Berlin, April 22. A cabinet crisis
appears imminent here as a result of
the discontent aroused by the gov

Reichstag before asking President

allies relative, to reparations. The
position of Dr. Simons, foreign minis

The Speeding Fool.
He belongs to no particular class
the rich and poor alike have him.
Hi destination is usually nowhere-in-particular,
and he rushes there in
the most hazardous fashion. He has
!he speed mania, which is one of the
chief causes of accidents. He loves
to terrify others and his open de
fiance of the law causes censure
everywhere to fall upon him.
To boast of the close calls he has
had is his ambition his delight.
He is a liability to the community
in which he lives. Even among his
friends he is known as the "Speeding
Fool."

London. April 22. Germany lias
sent to Washington a reply to the
merican note rejecting the role of
arbitrator for the reparations qucs'
tion between Germany and the; allies,
says a central ews dispatch from
Berlin. The terms of the note will
. not be known until late today.
Consideration of the German gov
ernment's note to the United States
'wai completed at a meeting of the
German cabinet last night, says a
message received here from Berlin.
Tarty leaders later met with ' Kon
stantine Fehrenbach, the chancellor,

Simons, foreign minister, and to ex
press their opinion on the proposals
sent to President Harding. The

announcement at Berlin of Germany s
policy relative to reparations.
Qermany's appeal to the United
States to arbitrate the reparations
problem and the American rejection
of that role brought into the situation
certain complexities. The view that
thefanswer of the Washington gov
ernment had intimated a readiness
td act as intermediary in bringing
about new pegotiations gained
ground here yesterday.
It appeared certain that Mr. Lloyd
Geprge and M. Briand would be
railed upon at their meeting at
Lympne tomorrow either to reject
the 'good offices of the United States
or reopen negotiations.
The Yorkshire Post of Leeds says
the ' last sentence of the American
reply to Germany arouses the feel

Remedy for Peonage
Atlanta, Ga.. April 23'. A publicity
campaign in Georgia to acquaint the
people of the state with alleged peon
age conditions was urged by Gov
ernor Dorsey, addressing the Inter
racial committee here today,
The governor presented" informa
tion on approximately 150 cases of
alleged peonage, cruelty or lynch

tions designed to improve relations
between the races in Georgia. Among
them were compulsory education for
both races; formation of two state
committees, one white, the othej ne

matters: assessment of a line on each

have permitted lynchings by negligence.
Record Gold Shipment
Received From Orient
. New York, April 23. Gold valued
at $7,500,000 to $8,000,000 arrived
here on the steamer Eastern Knight
from l'ort Said. This shipment, one
of the largest ever received from the
Orient, was consigned to" several lo
cal bankers.
These large gold consignments re
sulted from the unfavorable economic
position existing in East India,
China and other remote centers since
the close of the war. Dealers in
bullion here state that the gold now
held in India is being sold to adjust
trade balances. ' "
It is expected that the sale of this
gold will be offset by purchases of
silver in this countryj especially for
account of the Indies, where there is
said to be a revival of last year's de
mand for the while metal.

John Philip Young, Managing '
Editor of Chronicle for 43
Years, Is Victim of
Paralysis Stroke.
: San Francisco, Cal., April 23.
Arrangements were being made to
day for the funeral of John Philip
Young, for nearly 43 years manag
ing editor of The San Francisco
Chronicle, who died here early this
morning. He was 71 years old. His
death was due to paralysis.
Mr. Young was an economist and
journalist. He was instrumental in
building up one of the great metro
politan journals of the country and
also wrote a number of books.
Born at Philadelphia.
He was born in Philadelphia,
August 9, 1849. An adventurous lite
preceded his advent into journalism.
A runaway at 16, he enlisted in the
navy. Recovered by his parents and
placed in a Philadelphia mercantile
establishment, the quiet existence
palled, and soon he was in Arizona
and after thrilling experiences with
wild Indians, went to San Diego.
Mercantile work was given up for
business management of the San
Diego Union. .
He was thrust into the editorial
lied council,-, and this impression is
strengthened by the hint received a
few days ag6 that under certain cir-
cums.tances the United States might
send.-an observer to the next meeting
of tlB supreme council."

Tlfjfj; senators urged the issuance of
reserve notes to sret more currency
into circulation and a lowering of
the rediscount rates. Seven per cent,
theyiaid, was now the prevailing
rate, w hereas in some states 6 per
centis the usual rate. , They called
attention to the fact that the federal
reserve now had a gold reserve of
$65,0d0,OO0, whereas only' $42,000,
000 ifr required, -,
I The. senators who are acting in this
matter have also conferred with some
members of the cabinet and intend
' to confer with all of them on the
subject.

ana servea tour years as city editor
of the Washington Chronicle. The
call to California found him in 1877
in the employ of the San Francisco
Chronicle and a little more than a
year later he became its managing
editor, the first man, outside of the
proprietors-of the paper, to assume
managerial duties upon the Chronicle.
Author of Many Books.
A power in the civic development
of San Francisco, he was one of the
fourfders of the Commonwealth, club
of this city. .
The sphere of his influence beyond
the field of the newspaper was at
tained in the publication of many
works,' including , "Protection h: and
Progress," "The Growth of Modern
Trusts," "Bimetalisnf and Mono
metalism,' "Journalisni in Califor
nia," "A History of r San1 Francisco"
and other economic, works. ; V, i
A forceful thinker in protective
policies, his works gained recognition
in congress, and President Theodore
Roosevelt, commenting upon Young's
monograph on trusts, said that he
had done a real service to the coun
try in publishing it.
In .1884 he- married Georgina M.
Brown of St Louis.

Exqu isite Lingerie
j Which Is Near to' the Heart of i f
Every Fair Young Bride :
Chiffon cloth in flesh or the new wild rose pink, hand made laces and delicate

Since the sheer and clinging fabrics of outer garments have made the cut and
line of ornamentation of undergarments matters of so much importance in the
final effect of every costume, lingerie presents in some sense a mode of its own
with every changing season. The bride of today no longer includes in her trousseau
lingerie enough to last her half a lifetime, but the ample amount for immediate
use which she selects, makes up in beauty what it lacks in quantity.
' Lovelier than ever before, it seems, is the lingerie which this season offers
to the bride, exquisite in its hand made, laces and-delicate colors and sheer and'
filmy fabrics, in the fine restraint of its dainty and beautiful embroideries.
