! WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-President
I Harding has begun drive for Republican
solidarity in congress, particularly the
senate in the hope of presenting TO the
! American people next fall a record of
achievement that will continue the party
in legislative control of the government.
Two conferences-on with the leaders
of the agricultural bloc. of radicals
and another with the conservative Re,
publicans--have developed the fact that
Mr.. Harding has set to work in earnest
to effect a compromise. and that he will
reluctantly but surely assume the leader
ship of his party during the next few
months
The President has been urged on every
side-by members of his own cabinet as
we'll as by Republican leaders in con-
gress-to crack the whip of the party over
the heads of recalcitrant members but
nothing is more loathsome to Warren
Harding than driving the members of a
body of which lie was but recently
part. Mr.. Harding still believes he can
accomplish the same result by patient
pleading and persuasive arguments. The
REIMBURSEMENT of committee chairmanShipS
in the senate has brought the situation
10 a head. Senator Jim Watson of Indi-
ana. one of the real leaders of the senate
nowadays. man with a Shrewd eye for
political disturbances. asked Mr.. Harding
to discuss the situation with Senators
McCumber of North Dakota. Curtis,
Lodge and himself
Fear Party Will Smash.
The up shot of il all is a unanimous
ing that executive impetus Is absolutely
to go on the rocks in the present session
of congress. 1t is not that ideas for legiS
lation are lacking or that the contest is
for priority of treatment but a funda
mental difference exists between the view
point of the farming West and the manu-
featuring and banking East.
Contrary to the popular impression,
Mr.. Harding'S difficulties are not alto
gether with the farm bloc. He is not ut
swords point with that group. The truth
is he finds a good deal in their line of
thought which is acceptable to him and
progressive Republican doctrine. How
much he would have originally favored
and how much he fndS'it practical to ac-
cePt in the interest of a compromise are
entirely aside from the real situation
which is that Mr. Harding is attempting
to unite both factions on a single party
platform.

GERMANS SOLD OUT
MANY NECESSITIES
Can't Import Goods to Replace Those
Sold to Foreigners With
Good Nome

BERLIN, Jan. some of the most
valuable collections OF paintings. re-
noWned libraries, statues and antiques,
IS we'll as jewel heirIooms and family
treasures, have been sold and taken from
the country in the rush of foreigners to
buy German goods while the exchange
value of the mark WIS low.
The Immediate effect of this rush to
buy on the German population and res
ident foreigners has been n shortage of
many necessities. and rapidly rising
prices for goods still available The fact
that inportations virtually have ceased,
owing 10 the low foreign purchasing
mower of the mark, has added to the
difficulties.
German householderS complain they
are unable to repltnish their linen sup
piles. and even some of the smaller no
tells are short of sheets and pillow cases.
1t is not uncommon for a traveller who
has run the gauntlet of the Rhinelaud
and border town hotels to carry his own
pillow and sheets.
- Food supplies in many districts are
reported exhausted and shipments from
central German towns have been or
dered. In Cologne. Dusseldorf, Munster,
WurzburE, Hanover, Altoona and ORES
den districts shops are reported gener-
ally empty.
Measures have been taken in a few
towns to prevent the sale of goods to
foreigners. except at very high prices,
Int the regulations for the most part
are unenforceablc.

GERMAN CITIES
FEAR BANKRUPTCY
Depreciation of German Money Cripples
Them - Utilities Operated ut
Heavy Loss.

BERLIN. Jan. "A number of Ger
man cities have Informed the central
government they are threatened with
bankruptcy because of the rapid depre-
citation of German money. and have
asked advice and assistance.
The fall of the MAYS disrupted city
budgets and, on the aee;s OF changing
money values, labor came with demands
for more wages, prices of materials in
creased enormously. and utilities were
operated at such hcavv losses that the
municipalities were plunged deep into
debt. The majority OF tax levies arc in
sufficient to meet the running expenses
Of the towns, and the portion of taxes
due the government cannot he paid.
The central government, also in urgent
need of money. has answered by incrcas-
ing its own budget when augments the
burdens on the cities which complain
they are already too heavy to bear.
