BERLIN, Oct. 22.-Chancellor Wirth
and his Cabinet, who have been respon-
sible for holding Germany to her treaty
obligations, resigned office tonight.
Their move, decided on at a Cabinet
meeting last night at which it was
hoped some final means of retaining
power could be found, was made Writ
ually inevitable by the decision of the
League Of Nations Council in the Up
per Silesian controversy. The frontier
fixed there was regarded by the Cabinet
as shutting Germany off from all hopes
the rich Silesian coal and metal mines.
No Decision on Successor
Whether DR.. Wirth will reorganize
the ministry and again take the Office
of Premier had not been determined
tonight. 1t has been reported that
he probably would succeed himself
with changed Cabinet, as the Social
lists and Democrats are insistent that
only he can make Germany pay her
war bill and thereby avoid further
invasion of the Ruhr Valley by the
Allies.
BERLIN. Oct. 22.-The Cabinet re-
tired wholly of it's own volition at the
conclusion Of three-hour session in
which the Chancellor and his COL
leagues gave the Entente decision on
Upper Silesia final consideration with
out voting any recommendations con-
corning it.
President Loebe and the coalition
leaders will confer with President
Ebert tomorrow on the problem of the
formation of a new Cabinet. The par
liamentary situation tonight presents
a picture of utter confusion.
May Deal With Poles
The issue on which the parties which
will form the new Cabinet now have
agreed concerns the question as to
opportunity to enter into negotiations
officially with the Poles, leaving for
later adjustment the matter of yielding
to the other conditions of the Entente S
decision.
The Democrats favor the dispatch of
German envoy for the purpose of at
least ascertaining the temper of the
Poles and to canvass the situation in
other respects. The German Peoples
party does not favor the appointment
of a German commissioner The atti-
tude Of the Clericals is still doubtful.
The Cabinet headed by DR.. julius
Wirth as Chancellor was formed May
10 of the present year, succeeding the
Cabinet of Chancellor Konstantin
Fehrenbach, which had resigned on
May 4. The Fehrenbach Ministry re-
signed as Germany was facing an ulti-
matum from the Allies over nonfultil-
ment of reparation terms.
DR.. Wirth's Ministry, organized to
meet this crisis, accepted the Allied
ultimatum terms, and under his Chan
cellorship the actual payment of repa-
rations was begun.
DR.. Wirtn was leader of the Cleri
cal party in South Germany He en-
tered the Berlin Cabinet as Minister of
the Treasury in the Mueller Cabinet
and served as Minister of Finance in
the Fehrenbach Ministry.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Federal
action affecting the railroad strike Sit
uation was taken to-day by two arms
of the government
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion decided the Kansas rate case. re.
ducing rates 16 per cent on grain,
grain products and hay in the Western
half of the United States, and this
order will be followed by other impor.
tant rate reductions, some of them
bcnefiting the East.
The Department of Justice issued in.
structlons for the protection of the
property of the International & Great
Northern Railroad in Texas, where s
trainmen's strike became effective al
noon.
Rail Credit Bill Reported
Another development of the day was
the favorable report by the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee on
the railway credit bill, under which
the government, in settlement with
the roads, will pay them approximately
$500,000,000 in cash.
The commissions decision, which was
in case brought by twenty-five West
ern states and a number OF national
and local farm organizations, did, not
deal directly with the impending strike,
but was considered significant in it's
ductions OF railroad operating expenses
as basis for its rate making activity
80 tar as reduction downward in
rates can be induced" the commission
SAID, "and so far as the reductions in
wages and prices which already have
been made effective can be converted
INTO rate reductions, we are assured
that the full return of prosperity will
be FASTENED for both industry and
labor"
Special Deputies Authorized
In the international railroad de-
velopment. the Department of Justice
took cognizance of the fact thai re-
ceivers representing the United States
Court are in charge of the property
and instructed the Federal marshal at
Houston to employ such special depu-
ties as the court might consider neces-
sary. AT the same time it was in
dicated that no legal steps were for
the moment under consideration touch
ing upon the cali of the five brother
hoods of men in train service for ma
tional strike. All direct dealings with
the railroad unions. 50 far as the gov
ernment is concerned, still remain in
the hands of the Railroad Labor Board
at Chicago.
The rate reduction is the most
sweeping issued by the commission in
several years, and on the commoditi y
named, which constitute a heavy per-
centa"c of railroad traffic throughout
the Western territory, amounts to one
Of he increases allowed in 1920.
These were 35 per cent in the Western
group territory, 25 per cent in the
mountain Pacific group and 33 Is per
cent between divisions. The commits
sion also ordered rates on coarse
grains, including corn. oats and others,
fixed at 10 per cent below the level on
