OLIVIA was reported to have flat ly rejected the plea of the neutral Lttin-American nations for a truce with Paraguay In tbelr dispute over the Gran Chaco. The Paraguayans assumed that this meant war was certain and went ahead with their preparations. It was officially an nounced in La Pax that a Paraguayan force had attacked a defense post on the frontier and was repulsed by Bolivian troops. Brazilian rebels In Sao Panlo state had an agreement with the navy that the latter would not indulge In hos tilities for the time being; but the rebels fired machine guns on naval planes dropping manifestos over Montserrat, which seemed to end the semi-neutral attitude of the navy. Seven of Its planes flew over Fort Itaipn at the entrance of Santos har bor and destroyed It with bombs. The federal forces were said to hare made considerable gains from both the north and the south.

The demand bad been submitted to France in the form of an aide memoire and some days later was given to the public by Baron Von Xeurath, foreign minister. It Is really an ultimatum, announcing that unless the equality In armaments Is granted by the powers, Germany will quit the world disarmament con ference. Before and after the publication of the note. Gen. Kurt von Schleicher, minister o f defense, declared in ad dresses and interviews that if the de mand were not granted Germany would arm anyway, and be was most emphatic In hia statements. To newspaper men In Koeuigsberg be as serted stormily: " I mean everything I have said. We will no longer stand for being treated like a second rate nation.” Premier Herriot decided that France’s reply to the Germans should be a refusal to discuss their demands, and in this be was upheld by the cab in et He also disapproved mixing up modification o f the Versailles treaty with the disarmament conference, and In his answer said that If the Ger mans questioned the accepted Inter pretation of the Versailles treaty and the League covenant the matter must be referred to arbitration by the League council or the world court Rome stress was also placed on the fact that the military clauses In the treaty of Versailles form the basis o f many other post war treaties and that the entire edifice of post war Europe will be Imperiled If they are tampered with.

Stone, lie said the board and the American Cotton Co-operative associa tion had agreed to the terms laid down by th e Reconstruction Finance corporation for a loan of $5t',tXXV- (XXI, stipulating that their holdings o f near ly 2.000,000 bales of cotton be taken off the market until 1933. J. C.

The stabilisation corpora tion, therefor, is no longer a factor In the grain market. It still holds what Mr. Stone called “a certain amount o f futures contracts* which wili be held at least until after the beginning of the next year. A loophole for the disposal of the cash wheat was left by the provision that, though this wheat would be kept off the market until the new year, this limitation would not apply to possible sales to foreign countries not reckoned as Important buyers of American grain.

The cotton growers, he pointed out. will get the full benefit of the market for their crop o f this year »ithoot the price-dulling Interference of the hold over crop.

They also called on Gov. Dan Turner to try to Induce the gov ernors of several middle west states, at a conference in Sioux City, to In stitute an embargo “ upon all food stuffs from the middle western states at less than production costs.” Pickets outside Sioux City wrecked a number of trucks and Injured the drivers, but the sheriff's forces then got busy and dispersed them and re moved from the roads the formidable obstructions placed by the farmers. In Nebraska the picketing was aban doned for the present. circles o f the country F INANCIAL were intensely Interested to read of the new plans for the Contlnentsl Illinois Bank and Trust company of Chicago, largest bank outside of NVw York city. The directors voted to na tionalize the institution and to set up special reserves o f $40,000.000 out of surplus to cover losses incurred. As a further mark of conservatism they voted a quarterly dividend of $2 a share In comparison with $3 in each o f the two preceding periods and with a former annual rate o f $16. The bank's capital remains unchanged at $75.000,000. The directors explained to the stock holders that “the development o f a plan for nationalizing the bank was suggested by recent legislative pro posals regarding the banking system of the United States, all o f which In dicates a distinct trend In the direc tion of a more unified cationni struc ture, strengthened and controlled by the federal banking authorities.'’ SEPTEMBER 11. the eight- eenth anniversary of the Rattle of the Marne, a fine memorial of that mighty struggl- was pvvscutcd to the French nation by America, »-hone clt» Iscn* to the number 4.(XX'.iXXt con tributed Its coat.
