thinks he erred in permitting them

REPUBLIC OF GER
MANY FACES GEN
ERAL BREAKDOWN
Ebert and Stresemann Appeal to Na
tion and Warn its Enemies
Have Faith in the People.
Berlin, Nov. 5. Armistice week
finds the 5-year-old German republic
in the throes of a nationwide politi
cal, economic and social crisis, the
outcome of which may be determined
through such minor factors as the
rising or falling prices for bread, po
tatoes and coal.
It may also terminate in the sud
den proclamation of a national dicta
torship, the demand for which is
gaining perceptible momentum
among all classes of the people, who
apparently are willing to barter their
present political liberties for even a
hazy prospect of amelioration ot their
social condition. Germany tonight
outwardly suggests a loosely federat
ed psuedo-republic, without such ele
mentary prerequisites as a national
currency or a safely anchored con
stitutional government supported by
a representative parliament.
Into this situation President Ebert
and Chancellor Stresemann tonight
projected an appeal to tne nation, j anza of the imperial Veterans' asso
in which they affirm their determi- . c.iation who has been making a tour

in this very serious time uer
raanyis threatened with internal con
vulsions, certain sections oi me com-
munity, although numerically strong,
are replying on the distress of the
people to attempt to exercise illegal
pressure on the government and to
throw the torch of internecine war
fare among the people."
After declaring the government's
determination to repei sucn attempts men after tney pot here and carry.
the proclamation continues: ing on among the newcomers the
"The maintenance of tne unity of same efficient work that has been ac
the reich and law and order in Hie!..,!.,, , ttianiInt
interior are necessary prerequisites
icr overcoming the present distress
resulting from unemployment, seri
ous economic conditions and unparal
leled political pressure."
In the way of warning the procla
mation says:
"Those nations and leading per
sonages who are aware of Germany's
intolerable distress and who desire
to help Germany should not despair
of the German people. The German
government possesses the necessary
strength to deal with any putsch and
protect tne constitution ogr tne reicn.
"The reichswehr.and ponce, loyal
to their oath, will do their duty. The
government firmly believs that, if
agianst its will it is forced to fight,
the whdle German people will stand
behind it in defense of order and
the freedom of the German reich."

reau.
At the very time the bureau was
selling these supplies at approximate
ly 20 per cent of their invoice value,
it was buying the same kind of goods
at full market value. While it was
shipping new bed sheets through one
door of the depot to a Boston con
cern for approximately 16 cents each,
it was bringing in through another,
more sheets of not so good a quality,
purchased from a New York company
for $1.03 each, according to the tes
timony. The detailed story of the transac
tion was told principally by N. B.
Hendrix, chief storekeeper of Perry-1
K '
I
The decision to sell part of the
Perryville stores as surplus was
made by the bureau planing board J
on November 10, 1922. Within a
haan lo r, Thnmnonn-Vflltir nn
of Boston, and the goods were begin-.
ning to move out or the depot.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
deal was furnished by the statement
that 150 freight carloads of sheets,
towels, blankets, gauze and other
materials were hauled away.
Lieutenant Charles R. O'Leary,
chief of the bureau supply division
during the transaction, insisted that
the sheets were "reclaimed" and
were unfit for veterans hospitals
He also Questioned the accuracy of
statements that the bureau was
ing sheets at the same time it was:n?u -attorneys ior tne prose-
selling them.
Thereupon General O'Ryan produc- "rsumems on an tnese motions may
ed documents to show that while the!be concluded by Wednesday night. If
sale was going on the bureau bought-6Uch is the "ase. lawyers will have
thousands of sheets for the Perryville !
depot and called Hendrix, the store-
keeper, to the stand to testify that
the sheets sold, with few exceptions,
were new and unused.
Among the goods sold to the
Thompson-Kelly company, Hendrix
testified, were 98,995 suits of winter
pajamas, made by Red Cross work
ers throughout the country. These
were of unusually fine qualty, It was
stated, and yet they brought the gov
ernment only 30 cents per suit. '
Winter pajamas are now badly
needed by the bureau.
The Dublic health service protest-
ed vigorously against the sale of some
or the stores, according: to Hendrix,
but their protest went unheeded.
ANOTHER FLOOD LOSS
Among those who lost their pos
sessions in the flood, we find Jesse
McGrew of Valley. He had loaned
his Ford to Mr. and Mrs. Alfred
Leard to come down to attend the
funeral of Mrs. Leard's mother, Mrs.
Susie McCarver. who died the day
before the flood from burns received
the same days. This car was swept
away by the rushing waters, but it
was later found in such a bad con
dition that it is doubtful if it can be
put in good running order again.
Mr. and Mrs. Leard and their two
little sons were drowned, but their
bodies were recovered the next day.

The dominion government, as their
share of the burden would assume
the responsibility of establishing the

on the land.
What is really needed in Canada is
a national immigration policy, Maj.
Speranza asserted.
The British immigrant who comes
to Canadian shores is bewildered by
the rival claims of the different prov
inces, he said. He is told by one
group that Alberta is the best of the

come to their own section of the do

to meet the difficulties of pioneering
life in some distrcts.
They are responsble for the crush
ing disillusionment which follows
the discovery that the bright and
rosy picture, which led the Immi
grant to break his home ties and
throw in his lot with citizens of an
other country, was not a reflection
of actual conditions. This policy is
all wrong, in the major's opinion.

WALTON TAKES CASE
TO FEDERAL COURTS
Governor of Oklahoma Trying to In
voke Government Intervention
to Prevent His Eemoval.
Oklahoma City, Nov. 6. Governor
Walton took his case to the federal
courts today in an effort to invoke
government intervention in the se
ries of tangled events which has
marked the political life of Oklahoma
for the last several months. The
outcome of the action is expected to
depend on the question of whether
the impeachment proceedings against
the executive will be disposed of in
the near future, or whether they will
drag thru the slow processes of law to
a final decision by the United States
supreme court. If the latter condi
tion obtains, observers say 'tonight,
many- unexpected complications in
the situation may come that would
be unprecedented.
The governor sprang his latest
spectacular move by applying in
United States district court at Law
ton for a writ of supersedeas charg
ing that the state legislature partici
pated in a conspiracy with the Ku
Klux Klan to remove him from of
fice. Hearing on the action was f-et
for tomorrow afternoon after Judge
Cotterall had refused to consider the
action in order to permit proper no
tification of all parties.
The petition asks the court to hear
the executive's charges that he is
unable to obtain a fair trial before
the court of senate impeachment and
if his charges are sustained to is.ue
a permanent injunction against the
legislature preventing it from pro
ceeding with his trial.
