 AT HOME TO GERMAN
Wallace Declines to Meet TeutOn AmbassadOr-TwO
 Nations Are At War"

Paris, Dec. 16.-Hugh c. Wallace, the American ambassador, last night refused to meet Wilhelm Mayer von Faufbeuren, the German ambassador, because the United States still is technically in a state of war with Germany.
 The incident occurred at an official dinner to the diplomatic corps given by Raoul Peret, president of the chamber of deputies, and his wife. Ambassador Wallace, dean of the diplo- matic corps in the absence of the Italian ambassador, and Mrs. Wallace were the guests of honor.
 Pierre de Fouquires of the foreign office, known as the ''introducer of ambassadors" approached Ambassador Wallace in the reception room before the dinner and said:
 "The German ambassador desires to be presented to you"
 Cant you forget it?" inquired MT. Wallace, who knows M. F'ouqieres very well.
 He is standing just behind me, replied M. Fouqieres. He is very persistent. I did not wish to embar- rass you.''
 ''Tell him." said MT. Wallace. "that I refuse to meet him.
 The German ambassador was stand ing so near that he heard Mir. Wal lace's reply and M. Fouquires repeated the response to him.

Republican Leader Opposes Houston's
 Tax Program to Raise Si,000,00O a for Two Ycars-Devises Caution in
 New Taxcs-Norc Tariff Possible.

Washington, Dec. 16. - Urging rigid economy" in appropriations for government expenses, Represen- tative Mondell. republican leader, de- clared in the house today that the total estimate of S4,653, 3,S00,000 sub- mitted byI the secretary of the treas ury, should be reduced by approxi- mately s1,400, 900, 900. This reduction, he said, must be effected chiefly in estimates for the army and navy and also for sundry civil expenses the total of which, he pointed out, ex- ceeded current appropriations by more than $914,00O,000.
 Too Much for Armaments.
 1.-TWO years after the war he add ed, "when the world outside our bor- ders is largely bankrupt and every body is praying for reduction of armaments. the administration asks for an appropriation of more than s1.414, 100000 for the army, navy and Qualifications, or 1-2 times the highest peace-time appropriation of 1916"
 Pointing out that current deficien- cies were not included in this total MT. Mondell declared these may be swol- len indefinitely if the war depart ment continued its policy of recruit ing the army to full strength
 Congress Must Act.''
 Declaring this action was ''in en- tire harmony" with the attitude which the war and some other departments had assumed toward congress in this administration he said it had be- come the duty of congress to take action that would prevent such squandering of the peoples money by creating deficiencies in violation of law"
 Continuation of a tax program de- signed to raise a minimum revenue of $4,000,000, for two years, as recommended by the secretary of the treasury. was "unjustifled," he said It is not Justified, he added, even for one year, .z..s
 Opposes Houston's Plan.
 The republican leader opposed Sec- retary Houston's plan for retiring with current revenue more than s3,600,- 100000 of the country's floating and bonded war debt, including half billion of Victory notes, by January 30, 1923, placing an unnecessary burden upon the people and busi- ness"
 While he favored repeal of the excess profits tax and reduction of the higher income surtaxes Mfr. Mondeli said, he though it unnecessary at this time to consider alternative revenue provisions because mo one can tell what increased revenues may result from the passage of a tariff bill along protective lines"

SEVERE EARTHQUAKE

Geotgetown seismograph Registers
 Most Violent Disturbance in More
 Than Two Years.
 Washington, Dec. 16.-An unusually severe earth shock estimated to be 2.S00 miles in an east t-westerly dircc- ticn from Washington was recorded early today on the seismograph at Georgetown university. The record ing of the shock began at 7:25 a. m., the maximum intensity was reached at S:07 a. m. and it still was in pro- gress at $50 a. m. The disturbance was described by the Rev Father Francis A. Tondorf, director of the Georgetown seismological observatory, as the worst recorded here in two years. The distance 2,s0O miles from Washington estimated by Father Tondorf would indicate the location of the disturbance to be in the United States near the Pacific coast, if to the west, or Tn the vicinity of the Azores if to the east. .. *+
