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.
Ames, la., Aug. 6.—The funeral
train of President Harding passed
through Ames at 7:30 a.m. today
while a crowd of 7,000 thronged
the station and right of way and

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.
