' The President of the Court announced " that the verdiet would be rendered on . Tuesday next. All of the accused made | final declamatery speeches glorifying | what thev had done and denouncing the ' Government. ; Paris, March 28 h.—The Dawes Com- | mittee report promises to restore the fin- | ance of Germany, according to the ‘"Ma- | tin’’, by extremely severe control of gov- } ernment, the yieid of an international | loan and a partial moratorium for three | years. At the corclusior of this period, ' Germany it is believed, will be in a posi- , tion to pay about 3 500,000,000, gold - marks annually. « Prague, March 28 h.—The regular air ' gervice between Paris and Prague is to | be exterded next week to Consiauntinople | and Angora. | New, York, March 28'h.—Viscount ! Rothermere arrived yesterday o study ' the problem of newspaper making in the 2 United States. | London, March 28th—London’s trans- , port strike was settled late tonight aiter | daylong negotiations between the tram- way and bus workers and the employers on a basis conceding to the workers an immediate advance of six shilings. with | the remaining two shillings demand by the men fluctuating accordiug to the cost of living index. 7Thus the men got near- ly all they originally demaaded. There is 1» doub: that this ending of a difficult erisis was a'most entirely due to the in- tervention of the Premier, who has been untiring in devoting himself to recurire a scttlement. Late tonight the Premicr looking pale and exhausted, left 'cwr- ing Street for a week end rest at Cheg- uers Court, his country residence. Though the strike situation last night looked hopeful, the government never- theless made every preparation for » possible extension of the strike. Some of the ministers today travelled to Liverpool where the King was attending the Grand Nati.nal Steepiechase and the King heid a privy council there and signed a proc lamation providing ior a state of emerg- ency, which naturally will not be requir- ed, unless, as is consideved unlikely, the leaders of the men should refuse to rati- fy the tern's of settlement. The terms of settlement are subject to ratification by both sides, and will not be officially mzde rublic unti! ratified, but the reces- gary formalities woulc¢ be made with all haste in order to get the transport service runing, In the meantime, all tube and other threatened sympathetic strikes have been called off and harassed Lon- doners breathe freely again. General resumption of the services is not expect- ed before Sunday. Tne strike seottle- ment comes a great relef to the Govern- ment, as well as to the citizens, because although the Ministers had decided to take emergency cpowers, they were far from agreed on what those powers shou'd be and almost any move they could have made in this direction risked bripging them into conflict with large sections of the labor itself, which would have re- garded such exceplional mcasures as iui- mical to general trade union interests, Lundon, March 28th.—-The Oxford crew, now in training for the Univer- sity boat raece on April bth, rowed their last home course trial from Mortiake to Putney today in 21 minutes 10 seconds, Paris, March 29:h.——Continuance of previous foreign and domestie policies was decided upon today by the new French Cabinet at its first meeting. Rome, March 29th.—-Bad weather and the necessity of completing repairs on one of the floats of their Napier Vicker amphibiaa plane, delayed the Briush round-the-world flyers today. It is doubt- ful if they would be able to start on the third leg of their flight before tomorrow.
