Berlin.-Germany has accepted the

mands of the allied powers and, in SO
doing. agreed to fulfill the terms OF
the treaty of Versailles ito the capac-
ity' of the nation to do so.
DIR. Wirth, the centrist leader. final

cabinet composed of centrists. major
ity socialists and democrats which,
confronted by grave necessity, speed
lily decided that acceptance of the ulti-
matum was the only course In max
ing this announcement to the reich
stag the new chancellor asked for an
immediate decision by that body. In
the voting which followed the govern
ment was sustained.
The allied ultimatum required a
definite reply based on yes or no
The total sum which Germany is call
ed upon to pay is G6,75O 600, 900. Dis
armament must be carried out by Ger
many in accordance with the provi-
sons Of the treaty and the trial Of war
criminals must be put into effect.
Numerous other important terms in
which Germany has been in default
will be enforced.
Non compliance with the allied ulti
matum would have subjected Germany
to occupation by the allies of the Ruhr
valley and whatever other military
and naval measures were deemed ad-
visable
The new cabinet is generally re-
garded as a makeshift, but good
enough to accept the entente ultima
tum and thus avoid a French advance
into the Ruhr.
While the cabinet obtained a COM
Portable majority in the reichstag, it
has the undivided support of only the
majority socialists and clericals.
DR.. Wirth announced the formation
of new cabinet, with himself as
chancellor and foreign minister. The
other members OF the cabinet are:
Gustav Bauer former chancellor),
vice chancellor and minister OF the
treasury: Herr Brauns (centrist), min.
lister of economies; Herr Schiller
(democraD, minister Of justice; Rob.
ert Schmidt (socialist), minister Of
labor; General Groener (social demo-
craft. minister OF posts and tele.

food controller; George Gradneur Una
jority socialist, deputy for Saxony.
minister Of the interior; Herr Gessler
(democrat), minister Of defense: Herr
Silberschmidt majority socialist and
labor leader, minister OF reconstruc-
ton.
DIR. Eduard Davis. who was first SO
lected as minister of the interior, was
and replaced by Herr
Gradneur There was considerable de-
lay in completing the cabinet owing
to difficulty in finding man for the
foreign portfolio, which eventually DR..
Wirth assumed.
The democratic party was not Of
ficially represented in new cabinet in
the first instance, but in response to
a request from the clerical and social
democratic parties General Groener
and Herr Gessler we're permitted to
retain the portfolios they held in the
cabinet. II is understood,
however. that Herr Gessler will act
as minister of defense only tempo
rarily his retention In that office be-
ing due to his knowledge of the Sile-
sian situation.

Odd Ways of Let's.

THE Let's, a1ter naVtHB oUobbSN
L Christianity. preserved very many
of their old faiths. Some OF them re-
main until now. The Let's attached a
great importance to the days OF the
week, and not every day was lucky
for them. Monday, was always con-
sidered to be the most unhappy day,
and nothing should be begun on that
day. On the contrary, Friday was
very good day. and everything that
was begun Friday lad good success.
II they had very serious work they
did it only Fridays. without using the
other days for it.
The same attention they paid to
different birds. to the manner of their
running and crying. especially to the
crying, which announced to them for
tune or misfortune in the future. The
raven signiaed to them war or the
death of a good friend or some other
grief The crying of the owl was
sign that a fire would break out or
some other frightful thing would hap
pen. But the principal teller of the
future was the cuckoo. AS many
times as any one heard it crying. so
many years longer he would live.
That is why everybody was very at
tentive to it.
But without those means there
were also others with which the Let's
tried to guess the future. The most
famous of them was the meeting of
hare or an old woman. both OF which
signified misfortune; and the travellers
returned home when the hare ran
across the road or they met an old
woman.
The ancient Let's had various
charms against different sicknesses
and needs. A wonderful power Of
bones Of a deceased person or dead
animal. When they wished to avert
the sickness Of the animals they hid
under the cribs in their stables heads
of horses and other bones. This
would frighten away the. Lietuvens.
the ghost of the stables, which chased
the horses in the night.
The Let's believed also that men
can be transformed into wolves and
go around frightening everybody. But
those men often for a while take
again their former appearance, and
then it is possible for them to trans
NIT their quality to others. They do
it while handing other men a drink.
Because Of this, it was considered
dangerous sometimes to take drink
from an unknown person.
The ancient Let's used also to bring
food to their deceased, to prevent
them from doing any harm to the
living. It was done usually in the
autumn season.
All those beliefs were related by q
pastor who lived in the seventeenth
century. He considered them to have
remained from the time Of paganism.

LUMBERMAN MAKES BIG
STRIKE IN OIL; NOW
OWNS BIG 'GUSHER'

MFXIA Texas, Nov S.-John Henry
Kirby, of Houston, who represented
Texas at President Harding's unem-
ployment conference, isn't out of job
himself In fact, he has so many that
one wonders how he swings them all.
Just now the big job on Kirby's
hands is finding a place to put the IL
quld wealth of what oil men say is the
biggest gusher of Texan history. And
thereby hangs a tale.
For some months oil men have been
prospecting around this little town.
(By the way, call it Muh-hee-a.) Am
ong them were representatives of the
Kirby Petroleum Company. A lot of
business men shook their heads.
Isn't it a shame that John Kirby. aft
er an honorable career as millionaire
lumberman, head of the National
Lumbermen's Association and the
Southern Tariff Association, should
dabble in the oil game and take the
dollars of widows and orphans?"
But those who knew Kirby and the
Midas touch that seemed to affect
long chance" he took, or that others
thought he took, kept silent.
Then on September q, the Bass
No. 1 of the Kirby Company came in,
shot skyhigh over the derrick and
shOwered the country for acres around
with high grade oil. OF course. then
came the chorus of Il told you sos"
Just how much oil the Kirby well
