Paris. Dec. "a.
Hello. sergeant; send me two
squads of police to handle riot
Such a message by wireless tele-
phone is likely to be heard in the fu-
ture by police stations as a result
of the decision by M. Leullier. Prefect
of Paris Police, to utilize the most
modern methods in his vigorous war
on criminals. M. Leullier has just
announced that he intends to have
special automobile patrols continu-
ally abroad in this city, day and night,
and, as the Paris telephone system is
notoriously inefficient. he has decided
to get quick results otherwise. All the
police automobiles on patrol duty will
be equipped with wireless telephone
apparatus. with special wave lengths.
which will enable them to keep IN con-
slant communication with police
headquarters.
Experiments have been carried out
that prove the scheme feasible, and as
the cost is extremely low the possibility
Is fopeseen of greatly reducing the
number OF policemen on patrol duty
here, leaving the entire guardianship of
the French capital to few hundred
automobiles carrying only driver and
wireless telephone operator. who win
call reserves from the central station
whenever they are required.
Naturally NJ. Leulliers decision has
given rise to hilarity among the doubt
ing Thomases in the Paris newspa per
offices. but the Prefect himself is con-
fident. Those persons who best know
his qualities of perseverance as shown
during the war know there is something
more than dreams in his scheme. De-
spite the objections of the generals conf
nlanding he succeeded in reaching the
front lines and distributed cigarettes 20
the troops outside Ypres.
NJ. Leullier has already succeeded in
improving traffic conditions in such
congested centers as the Opera and the
railroad stations and outside the popu-
lar theaters by instituting one way reg
ulations. He is now working on a
scheme for utilizing police airplanes.
not only to prevent ambitious military
and civilian pilots from flying low over
this city. but also to study the Paris
traffic problem from overhead. Three
airplanes will be added to the police
equipment here next month. They will
he piloted by one time army aviators,
who will patrol overhead throughout
the day and take photographs of con-
gested traffic areas in the hope Of OBJ
tanning now suggestions.
II the new ideas prove az successful
as NJ. Leuilier's antelope campaign
which was described in THE NEW YoRk
HERALD last week, Paris bids fair to
be the worlds best organized capital.
The latest police reports from Mont
martre and other cocaine and morphine
infested areas here show that dope
takers. as we'll as sellers. are fleeing
toward Belgium, much to the dismay
OF the proprietors of the night joy pal

ment Of a monarchy and the dissolu-
ton of the empire. In 1926, after the
chaos has somewhat subsided, there
will rise German Cromwell, a Junior
Napoleon, from the ranks of the lib
erals who will reunite the German
nation in 1927. which will end with a
German revolution and the establish
ment OF a monarchy patterned after
that OF Great Britain. which will be
a German federation. In 1923, he says,
a great Chinese revolution will begin.
DIR. Kemerich's prophecy is received
in scientific circles with interest but
his theory is criticized as is the SINH
lar theory of even greater historians
like Mewes. Stromer and Spengler.
The burden Of this criticism is that
while the theory happens to fit the
past this Is no guaranty that 1t will
fit the future equally well. The

assert is still too limited to make clear

London. Dec. "a.
With Ireland, disarmament and rep
arations much in the mind OF the
British public, the chief interest Of
the average citizen here is directed
toward the proposed f2o0,0000o0 Gov
ernment expenditure reduction. which
Is the brightest Christmas promise for
Englishmen. The report of the econo-
my committee headed by Sir Eric
Geddes was placed in the hands of
the Ministers this week. They have
taken it to study the report during
of the Prime Minister'S reading time
during his rest in the south Of France
preparatory to the meeting of the
Allied Supreme Council at Cannes.
The swinging of the economy AK at
this critical period promises to be one of
the greatest achievements of Lloyd
Georges career. Certainly 1t Is nearer
the hearts Of his countrymen than any
will send his prestige higher than did the
Irish settlement. 1t is already assured
that the AK will chip something off the
income tax--perhaps something very
substantial-which the people, high and
low, have been crying for since the war.
because Great Britain's tax OF six shil-
lings in the pound sterling has worked
Oppressive hardships in al walks of life.
Mindful of appeals which he has re-
ceived from all quarters here, few
months ago Lloyd George appointed Sir
Eric Geddes to slice the budget. giving
him much the same general power and
instructions as President Harding gave
Mr. Dawes. While the findings OF the
committee headed by Sir Eric have not
yet been published, It has been indicated
that the result here will be much tho
same as in the United States. II the
scheme can be carried through. 1t will
affect taxation in all branches. greatly
relieving the burden which has threat
ened to break even the stolld British
spirit. No country to-day is taxed so
heavily as Is Great Rritain. and prob
ably no country would so quietly tolerate
II, but nevertheless the high tax rate
here Is slowly dsorganizing business and
society and greatly impeding the prog
ress of development.
The Geddes report is an elaborate
document of more than hundred pages,
divided into four sections, the first three
dealing with various recommendations
after arduous research work by ex-
tensive committees. The fourth section
contains a general survey Of the economic
situation, and says that a 100000. 900
reduction is possible II the Cabinet is
prepared to make necessary alterations
In it's policy. The report shows how II
can be done.
The next big task OF the Cabinet will
be in graphing with this national fiuan-
cial problem, and Lloyd George is plan
ming to throw all his force into it as soon
as the Supreme Council rises after its
meeting early next month.

The gloom that for three years-not

champagne districts was somewhat
raised this week by the hope of lighter
wines and beers being admitted to the
United States following the proposal
made at Washington, but growers real
ize that IL will be long time before
the cheerful, bubbiing liquid will be

AS a result they have decided that the

ceraed. Because OF this. when Anleri-
