this government will not allow any
nation to outbuild 1t in aircraft, sub
marines or other auxiliaries IL an
agreement to limit them cannot be
reached.

tion,' its report states that already

craft have begun to put In their ap-
pearance.
The report was Incorporated in the
naval appropriations bill reported

proval Of congress will be asked on
the committees action.

cared and nearly seventy big battle

the new conference under the house
committees plan. These nations are

BERLIN, Oct. IA. - Germany is
already in the grip of winter. The
first snow of the season has fallen
in Thuringia, destroying the bigger
part Of the local potato crop. Re-
ports from other parts Of the coun-
try tell the same story. The coun-
Gil of the federated German states
(reichsrath) has just approved the
following increases in the price of
grain: Rye, from $500 marks per
ton to 10000; wheat, from $500 to
10000; barley, from $500 to 10000,
and oats from $500 to $4,000.
This means that the price of a loaf
Of bread will be 100 marks as COM
pared with about 40 pfennings be-
fore the war The laboring people
from moderate Socialists to radical
Communists blame the present dark
outlook on the governments failure
to curb the speculation in marks to
prevent the further decline Of Ger
man money abroad. The measures
adopted by the reichrath on Thurs
day came too late to do any good,
the newspapers agree. The cold
weather of the last few days has
aroused the grumbling masses to a
pitch of excitement which may be-
come dangerous unless the govern
ment goes farther in trying to ap-
pease the working population.
CLOSE up hotels and restaurants
de luxe and convert them into in
situations serving the people," is the
inscription on a poster appearing on
all the billboards in Berlin. When
the reichstag reconvenes on Tues
day, the first question it will take
up is how to prevent suffering OIL
the part Of working people because
Of the high cost Of food and fuel.
Here and there the ominous word
revolution" is heard, although at
present it can be safely said that
there is no imminent danger of Sc
rious outbreaks of violence provided
the mark does not go down far be-
yond it's present level and prices do
not rise much higher.

NEW YORK BANKERS

| Of FRAMING BUDGET

| NEW YORK. Oct. 14.-Charles G

the national budget. famed for his
Hell and Maria" utterances when

expenses at Washington, smoked
his briar pipe in the gold and red
magnificence Of the Waldorf, AS
toria last night and made char.
acteristic remarks when 800 bankers
and business men gathered to dc
him honor at dinner. a.
The dinner was rendered Mr..
Dawes by the New York city com.
mission of the national budget com
mittee, ar organization which
fought for the adoption Of the
national budget bill. John C. Pratt,
chairman of the national committee,
and Job E. Hedges, receiver Of
the New York street railways, tried
| to compliment Mr.. Dawes on his
work, but he told them, between
puffs on his pipe, to "cut it out. "
Harry Higgs, financial adviser to
the government Of Egypt, also spoke,
but since he did not go into MIR.
Dawes record, he escaped Interrupt,
| tions.
1--WE lost the art Of moderate ex-
| preston" Mr.. Dawes said, and he
went on to tell what he thought
of some congressman who run
like rats when anyone shakes the
name of the American Legion in
| their faces. as on the bonus ques.
! tion."
He said the public was not
aware Of the temper of the cab

DEMOCRATIC Chief
|. PREDICTS GAINS IN
CONGRESS IN 1928

WASHINGTON. Oct. 15.-Upon
the ruins Of public hopes the Demo
cratic party is building successful
campaign for large gains in congress
this year. Cordell Hull, chairman of
the Democratic national committee
declared Saturday.
The Republicans, Judge Hull said
have disappointed everybody. Upon
this disappointment, this ruin of
hope, Mr.. Hull said, the Democrats
will build their victory, by proving
Republican promises either mislead-
ing or altogether spurious. Repub
lican prosperity artificial, uncertain
and temporary" and Republican po-
litical morals lacking in honesty.
Democrats expect splendid gains
everywhere" said Mr.. Hull, "for the
reason that the Republican congress
and administration has seriously
disappointed the expectations of cV-
cry class of persons and of honest
business.
Republican failure to solve any
of the pressing industrial or trans
portation problems, or to affect
strike settlements, or to give prom.
Used tax relief or to restore STABLE
domestic, and foreign trade rela-
tions will not soon be forgotten or
forgiven by the business man, the
farmer and the laborer.
Large Democratic accessions from
the middle tier of states and from
the east are, therefore, strongly in
dicted. 1t is too early to undertake
to give definite figures as to each
state"
Judge Hull said the voters are
picking their own issues and reject.
ing those offered them by profess
sionall politicians. That, he declar.
ed, is why the campaign is so lack
ing in fireworks.
1.-THE voters" he said, "have full
personal knowledge of the terrible
economic and business conditions
through which they have passed un-
der this Republican administration.
The result is the efforts of Repub
lican speakers and publicity agen-
c;es either to divert their attention
from the issues uppermost in their
minds or to inject academic issues
in the hope Of lodging questions
most damaging, will make no sort of
headway.'
He predicted that the G. o. p.
would TRY to stampede some of the
outraged voters back by filling the
entire atmosphere with pyrotechnics
and skyrockets." This effort, he as
serted, will not succeed.
IF Democrats and other gooR
citizens disguised with general Re
publican failures will see that a full
vote is cast, a repetition of the Re-
publican overturn of 1910 in the
house is assured" Chairman Hull
predicted. Special privilege in con-
gress, now rampant, will, undoubt-
edly, be dethrOned"

Lenine Is Sketched by
New York Artist as
Picture Of Health

MOSCOW, Oct. 13.-(By The Asso-
ciated ess.)-Premier Lenine is de-
scribed as picture Of physical vigor
and alertness as he was sketched at
his desk today by Oscar Gesare, New
York artist.
He appeared in splendid spirits,
was particularly active physically,
great interest in his work and SEEM
ingly enjoyed it, the artist said. He
was busy very mountaineering
the telephone, now and then calling
a number himself, summoning Sec
retaries, debating and signing docu-
ments. There are no bells on Pre-.
mier Lenine's telephone, but instead
a tiny incandescent bulb glows to
attract his attention.
The artist is the first American to
talk to Lenine since his illness.
The American artist said that Lee
nine by his energetic manners at
times reminded him Of the physical
alertness of the late President Roose-
welt.

Many Protests Made
On Japan Deporting
Chinese Laborers

PEk1N, Oct. IA. - Protests are
springing up all over the country
against Japan's action in deporting
Chinese laborers on the ground they
are undermining the local wage sys-
tenn by working for less than the
Japanese workers. This applies par
ticularly to Coolies. 1t is signifi-
cant that while Japan finds it advisa-
BILE to take such action, many O fthe
Japanese newspapers continue to as
sail the United States because Cali
fornia found it necessary to curb
the activities of Japanese land own
ers.
In certain provinces attempts have
been made to renew the anti-Japa-
nese boycott on account of the de-.
portation issue. but thus far little
progress has been made. In view of
the declarations made by Japanese
| officials in China that their govern
| ment is seeking to establish the most
friendly relations, the action of
Toxic in ordering Chinese Coolie L.
borers to be sent out of Japan is
considered anomalous and inconsist-
