The report says that only one out

nad incomes of $4,000 or more, and
that this one per cent had Ii per cent
Of the national income. Five per cent.
representing incomes above $1,000,
nad 26 per cent of the total. Ten per
cent, including income above $1,000,
nad nearly 35 per cent of the total !;
the most prosperous 20 per cent, in
cluding income above 81, $50, had about
Il per cent. Eighty per cent of the
income receivers had incomes below
s1,75O, receiving about SO per cent of
the total income.
Shares of Labor and Capital.
In most of the years since 1912; the
bureau finds that in the principal Or
ganized Industries, wages and salaries
were about 20 per cent of the total in
come; while capital (ncluding man.
agement) received about 30 per cent,
out of which were paid rent, interest
and profits; but these proportions va
ried materially with relative prosper
tty and depression. In 1916, for ex-
ample, the share of capital increased
to about 35 per cent, with 65 per cent
to labor, while in 1919 capitals share
fell to about % per cent, while labor
got about 7S. Of the total payments
to employees in the highly organized
industries, about 81 per cent goes to
the manual workers and clerical staffs,
while per cent goes to officials.
Share Of the Farmer.
The farmers, who during the past
decade have made up about 16 per
cent of the total of gainfully employed,
had from IL to 13 per cent Of the ma
tional income in the years between
1910 and 1916 inclusive; since 1917
they have been receiving 16 to II per
cent, or a somewhat higher proper
ton, as the following figures from the
report show:

Trouble in Many Quarters

London.-The chancellories of the
continent are gravely perturbed at the
attempted Hapsburg restoration, and
the first symptoms of war fever are
apparent.
Lord Curzon's department got word
that Karl has arrived at Budapest.
1t Is commonly believed that Eng
land is on the verge of resumption of
war with Ireland Germany is plunged
into great political crisis because of
the resignation of the Wirth cabinet.
In France Communism is raising its
head. In Portugal cabinet members
have been assassinated by reactiona-
ries. Bulgarian War Minister Dimi-
troff was shot dead.
In Spain the throne of King Alfonso
is tottering, while his army attempts
to retrieve the Moroccan disaster.
Italy may well be convulsed as q
result of the subterranean support
alleged to have been given by her for
eign minister to the return of Emperor
Karl to Budapest.
Reports credit JugO-Slavia, Czecho'
SIovakia and Rumania with making
preparations to expel Karl.
The war alarms extend even beyond
Europe. London learned that an ugly
situation has arisen in the Far East
due to China sending note to Japan
which is tantamount to an ultimatum
regarding Shantung. The terms OF
Chiua's last reply to Japan include:
The Japanese claims which 1t is de
sired to negotiate arc ribhly objection,
able and never have been recognized
1t is only proper that the entire Japa'
nese army should now be Immediately
evacuated.

TO END AMERICAS
WATCH ON Rhine
Withdrawal of 300 From Cob
lem. to Begin by Armistice Day
and to Proceed Gradually.

Observation-Disclosures "Watch on
the Rhine" is to end. 1t was announced
at the White House that, beginning
almost at once, cur army of occupation
is by degrees to be withdrawn from
Germany. Evacuation will be by slow
stages and governed principally by the
number of returning transport avail
able for the purpose. 1t is planned to
take away the first troops from the
Coblenz bridgehead within the next
two weeks. That means that by Arm
istice Day, the third anniversary of the
cessation of hostilities with Germany,
the process of withdrawing the United
States force of $4,000 men and 700
officers will formally have set in.
1t probably will be a considerable
period before the Stars and Stripes are
finally hauled down from Castle Ehren-
breitstein. Although the administra-
ton definitely has decided to with
draw the American Army, there is ap-
parently a feeling that at least the
skeleton of United States force
should be left at the Rhine bridgeheal
for some time to come.
The French, in particular, have In
sisted on the invaluable "moral in
f1uence" of the American flags pres
ence there for the longest possible pc
riod That desire, voiced with elo-
quence and fervor by Mr.. Viviani when
in Washington last spring, has become
an even more passionate one since the
conclusion of Il separate peace.
The French say there would be vfsi.
Bile evidence that the United States
had not deserted" its war comrades
if even a battalion of doughboys re-
mained on the Rhine, shoulder to
shoulder with the troops Of France,
Great Britain and Belgium, who are
there to enforce German respect for
her peace treaty obligations.
President Harding's assent to the
gradual withdrawal of American troops
was conceived in belief that the Ger
man people during their period of res
toration should not be unduly burdened
by the cost of maintenance.
