have been predicting for more than
a year.
An indication that 4 general re-
volt was brewing was contained.
officials pointed out, in recent dis
patches telling of the uprisings of
peasants at Petrograd, Novgorod
and Omsk
At the same time that they reiter-
ated their predictions of the COZ
lapse OF the Soviet power, officials
took care to qualify the forecast.
They found themselves unable TO
predict when the revolt would be
successful, stating that Lenine
might be able to hang on for many
months yet.
The official view is that the up
risiRgs reported from Russia indi-
cate that anti -Bolshevik forces are
gathering strength for a final show

faction.

Maj. Crowel, Former AS
sistant War Secretary,
Urges Efficiency.
IN FAVOR OF LEAGUE
Says Democrats Have No
Monopoly, and Cox Is
Unpromising.
IN FAVOR OF LEAGUE
CBy Universal servfce.)

Mai. Benedict Crowell, a close
friend OF President Wilson's, who
until July l was an assistant secre-
tary of war, and who at numerous
times acted as Secretary of War,
declared himself in favor of the
election of Harding and Coolidge
and a Republican Congress in an
interview yesterday.
Mr. Crowell said he prefers to
take his chances on getting the
league of nations with Senator
Harding rather than with Gov. Cox.
Now that President Wilson is re-
firing from active political life II is
wise for his supporters to take stock
of the situation" said his statement.
II have always favored a league of
nations and am sorry we did not
enter it long ago. The Democratic
party, however, has no monopoly on
the league. .
Failure of Democrnts.
"The Democratic administration
failed to get this country into the
league in spite of the fact that rs
per cent of the Senate favored It.
Nor does opposition to the league
lie wholly within the Republican
party.
Gov. Cox is making many prom
ises regarding the league which he
may not be able to fulflu. World
affairs are changing so rapidly it is
impossible for any man to say just
what should be done six months
hence to make United States infiu-
ence effective in a world concert.
An efficient administration is the
great issue. Senator Harding $
election will. believe. insure more
efficiency than the election of Gov.
Cox. who has been compelled to ac-
cent reluctant support from certain
members of the present administra-
tion who could contribute little
strength to the next administration.
want to see the government really
administered and the only way to
accomplish this is to completely
overhaul the Federal machinery"

Officials Expect Continued
Boosts During Price
Cutting Wave.
PURCHASES INCREASE
Credit Dehation Gives Best
Securities Place In
Market.
fBy United Press-)

Liberty bonds, which advanced
four points last week, are beginning
a steady upward climb as a result
Of credit -dehation, according TO gov
ernment officials
Secretary Houston says the proc
ess is like this:
"Dedatfon is accompanied by an
increase in the buying power OF
money and consequently OF the
promise to pay money at. future
date. Dear money results in part
from the effort to prevent further
expansion. Naturally enough, its
first effect is to force the best Sc
curities in the world on the market
because they are easiest to realize
upon.
Money Nears Normal.
As the inevitable defiation takes
place and the price of money ap-
Droaches normal again the market
price of Liberty and Victory securi-
ties will. Of course, appreciate in
accordance with ineNOrable economic
laws"
Many government officials are now
taking Houston's reasoning as ba-
sis for making large purchases Of
Liberty bonds and Victory notes for
their personal accounts.
More Advances Seen.
The prediction is being freely
made here that bonds will continue
to advance in price this winter and
that next spring will find them far
above the present levels.
This is based upon the belief that
ppiCes Of foods. clothing and other
necessities will continue to decline.
That the present price cutting
wave will continue is regarded as
certain by well-informed officials
here. Price cutting will continue,
they say. so long as the present
high discount rates Of the Federal
reserve banks are continued.
