An entire garment beaded all

DELAY RATE REDUCTIONS
Carriers Ask More Time in Which to
File Tariffs.

Asserting that they are not able to
publish their new and amended tariffs
by that time, the carriers which have
been ordered to lower their rates on
grain. grain products and hay in the
western territory, on December 81
have been granted authority by the
interstate commerce commission to
delay the rate reduction. Notice to
this effect was received by telegram
today by E. H. Hogueland, commerce
counsel of the Topeka Traffic asso-
ciation
The carriers were granted permis-
sion to publish their revised tariffs on
one days notice to the commission,
and expect to put the reduction which
has been ordered by the interstate
commerce commission, into effect
January 1, or very shortly after that
date.
The order of the interstate COM
merce commission provided that one
half of the increase granted on Au-
gust &c, 1920, on grain, grain pro-
ducts and hay should be removed
in cases where the carriers have not
already made equal or greater reduc-
tions voluntarily. Such reductions
have been made in several cases.
The reduced rates will apply only
on shipments originating subseque ent
to the date the new rates become ef-
fective and will not apply prior to the
date the new rates take effect.

BIG NAVY IS BLACK XMAS
Germany This YuIetide Is Vir-
tuaIly Bankrupt.
Little Opportunity for Mora
tOrium in Nations Sock.

Berlin, Dec. 24.-All Germany is
facing a BLACK Christmas" and the
depression among the people is very
deep. Not since war days has the
Christmas season been shrouded in
such gloom.
Germany is virtually bankrupt and
cannot meet her indemnity payments
due in January and February. She
has lost the rich mining and industrial
zone of Upper Silesia. Her only other
economic reserVoir-the Ruhr---:s
threatened by France in reprisal for
nonpayment of indemnify. Hopes of
a foreign loan or foreign credits in
England have been shattered.
The return of Walter Rathenau
from London empty handed has on
vinced the Germans that they may not
expect an indemnity moratorium soon.
1t begins to appear certain that the
allies will put Germany into a re-
ceiVership and appoint joint commits
sion to control all German finances.
Even Premier Lloyd George. who
had to be regarded as Germany's
friend, proved only paper Santa
Claus"
Food is more plentiful but not yet
back to pre-war normal. Money has
deprecated to such an extent that, no
matter how big a mans salary is it
usually costs him all he makes to live.
There is a scarcity of fuel, also a
housing shortage. In Berlin alone
10, 600 families are suffering from the
housing shortage.
There is an atmosphere of nervous
expectancy, altho an attempted upris-
ing by communists appears less likely
now than earlier in the year.

French Demands at Arms Par
ley Cause New Crisis.
Need 10000 Tons of Subs, Ad-
mira1 Bon Declares.

Washington, Dec. 24-France's re-
quest for assubmarine fleet of 10000
tons, the maximum figure set for the
United States and Great Britain, gave
indications today of throwing the ar
mament conference on the horns of
another dilemma more serious than
any that has been encountered.
The French request has not Off
cially been laid before the confer
ence but Admiral De Bon, the French
naval adviser, has given fair warn
ing that this figure is what France
considers necessary to her national
safety and that she will be extremely
loath to accept anything less.
All Behind Closed Doors.
The French program in detail has
be laid before the powers today, for,
undeterred by the proximity of Christ
mas, the conference drove ahead be-
hind the closed doors. The impress
sion prevailed however. that the for
NAL presentation of the French fig
ures will await the ending of lengthy
debate over England's proposal to
abolish submarines entirely. Subma-
| rines will not be abolished. The pow
/ ers other than Great Britain are too
solidly against it but the British
| spokesmen will be allowed to have
/ their full say, however.
! Out of the yards of debate that has
| taken place in the secrecy of commit
} tee rooms it appeared today that the
| powers will settle the submarine ques-
/ ton in substantially the following
manner:
l. Fix the size of the submarine
fleets to be retained by the countries
| represented here.
2. Renew pledges that the rules of
! international warfare will be observed
/ by the powers signatory to the pro-
posed naval treaty
| 8. Possibly adopt new regulations
| governing the manner in which sub
marines are to approach ships.
French Demands Chief Block.
The French demands admittedly
/ form the chief obstacle to be over
come. Having yielded on the capital
ship issue with the plain warning that
a similar concession could not be
made in the matter of auxiliary ships,
! the French are prepared to press their
, demands to the utmost.
Against this ambitious French pro-
! gram the British are prepared to
fight with grim determination. The
British consider 10000 tons of sub
marines far too many for even them
| selves and the United States, as the
two chief naval powers of the world,
let alone for France, a minor naval
i power.
| A revision of Japan's auxiliary craft
rate wilI~be necessary if the demand
| of the French experts is met. Under
\ the terms of the Hughes agreement
Japan was to retain $4,000 IONS OF
submarines, as the third ranking naval
power or $4,000 tons less than the
French are now demanding as the
fourth. Italy. while satisfied with
existing strength. will demand an
! equal rating with France and thus
! the whole auxiliary ship ratio will
/ be thrown out of gear.

TURN 'EM LOOSE
H. n. G.. Reserve Units Are
Being DemObilized.
Orders Affect Troops in Four
Kansas Towns.

National guard reserve units that
were modified when troops were sent
to the southeastern Kansas coal fields,
but which have been held at their
home stations, were being demo-
bilized, it was learned today. The re-
serve units had been taken from the

rehabilitation are located at Atchi-
son, Council Grove. Emporia and
Lawrence. They were called at the
item the five combat units and the
medical and sanitary and Quartermas-
ter's detachment were sent to Pitts
burg following the violent marching
of the HOwat Amazons-
Information Was Withheld.
1t was learned at the governors Of
flee today that the first steps towards
the rehabilitation of the troops that
had not been called into active service
were taken early in the week. How
ever, for military reasons" the infor-
nation was withheld from the press.
No information was given out re-
garding the plans of the state officials
relative to the troops that are in ac-
tive service in the coal fields Indi-
cations are that every possible step
is being taken to get the local peace
officers in Crawford and Cherokee
county to realize their responsibility
for maintaining order and seeing to it
that the laws are enforced. As soon
as it is felt that the local authorities
can handle the situation it is believed
the state troops will be withdrawn
No Disturbances Reported.
Governor Allen said today that no
disturbances of any kind had been re-
ported to him from the coal fields.
He said more than so additional min
ers were at work Friday. He esti-
mated that something like 5000 min
ers We're at work.
Asked if some of these were not in
! Missouri, the governor said he did not
think SO.
