Wirth Explains His Fall

BERLIN, Oct. 23.-The wrestling of
German soil inhabited by German peo-
pie away from the fatherland by the
League of Nations division of Upper
Silesia made it impossible for the old
Cabinet to carry on, DR.. julius Wirth,
who resigned as Chancellor last night,
wrote to President Ebert in explaining
his reasons for quitting. Under these
new circumstances Germany must still
carry on, he said, bat the retiring
ministry could no longer bear the re-
sponsibility for meeting obligations to
the Allies.
DR.. Wirth resigned on his own init
ative, after conferences with party
leaders which showed him that he
could no longer command majority
in the Reichstag. The indications now
are that the Conservatives will play
an important if not predominant role
III the next ministry.
The prevailing belief is that Ger

to the Prussian annexation of Alsace-
Lorraine. commission will be sent
to negotiate with the Poles on the eco
nomic administration of the territory,
as provided by the leagues decision,
but every move will be made under
protest. No active resistance will be
offered, but when the matter comes up
IN the Reichstag the official phrase
ology will make the decision violation
of the Treaty of Versailles and of the
results of the plebiscite.
Wirth To Be Asked to Stay
All the members of the Reichstag
are in Berlin, and initial caucuses look
ing toward the forming of new min
istry were held. AS has been expected,
the Socialists will call on President
Ebert to request Dr.. Wirth to take the
post of Chancellor again, and it is
probable that the President will make
an effort in this direction. At any rate
DR.. Wirth will be Acting Chancellor
until new Cabinet is formed.
DR.. Wirth's chances of retaining the
head of the government were weakened
by the desertion of the Democrats from
his coalition. This party wants to link
up with the German Peoples party. and
the leaders of the latter are deter
mined to take no part in ministry
permitting DR. Wirth to keep the post
of Minister of Finance in a new Cab
met, as he has held that post in his
own administration in connection with
the Office of Chancellor. The elimina-

Had Rounded Up Suspects
in Murder of Sheriff and
His Assistant i'm Virginia


ORANGE. Va, Oct. 23.--Two men
were killed and seven wounded to-day
- the result of an attempt by a
Sheriff's posse to arrest two negro
noonshiners who were suspected of
having been implicated yesterday in
the murder of Sheriff w. C. Bond and
Town Sergeant Julian F. Boyer.
The two negroes had barricaded
themselves in barn outside the town
limits and. defying arrest, shot all who
approached, holding out for more than
three hours before they were finally
either shot or burned to death in a
fire which supposedly was started by
the sparks of their own guns. The
dead men are Walter Ware and another
ne~~o, whoNis unidentified.
The wounded are all white men,
some of them among the most sprofr1i-
nent citizens of the section. Only one,
Stanley Carter, farmer, is seriouslv
wounded. The others are suffering
from painful gunshot wounds.
The trouble started last night, when
Sheriff Po-d md Sergeant Boyer went
to arrest Ware on charge of distill-
ing liquor.
Driver Summons Posse
The officers left Orange about s
o'clock yer terday. driven by a white
chauffeur. who was instructed to wait
'cr them. At 8 o'clock, when they had
not returned, he became a armed. and
ent into Orange, hoping that they had
turned by foot. When they were not
'ound he formed posse and went
.rk nr1, <T
searching without success the party
turned to Orange to await day, and
with the first Fight went back to the
section in which the negro lived.
After a little hunt they came upon
the bodies Of Bond and B >ver, who
were probably instantly killed by a
load of buckshot. Without knowing
who had done the shooting, the men
returned to Orange and notified the
auth orities, who Immediately swore in
deputies and the search was renewed.
After a short time the men saw a
negro dart from a densely wooded
patch of land and run toward an open
hay barn. Quickly gathering around
the barn, the men demanded that the
negro surrender. When no reply came
they thought he had not concealed HIM
self in the barn and advanced upon it..
Two shots were fired. severely wound
ing Carter and slightly wounding A. N.
Boyd, both citizens, who had been
sworn in as deputies.
The posse then opened fire upon the
barn, and it was kept up for three
hours but because of the Commanding
position of the negroes all who an.
preached within range of their guns
were shot and it was impossible to
rush it.
Negro Throofau. Eo%l.-
Wares father, Walter Ware, an old
negro, was sent for and asked to in
tercede with his son and to promi sc
that if he surrendered he would have
protection and trial by law. The
negro's reply was that il his father
approached any closer he would kill
him.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The first

embassies and legations, was heard to-

VIENNA, Oct. % tBy The Asso-

King of Hungary, entered Budapest
this afternoon, according to report
telephoned here from Prague. This
is not confirmed from other sources.
All wires between Vienna and Hun
gary have been cut.
Earlier dispatches reported that
Charles and his forces had reached
Budaors, seventeen miles from the
Hungarian capital, where sharp
fighting was in progress this after
noon. Admiral Horthy, regent Of
Hungary, was reported to be person.

Charles.
Budapest Hears Cunfire
The forces of Charles were said to
aggregate several battalions. They
arrived at Budaors early tbs morn
ing. The sound of the guns was au-
dible in, Budapest.
At Budaors Charles's advance had
been checked, one of the dispatches
saying that the train that preceded
Charles had reached that place, but
was forced to back out hurriediy upon
show of resistance by the govern

is known beyond doubt that there
has been brisk, and possibly sangui-

A telephone message from Prague
said that Charles had succeeded in
reaching Budapest, while the Vienna

Budapest that some of the troops in
that capital have declared in favor OF

grapple between the reactionary and
the republican forces that probably
will extend beyond the borders.
Though possibly checked, the mon
archists are evidently concentrating
for further attacks, for latest, though
meagre, advices say that the battle
between the monsrchists and govern
ment troops continues, and also that
the behavior of the government forces
is irreproachable.
Government circles hope to be able
to hold out until the arrival of rein
forcements from the provinces, which
are expected tomorrow afternoon.
Insurgent bands from Burgenland
are reported to be marching to the sup
port Of Charles. An Oedenburg dis
patch to the "Tageblatt" gives the re-
port of the resignation of the Bethlen
Cabinet, but this is without confrma-

DUBLIN, Oct. 23.-Michael Collins.
leader OF the Sim Fein army, after
passing the weekend here in confer
ence with Eamon de Valera, president
of "the Irish republic" started back
to London tonight to rejoin his COL
leagues there and continue the peace
negotiations with the British govern
ment tomorrow. Collins carries with
him plans for dispelling the misun-
de1standing that arose in the peace
negotiations last week and threatened
to disrupt them.
Collins talked with De Valera about
the message which De Valera sent
to the Pope and which was regarded by
the British peace delegates as an in
suit to the King. Explaining the dis
astrous effect of that message on the
negotiations, Collins got De valera's
permission to tell the British delegates
that the Irish peace pleEipotentiaries
are not necessarily bound by De
Valera's remarks. Therefore, the
peace delegates will say that although
DE Valera's message repudiated allegi-
ance to the King in the past this does
not bar allegiance in the future if the
peace conference can succeed in ham
mering out an agreement on all other
points at issue.
Collins went over the situation also
with Minister of Home Affairs Stack
and with Minister of Defense Brugha.
Hereafter the London delegates will
try to keep in closer accord with the
home authorities, but Sim Fein lead
crs insist that there has been no
division OF opinion over De Valera's
message.
The conferences of the weekend have
served to strengthen Irish hopes for
peace, but there is still considerable
anxiety over the outlook.
LONDON, Oct. 90 (By The Asso-
ciated Press There was a large gath
ering in Trafalgar Square this after
noon to observe the anniversary of the
death of Terence MacSwiney, Lord
Mayor Of Cork. MacSwiney died in
Brixton Prison while on hunger
strike.
None of the Irish delegates to the
peace conference attended, but William
Roth, M Member of Parliament for Cork,
was among the speakers. Frequent
reference was made by speakers to the
telegram of Eamon de Valera to Pope
Benedict, which was indorsed by the
gathering.
Branches of the Irish Self-Determi-
nation League organized professions
which, carrying banners and headed by
bands, marched from various districts
in the city to Trafalgar Square. Not
withstanding the rain which fell it is
estimated that nearly 10000 persons
took part in the demonstration.

Combing Won't Rid
Hair OF DandruH

The only sure way to get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve it. then you de-
stroy it entirely. To do this, get about
four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all of your dandruff will
be gone and three or four more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, glossy. silky and soft and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and never
fails to do the work.-Adv.
