GERMAN OFFICIALS
CLING TO ROYALTY
Old Regime Still in Minds and
Few Would Stand Acid
Republic Test.

BERLIN. Oct. 20. - The third year Of
the German Republic has wrought no
change OF heart among the irreconcilabls
monarchists whose argument that 'the
old times were better Is apt to appeal
to the people OF a large section OF the
community who are suffering from the
attenuated purchasing power OF the
mark.
Some agitation appears in the ultra
Republican press in favor Of banlshing
all Hohenzollerns from German soil for
ever. as France did after 1870 with her
royal house. In order to consolidate the
Republic.
Emblems of the old imperial and royal
regime are still surprisingly plentiful,
which moves Vor1caerts 10 bitter COM
plaint against the authorities who toler-
ate them. The Social Democratic party
organ declares that the higher ranks OF
officialdom are still honeycombed with
reaction.
In many government departments of
our Republic" the paper says. pictures
or busts OF the Hohenzollerns, especially
of the former Kaiser, are st.ll In evil
colors and wound with Grape, and the
stationery OF some of these public Of
fices. printed this year, still bears the
imprint imperial or royal
All these officials VorUaerts goes

the republic. but those of them who
would survive the acid test would be
alarmingly few"
The paper also points out that at the
celebration of the anniversary of the
constitution no republican flags were
flown from the majority Of public build
ings- In other papers correspondents
complain that none but the old regime
colors were procurabIe anywhere.
Many people imagine that the rnon-
archy is coming back just because they
see some prince or other on horseback"
Chancellor Wirth remarked In speech.

LOAN REFUNDINC BILL
NOT TO CANCEL DEBT
No Exchange of Obligations
Contemplated.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 20.--The Ways and
Means Comittee. in a report to the House
to-day on the foreign loan refunding
bill. declared there was no basis for any
belief that authority was sought by the
Secretary of the Treasury either to ex-
change the war obligations of one coun-
try for those OF another or to cancel any
part of the money owed the United
States by the allied nations
While no such authority was sought.
the report added that specific pro-
vision was put into the bill as follows:
That this act shall not be construed
to authorize the exchange of bonds or
othe- obligations of any foreign govern
ment for those OF any other foreign gov
ernment or cancellation of any part OF
such indebtedness except through pay
ment thereof"
The measure will be taken up by the
House tomorrow.

FIGHT BOSTON PLEA
IN LEYIATHAN WORK
Il0boken Chamber, Cooperat-
ing With New York Bodies,
Wants Local Contracts.

The Hoboken Chamber OF Commerce
has protested against the appeal of
Mayor Peters Of Boston to the Navy
Department and the Shipping Board to
give special consideration TO the port Of
Boston in awarding the contract for re-
conditioning the great liner Leviathan
on the ground that 1t will give work to
hundreds OF the unemployed and ma
terially help business men In the Boston
section. The Hoboken Chamber of Com
merce announces that it is cooperating
with the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association OF New York, the New York
Chamber of Commerce, most of the
chambers OF commerce of New Jersey
and other organizations. several of
which already have petitoned Washing
ton on the subject.
A. w. Coffin, manager Of the Hoboken
Chamber of Commerce. gave out a state
ment yesterday in which he says that
the port of New York, and particularly
the HoboSen section of II, has been
harder hit than any other part Of the
country. Until the United States en-
tered the war the HoboSen pier property
paid to the city about s2S0.000 in taxes
annually. When the Government took
over the piers of the two German steam
ship companies the payment of taxes
stopped. AS result the tax rate has
jumped from s23 per $1,000 to $42 and
may jump to $50 next year."
The space taken by the Leviathan.
Mr.. Coffin says, in the long period she
has been laid up, has rendered one Of
the most valuable piers In the country
practically useless for docking, and this
hos ha sNf n
Of workers. The port of New York, Mr..
Coffin declares, Is not appealing for
preferential treatment, but urges that
the contract for the work. involving an
expenditure of probably Sl0.000,000 be
awarded on a strictly competitive basis.

THE BERGER RETRIAL

The United States supreme court.
in sending back for retrial the case
of Victor L. Berger, expresses no
opinion on the merit Of the case. That
question did not come before it. An
other point more likely, perhaps, to
escape notice is that the supreme court
expresses no opinion that Mr.. Berger
did not have a fair trial in the dis
trict court at Chicago or that Judge
Lands was prejudiced and therefore
Incapable of conducting the case i'm
partially. On none Of these points
did the court pass. All its decision
says is that because Of the affidavit Of
prejudice, Judge Lands should have
retired from the case. And even on
this there are three dissenting opin-
ions among the nine justices.
Meanwhile there is the interesting
contrast presented between the con-
slant attacks on the courts by the
paper with which Mr.. Berger is as
ISOLATED and the extreme fairness Of
the chiefest of those courts which
grants him retrial, declaring:
f1This courts solicitude is that tri-
bunals Of the country shall not only
be impartial, but shall give assurance
that they are impartial. "-Milwau-

STREETS Or
SPEEDVAyS?

The annual automobile show in New
York has been held on greater scale
than ever before, with almost stag
gering reminders of the immensely of
the business interests represented and
of the extent TO which motor vehicles
have become necessity of our civil
ization. AT the same time came the
grim reminder that in New York alone
City and State, more than LOO per-
sons were killed in automobile "acci-
dents" during the last year. Such
record is utterly mex
cusable. Now and then unavoidable
accidents are bound to happen. But
the majority of these casualties are
more accurately to be defined as man
drivers ARA gned in the New York
City Traffic Court during the year,
more than one-fourth were charged
with driving on the wrong side of the
road; while many were arraigned for
driving without lights, for reckless
driving, and for drunkenness. Now all
these things are violations of the law,
and they are all done consciously and
intentionally. That is to say, every
man found guilty of one of these of
lenses is convicted of wantonly break
ing the law. Now, if a man, in com
hitting one crime, also commits an
other and graver crime, he is held to
be guilty of the latter and deserving
Of punishment for it as we'll as the
former. The logic of it is, then, that
if a motorist in over-speeding runs
down and kills somebody, he is gull
ty of manslaughter, while he was in
tentionally committing another crime
over-speeding. A strict application of
that principle would, we are inclined
90 think, have q gratefully depressing
effect upon the statistics of automobile
accidents" The streets are not
speedways. It is atrocious invasion
