By EDWARD W. PICKARD Prima Mini, tcr McDonald FOUR resolutions or recommendation recommenda-tion devised by the committee of finance ministers and adopted by the seven-power con ference In London, comprised the total to-tal result! of the parley, and It was the opinion of ex porta that little If anything had been done for the actual relief of Germany. The nlua Includes the suggestions of President Hoo ver, which Secretary Stlinaon said were really both American and Iirltlsb In conception. Here, briefly summarized, are the recomnienda tlons adopted: First That the centra! banks ana the World Uank for Interna tlonnl Settlements extend the $100,. WW.000 German credit for a fur ther period of three mouths. SecondThat private banks be urged to leuve their credits now In Germany in German bands for the present Third That t world bank committee com-mittee be appointed to consider the question of short-term loans to Germany and the conversion of existing ex-isting short-term loans to long-term long-term loans. Fourth That the conference "note with satisfaction'' the action of German Industrialists In creating creat-ing a reserve of approximately $15,0t)0,000 on the German gold discount bank. After the conference adjourned, Chancellor liruenlng and Minister Curtlus consulted the American delegates concerning the possibility of arranging a new long-term loan. If France refused' to participate, they thought the loan might be made by America, Great Britain and several other countries. Ilerr Ilruenlng also conferred with Premier Laval of France on the possibility of the latter visiting I'.erlln within the next three months. That France Is not at all In sympathy sym-pathy with the Hoover credits proposal pro-posal was made clear by I'remler Laval when he Informed the conference: con-ference: "Our country saved herself her-self la 1920. That Is an example which Germany should meditate upon." Prime Minister Ramsay McDonald McDon-ald presided over the sessions of the conference, and at its opening he sought to Impress on the delegates dele-gates the Inperatlve need of speedy and decisive action. "If we cannot find a solution of the present pres-ent crisis." said lie, "no one can foretell the political and flnanclul dangers that will ensue. It will be difficult to stay the flood before It has overwhelmed the whole of central Europe, with consequences social and political, as well as purely pure-ly flnenelal, which no man can estimate. es-timate. "Time is against us. Every day add to the risks of a collapse w hich will be outside of human control." are undertaken to prevent aggression aggres-sion by a military force. The document doc-ument gave no precise figures on trances armaments, but did de clare that those armaments have been reduced to the lowest pos- sinie point "under present condl tlons In Europe and the world.' National security Is still the slogan or r ranee, and she Insists on guar- antees If her armaments are to be modified. The memorandum finally con tends that Insecurity for one state means insecurity for ail. and the Idea of neutrality Is Incompatible wth the notion of solidarity of state A NNOUNCEMENT is made by the insurgent government at Canton, China, that It will begin operations against the Nationalist government on August 1, when Gen. Chang Fat-Kawl will lead an army into Klangsl province, which is nominally Nationalist ' territory. This decision followed the an nouncement that Gen. Shlh Yu-San, an ami-.-Nationalist, had begun hostilities hos-tilities in northern China. General Shlh'a operations north of the Yel low river caused the declaration of martial law in Pelplng and Tient sin and the Invocation of a news censorship by Nationalist authori ties.

IWore the court took up the case President Adatcl of Japan Installed Judges de Bustamente of Cuba and Wang of China, who were not present pres-ent at the last session. After this preliminary, the full court. Including Frank It Kellogg of the United States, began the hearing, with the governments of Germany, Austria, France, Italy and Czecho-Slovakla as parties to the case. They were represented by an army of agents, counsels, advocates, ad-vocates, and assistants. The Austrian Aus-trian agent, prof, Uric Kauffmnnn, was accompanied by an American, A. a Feller, of the New York bar. Dispatches from Vienna Indicate that Austria Is not nearly so eager for the customs union as she was before the present financial crisis hit Germany. Indeed, the Austrian government may drop the plan entirely. en-tirely. It Is bow engrossed in trying try-ing to extricate Austria from its own financial difficulties. Dr. Frans Rottenberg, who, until recently was director general of the Uank of Austria, Aus-tria, has been called on for help and has been made director of the Austrian credit bureau. It will be his task to arrange a national credit cred-it and budget system whkn. It 1 hoped, will pull the nation out of the bole.

T SAT, one night, upon an iron bench and studied the Cabildo to me the most Imposing building In that historic city which lies, crescent-like, within the curving sweep of the Mississippi. Musing, I watched the scroll of history unroll un-roll before me I saw De Bienville and those hardy followers of his who had erected the first house of the Crescent city; I saw the Spaniards pass moving to the west and south the Frenchmen come and go, and the Spaniard come again ; and I heard the thun derous shouts from a thousand throats as Claiborne unfurled from the Iron balcony of the old Cabildo the Stars and Stripes, emblem of ine new republic "Ah, well," I said, half to mvself, half to the vanishing shades of his tory, "the varying fortunes of Loui siana belong to the past; she Is sate now within Hie fold. No more will she be ruled by kings and queens, courtiers and courtesans." n hereupon a sound broke into my reveries the lilt of a woman's inugn. as clear as the note of a mocking bird. r.ur. your majesty." sald the voice In Spanish, "if we walk two more squares along this way we snnn nave passed the levee and cast ourselves Into the river." "Name of O d !" I gasped, leaping leap-ing to my feet There was something some-thing In that musical voice that touched a vibrant cord In mv soul nnd the young blood flamed through my veins. As I stood, trembling in this new emotion, three fk-ures left the shadows of tljf CnMldo and moving southward, crossed rimr tre street, turned to the left and iipproacnen tne point where I stod three figures who might have stepped from a Titian canvas. One was a slim graceful courtier with a scabbard that flashed In the moonllebt with every movement of his loft knee; the other two were a king nnd a queen of old Spain hearing, each of them, all the tran-plnjs tran-plnjs of royalty. 1 Speechless, I stared, wondering vaguely If. by some grotesque twist of fate, this consciousness of mine could have been thrown back three eentnries: yet. yonder stood the ( nb.Mn. this was New Orleans, and tne time I felt certain tered; "and music" "Carraca!" The magic of the night and the misty vaporlngs of my wine-mused mind gave way to grim realities of the moment, for the broad-shouldered man who binr Advanced upon me threateningly. He tried to bruslf me aside with the sweep or a muscular mus-cular arm, but I swung a hard and, I think, efficient fist; for a year of campaigning In that tatterdemalion army under General Jackson had given me many things, not the least of which was the healthy American knack of rough-and-tumble fighting. fight-ing. Under a blow that found his whiskered jaw his majesty went to his hands and knees, then he came swiftly to his feet, right hand seeking seek-ing bis hip, and the slim blade of a smallsword gleamed in the moonlight "Not so hasty, Adolfo," said the graceful courtier, whose face, I noticed, no-ticed, possessed so much of the high beauty of the face of the lady that I knew him for her brother; "You must" "A dog," Adolfo gasped. "Why should I not run bim through? Did he not accost us; did he not stare at Carlslma ; did not the stupid clod lay violent hands upon a Fuentes?" "But, Adolfo mlo," said her maj esty, "he is unarmed." Ah, sweet angel I I was un armed she had noticed It I bent a worshiping head. "Your majesty Is too klDd ; I was but a lonely being, be-ing, who, dreaming on a bench In the moonlight, heard a voice com Ing out of the night, and a vision" "Loco!" cried Adolfo, emphasizing emphasiz-ing the charge of madness against me with a whistling sweep of his sword. "Give him thy blade, Poll-to; Poll-to; must I waste the evening on a stupid ladrone?" Polito. reading my face, found ac quiescence there. He drew his sword, grasped the noint with thumb and forefinger and, resting tne gleaming steel across his left forearm, extended the hilt to me. I caught It In eager fingers, for she had called him "mio"; and that proprietary pro-prietary "Carisima" of his had kindled a fire of senseless Jealousy within me. Polito's weapon balanced bal-anced like a feather In mv hand; a Toledo blade, In truth. I swung It In a tentative arc, and the air sang beneath that blow. His majesty shrugged out of the long cape and, point raised, advanced ad-vanced upon me. "Guard." said he I think the hissing cadence of mv sword touched a cord of cowardice In his majesty; I think he must have realized that It was not a stupid stu-pid clod who stood before him. and im sure sucn realization nothing to his confidence. -Not so rast, Senor." I cried "do you not know that the road to hell s traveled tn haste, while heaven s reached more slowly?" He swore in his heard, and I continued: "If 1 should hazard a guess as to your mnsnnera.le I would say that you are fharles the Fifth of Spain, a noble king who lived three hund ed years ago; hut your acllons and yow words belie your regal trap?

Now, when I heard the labored effort of bis voice I knew that I had won. . With the realization that I was his master my youthful pride offered a Jibe or two; "Cannot a lonely being dream in the moonlight. moon-light. Your Majesty, and conjure up the figures of the past, or look with favor upon a lady without the charge of madness being placed against him?" With a frenzied burst of charges he built up a gleaming wail of steel in front of me. I moved back before be-fore that last attack, listening with fine satisfaction to the labored breath that whistled through his teeth, for he had nearly reached the end and knew it And when added nlshed through the centur es the motif for sons nnd srn breathed.
