ERZBERGER DIRECTING
POLICY OF DR.. WIRTH
Notionolists in Violent Attack
Call Him Perjurer.

Special Gable to THE New YORK HERArp

New York Herald Bureau,
Berlin, July 2.
The return of Matthias Erzberger to
German public life has again peen re-
tarded. according to communication
from the Catholic party in the Reich
stag The former Chancellor told
THE NEW YORK HERALD correspondent
month ago that he merely awaited
acquittals by the courts on the charges
made against him and bv h.s party be-
fore again taking an active place in Ger
man politics.
Meanwhile Erzberger's suggestion has
resulted in the appointment of the new
Chancellor. Julius wirth. and friends OF
the present Cabinet chief admit openly
that Erzberger is inspiring Chancellor
Wirth's financial programmes. He is
the most active leader in groups favor
ing negotiations and compromise rather
than excuses and threats in fulfilling
the terms OF the reparations.
This fact partly explains the renewed
violence OF the Hcfferich and National
Isl groups against him. When the court
pronounced the evidence against Herr
Erzberger insufficient, and the Catholic
party had given him its blessing, the
entire reactionary press published edi-
torials accusing him OF eight different
kinds OF perjury, naming witnesses. and
declaring that the acuuittal was merely
whltewashing.
The violence Of this opposition Is d..
viding the Catholic party. The COM
munication In the Reichstag therefore
announces that Erzberger Is regarded az
q bsolved but cxpedicncy has caused him
TO postpone reenterng political life for
tho immediate future

ROSEN DIVERTS ATTACK

Special Cable to THE New YORK HERALD.

New York Herald Bureau,
Berlin. July 2.
The maintenance of the Rhineland oc-
cupation penalties has not made Chan
cellor Wirth's position untenable despite
previous threats of the conservative par
ties that unless DIR. Wirth could induce
the Allies to withdraw the penalties his
Cabinet would have no reason to exist.
DR. Friedrich Rosen, Foreign Minister,
in a speech in the Reichstag denouncing
the sanctions as violation of the Treaty
of Versailles and promising 10 seek their
repeal. diverted the fire of the German
opposition parties from the Cabinet to
the French.
DR.. Rosen's statement that the British
had assured him that the French and
not the British were responsible for the
maintenance of the. penalties famed the
anti French feeling in the Reichstag into
flame again.
Although the Cabinet crisis was
averted this time, members of all parties
told THE New YORK HERALD correspond
ent that the life Of the Wirth Cabinet
would become impossible if the Upper
Silesian decision is unfavorable to Ger
many. The principal reason for DR..
Wirths selection was the hope that his
moderate policy would win leniency from
the Allies From practical inner polit
ical standpoint DR.. Wirth's Cabinet is
ineffective because the Conservative
parties dominate the State Governments
both of Prussia and Bavaria.
1t is commonly believed that should
the Wirth Cabinet fall the parties in
the Reichstag would decide on a new
election. While the Socialists would
welcome this before the Nationalist
wave could sweep the country after an
Upper Sileslan reverse and before the
Socialist party must give its approval
TO the heavy indirect taxation pro-
gramme, the Conservatives would de
plore new elections now.
The Conservatives are not sure of the
popular vote now, hesitate to bring on
the expenses involved in an election and
prefer waiting for the time when a
national issue will make reactionary
success easier
The announcement of the maintenance
of the penalties especially aroused the

patches reaching Toxic from various

Far Eastern Republic in Chita that the
advance of Gen. Won Ungern-Sternberg

WHAT rs OLD AGEl

The act Of the Postmaster General.
Iabolishing the compulsory retirement
of postofice employees at the age OF
81 for women and 6J for men shows
the new attitude toward age II
used to be that men and women were
as rule old In their sixties Recent
experience, particularly in the war,
has given striking proof Of the vlgor
and effectiveness that may be found
in the seventies and eighties.
That employees are incapacitated
for useful service mt the ages hereto
fore specified In the Post0fflce De-
partment is now merely a false ira
dltion. To youth, the sixties are real
ly old. To millions. Of their elders.
the sixties are only the latter part of
vigorous middle age a person Is
not old nowadays until he is too old
to do his usual work. and that age
limit. like the actual death limit. has
been advanced remarkably within o
generation or two.
Medical science has done much
along this line. More sensible living
has done much So has more sensible
thinking. The typical American now
expects as a matter OF course 10 be
active and useful until he is about 10.
and his continued activity with rs
attendant state Of mind tends 10 keep
him up. TO that point or beyond on
tho other Hand. thd retired man seldom
lasts long. In America, az least. ne
