Berlin correspondents report that
Count Won Hertling has succeeded in
establishing satisfactory working ar
rangements with all parties except
the Socialists and the Conservatives.
Even the Socialists, 1t is added, al
though not abandoning their attitude
of reserve can be counted upon to
make no difficulties for the new gov
eminent unless unforeseen conditions
develop. This virtually amounts to
a continuance of the existing reich
stag bloc with the active support of
the national Liberals. In the reich
stag the Conservatives alone main
tain an adverse attitude toward the
incoming chancellor.
1t Is not known here whether
Friedrich Won Payer has yet been

American Academy Of Po-

War Financing
FAIR RETURN FOR

Frank A. Vanderlip Urges
New Socialized Era
Of Industry"
CRy Associatea Press

Philadelphia, Nov. 3.-General di-
vision of opinion OF whether Ameri-
can industries should be reorganized
under government auspices TO con-
centrate their full energy upon the
production Of war material or wheth-
er heavy taxes be levied to meet
costs of the war under the existing
system OF industrial individualism,
featured yesterdays sessions of the
war finance meeting Of the American
Academy of Political and Social
Science.
Congressman John J. Fitzgerald,
chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee predicted n period of I'M
exampled taxation which, he said,
would be necessary rather than loans
to meet the costs Of war.
Mortimer l.. Schiff of New York
presenting the conservative bank
ers' view said there must be no
hampering OF enterprise by unwise
or unjust taxation.
The public must not he discour-
aged and values must not be leopard
lied by an unfriendly attitude by the
government toward business, he
said. Capital as well as labor must
be permitted to earn q fair return.
Issues of government bonds ought
not to be too frequent and smust not
exceed the absorption power of the
people.
MIR. Schif said the government
must monopolize the investment
market, If necessary. The govern
ment he said. is entitled to have its
money requirements supplied before,
and If need be to the exclusion Of
private enterprises or even of states
or municipalities.
The fundamental thing in our war
finance, according to Roy G. Blakeley
of the University of Minnesota, is the
reduction Of consumption. This is
even more important" he said, than
increased production. Economies
should be forced by governmental
suspension Of unnecessary produc-
ton.
DIR. H. c. Adams of the University
of Michigan and Frank A. Vanderlip
Of New York urged the necessity Of
a new socialized era Of industry in
which the vast energies of the nation
be directed primarily to the purposes
Of the war, without the waste Of
competition.

purpose of enrolling the women OF
Fargo. The name OF every woman in
the country is years of age or over
is being sought by the federal gov
eminent in order that Ii might get a
complete list of the women available
for filling places in the business and
industry of the country. The com-
mittee has prepared a registration
card to be filled out by all women
who wish to help in the war, and
this card has been officially approved
by the government.
Communities are organized by wo-
men getting together In a meeting
which shall include particularly
representatives of all local womens
organizations, and setting up in the
community a body which is a dupli-
cate, on a smaller scale, of the ma
tionaI woman's committee and the
state division.
What Is Expected.
The first suggestion that the COM
mittee makes to women, particularly
those busy in their homes, is that
thev do exactly what they have been
doing-only q little better IL posi-
bic. than before. The committee
believes most women can help best
bv better management in their own
homes. SO as to save food, save fuel,
avoid waste of all kinds. and make
no unnecessary or unusual demands
for service or commodities. IL all
women do this, the resources of the
country in men, money and materials
will be more available for wal, pur-
poses.
Women enrolling should register
with one Of the above local district
chairmen. Then, If there is any
time and opportunity for work out
side the home, do that for which you
are best fitted and that which is
nearest you. Ga.

Won HERTLTNG EXPECTS
MAJORITY IN REICHSTAG
Friends Claim Support of all Parties
But Conservatives and Radical
Socialists.
(By Associated Press.)

Copenhagen, Nov. 3.-Chancellor
Won Hertling evidently will have be-
hind him, at the start at least, the
united support of all parties in the
reichstag EXCEPT the Conservatives
and Radical Socialists. He will be
started on his way with a formal
vote of confidence after his speech
outlining his policy.
According to the chancellor's or
gan, The -Germania, the reichstag
will be convoked in mid November
especially to listen to the declara-
lions of the new head of the govern
ment. An Interpolation will be the
occasion for the speech, because the
rules of the reichstag permit the
members to register their opinions
of the government after an interpret
lation debate.
Berlin political writers agree in
predicting that Phillip Scheidemann
and his Socialist followers, who, it
was feared, would be withdrawn
from formal membership in the
majority bloc, and also the national
Liberals, who never definitely en-
tered it, will form part Of the new
coalition majority.

IMPOSSIBLE TO
ENTER BALTIC
Russian General Condemns
Kerensky for Criticising
British Fleet
(By Associated Press.l

London, Nov. 3.-General Gurko.
of the Russian army, who arrived
recently in England from Russia, in
an interview in The Daily Express,
says Premier Kerensky showed lack
of political sense in blaming the
British fleet for not entering the
Baltic. He declared such entry was
not only impossible, but could not
have been carried out in time to pre-
vent the Germans from landing on
the islands in the Gulf Of Riga.
General Gurko agrees with Ker-
ensky that Russia is exhausted for
the time being. but adds she should
be able to undertake her share Of the
fighting.
