CRISIS REACHED IN GERMAN CAPITAL Washington, July 7. ? The fall of the German government is threatened and stringent measures have been enacted for the protection of the republican regime, the commerce department was advised today in a cablegram from Commercial Attache Herring at Berlin. . The political crisis resulting from the assassination of Foreign Minister Ratheneau, Mr. Herring reported, has aggravated the period of currency depression inaugurated by the failure of the^foreign loan negotiations and the feeling is now general that Germany faces grave political complications with the fall in exchange, which dropped to the lowest level in history today. "The consideration by the reichstag of important legislation," he said, "including the forced loan bill and grain subsidy measures, was interrupted by the Rathenau incident and by the consequent consideration and exactment of stringent measures for protecting the republican regime. These measures provide the death penalty or life imprisonment for conspiracy against the republic. "Bavaria, where the anti-republican feeling is believed to be most prevalent, refuses enforcement of these protective measures, alleging that no necessity for them exists. "Intense party feeling prevails in Germany, "being manifested in nunier. ous assemblages under police supervision. All anti-republican agitation is being suppressed. A strike among Berlin printers has resulted in. the suspension of nearly all newspapers. "The passage by the reichstag of a grain subsidy measure providing for the assessment of large quantities of bread grain from farmers at prices appreciably under the market level has aroused bitter opposition from the agrarians and the national party which threatens the fall of the government." Water-Lifting Apparatus Invented London, July ?A water-lifting awwtfltps .whk'Ji to flaut tha natural"!that water camtoTrun uphill, and by which the tremendous energy of the rising tides may be harnessed for use by man, is an invention of Thomas G. Allen, graduate of Washington University, St. Louis, and now a British subject. The "Hydrautomat," as the apparatus is called, is the result of two years of experiments. A workine model has been viewed by scores of engineers, some of whom have been baffled by the simplicity of the cycle of operation. It has lifted water 20 feet above the river level. The hydrautomat is designed to raise water in any quantity from a running stream to any desired height without the use of standard equipment such as pumps, rams, or waterwheels. The apparatus harnesses two natural sources of energy, the weight of a column of water and atmospheric pressure. By means of a series of tanks, one above the other, and a sluice gate, which alternately brings suction and pressure forces into play, 80 percent of the energy ol the pressure water used is obtained The height required is reached by carrying the sris of tanks, alternating open and closed chambers, togethci with air conducting pipes, to the de>ired height. It is believed there is unlimitec scope for the hydrautomat on streams where hydraulic power developments are not feasible because of the smal amount of fall. One of the first ap plications is expected to be on irri gation projects. In a broad sense, according to th< inventor, the purpose of the hydrau tomat is to convert the contained en ergy of large quantities of water a1 a low head into that of a smallei quantity of water at a high head, 01 to compel a stream to hoist part o itself up over the land for tommer cial or agricultural purposes. Thi principle is fixed; the application i to be determined by local require ments. World patent rights have been is sued. It appears that in the world' inventive records the principle of th hydrautomat has been. remotely ap j proached, but never attained.

Sir Philip m Lloyd-Greame of the British delega- b< .ion arose and declared it was per- pi 'ectly absurd to continue the discus- th lions unless more satisfactory assur. hj pices were forthcoming. Only M. fo fCrassin?"Krassin, the conciliator," co ?s he is beginning to be called?saved die day by suggesting mildly that hi controversial matters be left aside for pi iio moment and a real effort be made re jo find a common ground based on niu- di :ual advantage. ai The difficulty started at the after- ti loon session of the conference when tc M. Litvinoff read a long list of oil and jr ether concessions which Russia was 5( ready to give to foreigners. M. Cat tl tier, Belgium, suggested it would be 'nice*' if M. Litvinoff would explain ti (which of the properties listed were fi, under "foreign ownership previous to their confiscation, and what foreign C( propertv were excluded from the list. s, M. Litvinoff replied that he could u aot say whether the properties be- w longed previously to foreigners or Russians. It was difficult for Russia (i to identify foreign enterprises; all je that could be done was to publish the w list and let foreign owners identify w their property if they could. p "Do you really mean," Sir Philip Lloyd-Greame asker, 'that, having nutionalized these properties and admin- ^ istered them, you do not know wheth- t] ?r the owners are foreigners or Rus- 1. kians?" c* ^"Exactly," replied M. Litvinoff. "M. Cattier said: "We understand a than there is no question of restitu- t) tioil to the actual property and that Russia will grant concessions to any ?, foreign capitalist who is ready to in- jj an(^ not necessarily to a ^ To this the Russian spokesman made the answer: "We do not go back , on what we said at Genoa, namely, ^ that the first option on concessions would be offered to former owners." j A long, exciting discussion followed, with frequent murmurs of astonishment or disapproval.

The attitude of the federated shop crafts was indicated tonight when B. M. Jewell, head of the railroad employees' department of the American Federation of Labor, issued a statement disclaiming any further responsibility for continuation of the strike and holding the railroads and the labor board to blame for the length of time the walkout lasts. "Those who complain because the railway shop strike has not been settled should understand that the men have been forced out much against their will," his statement said. "The strike has now been in progress one week. Notwithstanding the fuct that we have by every means available to us made it known that conference was desired with any responsible person authorized to negotiate a settlement, or that any proposal by any person properly authorized would be carefully considered, no move has been made by other parties to bring about a settlement.
