Germany Is Facing
A Radical Peril

ne collapse OF the rcacti0nary

quickly followed by the reSump-

the old government. It's chief task
for the moment. it appears, will
be TO deal with the disOrderly con-
ditiOnS which the SpartacanS are
cndcayOring to prOIOng for their
own purposes.
Dispatches StHting that Minister
Oi Defense NOSke, the strong arm
OF the constitutional regime, is
back on the scene in Berlin, have
been followed by reports that
President Ebert also has returned
70 the capital from Stuttgart.
Pending his return, Vice Premier
Schiller. OF the Bauer cabinet,
took over the direction of affairs
rclinquished by DIR. Kapp when
he gave up his effort to establish
Il new government.
There are reports current III Berlin
that eX-Chancellor Kapp had commit,

His prosecution, together
with that OF other leaders Of the re,
dictionary movement, it is said, have
Leen ordered by President Ebert.
Germany has cast off the govern,
mental regime suddenly set up b}
the reactionary elements last Satur,
day morning, but advices indicate
she is facing another extreme peri
in the form of wave OF radical,

Reports from Berlin say Dr.. Wolf,
gang Kapp, the rea :tionary chan,
cellOr, and his adherents have either
fled from the city or contemplate
going at once. Armed forces Of the
reactionary element are leaving Ber.
lin today and the presence OF Gus,
tav Noske, minister Of defense, in
the Ebert cabinet, who arrived in
Berlin last night by airplane from
Stuttgart, would seem to indicate
that the constitutional government
intends to assume control immedi

named commander Of governmenI
forces in Berlin.

Announcements by Dr.. kapp, a:

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, Va.
Nov. 13.-The Greenbrier is having a
busy autumn season, due to the fact
that most of the smart colony here
postponed their usual visits until after
election, and are now making up for
lest time with many brilliant dinners
and outdoor sports. Armistice Day was
celebrated with many dinner parties,
and the great flags of the Allies hang
ing over the portico of the Greenbrier
lent a brilliant touch of color to the
autumn landscape.
Three conferences at the Greenbrier
during the week brought many repre-
sentative society people, the first being
the Electrical Manufacturers Club, fol-
lowed by the Stokers' Manufacturing
Association and the Liverpool, London
and Globe Insurance Company. The
Electrical and Stokers' associations
each held a golf tournament, and the
former was won by Herbert Sinclair.
of Trenton, N. j.
Many dinners and parties at the Co.
lonial Club, with excursions to Elm
week of their stay.
Among those arriving late this week
at the Greenbrier were Mr.. and Mrs
Clifford V. Brokaw, Mr.. and Mrs.
Howard Brokaw, Charles H. Thieriot
and William P. Hawley.
The arrival of Lord Waldorf Astor,
who registered simply as "W Astor,"
caused pleasant little futter of ex-
citement. He intends to spend three
weeks here, and is accompanied by
Lawrence T. Paul, of Philadelphia, a
relative. Lord Astor is taking the
Hcure and spends his days quietly, taking
long walks and keeping to himself.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Iselin, of New
York, are at the Greenbrier, where also
arriving this week to take the cure
were Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert Pell, Of
Tuxedo Park.

WORK is THE ANSWER

THAKLES Nj. SCHWAB is always

with less talking and more work, :"
said Mr.. Schwab. I'VE will all reach
satisfactory results" This is emi
nently true. Lack of production Is the
cause Of most of our economic evils
today as we'll as the principal reason
for the existing high prices. Work is
the only thing which will end this con
dition of affairs. II every American
would take Mr.. Schwab's advice and
work more. whether or not he does less
talking, most Of our troubles would soon
be over.
The steelmaster Is undoubtedly right
when he says that we may all have con
fidence in the future of the country
America has the fundamentals for pros
perity to an extent not possessed by any
other nation on earth. and there can be
no doubt Of our ultimate triumph over
the evils which now assail us. The
aggravating part of it all is that totally
unnecessary stumbling blocks are being
thrown in the way of our immediate
progress to this desired end.

Mr.. McADOO'S mo"

A LTHOCGH Mr.. McAdoo's refusal
a to run for the presidency lacks
what the dramatist would call "motiva
ton" there is no uncertainty in his
language.
Reputation later of a decision which
Mr. Wilson'S son in law has called
'irrevocable" would be an unwholesome
novelty in American politics. Aspir-
ants for the chief magistracy there have
been who were ostensibl; shy or silent
but virtually none Of them ever went
to the extreme OF obstructing the loop
hole Of acceptance. 1t is highly prob &.
able. therefore. that Mr.. McAdoo's $
mo" does not mean yes" under over
whelming pressure.
The mystery lies in his confession Of
relative poverty, at least sufficiently
acute to bar him from politics in favor
Of business. And yet many men pos
sessed Of far less worldly goods than
Mr.. McAdoo-notably Grant, Garfield
and McKinlcy--have in the past en- =
tered the presidential race.
II they were unafraid OF the financial
sacrifices. perhaps the reason for Mr..
McAdoos declination lies deeper. In
this connection 1t is interesting to recall
a fairly we'll authenticated rumor that
the former secretary OF the treasury had
little zeal for challenging his political
opponents unless he were decidedly Ger =
tain of victory.
There is implied cheer for the Re-
publicans in this view, as there Is also
In the elimination of a personal factor
once of considerable potential strength
to the Democracy. Mr.. McAdoo s
abilities have been admitted even by
his foes. His weakness lay in family
afhliation with the prest MT occupant OF
the White House--a connection which
inevitably has fortified Republican cam =
paign arguments concerning attempted
dynastic succession and has fur nished
some heavy ammunition for discharge
from the political platform.
But IL the Democratic camp will be
free from such blows in the future its
present state is one of eleventh hour
confusion. Mr.. McAdoo stood an ex
cellent chance Of winning in the con
vention. His retirement presages q
complicated, not to say hectic, battle in
San Francisco, and mostly with EN- =
phatically second rate material.
The painful choice would new seem
to lie between candidat 5 who are well
known but hardly favorable and those
whose merits, however valid, have en-
joyed scant publicity. That a lively
comedy is impending on the Pacific
slope is scarcely disputable.

s14 zoo, 900, 80 that n per cent year
interest represents a very tidy sum.
The pending ordinance is unquestion-
ably a step in the right direction, but a
proposal recently urged by the Bureau
Of Municipal Research In one Of its
weekly pamphlets, suggesting bids by
the banks for the city deposits, is Ger
tainly worth careful consideration by
Council, in that it protects the city,
makes certain a return to the city on
its deposits and is absolutely fair to the
banks.
Keeping huge bank balances and going
out into the market to borrow money
Is a procedure no business organization
would ever follow. Here again the city
might profitably take a leaf from the
book Of the Board of Education and
keep only working balances in bank,
floating its bonds as cash Is required,
but not tying up large sums in deposits.
In the past there has usually been a net
loss OF not less than 2 per cent per
annum every time the city has bor-
rowed money and let IL lie idle In the
banks, and this loss will continue until
the present methods are changed.
