Due to Economic Pressure

BERLIN, Sept. "a (By The Associ-
ated Press The reunion to-day Of
the Majority Socialists and the Inde-
pendents came as direct result Of
economic pressure. Since the break,
which occurred in September, 1916,
over the question of voting war credits
and other policies with which the party
was confronted by reason of the World
War, the ranks Of the German Social
lists have been rent by internecine
strife, which, with the advent of the re-
public and the menace of Bolshevism,
became more intense. The demand for
fusion also has been accelerated by the
growing opposition of the bourgeoisie
to what it considered the threatened
rehabilitation of Germany and the ag-
gressiveness Of German industrialism
and big finance
BY pooling its mandates the reunited
party will command 169 out of 469

a distributor of advertising bills, is
known to practically every resident of
western Wayne county, estimates that
he has walked in the performance of
his work "a distance equalling four
times the circumference of the earth
at the equator, approximately 100000
miles. His is one job in Wayne =coun-
ty which has no competition.
Garner is a middleaged man and
since he was Is years old he has trav-
eled the county highways and streets
of Richmond and the smaller towns,
distributing advertising dodgers"
from house to house. He never has
found it difficult to get business, and
he recommends his work to anyone
who is seeking robust health.
Walking is the greatest exercise
that can. be obtained" says Mr.. Gar
ner. 'It keeps you in the open, does
not overtax your vitality, and insures
a good appetite"
In walking a distance approximat-
ing four times the worlds circumfer-

averaged about $500 miles a year for
the last 80 years. In walking he has
long but easy stride, acquired by
years of practice, and at the end of a

RHINE TROOP
WITHDRAWAL
is PROPOSED
No Official Comment
Confer Next Week
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA. - There
were intimations today in government
circles that a project for complete
withdraw of American troops from the
Rhine was again under consideration,
but that no decision was expected for
several days.
No authorized statement as to the
reason prompting renewed discussion
of the subject at this time was avail
able, nor would any responsible Off
cial forecase what course would be
adopted
In this connection 1t was recalled
that Ambassador Houghton at Berlin
had asked American ministers to the
various Central European powers to
meet in conference in Berlin next
week and had invited Maj. Gen. Allen,
commanding the American forces in
Germany, to be present.
The announced purpose of the con-
ference is to permit William r. Castle,
Jr., chief of the western European di-
vision Of the state department to get
in touch with the ministers and jointly
discuss questions of American rela-
tions, but it appears possible that the
question of withdrawal from the Rhine
may also be considered

it out" Harry Higgs, financial ad-
wiser to the government of Egypt, also
spoke but since he did not go into Mr..

turning up bones on Thursday, but it
was only Saturday that the most i'm

skeletons lie at the extreme west edge
of the mound, beneath the last ground

six inches above the base of the
mound Another platform was found
short distance away and crema-
tory of puddled clay, in a box or cof-
fin shape just large enough to accom-
modate a body, and 80 inches deep,
was at an opposite edge, the end eX-
tending beyond the boundary of the
mound
The clay from which this crematory
had been built was baked to almost
rocky hardness by fires, although only
a small amount of ashes was found in
side. Evidence of $50 small cremation
fires were discovered in various parts
of the mound, which is Is feet in di-

Platforms in Mound
The two platforms, which are the
principal features of the mound, are
oval in shape and raised a few inches
above the base of the mound. The
one on which the skeletons were found
is quite large, possibly IA feet in di
ameter, and is covered with a heavy
deposit of ashes, charred wood and
cremated bones beneath the skeletons
This is an unusual practice, Mound
Builders usually having cremated
their dead, according to the evidence
in the mound.

five and half feet, somewhat higher
