OVER RUHR LONDON, April 25--While no definite information has reached London con- cerning the character of the proposals which the German government is under stood to be considering with regard to the settlement of the Ruhr question, a feeling of expectancy and confidence is manifest in British official circles, where it is believed Berlin before long will advance certain conerete terms for a solution of this vexed problem. The "fact that the German foreign office asked Downing street for =a verbatim copy of the speech in which Foreign Secretary Cruzon . em- phasized the necessity for such pro- posals is interpreted as a good aug- ury that Germany soon will take de- finite action in this direction. Whether her proposals, however, will take the form of a collective note to the powers or a communication to France alone, or will be expressed in ill quote prices that will , public declaration, is not known. Neither can Downing street say whether Berlin will stipulate ang specific sum as the basis for a repar- ation settlement or: whether she will be disposed to negotiate before the French evacuate the Ruhr.

Owing to the Cargo of furs brought back by the "Nonsuch" in the sum- mer of 1669, a charter for trading rights was applied for and resulted in the charter granted by King Charles the Second, on May 2nd, 1670, to Prince Rupert and his associates forming the "Governor and Com- pany of Adventurers of England Trading into.

Cuno is Hesitating BERLIN, April 25--Whether Ger- many is warranted in now coming for- ward with a reparation offer, in view of her internal financial situation, is one of the questions that is preplexing Chancellor Cuno and his cabinet, ac- cording to well - informed political circles' ; The government is represented as being desirous of showing an accom- modating attitude in response to Germany to make the settlement. The chancellor and his foreign secretary do not lack council in the situation created by Lord Cruzon's address. As regected in the press this voluntary. advice may be sum- med up in the words: "Go slowly; don't get nervous." Among the heichstag parties--notably in the ranks of the United Socialists--there is evidence of a strong determination to force the question of Germany's frontier to an ultimate settlement, and there is also a desire that Germany's position in this respect be fixed quite as indelibly as that of her ultimate repaiation obligation. ASSINIBOINE RIVER HELD BY ICE JAM OVERFLOWS BANKS Thousands of acres under water, at some places four feet deep WINNIPEG, April 24-- Held by a, tremendous ice jam east of Poplar Point, the water of the Assiniboine River is overflowing its north bank, causing one of the biggest floods ever eperienced in that district. Already 20,000 acres of land are under water and in some places it is more than four feet deep. The centre of the jam is south and about a mile and a half west of Mar- quette, which is causing the water to back north towards Raeburn. About a mile west of Raeburn the Canadian Pacific Railway track is threatened and government engifeers with dyn~ amite are going to Marquette this afternoon to blast the jam. Travel as in Venice Poplar Point is completely surroun- ded by water and the residents have been compelled to resort to Venetian methods of travel. Conditions are re- ported to all points between Poplar Point, Raeburn and south of Marquette ' as being much worse than during the flood of 1922. The Portage highway, east and west of Poplar Point is com- pletely under water, and bridges along the highway under which water flowed 1last year, are now completely covered:- '|Last year the water only reached the main highway in a few places, but to- day it west of Poplar Point to from 10 to 15 miles eastward.

The pledge was given yesterday afternoon when in a wave of religious fevor a capacity congregation at Calvary Bap- to foreswear all forms m of so-called 'worldly amusements.' These includ- ed the theatre, motion pictures, card playing and dancing. Only two per- sons kept their seats. The pledge was the culminating point in the sermon preached by the Rev.
