Germany Floats Big Private Loans With U. S. Bankers Machinery for Placing Dawes Plan in Effect Is Slowly Getting Under Way. By KARI, H. VOX WIEGAXD. Vnlvernnl Service Staff Correspondent. Berlin, Aug. 31.—Slowly, very slow ly, Germany's machinery for put ting the Dawes plan into operation is beginning to move. The first' oil on the creaking economical wheels was the signing today of private credit loans aggregating f38.000.000 by New York banking groups. Dr. Stresemann, who has become a sort of German Lloyd George in piloting the pact through a hostile reichstag, left last night on a vaca tion. Dr. Marx planned to go today. Stresemann’s party is committed to a reorganization of the cabinet to take place in October and to include the nationalists. There is talk that Marx will be a candidate for presi dent of the republic, while Maron Ago von Maltzan. is spoken of as the possible next ambassador to Washington though It Is doubtful that any definite decision regarding that post will be reached until Am bassador Wlefeldt's return. As a candidate for the new chan celloi-phlp. the name of Count Hugo von Lochenfeld. who as a member of the Bavarian peoples’ party is held acceptable to both the nationalists and the Catholic center parties, has been mentioned. Both the government and business circles welcome the final acceptance of the Dawes plan. The government believes that the American loans form the strongest possible barrier against further Increase of commun ism In Germany. Although there are about 38,000.000 people in Germany who entertain serious doubts that the Dawes plan can be carried out and Expect that modifications will have to be made, they agree that the Influx of large cash loans from America will cause at least a temporary business boom in Germany. The first Indication of this |s the great Increase in the participation in the Leipzig fall fair. MANY EVENTS AT OAKLAND FAIR Oakland, Neb, Aug. 31.

Other Splits in Ranks By Universal Servlee. Washington, Aug. 31.—Mrs. Clein L. Sliaver, wife of the chairman of the democratic national committee, today threw a bomb shell Into the camp of the democrats by scoring Governor Charles W. Bryan, rice presidential candidate, as a pacifist. Just when the democrats were con gratulating themselves in having smoothed out their differences over the defense day tec, Mrs. Shaver in jected the subject in the campaign by taking Issue with those directing the destinies of the party, including, apparently, her husband. Mrs. Shaver left no loophole for the democrats In her denunciation of the position taken by Bryan on the defense day test. She unreservedly endorsed the program mapped out by the war department with the approv al of President Coolldge, which has been the target of Bryan, whose at titude was approved by John W. Da vis, the democratic presidential nomi nee, and his advisers, after some de lay. Shaver Not Available. Chairman Shaver was not at head quarters today to discuss the dis cordant note sounded by his wife in denouncing Bryan's position on de fense day. At the headquarters It was stated Shaver had gone to the country and was Inaccessible. He is expected to return tomorrow. Senator Key Pittman of Nevada, however, who is director of the ‘‘or ganization," and is advising Davis on "strategy" in the campaign, made this comment on Mrs. Shaver’s at tack on Bryan: "I know nothing about rumor that there has been individual criticism by some prominent democrats of Governor Bryan's statement with re gard to defense day. "I do know that John W. Davis, In approving the statement of Governor Bryan, stated that the mobilization of our potential war forces was entirely unnecessary at this time, and con served no good purpose. "That Is my personal view and I think that it Is the view of the whole democratic committee.” Another Breach. The split over defense day In Un democratic ranks comes on the heels of a breach over the management of the speakers' bureau, which ended in the resignation of Representative James McClintlc of Oklahoma as Its head. Pittman was disposed today to minimize the split In the speakers' bu ■ reau. Pittman expressed the opinion that j a successor to McClintlc as director of the speakers in the campaign \ would be selected within the next day or so. upon the return of Chairman Shaver. He said that McClintlc will be “associated with the committee In ! another capacity.” It Is reported he will be made head of the congres sional campaign committee. The democrats In their presidential rare are also confronted with a quar rel among the women who are asso ciated In the campaign. The old fight against Mrs Kmily Newell Blair, who was re elected vice chslr man over the protest of many leading women, hns been renewed and the in dications are it will be almost lmpos sible to reconcile the different fac tions as to present a solid front.

Geneva, Aug. 31—Not since the peace conference of Versailles have the peoples of the world shown such an Interest In an International gath ering as In the fifth assembly of the league of nations, which will open here tomorrow to take up supreme world problems end the question how best to avert future world wars. The vast Interest Is made evident by messages which arriving dele gates and simple cltixens are bringing to Geneva from scores of lands. In eluding the Vnlted States These messages are to the effect the people everywhere want something real achieved. There seems to he a feeling preva lent hern that a suitable atmosphere for faehlonlng some binding and ef fectlve project of accord among the nations has been created. ' J licRe nunnreus oi unusual apfna tori of a great event reverently watched the great mechanical birds of the 20th century as they soared their way overhead to their landing place at Ice Tickle. "Tickle" means channel or water passage In the Indian language. Ac cording to tradition, Eric the Red, who discovered Greenland, from where the world fliers took off on their last North Atlantic hop, was also the discoverer of I>abrador, when he journeyed here In a cockle shell four centuries before Columbus dis covered America. Guns Are Fired. Eric the Red Is supposed to have landed at almost the Identical place where the fliers completed their At lantic hop In less than half a day. Including fishermen and the Gren fell mission hospital staff, and pa tients probably hardly more than 100 spectators, excepting the navy men and correspondents, witnessed the epochal event of aviation when the fliers arrived In Indian Harbor. Guns were fired and whistles tooted, while spectators waving American flags shouted their cheers. The fliers arrived In the farthest north settlement of white men on the east coast of North America, as only Eskimos and Indians live be yond on the edge of the Arctic Cir cle. In the summer there are always a few fishing schooners along the north coast, but they have no radio. After visiting strange lands In their circuit of the globe such as none of the flyers ever dreamed of encoun terlng In real life, they arrived here to find a community In the primeval wilderness practically unchanged since the first settlers came here ex cept for the advent of motorboats and the Installation of a small wireless "tation an 1 h-spital Two More Hops. There are two more hops for the fliers—to Hawkes Bay, N. F., and thence to Pictou, N. C-—before the final hop to United States territory. These may prove to be by no means easy and may develop difficulties, uthe Ra tt cmfw etaoin bmaahmbobm The most painstaking and elaborate preparations had been made for the world flight of the army fliers ever since the original plan was conceived two year* ago. The actual details of j preparation began a year or more ago. Subsequent ro-operntion by the navy Included (he use of a total of J 11 ships and a personnel of about; 1,500 men. The government desired to sehlov th» feat for the sake of educating the public to (he neceeslty of placing American flying forces on a par with the French and Rrltlsh services as a vital arm of national defense, follow lng the naval disarmament confer ence. Radio Helped. Wartime aircraft and misdirected effort had left the public and con gress In a state of skepticism. The result of the world flight, however, will go much further, as success means International commercial de velopment by the employment of new routes on which weather conditions will now be charted. There has l»cen a realisation that the arrival of the fliers hack on the North American continent practically a pelted the finish of the historic ef fort, so meticulous care was excr clsed for safeguarding the North At j lantic crossing to Insure the safety of the men end the nlrcrnft. Two vital considerations were weather reports and communication by rndln.

Herrin, 111., Aug. 31.—With the In quest Into deaths of six men slain in Saturday's gunfight set for 9 Wednes day ■morning, an ominous quiet, en forced by bayonets of two companies of Illinois national guard, prevailed in this storm center of Williamson coun ty today, while both factions of Ku Klux Klan and anti klan inaugurated the second stage of latest battle by swearing out murder warrants against each other. Police Magistrate Abo Hicks Issued 21 warrants charging murder of Dewey Newbolt, Charles Willard and Green Dunning the three klansmen who lost their lives in the affray. The warrants will be served on Sheriff George Galligan, Deputy Sheriff Ora Thomas, Ihe Shelton brothers, Carl and Earl, and others, Magistrate Hicks said. On the other hand, Sher.ff George Galligan admitted he had a number of warrants sworn out by State's At torney Delos Duty before a Marion justice of the peace, ready to serve on klansmen alleged by Galligan to have been Involved In deaths of Ches ter Reid, Otto Roland and Deputy Sheriff Bud Allison.

No trouble was experienced in making the ar rests. according to the deputies. Both factions have asked Com manding Officer Maj. Robert W. I>avis of Carbondale for aid of troops in serving their warrants. Major Davis, after communicating with Adj. Gen. Carlos Black at Springfield, re fused their request. The military authoritles, fearing the effect of ini mediate serving of warrants, asked that both sides refrain from making arrests until after the inquest. Dr. J. T. Black, head of the Herrin city hospital, which klansmen charge l* the opposing element's stronghold here, was free on 115.000 bond follow ing his arrest on a murder warrant Saturday night, sworn out by C.

Clyde Craig, who was also arrested Saturday night, was released on f 15,000 bond also. General feeling Is that only the prompt arrival »f troops Saturday night prevented further bloodshed. The klan faction, which styles itself "the law enforcing element," is bitter against Sheriff Galligan. his deputies and State's Attorney Delos Duty. "Cold blooded murder.” Is the klan comment of the shooting of Newbolt. Dunning and Willard. In an Interview John H.
