Special Cable to THE New York HERALD.

New York Herald Bureau.
Berlin. Oct. 1.
The Nationalist party opened a po-
litical debate in the Reichstag with a
bitter personal attack on Chancellor
Wirth. DR.. Hergt. Nationalist leader
accused the Chancellor with making
charges concerning the murder OF
Matthias Erzberger and anti Republi-
can intrigue which he had not proved.
Chancellor Wirth talks friendli-
ness" said DR.. Hergt., "but he himself
threw torch among the people,"
Chancellor Wirth spoke in his own de-
fence and reviewed a long list of Ba-
varian Nationalist intrigues. Philip
Scheidemann. leader OF the Majority
Socialist party, also attacked the Ma
tionalists violently. Chancellor Wirth
will continue his defence and will out
line his political programme tomorrow.
The Socialists showed more inclina-
tion to support him than to Join a new
Coalition Cabinet with the Peoples
Party. 1t Is possible that the Cabinet
crisis and the formation of a new Coali-
tion will be postponed. The Socialist
machine hestitates to join the Industrial
party because the rank and file, notably
the Berlin functionaries, at a meeting
yesterday made violent protest against

URGES CHURCH SERVICES
FOR ARM6STICE DAY
Writers to President Suggest
More Than Brief Prayer.

Special Despatch to THE New yoRK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. C.. Oct. 1.
President Harding is receiving sug-
gestions for the holding of brief church
services throughout the United States on
Armistice Day. Edward X. Summerwell.
a prominent attorney, has written to the
President stating such service would be
much more impressive and effective than
two minute prayer in the turmoil of
business.
The letter probably will receive the
personal attention of the President along
with a number of others written in a
similar vein.
Armistice Day having been declared a
national holiday by the President there
would be opportunity for church service
in every community.

day.
Pleas by Chancellor Wirth and For

which might have delayed ratification
Of the peace treaty with the United
States in the Reichstag. The National

HOW TO CHOOSE A
PLAYER PIANO

Don't buy too cheap a Player
remember that the Player Action must
cost somcthing--and that when you
buy Player for about the cost Of fair
Upright Piano-either the Player Action
or Piano has been slighted-perhaps
both.
Test its tone. 1t should be full,
resonant and free from overtoncs.
Examine its finish. 1t should be
flawless.
See that it pumps neither too easily
nor too stiffly.
Try heavy music roll on it. Does it
move smoothly and evenly over the
tracker-bar or by nervous jerksi
Try to accent individual notes. Is the
response instantaneous! Play soft a,
well as loud. Does the instrument give
immediate response' Then investigate
the standing in the musical world of the
manufacturer.
If your tests are all met sati tisfactorily
and the price is right-buy.
The James & Homstrom LITTLE
PLAYER PIANO" meets all these tests
and in addition fits easily in small
rooms. You ought to try it before
deciding. 1t is on exhibition at
