Excursion on 1st and 3d Tuesday of Each Month SPECULATORS SCRAMBLING FOR DOLLARS New Plunge Toward Oblivion Follows Reichsbank Action—* Sixty Printing H6uses Still Issuing Big Output. BY KARL H. VON WIEGAND, Universal Service Correspondent Beilin, Aug. 6.—The German mark plunged headlong into unknown depths Monday. It is nearing obliv ion. i With one jump it reached the offi cial quotation of 1,670,000 to the dol lar and shortly after the bourse closed the demand for the American dollar, which is in a fair way of be coming the national currency of Ger many, became so great that 2,000,000 marks was bid. With the daily doubling and treb ling of prices keeping pace with the depreciation, 60 printing establish ments are printing notes day and night. Eight trillion marks was the daily output for the last few days. But There’s Still Shortage Even with that extraordinary out put there is a tremendous shortage of money, owing to the huge quant ities necessary for the transaction of any kind of business. “The death dance of trillions” is what the National Zeltung calls the situation Monday night. Bank notes of the denomination of 60 million marks Cach will be Issued .soon. Monday’s plunge was attributed to the fact that the reichsbank took the lid off by rescinding its decree which prohibited the buying and selling of foreign exchange except at the offi cial exchange rate fixed by the bank. The result was an extraordinary scramble for dollars and pounds sterling, everybody trying to unload their worthless marks at any price. Retailers Refusing Marks The confusion and chaos increased through the refusal of many busi ness houses to accept the mark in payment for goods. Gasoline for automobiles is no lenger obtainable except with the dollar. The plunge of the mark confronts the cabinet with a new crisis which may reach its first climax Wednes day when Chancellor Cuno addresses the special session of the reichstag. Germany’s internal situation daily becomes more critical. COOLIDGE CONSIDERS FARMER PROBLEMS Hears Outline of Harding’s Tentative Plans for Expan sion of Credits Washington, Aug 6.—The ques - tion or federal aid to the farmer was one of the problems to which President Coolidge turned his atten tion Monday in formulating policies of his administration. Fred Satrek, director of the War Finance Corporation, which has many millions of dollars of agricul tural credit outstanding, conferred with the chief executive and gave him an outline of the steps Presi dent Harding had in mind for the benefit of agricultural interests. The status of the finance corpora tion’s business was described in de tail to President Coolidge, who ex pressed deep interest and showed thorough eomprhension of the ac tivities and functions of the corpora tion. Mr. Starek explained that Pres ident Harding had begun Po evolve a new scheme of rural credits a few months ago, designed to splve some of the most vexatious prob lems which from time to time con front and confound agriculture and its affiliated interests as well as the government. Mr. Harding had - intended to give further thought to this project upon his return to Washington, with the expectation of being able to submit definite rec ommendations to congress next win* ter. ITALY'S STAND BACKS BRITISH ATTITUDE Note on Ruhr and Reparations Made Public by Rome Foreign Office Romo, Aug. 6.—The Italian note addressed to the British government, which was published Monday night, confirms the general understanding in Britain and Italy that Premier Mussolini is opposed to the German passive resistance, but is against any military occupation of the Ruhr. The note insists that the gradual retirement of the Franco-Belgian troops begin at the moment an agree ment is signed by the Alies and Germany. The note reiterates the necessity of solving the questions surrounding > reparations and iriter-AUied debts at the same time. Rome newspapers comment favor ably on the disclosure that the Italian viewpoint is nearly identical with the British viewpoint.

SECRETARY UNABLE TO PROBE HIM Meanwhile, Head of State De partment Will Avoid Report ers—Politicians Believe Re publican Breach Widened. BY H. H. STANSBURY Universal Service Correspondent Washington, Aug. 6.—Becretary of State Hughes caused to be issued on Monday an announcement that there were to be no further conferences be tween officials of the state depart ment and newspaper representative* until some time next week, at the •arllest. Back of. this announcement it is authoritatively known that Secretary Hughes has been unable In a number of consultations to obtain any defin ite Indication from President Cool idge concerning the policies he pro poses to adopt for dealing with pend ing foreign questions. Mr. Coolidge'a most intimate ad visers assert that when the new executive Is ready to define a pro gram in connection with Interna tional problems it unquestionably will be based upon the consideration that he has been Injected into the po llclcal situation as a candidate for the republican presidential nomina tion, and any policy he envolves now will be carried Into the next national campaign. These friends of the president, most of them new to Washington, but recognized as close to Mr. Coolldge, admit that he has been inclined to ogree with the argu ments for participation by the Unit ed States in a world court. They do not hesitate to point out, however, that Calvin Coolldge is a^ most astute politician. Believe Breach Widened Mr. Hughes’ action came at the height of another day of intensive politldal discussion in conferences of republican leaders with President Coolldge, and among themselves Monday night sentiment among the gathering politicians had pretty well crystallaed on the following view of the present situation and the future outlook: That the political earthquake pre cipitated by President Harding’s death, which put Mr. Coolldge in the White House and made him titular leader of the republican party, has widened the already existing breach between the reactionaries and pro gressives almost beyond hope of re- ) pair. t | That Mr. Coolldge is a candidate for the presidential nomination to succeed himself, and lined up behind him will be the same "old guard" group that nominated Harding. This element of the party Is responsible for the enactment of the Each-Cum mins transportation act, it stands for the Fordney-McCumbejr high tariff law and it put through the present federal tax law—all of which are bit terly opposed by the progressives and largely constitute the foundation of the political revolt in the west. Hopes of Unity 8hatter#d? That this situation, with Mr. Cool ldge’s own established conservatism, definitely ends any hope of bringing the progressives into line behind his candidacy, and thereby gives added ^strength to the third party move ment, unless a progressive candidate is nominated. That this lineup makes Senator Hiram W. Johnson of California an oustanding candidate for the presi dential nomination, as representing the progressive elements. There Is no cohesion between these elements now. La Follette, Brookhart, Fraz ier, Shlpstead, Maghus Johnson, and Borah from the Rockies section, do not stand for Identical programs. But they are together on enough things to make It an easy matter to combine forces against a common foe. Extra 8ession Unlikely Republican leaders predicted too, that President Coolidge would not call an extra session of congress, ex cept as a last resort in dealing with the coal situation, or unless he can prepare a definite program, of legisla tion on vital domestic needs which ■will conform to his own conservative principles, and at the same time have some assurance of* acceptance. Mr. Coolidge was declared by callers - Monday to have stated that he had an open mind on the subject. The impression is taking root that the new executive, following his his toric stand in the Boston police strike, will attempt a ten-strike in dealing with the coal controversy, if he becomes convinced that a strike actually is threatened. It was sug gested in quarters which had been In communication with him that he may call the' anthracite operators and miners together and say to them that there shall be no strike, that the full power of the federal government will be employed to keep the mines in operation, and demand that they settle their differences.

HAMLETS VIE WITH CITIES IN TRIBUTE Class Distinctions Put Aside Along Route of Harding Funeral Train—Into Ohio Monday Night. BY JAMES R. NOURSE, Universal Service Correspondent. ON feOARD HARDING FUNERAL, TRAIN, Aug. 6.—Through the green corn lands of Ohio state, where he Was born, and into the cool valleys of the Shendoah’s winding courses, all that is mortal of the late President Harding was speeding Monday night on its way to the nation's capital. Simple and reverent tribute to the departed chieftain was paid at every station along the route followed by the funeral special- The smallest hamlet vied with the largest metro politan centers in expressing its re spect for the dead and its regret for his passing. Among all those who stood In re spectful silence as the train shot on its way eastward, there was no choice, no class distinction, nor sem blance of rank or preferred status of one above the another. All were Just Americans, each striving In his own humble way to show the deep feel ing which gripped the nation’s heart when Warren Harding passed from busy life 1/ito his final sleep. Widow Remains Courageous. Mrs. Harding continues to stand the Journey amazingly well. She has exhibited marvelous fortitude ever since the tragic announcement was made. Her strength of mind and spirit have been a cause of wondrvr ment to.all tl.ose about her. Monday morning. Mrs. Harding slept late, as has been her custom since the Journey from San Fran cisco was begun. She announced that she had slept well and felt much rested. The heat In the stateroom was somewhat oppressive, and when she had dressed she went silently into the rear section of the car where the casket rested. There for a few sacred momenta the grieving widow sat alone with her precious dead. What were her thoughts in those mements none can tell. There could be no doubt In her soul as to the place In eternity's sphere her loved dead would occupy. For her own future, perhaps, there may have been a fervent prayer for strength to carry on the tasks which her husband laid down when he pass ed from earthly consciousness Into eternal Bleep. Devotion to his memory will fittingly enable her to finish the work which he began. Unanimity Impressive. Among all the scenes which have attended the progress of the funeral special from the Pacific coast back to Washington, lane has been more exalting nor more effecting than the unanimity of feeling among all those who have saluted the funeral cortege on its sad Journey. Everywhere there have been the same silent groups, the honor guard of war vet erans, the dipping of the colors, and the remarkable outpouring of men, of women and children in every walk of life, standing at attention in solemn and humble reverence. ijaDOrers in overalls, tra.ni nit?it with faces streaked with oil and grime, farmers and their wives who had driven from many miles out in the farm country, held just as prom lnet a place in these demonstrations of sorrow as did city folks whose fine houses could be seen along the Bhaded streets of the cities and towns. And the children, of whom Warren Harding was especially fond —thousands upon thousands of them, barefoted tads in overalls, infants in arms, and the clean-cut boys and girls of high school age—had a most important part in ali the fine ex hibitions of sorrow which were mani fested as the train sped by. Chicago Disappointed. Chicago was reached shortly after 5 o'clock Monday afternoon, but the special did not enter the city proper. The train was switched from the Northwestern tracks at Kedzie avenue station over the Belt line to the Baltimore & Ohio tracks, for the final journey from Chicago to Wash? ington. This was a source of sincere disap pointment to Chicago, whose citizens had planned formal ceremonies of an elaborate nature to pay fiting honor to the late executive. Out of defer ence to Mrs. Hardiing’s wishes, how ever, the train was switched around, the suburbs of the clay onto the Bal timore & Ohio tracks, therby depriv ing the great mass of the city’s pop ulation of a view of the funeral car. The schedule after leaving Chicago called for a swift journey across Ohio, Indiana, and the trip of Penn sylvania, and on Into the valley of the Cumberland in Maryland and so to Washington. The train will not pass through Pittsburgh, the nearest ap proach to that city being Laughlln Junction. It is believed that all the time lost on the way will be made up so that arrival of the funeral train in Wash ington will be about 1 or 1:30 o’clock Tuesday afternoon. FIGHT ON C00LIDGE BRINGS BIG PROTEST New York, Aug. 6.—A city conven tion of the socialist party of New York nearly broke up in a riot Sun day when a resolution denouncing president Calvin Coolidge as a ‘‘re actionary and a foe to labor” was read by William Karlem of the reso lutions committee. All over the convention hall dele gates leaped to their feet with violent protests against spirit of the reso lution and the terms in which It was coached.
