PRUSSIAN MINISTER OF HOME
AFFAInS THINKS GERMANY
SHOULD DO ALL POSSIBLE TO
MEET DEMANDS

London, Feb. 3.-Herr Severing, the
Prussian minister Of home affairs, de-
clared in q speech at meeting of
majority socialists, that Germany
should not decline all the allied repa-
rations demands in an angry fit.

that Germany was doing what sne
could TO satisfy reparation require

the demands meant the economic

BRAND Reports to Chamber
| Paris. Feb. 3.-Prernier BRAND was
prepared to go before the chamber
OF deputies today and ask that body
TO approve what he-had accomplished
during the meeting Of the supreme al

dition he was planning to request au-
thority TO deal with any tendencies on
the part OF Germany TO evade full
fillment OF the allied demands.
A declaration to this effect, drafted
by members of the cabinet last night
was submitted to a full cabinet meet
ing this morning for final approval
1t was expected that the appearance
Of Premier BRAND in the chamber ant
his report on the meeting OF th'
conference would be signal for debate
or the measure and the French for

ties, including Andre Tardieu, NJ
Moutet, and Marcel Cachin, socialis
leaders had announced they woul'
question the premier and a score NOR

In political circles little doub

Several of the troops have already

Oklahoma. City, Feb. 3.-There must
be a powerful force back Of the chiro

that profession. So much could bo
deduced from the undertaking adher-

the house OF representatives yesterday
when the measure was considered in

The senate passed the chiro bill,
but amended the original draft: some
compromises were made. The house
refused TO compromise in the slightest
detail. Possibly 80 amendments were
proposed yesterday. Every one was
voted down. oratory, ridicule, argu-
ment. even charges OF undue influ-
ence could not move the friends OF the
bill. They held the fort through II
all, and they were a majority of the
house. AS a result the chiro bill, Just
as it came from the senate. was rec
commended do pass" by the commit
tee of the whole.
Republican and democratic leaders
tried to prevent the recommendation
that the bill pass. Speaker Gcorg,
Schwabe took the floor to urge post.
ponement OF this action. But the ad.
herents Of the bill had the bit In thclI
teeth. and would not be baked.
There are two theories TO explain
the way the chiro bill was rammet

GENERALS TO STAY,
DESPITE SENATORS
Cronkhite, Read and Muir
Keep Old Places Under
DEPARTMENTS Order.

The failure of the Senate to confirm
the nominations of Army officers to
the grade of general officers has de-
veloped q peculiar situation. In the
Sd Corps Area, at Fort Howard, Md,
Gen. Cronkhite, the commanding gen.
eraI reverted to the grade of briga-
dicr general March and became ju-
nior to Brig. Gen. Harry F. Hodges,
who is commanding the Sd Coast Ar
tillery dis strict at Baltimore. In the
5th Corps Area Gen. Read, the COM
manding general. reverted to the
grade of brigadier general and there
by became Junior to Brig. Gen. Samuel
d. Sturgis, commanding Camp Sheri-
dan. Ohio. In the 4th Division, Gen.
Muir. the division commander, revert
ed to the grade of brigadier general
and thereby became junior to Brig.
Gen. r. NJ Blatchford, who is COM
manding brigade of that division.
Under the authority of the 18th ar
ticle of war. the President may as
sign the command of corps areas and
divisions without regard to seniority
of rank in the same grade. Under
this authority the War Department
has issued orders directing that Gen.
Cronkhite remain in command of the
Sd oCrps Area; that Gen. Read re-
main in command of the 5th Corps
Area. and that Gee. Muir remain in
command of the 4th Division.
The chiefs of infantry, cavalry and
field artillery reverted to the rank OF
colonel on account of the failure to
confirm them as major generals. and
the War Department has issued the
necessary orders assigning Col. Farms
worth. acting chief of infantry; Col
Holbrook. acting chief of cavalry. and
Col. Snow. acting chief of field artil-
lerry. All the other officers who
failed of confirmation and who re-
verted to their former rank were in
positions where they could continue
on their present duties without spe-
cial orders being issued in their cases.
