sion in advising Germany of the amount that will be reduced from the payments due in 1922 if budget fiscal reform measures outlined are adopted was the second. The third. of course, was the statement of the American government that there will be no more American troops on the Rhine after 1922.
 The first, naturally, is of the utmost interest because of the danger in al lowing the Tureo-Greek conflict to continue indefinitely. The Angora demands bring to the front the treaty of friendship between Angora and Moscow, whose existence former Pre- mier Aristide Briand denied last year but which is now an admitted fact. Even the text of the document now is known. Everything today points toward a united diplomatic offensive between Lenine and Renal, while the approach of the Genoa conference encourages them.
 Germany Seems Alarmed
 In connection with Germany the government there seems to have been alarmed and discouraged by the rep arations decision. which is divisible Into two parts. The first concerns the payments collectable Tn 1922. The second outlines the reforms demand ed in the internal budget which Ger many must adopt before she will benefit by the reduction proposed. The 1922 payments are decidedly lower than the figures adopted in London, May, 1921, but Germany seems dis posed not 10 regard this as sufficient compensation for the Sevres condi- tions demanded for the future.

gladly spent 900 to 100000 marks yearly in excess of their salary.
 It is too bad that Germany at this time does not boldly change the stand ard of it's diplomatic missions For myself I believe that the Americans and the English would respect an am bassador who frankly would stare that he was unable to give state din- ners, costing millions of marks. while so many Germans were in misery at home, nor could accept them and must beg even the box holders of the Metropolitan opera house to allow him to entertain them with tea anl lemonade.
 VIII De Expensive
 Unless the mark improves In value, which is not likely, to maintain the embassy at Washington on Its former scale will cost at least 100,000.o00 marks. probably much more, with wireless and cable tolls added. The Reichstag was ready to grant what ever money was necessary provided the right man could he found. A cer- tain American diplomat, often men toned in President Wilson's time, sug- gested sending the wts Id renowned scholar and great economist. Luigi Brentan, or the theologian, Adolf Harnack. but they declined on the ground of advanced years. Then the perplexed government asked Walter Nerns. the inventor of the electric lamp which bears his name. but he considered himself unsuited for the position.
 Many social democratic and centrist deputies, far less modest, offered themselves as candidates. They all were astonished when the government replied chat despite their unques- toned personal charms, the United States probably would not accept n narrowly religious politician, while It certainly would refusa the claims of a social democrat. inasmuch as the European brand of socialism is un- known in America, where 1t is tconsid- cred bolshevism. An U/ca Saas never seen socialist rise to power and then turn mandarin.
 Since 1918 we have had whole series of this kind here in Germany. Tn eforemost was Herr Ebert, who, as socialist leader, organized count less strikes and cursed all rulers from the tribune of the Reichstag AS pres ident he called a general strike when fleeing before Kapp and Luttwitz. yet now he tyrannizes with injunctions, ukases and death sentences against the strikers, to the delight of the tories, while the workers call him. a turncoat. All our experience has shown that those in power must be conservative. Not nearly so many rebels were executed in the half cen tury Of Kaiser rule as in a year under socialism.

 It Is excellent that they have de- cided to restore it's power and 1t will be good to see the commission again reach unanimous decision. Then we will see whether the restoration Is real one.
 The announcement that the Amer ican forces will be withdrawn from the Rhine caused mixed emotions. Sentimentally the French are grieyed because the brotherhood in arms or the "doushboys" and the ''poilus" re- mains a sacred thing and one we can not forget We also recall that the American President in 1919 called the Rhine the frontier of freedom. Politi- cally the impression Is slighter be- cause everyone recognizes that the United States having failed to ratify the treaty, can have no object Tn maintaining troops in the Rhtneland'
 Their remaining only would aggra- vate the financial difficulties which the Boyden note so painfully re- vealed. and again, In international, Ike personal relations, there is nothing like clarity and perhaps Europe, see ing the United States refuse to in- terest itself In her affairs, will make much more serious effort to un- tangle them unaided. The only danger is that Germany may think, or pre- tend to think, that the United States Is supporting her against France.
