German Crash Feared by U. S. England's Efforts to Soften French Policy Regarded as Failure. By AMoriatfd Pre*«. I Washington, Aug. 25.—The internal situation In Germany, notwithstand ing recent Indications of some Im provement, is regarded in Washing ton with grave apprehension. Most American officials for obvious reasons have refrained from discuss ing the question publicly but many members of the house anti senate and others who have studied European conditions at first hand this summer agree privately that the outlook is disquieting. In broadly representative diplomatic circles too, there is a pro nounced and almost universal note of discouragement. Some representa tives of countries not concerned di rectly with German reparations re gard a crash in central Europe as in evitable. In diplomatic circles a relaxation of the pressure in the Ruhr is not ex pected because of what is regarded as an inflexible public opinion in France and even in Germany, said to preclude any marked change of policy on outstanding questions at issue. Any such change was held to he Impossible long before Premier Baldwin made his initial statement on reparations In commons in what has !>een regarded as an effort to save central Europe from disaster. In these circumstances it has been made clear since President Coolldge assumed office that there appears no course open to the Washington gov ' ernment with respect to Europe other | than the one mapped out under the | administration of President Harding, j The wisdom of that policy is regard- ! ed at both the White House and the State department as already con- i firmed by events. There Is no doubt Washington officials want to do what they can to help, but the very ele ments which constitute the greater danger signs abroad are regarded as increasing the peril of any effort to ward mediation.

Nation Seeking r> Missing Baby I P j I Case of Lillian McKenzie Com pared to That of Charlie Ro»s. By t'nlierftul Nrrvlc*. New York, Aug. 25.—Years have rolled by since Charlie Ross was stolen and a whole nation talked of nothing else but Ills kidnaping and searched for him In vain. Today all New Y'ork is asking; "Have they found the baby yet?" And the one topic of conversation among 6,n00.000 people is the strange disappearance of little Lillian McKenzie. At the end of the seventh day of search the police are at the end of a cold trail and Peter McKenzie and his wife sit in the humble tenement and gaze dazedly at the little snap shot of their 3-nionths old kidnaped child. The missing child always grips at the heart of a people, but when ‘o the natural parent longing Is added the strange lack of motive for the stealing of a 3-monthS-old infant, there is no end to the interest it Inspires. No Reason for Kidnaping. For Lillian is the child of poor parents; she was ill and emaciated when she wras snatched from her car riage in front of a 10-cent store in w-hich her mother was making pur chases; there was no enemy in the world known to Peter McKenzie and wife, and there haa bec-n no trace ,f a body to point to a crime of a warped mind or one torn by a fan cied wrong. It is a kidnaping appar ently without a reason. The police, baffled at every point, have hung their hope on the theory that the child was stolen from the carriage by a beggar woman, one of those derelicts of society. They be lieve the woman Intends to use the sickly looking child to Inspire pity and wring dole from a public that does not pity easily. In the subway, on the elevated, in the streets, Lillian McKenzie's stranlte disappearance is talked over, guessed at. pitied. ( lues Run Down. Friday the police were running down letters purporting to give trace of the child. Two letters, one from Brooklyn, the other from Rutherford, N. J., demanded < 1.000 for a ransom. The Rutherford letter was passed over as that of a crank. It was signed "K. K. K.” and marked with thumb prints in ink and demanded that the money be left in the smoke stack of a factory at Rutherford. Student to Preach. Charles A.
