Berlin. Sept. 16. Financial and
industrial Germany showed much
good will at the meeting Wednesday
with Chancellor Wirth to devise
methods of raising gold and currency
to meet German reparation obliga
tions. The industrial world believes
the basis of government will be wid
ened to permit adequate representa
tion of economic interests.
Newspapers and manufacturers
concur that every effort must be
made to fulfill the allies' demands.
The industrialists calculate they
will be able to produce between 1,
000,000,000 and 1.500.000,000 marks
thus relieving the government of
the necessity of purchasing foreign
currency to the disadvantage of Ger
man exchange.

Germany refused to stage a politi
cal upheaval because of the assas
sination of Mathias Erzberger by an
irresponsible youth. No doubt Ger
many remembers that it was an
event of just this sort that led to
the World War.

"When you let your hair grow

Yes, but the trouble with these

and don't krow it.
OPPOSITION TO THE
TREATY DEVELOPING
Some Republican Senators Opposed
to German Pact on Ground
that it Entangles U. S.
Washington. Sept. 16. Opposi
tion to the Harding treaty of peace
with Germany was understood today
to have developed in republican sen
atorial ranks on the ground that the
pact entangles the United States in
European affairs almost as much as
the league of nations covenant.
How far this opposition will be;
reflected in votes of republican sen
ators is uncertain. Criticism of the
pact is not confined to senators who
were irreconcilables on the Ver
sailles treaty, however.
Senators have been studying the
new treaty for several weeks. In sev
eral instances they have consulted
their colleagues about its provisions.
A number are convinced that the
treaty ties the United States into
the Versailles treaty as surely as
tho the senate had ratified that in
strument. It is significant, however, that no
republican senator, irreconcilable or
moderate, is ready at this time to
state his opposition publicly.
Democratic oppostion is expected
as a matter of course.
BRYAN PLEADS FOR FARMERS.
New Orleans, La.. Sept. 16. Be
cause of the sudden fall in prices of
farm products, and because other
prices have not fallen in proportion,
the condition of the farmer is worse
today than it has been in thirty
years, declared William Jennings
Bryan in an address before the in
terstate farm congress today. Mr.
Bryan declared the farmers "must
stand united against the present ef
forts to shift the burden of taxation
from the privileged few to the
masses. The obvious purpose of the
revenue bill now under discussion in
congress is relatively to decrease the
taxes of the rich and relatively in
crease the taxes of the poor."
"The revenue bill, as it passed the
house, removed the tax from excess'
profits; that is, profits that are ex
cessive, and bestowed upon the profi-!
teers a gift estimated at $450,000,
OpO," said Mr. Bryan.

PLAYING HOST
As hos-t to the delegates to the
Washington disarmament conference
it will be up to the United Slates
government to pay the expenses.
It is inipe.-sible to estimate what
the co.st will be, but it is certain
to run into big figures.
Each delegation will be accom
panied by dozens of experts, secre
taries, etc., totalling several hun
dred. It would not be surprising if
the conference lasted three months.
According to one state department
official, six months is not outside
the possibilities. '
One of the big items cf expense
will be the printing bill.
The printing for one of the Pan
American conferences cost over $ 100,
000, and that was just a tide-show
compared with the conference that
will start in Washington November
11.

UNIONS BEGIN OFFENSIVE
New York, Sept. 16. A counter
offensive against the "open shop"
movement, to center in the southern
textile district was being mapped out
