him to investigate The charges of illegal
practices made against it by Samuel

was charged, directly or indirectly,
with creating and maintaining a
monopoly in the manufacture and sale
Of tungsten incandcsccnt lamps, With
extorting large sums from the public
by unlawful methods, with Juggling It's
accounts TO cvade payment Of income

BERLIN, Jan. Is (By The Associated
Press s).-Germany will REQUIRE another
100000, 900 paper marks in tho
course Of the next two years in order
to enable the government to complete
its internal financial reforms. says
Georr Bernhard in the "Vossischc

Herr Bernhard advocates radical
reorganization Of the Reichsbank,
which, he declares, under its present

the nations chaotic finances. The dc
mand is made BY the writer that the

No opposition is advanced by Herr
bernhard to foreign participation in
the directorate of the bank. He sug
gests that this be not confined to the
Entente states, but that it also shall
include neutral interests. lie expresses

The relief expressed over the tenn

connection with her reparaton pay

on the part Of Germany's editors TO
the manner in which the German gov
ernment will be able to meet the Allied
demand for specific memoranda bear

and guarantees.
IL is most precarious undertak-
"especially in view of the circum-
stances. The present government com
mands only minority support in the
Reichstag and is not in a position TO

Commission actually expects the Ger

Governor Miller has Informed those
who have come to him and told him
that ne must be a candidate for re-

But all Of Mr. Miler's callers have

tina. after all he will have no choice
save TO carry out The fat Of the con-

There is an element in the party
which IS opposed to Governor Millcr's
denomination, but this faction viii con

the belief of the Governors friends
that most Of these will folov the ma

head of the ticket.
RumbIcs After City Election.
The first rumbles OF opposition to
tho denomination Of Governor Millcr
were heard shortly after the last elcc-
tion, when several estate cities went
Democratic for The first time in many
ycara. The opponents Of Mr.. Miller
laid the defeat of the local Republican
organizations to some of the laws en-
tod
ernor's utterances, notably his speech
before the League Of Women Voters,
when he declared that organizations
such as theirs. non partisan in char
acter, which sought to WELD political
influence. were u menace to our form
Of government.
United States Senator James W.
Wadsworth at a private dinner of New
York State Republicans in Washington,
when these protests were brought to
his attention, said:
Governor Miller must be rcnomi-
mated To deny him Il denomination
would be a blow at the very founda-
tons of our Institutions. which stand
