Subsequently the steamer floated off with the tide, proceeding to St. Malo under her own steam. There is no news of the two boats, but no apprehen- sions are felt as the sea is calm.

LONDON, August 14. The "Princess Ena" has arrived at St. Malo with all her passengers,

BERLIN, August 14.

An expression of willingness to submit the Rufir question to the International Court of Arbitration was one of the chief features of Chancellor Stresemann's speech in the Reichstag.

Outlining his policy further, he said the new Government formed on the broadest parliamentary basis would be the strongest Cabinetagainst any idea of the violation of Germany since the Republic had been established.

The passive resistance of the Ruhr population was deeply rooted in a firm conviction in the justice of its cause. This was just unequivocally recognis- ed by the British Government and they might assume the statement of the British standpoint would find an echo in France and Belgium. The Govern- ment did not doubt that any impartial arbitral decision would restore the Ruhr to Germany.

LATER

The Reichstag passed a vote of confidence in the new Government by 540 to 76 votes. There were 25 abstentions.

Finally he referred to the necessity of restoring order at home and appealed to all classes to support the gold loan. He declared it was the duty of the Government to satisfy the demand for a stable currency. He regarded the demand for a stable basis for wages as justified.

LATEST PROHIBITION RULING.

SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENT.

NEW YORK, August 14. The following is the significant decision given by the Federal Court upholding the Government action in seizing the British vessel "Marion Mosher" off Fire Island on July 27:-

It is authoritatively stated that so far as Lord Curzon's reparations plan accords with Mr. Hughes' suggestion, the Government is ready to play its part in the fresh determination of the economic conditions of Germany.

Mr. Coolidge's 'administration adheres to the tradition laid down in the speech of Mr. Hughes in December that the Government does not see its way to make an open offer of direct aid in the present- crisis, but it will readily respond to any appeal for aid from abroad where help can be given with duc regard to the interests of the American people.

The President does not see any occasion to call December session. a special session of Congress before the regular
