PRESENT WEEK TO BRING CRISIS FOR GERMANY Next Few Days Expected to Determine Life o£ Pres ent Republic Universal Service London, Oct. 29.—(1 a. m.)—The Saxon cabinet, after a protracted meeting which lasted all day and up to midnight, rejected the demand of the central German government for the resignation of the radical Saxon government, according to a Berlin dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph. —♦— GROVE CRISIS NEAR Universal Service Berlin, Oct. 28.—Germany is facing Wh.it is to be perhaps the most fate ful week since the armistice that trided the World war. The unity of the reieh is at stake and the events of the next few days are expected, in political circles, to go a long way toward determining the very life of the republic in its present form. Pressed by the nationalist elements on one hand and crowded by the so cialists in his own cabinet on the other, Chancellor Stresemann is be ginning to manifest more and more a desire to become dictator in fact as well as in name. With his ultimatum to the radical socialist-communist government of "‘red Saxony” to "get out and be ■quick about it,” and In sharp con trast to his polite “request” to Ba varia to get back into constitutional lineup within he treich, Sressemann Is staking his all on "to be or not to be” dictator and is ready to play his trump card—the reichswehr—against the radical Saxon government. Would Reject Ultimatum The Saxon cabinet with Premier Zeigner presiding, convened in spe cial session Sunday morning and re mained in almost uninterrupted de liberation until after 6 o'clock Sun day night. About 1 o’clock Premier Zeigner, talking over the telephone, from Dresden, said: "I cannot say what decision may be arrived at by the Saxon government tout I can tell you my own personal decision and that is for the rejection of the Berlin ultimatum. There was much talk of answering ■Berlin's ultimatum with a general strike in Saxony and possibly in all the middle and north of Germany. Ir« Munich a special council of the min isters had been called for Monday to determine Bavaria’s attitude on Stresemann’s request to turn the reichswehr to the constitution auhor ~ity of Berlin. Bavaria Holding Out In long distance talks with mem bers of the Bavarian government at Munich, it was asserted that there was little prospect of Bavaria acced ing to the demands of Berlin. It was pointed out that the annual conven tion of the Bavarian people’s pary Saturday approved the policy of Dic tator Von Kahr and Premier Von Knilling. One member of the govern ment said: “Bavaria is loyal to the reieh, but come what may, it will not recede from Its standpoint in this question. If the present Berlin government forces he issue Bavaria will be com pelled to pursue its own policy.” Just what Stresemann will do if Bavaria’s answer takes that turn Is a much debated question. In parliamentary circles it is ex ■ - pected that the socialists will be out of Stresemann’s cabinet by the end of the coming week. That would clear the way for a "dictatorship cr the right.” Moro Forces Clash With Constabulary Philippine Troopers Victors in Fierce Engagement With Outlaws By Universal Service ' Manila, Oct. 28.—Moro Jnsurrectors armed with spears, have attacked Col.

SUBMARINE 0-5 SUNK BY SHIP IN LIMON BAY Diving Operations in Prog ress to Recover Bodies— Investigation Ordered Washington, Oct. 28.—Five enlisted men were killed when the United States submarine 0—5 was sunk in collision with the steamer Abangarez in Limon bay early Sunday. An official report of the disaster was received at the navy department Sunday afternoon from the command ant of the submarine base at Coco Solo, Panama canal zone. The commandant’s report follows: ’’U. S. S. 0-5. in collision wi-n steamer Abanarez at 6:24 a. m. Sun day off No. 3. Limon bay. Following named men unaccounted for: ’’Lawrence T. Brown, Tyngsboro, Mass., chief electrician’s mate. "Clyde E. Hughes, Manito, III., mo tor machinists mate. "Henry Ereault, Grande Isle, Vt., torpedo man, second class. "Thomas T. Metzler. Philadelphia, fireman. Fred C. Smith, Cristobal, Canal Zone, mess attendant. Investigation Ordered "Apparently no damage steamer. Diving operations in progress. Board investigation ordered." Limon bay is the large body of water at the Atlantic entrance to the Panama canal. The Coco Solo submarine base. Cristobal, the Ameri can city, and Colon, the Panamanian town, are situated on the shore of the bay. The 0-5 evidently was on a practice run in the bay when the collision occurred. The Abangarez, a steamer of the United Fruit Company’s fleet, the of ficial report indicates, struck the un dersea craft. Had the submarine rammed the steamer, the latter In evitably would have been more or less seriously damaged, If not sunk. The diving operations are for the purpose of determining the exact na ture of the crash, whether or not the sunken boat may be raised and salv aged, and to recover the bodies of the missing men. The board of investigation will de termine the responsibility for the accident. The full complement of the 5-5 was three officers, three petty officers and 24 men. The keel of the submarine was laid in December, 1916. by the Fore River , Shipbuilding Company at Quincy, Mass. The ship was launched on November 11, 1917. and placed in commission during the following June. The 0-5 had-a lewgth over all of 172 feet, a br-/adth of 18 feet, and a draft of 14 feet, 5 inches. Its dis placement, submerged, is 624 tons. The surface speed of the vessel was i 14 knots per hour, and the submerged speed 10.5 knots. -—i 4444444444444-444444 4 4 4 STEAMER LEVIATHAN 4 4 SETS WORLD'S RECORD 4 4 Universal Service 4 4 London, Oct. 28—The Levia- 4 4 than was given a wonderful 4 4 eendoff Sunday after setting 4 4 a new world’s record for a 4 4 round trip for a vessel of her 4 4 size. 4 4 Reaching Southampton Sat- 4 4 urday morning at 9:50, the 4 4 Leviathan occupied 25 hours 4 4 preparing for her westward 4 4 passage.

FERGUSON, Universal Service Correspondent Oklahoma, City, Oct. 26.—Trial of J. C. Walton, suspended governor of -Oklahoma, on 22 Impeachment al legations will commence at 10 o’clcck next Thursday morning. Meantime other articles may be filed against him by an inquisitorial committee of the house of represen fat Ives. While Walton is answering his ac cusers- the machinery under control of the house and senate will be start ed moving In merciless Investigation of charges against the Ku Klux Klan. A grand Jury will be summoned in each county of the state and all the powers of law enforcement will * set to work to get at the truth re garding klan activities and the or ders alleged influence over the local officials, who also will be Investi gated. "Waltonism will be stamped out." said Speaker W. D. McBee of the house Friday: “Then we'll go straight down the line to the most remote corners of the state. Walton was not sincere about this but we are." Senate Orders Probe A Joint resolution demanding the klan’s investigation was passed by the senate and a committee ap pointed. The house already had adopted the measure and Friday the speaker will name a committee of three, "two of whom,” he an nounced “are Hot members of the klan, the third being a Catholic.” This matter being attended, the house proceeded to impeach Walton on the final count, a general charge of incompetence. All charges then were compiled and the house board of seven managers presented them to the senate, which immediately re solved into a court of impeachment presided over by Chief Justice John son of the supreme court and whose members were sworn by him to give the accused an impartial hearing and to deal justice. The charges were consolidated in the senatorial court, to permit of only one process being served but each will be tried and decided on its individual merits. The impeachment court then set the hour of trial and directed that a summons and certi fied copy of the impeachment ar ticles be served on the former chief executive. It adjourned until Thurs day the senate immeediately recon vening and adjourning until Monday. Eight Articles Adopted Eiiciit articles were adopted by the house. They alleged unlawful issu ance of a $10,000 deficiency certifi cate; abridgement of the press and censorship; unlawful appointment of ‘‘special officers" with authority to carry arms; falsification of campaign expenditures: abuse of pardon and parole power; collection, under vari ous excuses, of large sums of money for his own private use after be coming governor; unlawful issuance of a deficiency certificate for $4,000 and a general charge of incom petency. When the 22nd article., Incorporat ing all the preceding accusations, came up for consideration Walton was given the most violent oral cas tigation by Representative C. W. Miller ever heard In the Oklahoma assembly. He declared that under Walton’s administration Oklahoma was under control of the lawless ele ment which, in turn, was controlled by ‘‘the most lawless of them all. Walton,’’ and claimed the evidence proved it, with not only accepting bribes, but that he actually went out and solicited them. Miller’s speech such a bit of superior oratory that the house voted to have It printed. Acting Governor Trapp’s first of ficial act Friday was to order rear rest of a notorious murderer and bandit pardoned Tuesday by Mr. Walton. Two additional charges ot murder have been placed against him. The senate’s attorney was asked for an opinion relative to impeach able offenses “per se“ which would cover many of the articles of Im peachment, It is said, and reduce the necessity for long-drawn-out testimony as proof against the former governor. Testimony on the eight charges heard Friday was sensational, tend ing to show that Walton had con verted large funds to his private use and exceeded constitutional author ity in several cases.

Only Small Cardboard Marker at Grave i of Champ Clark, Missouri Statesman From the Hastings, Neb., Tribune. There 1b an old saying to the effect that one must live like a con queror, a king, or a magistrate, but he must die like a man. Well, that is what Champ Clark did. Today nothing but a small card board marks his only monument. Champ Clark is known to the nation as a man who came within a hair's breadth of winning the presidency in 1912, and he is also known as a man who won fame as speaker and democratic leader in the na tional house of representatives. Up to the hour of his death, two years ago, he was a national figure. But, how soon, oh, how soon. Is man forgotten! Senator Willis, of Ohio, who served in congress with Champ Clark, recently paid a visit to Bowling Green, Mo., and the first thing he did was to visit the grave of his old friend, Champ Clark. He said he made 1 Inquiry of a number of persons as to the location of the grave and the most specific answer he could get was that Champ Clark was burled some place in the town cemetery. Of course, Willis knew that without being told. However, he finally decided that the way to find out was to go to the cemetery and make an investigation. There was not a person in the whole town who seemed to have any definite Idea about the location of the grave. After an hour’s constant search in the cemetery Willis gave it up and went back to town where he told his troubles to a colored man who he happened to meet. Fortunately, the old colored man knew where the grave was. * Willis and the negro went to the cemetery together where the grave was finally located. It was hidden frotn view by foxtail grass and polk weeds and in about as “God forsaken place as it could be.” In speaking of this Incident Senator Willis said he almost had to pinch himself to see if he were awake. He said that Champ Clark’s grave was hidden from view beneath an unsightly mattress of grass and weeds, without a monument or marker anywhere. Such was the condition of the grave of one of Missouri's greatest citliens and one of the nation’s greatest democrats. Senator Willis took his pen-knife and cut some of the largest weeds In and around the grave. It was_ while doing this that be came across a little piece of tin that had grooves at each end, and in this small framework was a piece of cardboard that looked about like part of the side or lid of a pasteboard shoe box. On this small piece of cardboard was wri’ten in pencil: “Chump Clark, 71 years of age. March 2nd, 1921.” And even this would not have been there were It not for the fact that the law of Missouri requires the undertaker of every burial to place at the grave a temporary tin marker. This, of course, is always done whether the deceased was one of the highest or lowest of^citlzens. Ah, how soon are the mighty forgotten! Extension of Federal Law Made at Expense of Local Self Government From the Indianapolis News. Several constitutional amendments are looming on the hori koh, not all Qf them objectionable in themselves. But it might be . well for the people to ask themselves whether there should not be a ‘ ‘ closed season ’ ’ for the Constitution as against further changes. Whenever people find that the federal government can not do what they think it ought to do they at once begin a campaign for an amendment conferring the power to do that thing. It never seems to occur to them that the power may have been designedly withheld, nor can they see that the nonexistence of a given power is in itself no reason for calling it into being. The Constitution was designed to be, not simply a grant of power, bnt also a limi tation on the powers granted, and a denial of other powers— those reserved to the states or the people. Yet every time a limi tation is discovered there are always some who wish it removed. It is suggested that for a time at least the Constitution be left as it is. There are more amendments now than there is Consti tution. If the amending process continues we shall, before very long, have a practically new Constitution, adopted by piecemeal, and without any serious consideration. Nor is the fact—if it be a fact—that the changes suggested are good, sufficient reason for making them at the present time. But it is highly important that our people should get accustomed to thinking of the federal fov ernment as one of granted and limited powers, of the Constitution as the source of the grant and the limitations—highly im portant that they should not revolt every time the limitations begin to operate. It should be remembered, too, that every new power granted to the Washington government is one withdrawn from the states and the people of the states. It does not seem wise just now fur ther to disturb the balance which has already been so greatly dis turbed and modified. By all means let us have a closed season as against.the amenders. The Foundation of All Progress, All Government, All Civilization, Is Religion From the Philadelphia Ledger. “The foundation of all progress, all government and all civil ization is religion.” The quotation is from President Coolidge’s letter on the consecration of the Episcopal Bishop of Washington, but it rings with the fervor of a Paul writing to the early Chris tiana. Many persons are looking upon the renascence of Christian be lief in this country as at a marvel. If it seems a kind of latter-day miracle to them, it is only because religion, to many, had become a symbol instead of a reality. Of course there were always many who regarded religion as the chiefest of the realities of life. It is true, however, that the country had come at least to the dangerous fron tier of irreligion. It is no less true that the country has faced about, and, with firm step and head held high, is pressing back to the faith of its fathers. The president preached a powerful lay sermon. It is heed worthy that it came from a layman. This present religious revival 1 comes largely from laymen. In many respects it is less the masses of people of all denominations answering the call of the church than it is a call for the church sent out by the people. This time the flocks are seeking the shepherd. If, as the president said very truly, the strength of the country lies in its religious convictions,” we should be at the daydawn of a brighter and more heart-warming era than we have ever known. * “Spirit messages Impress scient ists." The scientists must have been duller than usual or tha medium cleverer than usual.

Messages were written on those cards and the names of Stead and James, dead gentlemen interested in spiritualism. Most marvelous of all, "the thing was done In broad daylight."
