French-British Situation Grave: Entente Menaced •No Progress Made Toward Settlement of Squabble Over Ruhr — French Premier Standing Pal. B.t t'nher»al Service. London, July 7,—No progress to wards settlement of German repara tions were made during the week's negotiations between Great Britain and France. The crisis now, owing to Premier Poincare’s attitude and his refusal of a writen answer to Premier Bald win’s questionnaire; is most grave. It threatens, according to J. L. Gar vin, in the Sunday Observer, the very existence of the entente. It is clearly understood that the Piiiish government is determined to avert the danger of the economic col lapse of Germany which wquld prob ably be the final blow to disintegrat ing Europe. The government still hopes against hope for an eleventh hour change in the French policy that will save the entente and Insure the world against the horrors of another great war. Most Critical Point. Just hmv black the outlook is may be deduced from the declaration of •Garvin: "We have reached the most critical moment of the postwar Anglo French crisis, which is a real tragedy. It is probably safe to say that the next few days must de cide the fate of the entente. "To prevent this the French occu pation of the Ruhr must become 'in visible’ with no ■ economic Interfer ence if Germany is to have a fair chance to pay the Irreducible mini mum. which Great Britain is ready to join with France to enforce. "England also is willing to guar antee forever, the security of France, including Alsace-Lorraine. Should Fix Capacity. "Germany's capacity to pay ought to be fixed at. once by an expert im partial tribunal including represen tatives of the United States. The economic restoration of central Europe is essential to the prosperity of i he trade of the world. "We believe that America will In tervene sooner or later In its own In terests, now that the great republic has become a shipping nation." The British cabinet will meet Mon day or Tuesday to discuss the com ing statements of Premier Baldwin in the house of commons and Lord Cur 7011 In the house of lords. The min isters are worried, as the conversa tions today were most disappointing. Lord Curzon complanied bitterly that no document has been handed to him from Poincare for communica tion to the cabinet. Poincare after wards inatriicted Saint Aulalre, the French ambassador, to present, not his answer, but a written copy of his instructions. Woman Accused of Killing Husband Admitted to Bail Wife of Slain Army Officer Collapses Just Before Judge Fixes Bond at $3,000. Anniston. Ala.. July 7.—Mrs. Evelyn Sue Hickner. who, the. state alleges shot and killed her husband, IJeut. .fames U. Rickner. was admitted to tfKil in the sum of J3.000 late this af ternoon. following preliminary hear ing before Judge J. B. Holman, Jr., if the Calhoun county court. Mrs. Rickner collapsed shortly be fore Judge Hnlam gave his verdict and was not in the court room to hear a short demonstration of ap proval which met the court's an nouncement. Friends declared that bond would be made Immediately. Unusual interest was attached to the case, due to the popularity of tho slain officer and the youth and beauty of his wife. The court room was crowded, a large number of uniforms representing the military friends of the couple. The defense presented no witnesses and the state's testimony was mostly concerned with the circumstances of the shooting. No arguments from either side were heard. (’apt. Charles F. Craig testified that In his dying breath Rickner cursed his wife and blamed her for his death. Harry Elder of Indianapolis, brother of Mrs^ Rickner and her daughter Marylyn, 4, were present wdth the de fendunt In the court room, the little girl sitting upon her mother's knee while the testimony was being heard. While the defense placed no wit nesses upon the stand, It is under stood their plea before the court when Mrs. Rickner will probably face trial, will bo that the defendant was suf fering from temporary Insanity. It is also claimed that Rickner refused to suppe>rt his wife and was abejut to leave with another woman.

This is just another story of the progress of Nebraska. But those who reside in tli“ Gerirg valley consider it a most important one. And to eight farmers with land bordering on Brown lake, two i dles from Gering, it means the use of many acres which have been hereto fore useless. / Brown lake covers about 15 acres. It is a shallow, marshy lake, but filled with thousands of bass. When plans for draining it were laid, the ques tion of what to do with the tish be came an issue. Nor was the expense of the drainage project a small matter of consideration. A. N. Mathers, speaker of the house of representatives, an.1 YV. J.j O'Brien, foritaer head of the state fish and game department, got their heads together and arrived at an answer to these questions. With C. G. Pelford of Ashland as chief assistant, Mr. O'Brien is now seining the lake. Tile bass are being removed to other waters, and the run fish or crappies are being sold for food. The proceeds of this sale are dpeing used to help pay for the work. ’ A ditch to drain the lake is b“ing dug by the federal government from tie North Platte river, four nules dis tant. But until all the fish are re moved, the lake will not be drained. Vatican Makes New Effort for Peace in Ruhr Nuncios in Paris and Brussels Instructed to Approach Governments on Set tlement Question.

July 7.—The spirit of con cit ation led to an amicable solution of the Saar controversy today when the council of the league of nations adopted a resolution voicing apprecia tion of the work of the governing commission and expressing the hope that the French garrison would soon be withdrawn and replared by local gendarmerie. The resolution did not d scuss the decree curbing the right of free speech, as the ordinance had bepn withdrawn. The world court of justice, the ques tion of adherence to which now is bo keenly being discussed in America, was given a new assignment of im portance. when the polish minority dispute was referred to it for interpre tation of the minority treaty between the allies and Poland.

Montana Liquor Ruling Likely to Force Showdown Prohibition Officials Expected to Take Appeal From De cision Lifting Limit on Prescriptions,. Be t nlverw.I Sfnlrf. Washington, July 7.—The derision of Federal Judge Bourquin at Helena, Mont., holding unconstitutional the section of the prohibition law limiting the amount of liquor physicians may prescribe as medical necessities. is ex pected to force a showdown on the part of prohibition officials as to whether they will accept or resist this interpretation. If the decision Is accepted without appeal It will mean that the present regulations which limit each physi cian to 100 liquor prescriptions In 90 days and /not more than one pint for each patient each 10 days will have to be revised. The attitude nf the prohibition bureau, as voiced by Acting Com missioner Jonea and Counsel Hrltt, was that an appeal would he taken and that pending flnql action by the supreme court of the T'nlted Slates, no change would be made in the exist ing regulations. But the question of whether the matter la to he carried to the higher court reals with the Department of Justice which, aa a matter of course, will act in consultation wlh he Treas ury departmen. It Is significant In this connnectlon that In a similar case In New York In which Federal Judge Knox made practically the same ruling ns that of Judge Dour quin, no appeal has been taken up to this time. It Is said at the De partment of Justice the matter is still under consideration, a period of DO days being allowed under the rules of the court to enter an appeal.

Bv International >ew» Service. Chicago, July 7.—A woman who be lieves killing deserving of the same dainty feminine touch that goes Into fancy-work atid worthy of as much ceremony and preparation as she might devote to a tea, was ordered tonight tb he made the subject of a grand Jury Investigation on a charge of murder. Mrs. Mina Bernatowicz, 45, the mother of four children, decided, after due deliberation, that It was fitting and proper that she kill Mrs, Anna Andraskl, also 45. jvh°. she contends, was the object of the Illicit love of her husband. Joseph Bernatowicz. Many another woman, crazed with Jealousy and furious with hatred, would have sprung upon Mrs Andras kl haphazardly. But Mrs. Bernatowicz set out to have V party. First, she finished her housework Then she prepared a meal for her children. After that she carefully washed a pair <*f long glove* she had decided to wear for the slaying. Her very best clothes she chose, includ ing a frock cut rather.low, and a rope of pearls. With a pistol tucked In her hag, she was a neatly turned out person, as she still was tonight in her Jail cell, where she told newspa per respresentatives she was "tickled lo death" because she had slain Mrs. Andraskl. The prisoner whisked a bit of lint from h* r black frock, em bellished with cut Steel heads, and tipped her hat over one eye in that jaunty angle one supposes the dis tinctive mark of a flapper. "Two and a half years ago." Mrs. Bernatowicz explained, "Mrs. Andras kl met Joe and did her best to steal him. They've kept al<ady company since. He gave her money. He earn ed $455 a month. Nine months ago she took him entirely away from his home and his children. “Today, after the children had eat en, I told three of them to he good and wait until I returned. I took along John. He's nty eldest hoy. 'Mother, don't kill her-please don't— mother, they might hang you for It,’ he told me. But t explained to him that It was right I should kill her. " 'But my poor hoy, my poor hoy,' I told him, T atn going to kill her for you, John, and your little brothers and sisters.’ “Then I saw Mrs. Andraskl and her son coming along. I walked up to her and said: 'I told you I’d kill you.' Then I shot her. She fell Ht toy son's feet. John, my hoy, tried to take the revolver from me. Isn't he a good son? Wanted to take the blame. But I told him. 'No, John. I want them all to know It was I killed her. Oh, how glad I am.’ And l just waited until the police came,” The slayer tinkered with her pearls as she spoke. Her stiff attitude Indi cated she was conscious of her dress ed-up appearance. Hhe was all dressed for a party, hut the party was over— at least until the grand jury meets and decides whether the coroner's Jury wns right In charging her with murder.

Mexico City, July 7.—If Alvaro Obregon is the George Washington of the new rejuvenated republic of Mexico, Adolfo de la Huerta, Mexican minister of finance, is the country's Alexander Hamilton. There is a striking parallel be tween the job which confronted and still confronts young De la Hureta and the task undertaken and per formed under similar circumstaees by a youthful American, Alexander Hamilton, United States secretary of the treasury, after our own revolu tion. De la Huerta, after the Mexican revolution, found his country flooded with useless Carranza paper cur rency, like the bog of "continentalo” in which Hamilton found the new American republic sunk. Both alike had, and solved, the problem of es tablishing a sound metallic currency. C'oiiiinerrial Credit Fails. After each revolution, commercial credit had disappeared and a new centralized banking system was needed to further development of the country. Hamilton's answer was the first hank of the United Wtates. De la Huerta's answer is the Banco Unico, whose establishment is ex pected in th- next month by means of $25,009,000 of New York money invested in the institution via a French banking syndicate. Hamilton, like De la Huerta, inher ited a heavy burden nf public debt improvidently loaded on the country in Its hour of need. Both cour ageously resisted the Idea of repudia tion and set out to organize the shat tered national finances so as to dis charge the debt. It helps to under stand and appreciate what this new Mexico has done, to remember that we weie ohee where it Is now. Finally Hamilton needed to rees tablish public credit so that he could raise funds for the proserution of the internal Improvements which the country so urgently needed, roads and canals. Just so with De la Huerta. He is begging the International bankers to let Mexico resume pay ments on Its Inner external debts— money for which h. « l**en In New York since early in the year—so that Mexico can appear as the solvent creditor It Is. and he In line to bor row -the millions that it urgently needs for roads, canals and irriga tion Receipts Equal Expenditure*. It was De la Huerta who. as gov ernor of Sonora, organized the coun try’s resistance to rarranza’s attempt to dictate his successor. It was De la Huerta who, as provisional presi dent. ended the depredations of Villa hy settling him as a gentleman farmer on a ranch In Durango. It was De la Huerta xvho sent General Obregon to Tampico and secured the emigration to the t'nited States of the bandit Pela«z. Those two major bandits removed General Obregon* task of pacifying the country was farihtied. Finance Minister De la Huerta has organized the tax system of his coun try so that for the first time since Diaz the receipts equal the expendi tures Carranza coxered his deficits by pilfering the reserves of the hanks, printing several hundred mil lion dollars of paper money, paying th« government's employes 25 per cent In Itonds, instead of cash and al most completely ceasing expenditures for education. The first thing that De la Huerta had to do was to clean tip the Car ranza mess. He has retired the Carranza paper money hy aqeep'lng It In part payment of taxes and fi - lms replaced It fiy silver coinage as ths circulation medium. He has given the banks 5 per cent bonds for all the money Carranza stolo from them. In this year’s budget is an J appropriation of the $1,300,000 to re tire the last of the Carptnza bonds held by the government employes; nearly $3,000,000 xvns thus slant last year. Petroleum T»xcs. Tn 1522 the Mexican federal tress ury collected $277.000.OflO and spent $267,000,000. Where did the money come fiom? The main Item was pe troleum taxes on which the repub lie collected $66,000,000 last yenr. Pe troleum production had not begun in Dlnx's day. It Is a question how much of last year's $66,000,00# would have found its way Into the public treasury If shrewd old Porfiro, friend of foreign concession hunters, had been In the president’s chair. ft Is true that the main expendi ture was for the army, amounting to $134,000,000. Put a strong and ready army was necessary nftcr 10 sizars of free for all banditry. The mili tary expenditures are falling month by month. During the year 1022 the government dropped 10,000 soldiers from the payroll The military bnd get for 1023 is $30,000,000 less than for 1022. While the 1023 budget shows a drop of $30,000,000 In military expen dlttires. |t shows an increase of ex nelly $30,000,000 in outlays for educa tion which were $22,000,000 Inst year and will he $52,000,000 this year. That Is what Mexicans are say ing: • Poor little Mexico, distracted and torn by 10 years of civil war spent | In ^struggling for freedom, balances her budget and meets her obligations, I domestic and foreign. She sends to Nyw York money for the payment of Interest on her foreign debt. "fan any of the Kuropenn belllgcr eats—most of whom have suffered .ess than Mrxlco point to as good a record" Not one. And half the non belligerents In the world are equally delinquent Where do some Ameri cans git this talk of bolshevism In Mexico and Mexican disregard of con tracts and the sirred rights of capi tal?" So Mexicans ask. That's a question not very easy to a nsw er.
