in defeating an elabonte Franco-Belgian plan for estanlishmetr. of a Khinc-land iteptiblic. Since litis, Belgium. France. Hol land nd Italy have conspired to free the IMiineland and the Province of Westphalia from the yoke of Prussia by establishing a buffer State which would join in a great economic bloc in Western Kurope.

The Klilneland itselt has always felt that it was the under dog of Berlin and Prussia, and especially since the war has had to bea its share of Germany's impoverishment, while at the same time it is the source of Germany's wealth. As the French and Belgians are the chief instigators in the plan, it as pointed out by niy informant that the conference of Pr'-miers in Paris was the logical time, to begin operations by using the so-called Franco-British rupture as imi excuse for establishing a military regime here. At any rate the military regime Is now established and tho Uhineland does not appear to care. Fianco-Hclgiaii Plan. The plan ascribed to France and Belgium, is to cause a break with Germany along tho border between Westphalia and Prussia and create an independent State with no tariff barriers toward the wrst.

iteaiizmg that the chief trouble of the Uhineland industrial ana is the depreciated mark. France and Belgium will propose institution of the thaler as the monetary unit. The thaler is an obsolete standard, but would be a kind of second rate American dollar, worth about cents. This unit would be guaranteed by export taxes, by the coal mines, factories and Stale forests. The success of the new monetary standard is argued from the institution of French franc in the Saar Basin where the people would now never consent to a return to the mark standard.

Hearst was pre-liicU'd at City Hall today. It was said in authoritative quarters that a break between Hylan and Hearst, has been in the air ever sinco last fall, -when the publisher's Gubernatorial ambit iona were defeated, and that, the loudly-voiced opposition of the New York American and Kve-ninff to tho $50,000,000 "life Bavins" valve in tho face of the Mayor's syspathctic attitude toward the ordinance was a sure indication of Mr. Hearst intending to seize the first plausible excuse for turning Ms hack to the Mayor, politically speaking. Far more than the usual number of Tammany politicians visited the City Hall during the morning hours to visualize the lay of the land after yesterday's bearing on the gas-cutoff measure, during which the request of CJeorge W. Wickersham, attorney for the Hearst papers, for an adjournment of the proceeding was peremptorily denied by Mayor Hylan.

Hut no word came from tlie Mayor's olilee as to the fate of the ordinance, which wilt get another I ublie hearing tomorrow when the oipoHilion will have its say. In official quarters it was said that 1 he Mayor had not definitely made up his mind whether to sign or to l.ill the gas cut-off bill, and would not do so until after tomorrow's hearing that the Mayor would act according to the dietates of his con-weieiice reuarrlless of the attitude of tin Hearst newspapers or any oilier uutsidc influence." one of the city officials who for obvious reasons would not allow the MSr of his name declared that "it miyht he a good thing for Hylan to cut louse from Mr. Hearst, ami stand on I) is own feet. Hylan has the support of Iltl overwhelming majority of the people of this city. If the Hearst papers should turn on him it wonM.

nV opinion, prove a hooiin rang. However, niy own he-js that the Mayor need not fear Hacks upon him by the New York "American and Kvening Journal if ionl.I approxe Ik- gas cut -oft oniiiK'iiei'."

Rabbis Abuse Privilege Of Selling Sacramental Wines, Says' Rose nwald "The rabbis are abusing tht priviU'Krt: given to tliMii of selling sacramental wines," said JuHuh llos-ernvald of Chicago today in addressing the delegates to the Golden Convention of Reform Judaism, at the Hotel Astor. "This convention should go on record ns favoring the repeal of the privilege lo sell wines given by Congress to the rabbis.

Conditions such as exist are a disgrace to Jewry. We should act so us to gain the respect and admiration of our fellow countrymen and of the Jews of Hie world. We can rmver gain hat respect so long as our spiritual leaders are secretly iolating the spirit of the law by selling at bilge profiis wine meant to be ii sett for saci a men la I purposes.
