of 900.000.000 francs for ttie
mines, which are the property of the
French government, and for the pri
vate credits held by France, as jwcll
as a payment of 11.000.000 tons of
coal from the Saar mines.
Exchange Untouched.
France and Germany, by the accord
reached an agreement In a method cf
payment which will not Interfere with
Germany's foreign exchange.
OH van said the committee of three,
composed of himself. Baron Pompo
Aloisl of Italy and Ambassador Can
lillo of Argentina, had received from
ihe league council only a mandate of
forming proposals to be laid before
the council, but hed been able to
go beyond this mandate and reach a
cirect agreement between the two in
terested parties which had been sign
ed today by the German and French
embassadors.
"This is a success for the League of
Nations," said Ollvan. "At the same
time, the committee expresses the
hope that this accord will bring peace
to Europe."
