NEW GERMAN CABINET
 FACES TROUBLE SOON
No Confidence" Votes Like Iy to Be Taken Early
 Next Week

Berlin, Dee. l.--The new cabinet under Dr. Wilhelm Marx as chancel- Tor, completed last night. is likely to be subjected shortly to test before the Reichstag. That body will prob ably meet next Tuesday, and it is ex- pectcd the government will immedi- atcly face the introduction by tho communists, and perhaps also by the socialists of mo confidence" votes. according to the parliamentary fore cast of the Lokal Anzeiger today.
 This newspaper observes that the Marx cabinet is as much like the stresemann ministry as ono egg is hike another and finds it difficult to understand shy a whole week vas wasted in what II calls useless tur- nloii" over the evolution Of such 4 government as now has been consti- tuied.
 The Deutschc AlleEemeiue Zcitung organ Of Hug Stinnes, takes much the same view, declaring Dr. Stresemsnn might as well have remained chan cellor This newspaper thinks the in- clusiou Cf tVo more Bavarisns. Herr Hamm and Dr Emminger. will have little effect in bridging the differences between Munich and Berlin. while tho Socialist NorVaerts fears that their presence in the cabinet may ac- tuaily endauger the cabinets position.
 The organs of tho right apparently seeing the pendulum swinging their way. refrain from adverse comment on tho new ministry. Even Norwaerts comedies that the future depends with inc attitude Of the nationaiis's.

This IsReason, Reparation Circles Say, For Want ing This Country Rep resented

By The Associated Press
 Paris. Dec. 1.--An invitation to the ! United States government to appoint delegates to each of the two commit tees which are to investigate German finances has been forwarded to Wash i ington by Colonel James A. Logan on behalf of the reparation commission.
 Need L. s. Money
 According to information in repara- ton circles the principal reason why the door was left open by the repara- ton commission for the American government to be represented was that the French, British, Italian and Belgian governments were agreed that American money would be essential to any reasonable plan for restoration of the German financial system.
 Poincare Surprised
 Premier Poincare, it is declared, did not expect Secretary of State Highcs to refuse so quickly the cendi- tions insisted upon by France for the originally proposed inquiry into Ger manys capacity to pay reparation. NJ. Poincare had though, it is said, that a period of negotiations would take place in which France would be pre- pared to go much further in the di- nection of the American views, pro- viding some concessions were decided upon regarding her debts to England and the United States.
 Anxious to Get U. '.
 The French premier is described as all the more ready now to bring the United States, either officially or un- officially into the two inquiries au- thorized. Along with the invitation sent Secretary Hughes by Colonel Logan was an inquiry if there would be any objection by Washington to the reparation commission inviting emin- ent American financiers to participate in the investigation in case the Amer iean government did not desire to designate members of the committees.
 The fundamental reason for the anxiety to have American assistance, it is pointed out, is that any plan to restore the finances of the German re- public must include the advance 0f d large sum, certainly $500. .00G, ee0 at tho minimum. This amount would be raised in the various money markets of the world by public subscription and not be provided by the allied governments. The idea expressed is that if American finance were not represented on the committees the American investing public would not have the same confidence in the con- clusions reached.

PROGRESSIVES DO NOT
 ATTEND, LODGE CHOSEN
Mass. Senator Leader of Upper HOuse-NO Action
 on Cummins

Washington, Dec. 1.-All members of the senate progressive bloc absent | ed themselves today from the republi- can senate conference. at which the party organization was speedily ef- tected with the reelection of Senator Lodge of Massachusetts as leader. The question of the election of a president of the senate did not come before the conference, which adhered to the plan to proceed on the assump- ton that Senator Cummins of Iowa retains his office as president pro tenn, without the necessity of a for nal election. He will call the senate 10 order at the opening session Mon- day.
 Senator Curtis of Kansas. was re- elected vice-chairman of the confer ence and party whip and Senator Wadsworth of New York again was selected as secretary. Senator Lodge was authorized to appoint a commit tee on committees.
 Party candidates for all senate of fees except that of president pro tenn. were selected as follows:
 Secretary, George A. Sanderson: sergeant-at-arms. David S. Barry, and chaplain, the Rev. Dr. J. J. Muir.
 Members of the progressive bloc, who did not attend the conference were Senators LaFollette of Wiscon- sin, the recognized leader. who is con- fined to his home by illness; Norris, Nebraska; Brookhart, Iowa: Frazier, North Dakota, and Ladd. North Da- kota. Senator Borah of Idaho and six others also were absent.
 Liberalization of senate committees is the present aim of the progressive bloc according to its leaders. They say they are making no threats but that their attitude with respect to a senate fight over organization will be governed in the main by the assign ments to be made by the committee on committees of which Senator Brandegee of Connecticut probably will be chairman.
 Tho bloc is interested in the make up of the interstate commerce com mittee in which there are a number of vacancies. Senator LaFollette Is the ranking majority member of this committee but some of his friends say he probably would no, accept the chairmanship unless a majority of the membership could be expected to sup- port his progressive bloc policy as to railroad legislation.

This Is Amount Expended During Year in This Country By Members Of "Suit Clubs"

Chicago. Dec. i.--Twenty milton dollars a year is a conservative es- timste of the money spent in "so- called suit clubs throughout the country to twin" two million dollars worth of clothing, according to rep- resentstives of the national sssocia- ton of retail clothiers and furnishers. This fact. they say, was developed since raids two weeks ago by the states attorney on suit clubs In Chi cago.
 These 'so-called suit clubs" are fiourishing everywhere, according to Charles F. wry, executive director of the national association.
