French “Sitting Tight” By MARK SULLIVAN. Paris, June 29.—Attempts of Bri tain and France to come to an under standing about, what to say to Ger many in answer to its note, now al ready three weeks old. have been in terrupted by the prolonged niiiiis terial crisis in Belgium. The cause commonly given for that ^B'l'isis is the dispute about the Flem I^Rh language. But another cause ^^teighing as patch is Belgian diseejn Sj^Rt with the occupation of tile Ruhr. imports more than SO per ^K> of the wheat it must have fur ^Wread. For those imports of wheat pays with exports of manufac tured goods. The invasion of the Ruhr has inter fered with Belgian manufacturers to tin extent that makes it uneasy about a possible economic crisis. For this reason, opinion in Belgium swings steadily to the British point of view about the Ruhr against the French. Break Is Feared. But Premier Theunis, the only man of much political power in Belgium, by temperament and due to circum stances, Is fearful of a break with the French government. As soon as Belgium gets a new' ministry, British and French negotiations will go on. Four European nations in one do scree or another, and in the order named, are headed for trouble be (ause of the Ruhr. Germany is on tlie verge of an imminent crisis, and steps are already being taken on the assumption that within a short time Germany will need relief front Amer ica in the organised way previously furnished to Austria and Russia. Next to Germany, Belgium is the ne st menaced, and any prolongation of the Ruhr crisis will bring it to a crisis. Britain has upward of 1.000, ( i of unemployed, and its only ex l i pith .1 of rel.ef lies in an ending hpMfkhe paralysis In the Ruhr. Fiance “Sitting Tight.” , France is not suffering now and § does not anticipate trouble, largely because it lt^ practicing credit in flation. feeding itself within Us own borders, and is trying to limit imports to maintain an equilibrium with exports. Everybody knows, however, that complete collapse in Germany will mean ultimately seri ous economic and financial conse quences for France. But France knows that it is better fixed for a long strain than any of the other nations involved, and Its policy of "sitting tight" is based upon that confidence. (Copyright. 1913.)

Attempt Made to Invalidate Bank Fund Law “Investment Bankers” and Re ceivers for Failed Institu tions Seek Legislation, Gov. Bryan Charges. Special I>i»patrh to Ip Omaha Her. Lincoln. June 29.—Governor Charles W. Bryan announced today that in formation had 'reached him to the ef fect that certain bankers, whom he termed "investment, bankers,” and certain of the 50 receivers in charge of failed banks in Nebraska, had de termined to go into the courts and at tempt to have the bank guarantee fund commission act declared invalid. "There are hankers in Nebraska who have capitalized failures hy forc ing cheap sale of securities of failed tanks and there are 50 receivers anil attorneys for receivers collecting thousands who are naturally per turbed over the creation of a commis sion of bankers to supervise this busi ness." the governor said. "It is natural that they would de sire to retain their jobs under couft jurisdiction rather than to have ai commission of hard-headed hankers decide how much they and their at-1 torneys should collect." The governor- announced this threatened action of the receivers and “investment bankers" at the in itial meeting of the new commission held in his office. Before the commission went Into executive session fhe governor called newspaper men in to listen to an ad dress he made to members of the commission. The governor dwelt la particular on the costly and lengthy receiverships of the failed ybanks and the immense attorney fees charged against these banks. He urged the commission to do everything in its power to terminate receiverships, dispense with costly at torneys' fees and attempt to consoli date management of failed bankR. The governor also urged that the commission use $1,000 annually from Its appropriation granted hy the legis lature to pay K.’ C. Knudson, secre tary of the department of trade and commerce, for acting as chairman < l the commission. * Mary Miles Minter Taking “Rest Cure’ in Sanitarium Los Angeles, June 29.—Mary Miles Minter, motion picture actress, for whom friends began searching yester day when they learned she had been absent from her home for a week, is in a sanitarium at Pasadena, near Los Angeles, taking a "rest cure,” according to her grandmother, Mrs. Juliette Mites.

To Visit Yellowstone Br Assnrlsted rroi. Helenn. Mont., June 29.—President Harding arrived in Helena Into this afternoon for seven hours’ stay nnd an address tonight on the subject of social justice, women nnd labor. When he leaves here late tonight lie will lay aside speech-making for two days and give himself up to enjoy ment of the wonders of Yellowstone National park. Arriving at the station here, the chief executive nnd Mrs. Harding were taken for a drive about the y-lty and to the t'nited Htates Veterans’ hospital, where they shook hands and spoke kindly words to the soldier pa tents. A pubic reopton follow’d at a tiotel and after dnner the presidential party wt-nt to Hhriners’ hall, where Mr. Harding delivered his address. Stop at Three Towns. Stops were made at three Montana towns enroute here from ButtP. At Basin the president shook hands with several hundred who gathered at the station and at Boulder and f'lancey he made brief addresses, speaking a few words of thanks for the greetings extended. Lack of time and inability' of his audience to hear him at the open air address at Butte earlier in the day caused the executive to shorten hi* remarks and it was regarded as likely that he would take occasion at some future date, while en route to the Pacific coast, to discuss more fully the subject selected for his Butte ad dress, “National Business Conditions." Outlining the steps taken under government direction to wipe out un employment and restore confidence in business, the president asserted "if our procedures have been rather plain and old-fashioned, they have yet produced results that justify pride and require no apology " Letting Better and Better, "If we are accused of getting no where in particular,” he added, "we may very well reply that at any rate w'e have been able to stay right here, that we regard it as a good' place to stay and that day by day we have been getting better and bet ter. 1 am disposed freely to ad mit that some other folks have had more excitement than we have had; but a good many people in this world would he glad to exchange their stroke of excitement for a modest share In our American accumulation of simple contentment and dinner table necessaries.” The president said he did not pre sent the report on revived business conditions as "the accomplishment of a particular administration or the justification of any party’s claim upon the public confidence.” <icnins of Nation. "Rather it Is placed before you a» testimony to the common sense and sound genius of a nation which could make Its cooperation extend to a continent and Its altruisms embrace 100,000,000 of humanity," he added, "Two years ago we made a careful census of unemployment in the 1’nlted Htates and found 4,500.000 or 5,000,000 workers without jobs. That was bad; but since then matters have ta-en reversed and if nowadays we are dis posed to worry about the problem of unemployment wo have to con sider ways and means to fill 500,000 or 1,000,000 jobs which want workers nnd can’t find them. Thnt is the simplest picture of the Industrial evo lution of the last two years. That Is the bedrock foundation on which American and American administra tion have erected their confidence that this people will not l>e led into the paths of devious experimentation, the mazes of untried economic theory, the labyrinths of doctrinaire al truism."
