The ministers consider the military preparations as only precautionary in case things go wrong. Press advices from Hankow confirm the previnous announcement that the British banks, merchants and shippers had: agreed to reopen for business and that they would continue to function as long as they felt secure. It was hoped that this would facilitate negotiations between Charge O’Malley and the Cantonese foreign minister, Eugene Cher. Inflated = France Causes Distress Paris—The high franc is flattering to the pride of Frenchmen, but high prices ‘are deflating his pocketbook. Unemployment, politics and the home. Government statistics show that 35,000 pergons, chiefly in Paris, are drawing doles, but 35,000 more applicants for work are not satisfied. The government and employeers say the situation is far from critical, but workingmen retort that "many thousands are earning just enough “to keep from being hungry.” Red and yellow posters flaunt revolutionary appeals all over the workmen’s district and extremist agitators are capitalizing unemployment and the threat of more of it. Ohio Flooding Columbus, Low O.—Rising Country above the flood stage, the waters of the Ohio river at Pomeroy adn Marietta invaded the business districts of these two cities. A fourth of the residential district of Marietta and half the busi. ness section was under several feetvof water. The inhabitants of Pomeroy were kept to the hilly ground, where their homes are located, as the water climbed to the stores along the river front. All business in Pomeroy was suspended and movable properly carried to high ground. Pomeroy homes probably will not be affected even though the fifty-foot flood stage has been passed and the prediction is for a crest. of sixty feet. In Marietta, however, seven hundred families m the lowlands moved up to the seecnd floor of their houses. Belief was expressed that the water would recede without forcing the adbandonment of any homes in the lowlands. Sacasa Ready to Step Aside Puerto Cabezas—Dr. Juan B. Sacasa, heed of the liberal government who is at war to oust the Diaz conservative regime, is ready to step aside if a new president is chosen under conditions he outlines.
