Onbrlel Xarutdwiez, first president or the Polish' republic, fell before an assassin's bullet at noon Saturday. The tragedy oceured at an exhibi-tion of paintings, and the assassin was an artist, one Mewadomskl, long regarded by his associates iis mental-ly derangiHb The president had Just concluded n brief address and, accompanied hy his aide de camp, and two of the mem-bers of his cabinet, was entering the first hall of the exhibition to view the paintings when Nlewadomski Joined the throng eagerly pressing about the chief executive to shake his hand. Instead of stopping In front of M. Nnrutowlcz, however, the assassin circled the crowd to a position in the rear.

The "plan" of the United States for intervention in the European situa-tion, which lias filled two continents with excitement and anticipation, part, iy because of the deep mystery sur-rounding It, can now be revealed. It follows : Bellevelng that reparations is the key to the present European crisis, the United States will patriclpate in a commission or some other form of of-ficial inquiry to' establish an exact figure for Germany to pay. It would be a figure that would constitute Just reparations for the war nn amount that would be up to Germany's ca-pacity to pay, but not beyond. If a settlement of the reparations problem can be effected by an agree-ment among the European powers on such a figure, the United States can give assurances that American bank-ers stand ready to' advance a loan, with the proper securities, sufficient to put Germany on her feet and start her towards amortization of the in-demnity. Finally, the United States govern-ment Is willing to adopt a more len-ient policy on the question of collec-tion of the allied war debt to tnis country. That is, it is ready to con-sid- er the obligations of each of the debtor coutries on their own merits, granting more leniency In the terms of collection to those countries less able to pay. TO REQUEST GARDS BE PUT0N TftBLE FINAL SHOWDOWN ON CONCES-SIONS; FRANCE MAY BE WILL-T-MAKE, HELD FOR ACTION State Department Denies Proposal Has ;Been Forwarded Covering Move This Country Is Willing t0 Make Washington. France soon may be asked by. the United Statt-- to place ml her cards on the tabic. With the success or failure of the American move looking toward a so-lution of the old world's economic crisis virtually hanging on the atti-tude of France, this government is understood to be preparing t ask I'remler I'olncure for a definite, state-ment as to the utmost concessions he is willing to make on reparations and kindred questions in order to re-lieve the situution. This government realizes the Pom-cur- e government faces a difficult po-litical situation because of the strong demand in France for the use of force in the Hope of compelling tier-,- . many to pay the huge repartition fig-ure which has been imposed upon ber, und the Inquiry to the French government will he propounded in the most friendly manner. nils government has received the German proposal calling for a com-mission of experts, preferably Amer-icans,' to revise the reparation down to the hghest possible ilgure that Ger-many can pay. This proposal was re-vealed exclusively by the press and mused unusual interest In official clr--' cles. It Is beleved that any plan the United States agrees upon will be ac-ceptable in the main to Great Britain, thus making It necessary to harmon-ize ns much as possible the wide dif-ferences (between France and Geri many, if a solution of the problem Is to ie reached. The phin of this government is to get the views of all the powers and then outline a common ground upon which negotiations could be opened with the United States acting as a ort of mediator. .state department officials denied that the Informal discussions between this government and the allies had reached the stage where a definite American proposal had been framed, and said here was no truth in re-ports from London that the United Wtatt's at the request by German Chan-cellor Cuno had proposed an Amer-ican' commission of business men to revise the reparations figure. r iHf NewsNotes From All Parts of UTAH Salt Lake city.
