HENRY FORD, it is now reported,
l. l. is going to make the race for the
presidency all by himself instead Of
as the head Of third party ticket He
is quoted as saying: There will be
four tickets in the 1924 election: The
Republican ticket, the Democratic
ticket, a third party ticket and the
Henry Ford Independent ticket. No
candidate is likely to get a majority of
the electoral vote and the election
probably will be thrown into the house
Of representatives"
There are 531 votes in the electoral
college, and if the two old parties are
fairly evenly matched in the 1924 cleo
ton and the third or the Ford ticket
won one large state or two or three
smaller ones no candidate would have
a majority and the election would be
thrown into the house Of representa-
tives Of the Sixty-eighth congress. In
this case the Constitution provides that
the house shall choose the President
from the candidates, not exceeding
three. receiving the highest number of
electoral votes. In making this choice,
however, the house is required to vote
by states, each state delegation hav-
ing one vote, determined by majority
of the members of the delegation. A
quorum shall be one or more members
from each of two-thirds of the states,
and "a majority of all states shall be
necessary to a choice" Thus at least
25 votes would be required to elect.
1t happens that in the next house
there are only % state delegations
whose majority is Republican and 20
state delegations whose majority is
Democratic, while FIVE delegations
evenly divided between Republicans
and Democrats would not be able to
cast a vote To effect an election 1t
would be necessary for members in
pivotal state delegations to repudiate
party affiliations or absent themselves
from the ballOting. If there were a
deadlock, and Ford were one Of the
three highest in the electoral college
vote, he might conceivably be chosen
by the house as a compromise.

British cabinet sympathize with him,
but Premier Baldwin and most of his
ministers are determined that Great
Britain shall not be put in the posi-
ton Of appearing to approve OF the
French adventure in the Ruhr.
German Foreign Minister Won Rosen-
berg Is said to be trying to work out q
compromise proposition. His govern
ment would express its willingness to
drop passive resistance during the
opening of negotiations with France If
assured the French would evacuate the
Ruhr when satisfactory terms were
reached and If amnesty were granted
political offenders imprisoned or ex-
PEELED by the French. Under the plan
the German railway men in the Ruhr
would resume their duties and the
workers In the Rhineland would do
their work under supervision of the
French engineers. 1t is admitted In
Berlin that the passive resistance is
weakening because living conditions In
the occupied region are becoming I'M
possible. Meanwhile, stimulated by
the nationalist societies, the Germans
in the Ruhr are renewing their cam
paign Of sabotage and violence. With
in a week they have killed three French
soldiers and wrecked several trains.
The natural result is the sterner appli-
cation Of restrictive measures by the
French. Eleven Germans have been
killed for disobeying orders; some of
them disregarded the curfew hour es-
tablished In various towns where there
was disorder.

0NCE more the Balkans, the hot
~ bed Of European wars, are ablaze.
Bulgaria Is in the throes Of a civil
war; Jugoslavia, Greece and Rumania
have rushed troops to the Bulgarian
borders, and Hungary has called three
classes to the colors so as to seize
whatever advantage may be offered.
The conflict may be confined within the
limits of Bulgaria. or 1t may spread
over much Of central Europe and ulti-
mately involve some the great powers.
Reserve officers of the Bulgarian
army, with the assistance Of the active
army, carried out a coup detat by
which Premier Stamboulisky and his
agrarian government were ousted and
a new ministry installed headed by
Prof Alexander Zankoff. Some of the
ex-ministers were arrested, but Stam-
boulisky fed and at once began arm
ing and organizing the peasants for
the purpose of recapturing Sofia and
overthrowing the "usurping" govern
ment. Thursday evening he sur
rendered at Elesdick on condition that
his life be spared, but a few hours
later he was shot to death. The Off
cial report was that armed peasants
attacked the automobile in which he
was being taken to Slavovitza and
that he was killed by guard while
trying to escape. Probably it was the
application of the ''ley de fuega" so
familiar in Mexico.
Stamboulisky had angered the old
war party-mostly pro-German-by
his persecution of Macedonian au-
tonomists, his attitude at the Lausanne
conference, his concessions to Jugo-
slavia and his failure to obtain a cor
ridor to the sea. The new admins
tratiOn says the actual crisis was
brought on by his recent demand on
King Boris that he be appointed die
tator. After his flight, it is said, huge
sums of money were found in his villa.
The king is believed to have been privy
to the plot by which the government
was Overthrown.
Though Premier Zankoff's first act
was to visit the Jugoslav embassy and
give assurance that he would respect
the old governments treaties, the
Serbs are suspicious that he will en-
courage and aid the Macedonians in
their demands on Jugoslavia, and this
probably would bring ON hostilities.
The Serbian foreign minister is re-
ported to have said that Serbia was
willing to force the new Bulgarian
government to observe the treaty Of
Neuilly and the stipulation of the Nish
conference, which obligated Stam-
boulisky to oppose the Macedonian
movement. Part Of Macedonia is held
by Greece, and both Greece and Ru-
mania, as members Of the little en-
tente, would be bound to stand with
Jugoslavia.

some dismay of combination designed
to control trade with Turkey, signed
at Lausanne by Rustem Bey, repre-
senting Leslie Urquhart and group Of
British banks, and Sheriff Bey, repre-
senting a new Turkish syndicate. The
combination, which is capitalized for
$1OOOO,0OO. will begin operations as
soon as peace is signed, and it's Turk
ish charter is so broad it can embark
in any business. The Urquhart group
embraces most Of the big London
