AS USUAL.

Germany again refuses to comply with the demand
of the Allies for immediate cash payment. The latest
specific demand made by the Allies was for the payment
OF one billion marks on March 80. and the completion Of
the payment of the remainder Of twenty billions by May
1. The Germans are making no payment at this time,
contending that they have already paid the full sum of
twenty billions
1t would have been surprising to read that the Ger
mans had actually made a cash payment of any constd-
cradle sum. Instead, they are following their customary
procedure, delaying their reply until the last possible
moment, and sparring for more time.
At this time the course of the Allies is not indicated,
but the only possible step seems to be the, occupation Of
more German territory, and further steps for enforced
collection. Germany. it appears, is entitled to credit for
some payment on account, this being in the form Of
property relinquished. But it is improbable that having
made a definite demand for settlement, and having al
ready executed a military advance in default Of one de-
nranded step in the direction of complete acceptance Of
the terms the Allies viii at this time consent to a further
delay while still other details are being debated.
It has been pretty clearly demonstrated that Ger
many will pay only when and what she is compelled to
pay. The Allies have decided among themselves on
the general course to be pursued. They stand united
on the program. and they have already taken prelimin-
airy steps to carry it into execution by force. They can
not recede from that position without prejudicins their
whole case. This they are unlikely to do. They must
continue as they have started out, and II Germany refuses
to yield she must be subjected to still more vigorous pres
sure.

NAVAL COMPETITION.

The element Of competition runs through the entire
subject of naval construction. Three countries are chiefly
involved, the United States, Great Britain and Japan.
Great Britain has today the largest navy In the world.
1t has usually been conceded that hor need for a navy
is greater than that of any other nation, because her
possessions are scattered all over the globe, and because
the small area and insular position Of the United King
dom, the center of the empire, renders the population al
ways dependent on open sea communication for food and
all the other essentials of existence. There is a decided
contrast between that position and that Of the United
States. This nation occupies 5000, 900 square miles Of
land in a solid block, and while, like any other nation,
it would be inconvenience b" the cutting off Of its sea
communications, it could exist indefinitely and in relative
comfort, with all its ports closed and all its shipping idle
n harbor. The United States stands second in naval
strength. Japan is third. Japan has a population greater
than that OF the British Isles, and Is insular, as they are.
But Japan is responsible for the government Of little out
that it would suffer much less from being separated from
the rest OF the world.
In every computation of naval strength these three
nations are compared. Britain has ceased naval con-
struction, at least for the time being, and II the American
program is completed. our navy will soon be the greatest
in the world, provided Great Britain chooses not to re-
sumo construction. Should she not be willing to take
.ries would be interminable, leaving Japan out Of account
altogether. With American competition specded up ia
pan must build more and more, and there is excellent
prospect of the bankruptcy Of these three nations through
this competition If 1t continues.

A CASE FOR PICTURE MEN.

: unsavory domestic scandal AS a rather logical result
i OF her participation in this affair she killed a man, The
! killing was done under such circumstances as to warrant
4 a jury in refusing to convict her Of murder. She In not
a murderess. but neither is she an injured innocent. 1t
is admitted that the greater share Of responsibility for
her conduct rested on the man, greatly her senior In

does not absolve her. She il neither q heroine nor a

Feared That Demonstration
of Force Will Provoke Re-
SponSe From Hungarian
InSurgent Forces of RejiaS
0DENBURG REFUGEES
SAY CITY IS QUIET
Austrians Have Established
Provisional Government,
But Affairs Awaits Action
by Entente.
tBy The Assoclated press.l

Vienna. Aug. 80 (by the Asso-
ciated Press) Eight thousand
Austrian troops moved into the
Mattesdorf district of Burgenland
today and will police the region
and clear out the foreign element.
Fear was expressed today that this
demonstration in force may pro-
woke response from the Hungar-
ian insurgents under Lieutenant
Hejjas.
Refugees from Odenburg say
that city Is quiet but wholly in the
control OF the insurgents. They
also report Hungarlans in the dis
turbed area have destroyed num-
Der of vineyards belonging to
Germans.
Although the Austrians have
established a provisional govern
ment at Mattesdort for the terri
tory they occupy, the Burgenland
affair apparently awaits action by
the entente for settlement. Count
Anton Sigray turned over COM
mand at Odenburg to the in
surgent leader, Oestenburg, who is
reported to have declared in a
speech that he would expel every
Austrian within three days.
The social democrats are de-
mandlng that the Austrian govern
ment immediately declare its in
tention to hold a plebiscite in
Burgenland.

LABOR READY To
JOIN PARLEY ON
UNEMPLOYMENT!
Gompers Says Such a Con-
ference Is Not to Be Op-
posed When Workers SUI
fer From Unemployment.

Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. 30
Organized labor is ready to consid-
er any invitation from the govern
ment to participate in conference
with a view of solving unemploy-
ment, Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of La
Dor, announced today at the clos
ing session of the federation's ex"
ecutive council,
"Such a conference" he de-
c1ared, lis not to be opposed, when
workers are suffering from unem-
ployment and there is no work In
sight"
Mr.. Gompers said that the coun-
Gil adopted motion instructing
him to notify the council members
If an invitation was received TO
participate. The council will then
act accordingly, he added.
"We have not been invited to
participate" he continued, "but as
labor is the primary factor in the
unemployment situation, it would
be absurd for labor not to be rep
resented"
1t was learned that there was
some opposition 10 representatives
of the federation participating In
such a meeting. One member de-
clared such a conference would
gain nothing for organized labor,
which, he added, is charged with
being responsible for the unem-
ployment, because of its refusal to
submit meekly to wage reduc-
tions."
The council in any event, 1t was
stated, will press its program call
ing on federal and state govern"
ments to furnish work to thou
sands of unemployed by starting
public works and road building.
Mr.. Gompers will take the matter
up personally with President Hard
ing.
Mr.. Gompers announced that ef-
forts would be made within sixty
days to bring about re-ai1tliation
of the Brotherhood Of Maintenance
of War Employees and railway shop
laborers with its membership OF
200, 900.

GOVERNORS OF WESTERN STATES

March, to attempt to bring down
THE cost Of living by a reduction or
railroad rates. will file a complaint
with the interstate commerce COM
mission asking the commission TO
rescind it's order of August rs, 1920,
which granted the railroads an in
crease in fares.
The petition also asks that the
commission, besides re-establish-
ing the rates in effect prior to Aug
ust 26, 1920. compel the railroads
in case they wish an increase in
rates, hereafter to show that they
are honestly and efficiently man
aged.
The governor has asked the gov

join with Colorado in the petition:
Washington, Oregon, California,
Nevada. Idaho, Montana, Utah,
Arizona. Texas, Oklahoma. New
Mexico, Wyoming, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Nebraska and KAN
sas. ~
In his letter to the governors.
the governor of Colorado states the
reasons that compelled him to
authorize the proceedings before
the interstate commerce commits
sion in the following language:
Transportation charges are so
vital factor in the commerce of
the country that It dees not seem
possible for full resumption Of
normal business to occur unless
every important industry is enabled
to distribute, and market upon
transportation charges which the
traffic can pay and still show n
profit. Our position is that re-
duced rates will produce increased
traffic and should consequently
produce increased revenues"
