Irish Peace in Balance---Gem1an Crisis

TT is not yet clear whether the assassination OF
i Matthias Erzberger by German monarchists has
resulted in what is really a very serious political
crisis or merely in a situation that has been played up
for all it is worth by the Wirth government to
strengthen itself with the German pope and to create
favorable impression with the league council which
is preparing decision the division OF Upper Si-
lesa There is no doubt about the FIRE works which
the assassination has caused in the German press.
The Independent and Majority Socialist papers as
well as some Of the organs of the Catholic party to
which Herr Erzberger belonged have violently at
tackled the Nationaists and have charged the reac-
tonary press with moral responsibility for the former
vice chancllors death. By way OF reply, the Ma
tonaist papers have brought libel suits against their
accusers. AS for the German government, 1t has
given every indication of fearing that the monarchists
were preparing to attempt new revolution.
1t has seized this opportunity to issue strict de-
crees against monarchist demonstrations and against
the publication of articles advocating the overthrow
of the republic. Is has also issued new regulations
forbidding the wearing of the imperial uniform by
former officers except by permission OF the govern
ment authorities. At the same time the republican
leaders appear to have encouraged rather than as
couraged demonstrations for the republic throughout
the country.
To these DEGREES and to the democratic demon
sra.ions the Nationalists have not replied, but Is
obvious that the incident has furnished the Wirth
government with an opportunity to improve its po-
stion Whatever strength the government has gained
will be needed when the Reichstag assemblies and
takes up the discussion Of the drastic taxation meas
ures formulated by DR.. Wirth to provide funds for
reparations The bitterness which has been engen.
dered by the assassination Of Herr Erzberger ana
subsequent events is likely to deprive the chancellor
of the advantage he has derived from the benevolent
neutrality of the German peoples party and may
force him to reconstruct his cabinet by making
shift to the Left in order gain the support OF the
Independent Socialists If he is able to do this ana
still retain the support of the Catholic and Demo
cratic parties his position will be strengthened ana

International Relief in Russia.

THE meeting in Paris of delegates representing
L France, Great Britain. Belgium, Italy and ia
pan constituting the International Commission for
Russian Relief attended by Walter Lyman
Brown, the European director of the American
lief administration. who recently concluded the agree
ment with the Soviet government for the feeding of
Russian children. The most important announce
ment which has from this session is that while
the American organization would cooperate in every
way with the international committee, it would not
rclinquish control of its operations that body 1t
appears from dispatches that some of the representa-
tves at the Paris meeting have expressed their dis
appointment that the Americans will not permit their
relief action be absorbed in in international pro-
gram There is little question: however. but that the
policy announced by Mr.. Brown not only will insure
the best results but in view of the circumstances is
the only policy the American organization adopt.
There is, of course nothing in the American policy
which will prevent the nations represented the

international committee from sending relief to Russia
either individually collectively.
The American action it must not be forgotten, is
being carried by a private organization. Its OBJ
ject is to save Russian children without regard to
political or commercial considerations In order TO
achieve this object it has reached agreement with
the Soviet government by which it undertakes to
carry its operations without engaging in political
activity and in it is to be free from political in
reference by the Russian authorities If the Ameri-

occur for sometime as both armies having great
difficulties in securing an adequate water supply.
A Moscow dispatch says that the Soviet Russian
government has granted a concession to engage in
extensive mining operations in Siberia to a London
corporation This is particularly interesting in view
of the fact that the mines for which the concessions
are granted were owned and operated by the con-

sequent naturalization by the Soviet government.
An important decision made by the council Of the

not an international issue but problem of interpreting

means that the council will not consider it necessary
to hear arguments by the Polish and German govern

ROME, October 18.-The policy of the
American government regarding rccog-
milton of the payment of Europes debts,
especially ItaIy's. 'is unjust and inn
prudent" declared the Popolo Romano
in an editorial today.
ut is unjust" declared the editorial,
because America cannot equitably
claim payment Of sums advanced to US
for our needs which were directly and
solely occasioned for continuation of
the war in which Italy spent all her re-
sources and was not able to continue
without aid from the allied and asso-
ciated nations, who were more powerful.
The results Of the war show who gained
the major advantages. IL is, therefore,
logical that the burdens should be
shared equally. Inasmuch as Germany
will be unable to fulfil the financial OBJ
legations of the treaty Of Versailles. it
is unjust for America to force payment
from US. who are materially impotent.
England lent the allies f1.000. 900. .000
sterling: America, in turn, lent Eng
land $4,000. 100000 sterling. The Lon.
don government would remit the allied
debt IL America would remit hers.

Washington conference successful be

a new building to be constructed es-
pecially for it on the west side of 14th
street between H and l streets 1t was
learned today from reliable sources of
information at the Post Office Depart

By reason of the sale of the corner
of the Southern building occupied by

ment has found it advisable to abrogate
the lease entered into with the Munsey
Trust Company for the quarters.
Establishment of the central branch
post office on 14th street will retain
for the city it's finest branch postal
sta alton, and 1t is likely that the new
location will be equally as popular
as the present site.
1t is understood that a contract al
ready has been entered into with q
local builder for the erection of the
new building, which is to be two
stories and basement. and will house
the central station solely.

The force of carriers. working from
the present location of the central

Evidence that the regulation was
