Bryan's Prediction
 Fails To Perturb
 The Administration
Republicans Believe Great Commoner Will Attempt To Gain Seat In United States Senate.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Wi1iam Jen- nings Bryan's Solemn prediction that the Republican control of Congress is to be overthrown next fall and demo- cracy returned to power, did not seri- ously perturb administration leaders today.
 The Bryan predictions, however, created a wide stir in congress be- cause it Is there that the battle for control of the administration next year will be fought out.
 Almost without exception, Repub- ncan spokesmen attributed the com moner's prediction as the opening gun Trammell as United States Senator from Florida. The three reasons Bryan gave for probable Republican defeat-The Newberry Case, Taxes and Agricultural DiScontent-wered de- clared to be fallacious and based on reinstatement, misrepresentation and ignorance of Republican accomplish ments."
 Senator James E. Watson, of In diana, who has succeeded Penrose as the leader of the "Old Guard" element of the Senate, answered Bryan to- day:
 Every campaign in which Colonel Bryan was a presidential candidate he predicted Democratic victory and his predictions were always couched in the most effusive terms,'' he said. "The probabilities are that Col. Bryan has never read the new revenue law enact ed by the Republican majority of con- gress. Had he done so he would have known that instead of the rich being fndisputable that they were given such slight relief that they are criticising the Republican party because of the tax legislation enacted

TWO ECONOMIC GERMAN LEADERS
 IN BITTER FIGHT

Berlin, Jan. 19-The long and btt- ter struggle between the two intel lectua1 economic giants of Germany Hugo Shines and Walter Rathenau came to head in the reparations debate of the Reichstag Foreign Re lattons committee when they clashed with violent battle of words, 1t was learned today. The clash occurred in the presence of the most prominent political leaders of the country and the close partisans of both men
 Herr Shines evidently got the worst or the debate. The discussions cen tered about the future of German industry and the policy the Germans will pursue at the Genoa Economic conference.
 Herr Shines declared that Dr. Rathenau's policy of making tremen- dous purchases of raw materials would bring Germany no relief be- cause this would affect German ex- change rates. It would be equivalent he said, to purchasing stocks of goods in foreign countries without counter values owing into Germany
 pr. Rathenau warmly defended his policy in a speech and refuted the allegations of Herr Shines The speech was said to have been warmly received, impressing even the reac- tionarfee.

Chinese Determined
 To Force Issue On
 Open Door Doctrine
By GEORGE R, HOLMES.

Washington, Jan. 19-Temporartly defeated in their efforts to compel the Washington conference to consider the validity of the famous 21 demands but grtmly determined to force the issue again at the first opportunity the Chinese delegates were laying plans today to keep the powers Tn Washington until they get flat yes or mo- to their representations.
 A substitute resolution for article Of the open door resolution, was being drafted today for presentation to the conference at the first oppor- tunity. It will provide an avenue for the conference to approach the 21 demands and if it fails again. the Chinese will be forced back on their last resort-the item in the Agenda, which calls for consideration of eX- tsting commitments.
 There was resentment in Chinese quarters today over the fact that the British had aided Japan in killing ar ticle of the open door resolution Sir Auckland Geddes, the British ambassador, was the author of the sec ton, but it was withdrawn by the British delegation on a motion by Sir Robert Borden of Canada
 "As a matter of fact" said Chi nese delegate" the abrogation of the 21 demands means more to Britain than to any country except emma herself. British merchants have long protest against Japan's encroachment, but because of the Anglo-Japanese alliance which is still in force Britain has been compelled to keep silent.
