GERMANY SEEKING
A CRISIS CABINET
MEN TO SHOULDER THE GREAT
RESPONSIBILITIES ARE
HARD TO FIND.
MANY AVOID THE TASK
Prospects of Business Cabinet"
Which Will Decide on Allied
Ultimatum and Will Be Nom
Political, Reported.

Berlin.-Germany is still seeking
men to form new government. A
search is on for men who are willing
to take the responsibility of accepting
the allied ultimatum and economic de-
mands, or stand the consequences Of
their rejection
Conferences among parliamentary
leaders and between the leaders and
President Ebert have failed TO produce
men willing TO take the responsibility
for either course upon their shoulders.
There is again talk that only a
business cabinet" which will be
wholly nonpolitical and made up chief
ly of officials appointed for the pur-
pose of acting temporarily as a gov
eminent, can solve the problem for the
moment.
Gov. Schwander of the Province of
Hesse is the most mentioned as the
head Of such a cabinet.
There were endless conferences at
the Reichstag building without result.
For the time being the leaders or
the three coalition parties-the Cen
tristS, democrats and peoples parties
can be said to constitute a direct
action" government. Until the Off
cial texts of the London ultimatum
and all the forecasted reparation and
reprimand notes are received none of
the political parties is able to state
its attitude.
President Ebert ordered Ambassa-
dor Mayer of Paris to come immedi-
ately to Berlin. This is interpreted in
some quarters as showing the infen-
ton of the president to request Mayer
to attempt the organization of a new
government
Leader Streseman of the nationalist
peoples party, who was at first in
clined to undertake the task of form
ing the new cabinet, now shows a
strong reluctancy. His party is dis
posed to urge Prince Buelow in his
place, but this is not taken seriously.

HARD|NG'S IDEA IS
To D|SARM WORLD
HARVEY WILL SOUND ALLIED
REPRESENTATIVES, IN THE
SUPREME COUNCIL.
AN INTERNATIONAL MOVE
United States Seeks "Iron-Bound
Agreement" From Powers That
They Will Join Move for
Laying Down Arms.

Washington. - The United States
will make the first move toward world
disarmament at the sessions Of the SUI
preme allied council in London.
This was definitely established, the
information being coincident with the
announcement by President Harding
that this country will be represented
on the council.
Col. George Harvey, the new Amer
dean ambassador to the court of St.
James, will formally approach the rep
iresentatives Of the other great powers
on possible limitation of ornaments.
President Harding holds firmly to
the belief that the involved state of
world politics at the present time for
bids his taking personal action toward
disarmament. In taking this stand,
however, the president and every mem
Der of his cabinet agree that reduc-
dion of ornaments would be the great
est humanitarian venture in, history.
The Harding administration may be
said to be solidly in favor of the idea,
'but opposed to the United States do
ing anything until it has an iron
bound agreement from the other
powers that they, too, viii lay down
their arms
However, the president also real
ICES that the problem never viii be
solved unless some power takes the
initiative. He views the meetings OF
the supreme council as the best medi-
UNI for preliminary parleys with the
representatives of Great Britain, Italy,
France and Japan. The three first
named at least are understood already
informally to have shown an inclina-
ton to cooperate.
The president made it plain that he
is not even considering suggesting
disarmament plan for the action Of |
congress. His intention is for the |
United States continuously to |
strengthen it's defenses while the SUI
preme council digests the plans for |
limitation Of ornaments that viii be |
submitted to it by Col. Harvey.

digestion is in the small intestine, with
the Intervention of the pancreatic

ture, However.
Washington.-Judge Lands viii not
be impeached by the House for hold
ing the baseball job at $4,000 per
year, but if the leaders Of congress
succeed in carrying out their present
program no other judge will be able to
accept such a position while he is on
the bench. In private a majority of
the members of the house and senate
admit that it is wrong for Judge Ian
dis to hold the two positions, but they
insist what he is doing is no an i'm
peachable Offense, as it does not in
volve moral teTpitude.
The program is to leave Judge Ian
dis alone and enact a law prohibiting
the holding of an outside job by fed
eral judge. The Kenyon bill, reported
from the judiciary committee of the
Senate, is to be a foundation for the
new legislation. 1t would require
Judges appointed on authority OF the
United States to devote their entire
time to the duties of a judge"
