THRACEAN RULE
 Is UNDECIDED;
 VOTE UNLIKELY
PLEBISCITE IN TERRACE STRONG " OPPOSED BY ALLIES WHO
 SAY TT IS WEAPON

LAUSANNE, December 22-The Turkish frontiers in Asia Minor and general economic conditions and fi- nancial problems will be taken up by the Near East conference beginning Monday. Thus the conference is get ting closer to affairs and the United States than the Thracean tangle.
 Nothing has been definitely decided upon during the weeks debate on Thrace, yet the trend of the discussion is interpreted by the delegates as in dicating that the conference will not approve of the plebiscite in western Thrace demanded by Turkey. Turkey will probably not get the disputed city of Karagatch, but will be accorded the right to a small station capable of serving Adrianople.
 Lord Curzon made the point that Turkey was not within her rights in asking for a western Thrace plebis- cite, and warning the Ottoman govern ment that others might demand pie biscite in certain parts of territories now claimed to be Turkish. "How would they appreciate a plebiscite in Constantinople he asked.
 Doube-edsed Weapon
 The Wilsonian plebiscite idea, Lord Curzon continued, was double edg- ed weapon.
 M. Ninchitch, foreign minister of Jugo-Slavia, delivered striking ad- dress on the necessary of bringing per manent peace in the Balkans by es- tablishing definite soverignties in dis puted points without fanciful arrange ments calculated to disturb peace anew.
 The territorial commission took up the problem of certain islands in the Aegean, possession of which is disput- ed, but the island question will go over until the straits porblem is definitely settled.

ABILITY OF CUNO
 ID BRING GERMANY
 PEACE |S DOUBTFUL
NINE GERMAN GOVERNMENTS IN FOUR YEARS TENTH IS
 NOW IN SADDLE

BERLIN. December 22-The tenth government since the defeat of Ger many is in the saddle. The ninth. like its eight predecessors, died because of what in medicine is termed as vital ity exhausted" Speeches, promises, angry curses, whining complaints, all have been substituted fo rstrong ac- ton.
 Wirth, former teacher of mathem- atics in Baden school with demo gogic talent like his prototype and protector, EiZberger, thought himself dexterious enough to dance over the precipice of the London ultimatum of 1921, and rgain the victor's conf dence" In eighteen months he failed.
 AS a child believes in Santa Claus, so he believed that England would help against the French threats. Then by his hasty, ill-considered treaty of Rapallo with the Soviet he forced Lloyd George into the French camp.
 Then the Wirth government, instead of resigning in shame, held on while France restored her relations with Russia and left Germany in a position where the infamous pact was worth less.
 As though this external shame was not enough Wirth passed the special law for the defense of his own and his colleagues skins of providing extra courts and special penalties for crimes against state officials time upsetting the equality of all citizens before the law which had existed in undemOcrat- ic Prussia for seventy years. His fail ure in directing the finances of the country was monumental. His only idea was imitation. He wanted twelve billion marks as the limit of the paper currency daily but the capacity of the printing plant held him to seven. What was the use of talking about stabilization at that rate. AS well try to stop a driverless motor car tearing down hill But three things must hap pen.
 First, it must be recognized that the mark can no longer be used as unit and must be replaced by the Reich's thaler or Reich's franss on gold bas- is; second it must be understood that the loan or abandonment of our re- maining gold cannat help unless the money market is purified beforehand Third, the government must cease be- ing monopolized by incompentent poli- ticians.
 This third essential is beginning to be recognized dimly. The trades union secretary. the small town lawyer, the secretary type of minister is losing vogue. Even the strongest of such men find their will weakening by the sud- den rise to prosperity and power so thev are the readier to abandon their convictions than their luxuriant onl- cial residences and motor cars. Tn any case the wife. formerly a cook, or a factory girl, generally prods her nus bands ambition. She quickly becomes accustomed to riding and being called "eXcellency."
