I ow the safety line hat been with drawn westward until only France remains behind. The smallest gaps from Alsace to Holland are being tilled up and passage across the Rhine is becoming more and more difficult. ' To Demand Moratorium. With the news from the Rhine came telegrams to the reparations ! commitsionfrom Berlin that several 4 German representatives are eu route ' to Paris to demand a moratorium on cash payment for the next two months and possibly for-the re mainder of thit year. It is stated that an equivalent in merchandise is promised instead. xThe sudden plea has forestalled the guaranty com mission, which is now in Berlin try ing to adjust the finances. During the German crisis the Rhine line is intended as a sanitary cordon, to hold back communist propaganda, rather than to hold back physical attacks. About 2,500 French and Belgian airplanes on the Rhine make a physical attack impossible. France is remarkably free from communism, but its position might grow dangerous if Germany were to k adopt revolutionary ideas. f Premier Calls Attention of U. S. to German Crisis K London, July 9.

Lincoln Laborers Change Registration to Aid Bryan Lincoln, July 9 (Special.) The city registration office which re mained open here Saturday until 9, did a rushing business. It was the first day, however, that officials re ported heavy registration. A number of Russian laborers, a majority of whom told officials they were born in Russia, asked to have their party affiliation changed from republican to democratic. This, po litical observers claimed, was the re sult of sympathetic talks given strik ers recently by "Brother Charlie" Bryan, one of the democratic candi dates for nomination for governor. Bryan denied he made political speeches.

There need be no mystifica tion over the harmony movement that it designed to unite the Hitch cock and Bryan factions of the demo cratic party in the coming primary. In many towns about the state, prominent democrats, some tradition ally wet, tome dry, are uniting for the primary contest. The object, which never it mentioned publicly, it simply to collect the fragments of the democratic party in preparation for the national campaign of 1924. - There are four candidates for the democratic nomination for governor of Nebraska. One is Dan Butler of Omaha, anotfier is J. N. Norton, a farmer of Polk county, who is en tered also on the progressive ticket. Then there is Will M. Maupin, an editor of Gering. The fourth is Charles W. Bryan of Lincoln. There are two democratic candidates for senator, Gilbert M. Hitchcock of Omaha, and J. O. Shroyer, a farmer of iumboldt. Harmony Club Slate. At one of these Harmony clubs organized in Columbus last night, the following slate was drawn up: Hitch' cock for senator. Bryan for gover nor, William J, McNichols for lieu tenant governor, Kenneth VV. Mc Donald for attorney general, and Ed g.ir Howard for congressman. Always an interesting personality, Mr. Bryan now hat become even more of a storm center. A month ago he wrote to the Commoner, "I believe that the democratic party can be united on an honorable basis. I believe it is possible to re-elect Sen atof Hitchcock to the United States senate." The conditions on which he based this opinion were the acceptance by Hitchcock of the prohibition and suffrage issues, "as already settled by the voters 'of the state," and the assumption that he would "vote and use his influence in the senate, if elected, to uphold the .well known sentimehr of ' Nelrtaslca.-wrricri is" bp posed to any modification - which would weaken the Volstead act, and that he would support a liberal ap propriation for the enforcement of prohibition." I Not Stamping the State. Mr. Bryan is not stumping the state, but is depending on letter writing and calls from friends in his campaign. His duties as city com missioner in Lincoln and as editor of the Commoner, keep him hus tling. His suite of JQur office rooms is constantly filled with visitors. While one is left to stare at the bust f W. J. Bryan and the photographs and mementoes of presidential cam paigns in which his famous brother participated, Mr. Bryan disposes of his callers in the order in which they appear, sometimes holding overflow meetings in the hall. He comes in soon and the visitor , sees a genial, wholesome looking man. without the (Turn to Pag Two, Column Three.) O'Neill Turns Out to. Mourn Kinkaid O'Neill, Neb., July 9. (Special Telegram.)
