FORCES PRESSING HARD
FOR FALL OF EBERT
BY CARL d. GROAT
Omitted Press Staff correspondent)

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
BERLIN, Oct. ia mighty effort
to destroy the Ebert-Bauer-M Muller
government is under way.
The press admits it. the right and
left are quite open about it. and the
government itself knows that tremen-
dous forces are pressing and pulling
and hauling in a titantic effort to es-
tablish a new regime.
The government press is striving TO
create a sentiment for a dictatorship
OF the middle parties" whilst the con-
! servative organs quite frankly either
/ lean for monarchy or something dark
ly reactionary, and the left papers are
doing their utmost to restore the radi-
calism OF last November.
At present it appears to the best OBJ
servers to be more or less of toss-up
as to the source of the next crop; but
there is a distinct impression that the
late fall or early winter-with its cri-
tical industrial situation-will be seiz-
ed upon BY the malcontents of right
and left as a medium for their over
throw attempts.
Erwin Barth. editor of Vorwaerts.
writes in the socialist weekly, Die
GIocke, There is no man in Germany
who is content with the situation, and
each Is right in his d!scontentment-
We al know that. since the days of the
revolution. we have day by day be-
come poorer; that the foreign nations
have no confidence in Germany: that
the morale bewilderment progresses
daily and that dishonesty and disin-
clination to work control the siuation
both in political and economic things"
All is talk. talk, talk, according to
Barth, who would see Germany de-
voted to upbuilding-using all the
means in her power even to brutal
power to attain the one needed end
of reconstruction.
Dilating on Barth's article, the Tag
Iiche Roundschau draws the conclu-
sion that the upbuilding. the restora-
ton of order. work and peace can
come only from "other sides"-name-
" the rieht-rather than from the
middle, which contends, has made
fa ilure: or frcm the left which parti-
cipated in the November revolution.
At the same time, the Rundschau
says that the left is preparing 'tunder
the eyes of the administration" to
stage another revolution.
There are adequate proofs at hand
that the left's method at present is
bloodless program. The communists
would overturn the government
through a general strike. But, the
communists and the independents are
divided among themselves. and are
not presenting the strong front which
many credit them with doing.
On the other hand. the right has
gathered funds for strong campaign.
1t is behind the anti-Secitic propagan-
da which is being used as a means OF
stirring up sufficient internal trouble
to cause an overthrow of the govern"
ment.
Meantime the government and the
proponents of dictatorship of the
middle are clinging ON desperately,
hoping to weather the winter, especi-
ally through the method of taking In

The royal grand patron, Rev. J.
II. Clayborn, b. ID. ID. D., of Ar
kadelphia, made his report, which
showed that he has been watching
most carefully the orders interests.
Some very hopeful suggestions were
outlined in his report for the good of
the order. Among the few things he
said:
I'VE are just climbing from behind
the clouds of one of the bloodiest
wars the world has ever witnessed,
but the best of it all is, we, the
greatest country in the world, won.
The 'armistice' has been signed and
fetted out, and new laws will be
America, the greatest country in the
world, with her allies, have won for
themselves the greatest honors that
could have come to any country in
all the world. Now we are facing a
new world, with new conditions, new
ideas, and we must have new peo-
pie to deal with these new conditions,
and we, as a race must furnish our
quota of whatever it will take to put
us on top again. We gave our boys,
sons, and husbands to the world for
the democracy that has saved the
world, now let us see to it that they
are cared for here. Positions should
be provided for those that offered
their lives for US. Why should we
not sacrifice all to make the recon-
struction mean much to Them

Mishap at Power
Plant Leaves the
City POwerless

A suspension, of power throughout
the city was caused yesterday by a
clogging Of the intake to the boilers
supplying the 5000 kilowatt dyna-
mo at the plant of the Pine Bluff
company. The suspension of power
came early yesterday morning, and
until past noon, the street cars were
immobile, lights were off, fans re-
fused to revolve and other conven-
fences as we'll as necessities were at
a standstill as a result.
Efforts were made to use smaller
dynamos with no success, and when
the dynamo was again put into opera
ton shortly after noon, trouble de-
veloped in a switch board, again af-
fecting the lighting circuit.

he ordinary pressures used.

the ordinary pressures used.
There is more danger in decreasing
the pressure than in permitting it to
increase, for after the tires have
rested while the air pressure will
drop, and there is always the danger
that the motorist will omit to put
in enough air to bring the pressure up
to the required point.
There is no condition in which tires
are subject to greater variations of
air pressure than in automobile rae
ing on our speedways. Yet even on
the hottest days the terrific grinds
of the race track, with tire revolving
20 times a second, do not cause them
to blow out. And there is certainly no
condition in ordinary driving that even
approaches those of the speedway.
The recent races at indianapolis
were held on one of the hottest days
that racers have ever experienced, yet
thirty eight per cent less tires were
changed than at any previous race,
nine of the ten winning cars being
equipped with Goodyear cord tires.
Racing drivers have learned that after
a tire become heated to a certain
point, the radiation of heat from the
tire is as great as the generation of
heat-all of which means that any in
creased air pressure due to heat is
negligible in its effect on the tire.
"There is no question but that
motorists will profit greatly by keep
ing up tire air pressures, no matter
what the heat conditions"

Error to Reduce
Air Pressure in
Tires in Summer

"These hot sumner days are the ones
that cost motorists a lot of money
is the declaration of G. r. Drummer,
manager, service department, the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber company
Akron, O..
Most motorists have wrong inn
rression about the increase of air
pressure in tires in warm weather"
says Mr.. Drummer. "In fact the be-
lief is quite common that on hot days
the air pressure may increase to the
point of causing a blowout. There
really is nothing to this belief, for the
heat does not come from the temper
ature of the air outside, as is COM
monty supposed, but from the natural
fleXing of the tire as it rolls over
the road or street.
GAS this heat is due to the bend
ing of the tire, the same amount of
heat is created regardless of the out
side temperature. Most tire users be-
lieve that to overcome this effect the
pressure must be decreased, and the
common practice is to run tires at a
lower pressure on hot day. But this
increases the bending of the tire car
cass and the motorist actually ag-
gravates the tire condition that he
seeks to relieve when he decreases
the pressure in his tires.
cit IS true that on very hot da ),
the air pressure in tires that are used
continuously increases slightly but
never sufficiently to cause any in
jury to the tire. Tires are not as
fragile as some persons imagine, and
are able to stand three and four times

gave c!ean-cut outline of the orders
standing. Her report showed that the
order was in splendid shape, but she
also stated that some things had to
be done to keep the order safe with
the "Ncw York conference" bill. We
are hoping to make the first start
for the negro fraternities in Arkan-
sas. Several hundred members have
joined the order during the past year.

Prof. l. T. Gillian, R. G. P, made
his report. He said in part that as a
race, we should teach our boys COM
ing home from the war that they
should do only those things that
would commend them to the best
thinking people Of the country.
He said also that the negro sol
dicrs were among the first to go over
the top. They made themselves IA
NOUS by displaying valor in assist
ing in breaking the line of defense
put up SO strongly by our enemies,
the Germans. He gave splendid
tribute to H. Johnson, and others
who played such an important part
destroying those who had grown
strong in their defense against the
Allied powers. The various financial
eofficers made their reports all of
which showed that the order had
grown by leaps and bounds.

the finances Of the order:
C. C. Swayze, of Grady; Ida Jor-
dan. of Little Rock; j. E. Usher, of
Jerico; Ida J. Young, this City; Julia
Cant, and others. The order has han
died over fifty thousand dollars this
past fraternal year. All claims, up
to date that have been past upon have
been paid, and still the order has to

lars.
Departments Flourish.
The E. S. B. A., burial, and state

epidemic, the "flu.' Plans will be
enacted during the three days ses-
sion, to safeguard the order against
any and all dangers in the future.
