TO CRISIS
Chancellor Wirth and Cabinet
May Be Forced Out.
To Hold Power Must Make De-
cisiOn ''Left or Right"

Berlin. Oct 10.--A fateful week for
the Wirth cabinet opened today. The
ministry must decide without much
further delay whether to take within
the official fold the German Peoples
party. representing the industrial and
financial backbone of the nation, or,
instead make the -talked-of
swing leftward admitting the indie
pendent Socialists. Admission of the
Independent Socialists would pave the
way for a new specialization program
with radical taxation measures.
After dexterously steering a middle
course between these two antipodal
parties, which provide the balance of
Germany's political power, the gov
eminent is today confronted with the
imperative necessity of embracing
either one or the other.
The motive power relentlessly fore
ing Chancellor Wirth towards
prompt and clear-cut decision, in the
exchange situation which cannot con-
tinue at the present rate without
bringing a crash which might compel
Germany to throw up her hands as
q bankrupt and petition the victorious
allies for receiverShip.

WHEAT CROP MARKETED
Sixty-Six Per Cent Has Passed Into
Trade Channels, Says Report.

Unusually good in all the eastern
third and much of the western third
of the state, the 1921 Kansas corn
crop of 124,OS9.OOO bushels is ready
for the crib, according to the monthly
report of Edward C. Paxton, field
statistician of the United States bu-
reau of crop estimates. The average
yield is estimated at 25.2 bushels per
acre.
sixty-six per cent of the Kansas
wheat crop has passed into trade
channels by October 1, according to
estimates, being the heaviest early
movement of wheat in many years
Need for cash to liquidate banking
obligations and pay up harvesting and
threshing costs is given as the prin-
cipal reason for the early movement
Preliminary estimates on the oats
crop are placed at 47,214,0 600 bushels,
or 21.5 bushels per acre. Last years
yield was 30.7 bushels per acre and the
ten-year average is 26.2.
The barley yield is estimated al
.16,000,000 bushels as compared with
$1,000 900 bushels last year, and aver
ages 25.4 bushels to the acre. Kafir
and milo is rated at IS per cent of
normal, with a prospective grain yield
of 211 bushels per acre.

feature OF today's market and the close
was within a fraction of the high points
The semi panicky feeling which was prev
alent late last week was less noticea HE
helped by reassuring advices from the east
regarding the foreign situation The
strength in sterling exchange had a bolster
vance is due primarily to the fact that
england has not been buying grains in
this country for some time hence the
smaller demand from that country for
American dollars The winnipeg market
was relatively strong due to a fair demand
from export interests and a moderate let
up IN country. pressure 1t is said Canad-
ian ian farmers in many cases are shipping
the wheat in and storing for higher prices
indications last week were that the Argen-
tine demand that comes to North America
is more than likely to be satisfied nv fhe
huge Canadian surplus. Under these CON

a sedy iDerai seller, 1t is hard to see the
1O1ndat1on or bull market at this time.
CORN-What little strength there was
IN this market today came early in the
session and was followed by pronounced
wea kness, which carried prices to new low
levels on the mrop. The depressing factor
was the poor demand for large receipts
basis. The increase of over three milan
bushels in the visible supply was some

all probability continue to drug to lower
levels until there is a marked LEFT nm in
country selling.
OATS-Oats received good support on
the decline and closed with a fairly strong
tone. Receipts were estimated at 100 cars
ana tine cash market was without import-
ant change. The visible supply again
showed a large increase considering the
adequate cash demand to impart strength
to this market is utterly lacking.

MOTTER TO OFFICE IN WICHITA
New Internal Revenue Collector Will
Not Move to Topeka.

There is not a chance that the Of
fees of internal revenue collector will
be moved to Topeka from Wichita"
This was the statement made today
by H. H. Motter, who will take over
the offices the first of November as
the new internal revenue collector.
Motter explained that a new build
ing was erected at Wichita especially
to house this governmental depart
ment and was leased for ten years by
W. H. L. Pepperell, which would pre-
vent moving the offices to Topeka.
Also, he said there are a large num-
Der of civil service employees who will
remain under him who have their
homes in Wichita, and he further add
ed that he thought the best way to
keep the office out of politics was to
keep it away from Topeka.
Motter said he was getting ready TO
move to Wichita and he will probably
resign as state oil inspector within
short time. Hugh Duff. treasurer of
the Republican state central commit
tee and a candidate to succeed Motter
as chairman of the state committee.

whether or not he was an active can

Germans Refuse to Display
Emblem of Republic.
Banner of Old Empire Shown
Everywhere in Nation.
MERCHANT MARINE IS EXCUSE
Shipping Interests Declare New
Flag Is Unknown.
Communists Display Their
Emblem without Protest.

Berlin, Oct. 10.-The black, red and
gold flag of the German republic is
less in evidence than any other of the
dozen or more official emblems which
wave from houses of every town and
city of the country. The most pop
ular banner is the black, white and
red of the former empire.
In some provinces and in a num-
Der of towns the republican flag has
never been flown. is not recognized,
and cannot be purchased.
Red Flag is Prominent.
Even in Berlin, seat of the govern
ment, the flying standards of the en-
pire outnumber those of the republic,
which appear generally to be restrict
Cd to necessary official use or to pop
ular demonstrations in favor of the
new regime.
The red flag of the communists
usually flies side by side with the re-
publican colors during any popular
parades or manifestations.
In some quarters this. situation has
caused agitation against monarchial
propagandists and here and there has
resulted in fights between the police
and adherents of the monarchy or be-
tween monarchists and republicans,
but or the whole it has passed IN
noticed.
The only definite effort to prevent
the use of the flag of the republic has
come from the mercantile interests,
which are strenuously seeking au-
thority to retain their old colors-
the flag of the empire with the out
line of an iron cross in the upper right
hand corner. It is argued this flag
was known in nearly every port of the
world before the war and that its
abandonment would handicap German
shipping, which is seeking with all
available means to regain its pre-war
prestige.
Referendum May Decide.
- The government has indicated that
a referendum may soon be held to
permit the people generally to decide
whether the demand of the mercantile
interests should be granted.
Each German state holds proudly
to its old colors-the black-white of
Prussia, the blue-white of Bavaria,
the green-white of Saxony. and, among
the German residents, the yellow
white of Upper Silesia. East Prussia
flies the flag of the empire, and de-
clares-it will have no other.
Supporters of the republic profess
confidence that the great majority of
the people would willingly support the
republic in an emergency, notwith-
standing the widespread attachment
to other flags.
