CHANCELLOR PLANS
TO DISCUSS CRISIS
Stresemann Speech Today to
Deal With Chaotic Condi-
ton in Nation.
RY the Associated Press


BERLIN, October 20-Chancellor
Stresemann. it is announced. will pub
licly discuss today Germany's foreign
relations and the situation in the
Ruhr and Rhineland.
The report that Gen. Won Lossow,
commander of the reichswehr in
Bavaria, has been recalled by DR.. Otto
Gessler, the military dictator, was
confirmed at the ministry of defense
late last night. While President Ebert
and DR.. Gessler sincerely desire to
avoid friction with Munich at a time
when the Berlin government is busily
engaged in an effort to subdue the
red premier of Saxony, Won Lossow's s
stubbornness in acting on the or
ders of the defense minister in which
he has been literally encouraged by
the Bavarian dictator, DR.. Won Kahr,
has SO incensed both the president
and DR.. Gessler that they felt the
federal military authority and army
discipline would DE menaced should
they permit the reichswehr COM
mander to fiout them further.
Position Delicate.
Unless DR.. Gessler now succeeds in
selecting a successor to Won Lossow
as military governor of Bavaria, the
central government ) state OF Smer-
gency decree will become null and
void so far as Bavaria is concerned
and dictator Won Kahr will then be
in a position to disregard entirely
any edict proclaimed by President
Ebert or the minister of defense.
The immediate outcome of the pres
ent controversy will be another ex-
change of diplomatic antilles between
Berlin and Munich, in which the cen
trail government, experience shows,
usually comes out second best.
The situation with regard to Saxony
indicates temporary abatement in
the tension of the past few days and
the Berlin government is confining its
activities in that state to a general
policing movement in an effort to
suppress lawlessness and rioting
A report that Gen. Won Mueller
reichswenr commander in Saxony, has
been recalled is officially denied. 1t
is said that the military governor of
Saxony is acting in complete unison
with President Ebert and DR.. Gessler.

CUT LLOYD GEORGE
CAPITAL PROGRAM
Staff Members Say Public
Appearance Impossible.
To Visit Coolidge.

All plans for public entertainment
of David Lloyd George while the for
mer British premier is in Washing
ton next week were abandoned to-
day, and the committee of representa-
tives OF civic bodies organized last
week to prepare plans for such enter
tainment was disbanded following re-
ceipt by long distance telephone of a
message from Mr.. Lloyd George that
he does not desire to attend any pub
lie ceremonies during his stay in the
capital.
r. J. Henning, acting secretary Of
labor, talked over the telephone today
with Sir Alfred Cope. a member of
Mr.. Lloyd Georges party who in
formed Mr.. Henning that the former
premier did not wish to attend any
public entertainment while in Wash
ington, much as he regretted the step.
Private entertainment of the former
premier will be carried out as out
lined, Mr.. Henning was given to un-
derstand. Mr.. Henning was chairman
of the civic committee in charge of
arrangements for a luncheon and din
.ner by civic bodies to Mr.. Lloyd
George. He advised Z. F. Co11aday,
president of the Board of Trade, of
the wishes of the former premier, and
at his suggestion the committee dis
banded. Mr.. Colladay was vice chair
mon of the committee.
To Lunch at White House.
Mr., Lloyd George will continue
with the rest of his schedule, includ-
ing the luncheon at the White House
on October rs, the dinner that even
ing as the guest of Secretary Mellon.
The following day he will visit Ar
lington, the Washington Monument,
the Lincoln Memorial and Mount Ver-
non, and will be the guest of Secre-
tary Hughes at dinner that evening.
Mr.. Hennfng was informed that re-
ception to the former premier by the
Welsh people of Washington and Bal
timore will not be held, but no indi-
cation was given that~the luncheon
to Mr.. Lloyd George by the Overseas
Writers will be Cancelled During his
visit here Mr.. Lloyd George will visit
former Presidents Wilson and Taft.

claimed for Great Britain the right

statements that the German repara-

SNOW In MICHIGAN.
Follows Severe Storm on Upper
Great Lakes.

SAULT STE MARIE, Mich, October
20.-Two inches of snow fell here
last night and early today in the
wake of the storm that swept the
upper lakes Friday. Although the
storm had subsided today few vessels
were passing through the~locks. The
only lockages were upbound craft
and these vessels dropped anchor in
the upper St. Mary's river, not daring
to enter Whitefish bay.
Last nights seas were the highest
of the fall season, but all ships are
believed to have reached safe anchor

BRINGS CRITICAL PARLEY.
Dry Conference May Have Bearing
on Coolidge's Future.

BY the Associated Press
Calvin Coolidge takes up one of the
most troublesome problems confront
ical figure in meeting today with the
governors of the several states to dis
cuss enforcement of the prohibition.
immigration and narcotic laws.
The prohibition phase of the con-
ference holds by far the most for
good or for i'll for the President and
his administration, and the interest
in that phase has been increased by
recent developments in the prohibi-
tion enforcement situation and the
greatly increased discussion of the
dry law enforcement problem.
Other Issues Added.
The conference in it's prohibition as
pect is a heritage from the admins
tration OF President Harding, who had
planned a meeting with the state ex-
ecutiyes last spring to consider means
of closer cooperation in making the
prohibition laws effective.
Lengthy sessions by some state leg
islatures which would have prevented
attendance of governors caused Mr..
Harding to postpone the conference.

presidency upon Mr.. Harding's death.

done towards developing this field, and for years a splendid opportunity has been neglected. It is gratifying to conservationists throughout the state, who are constantly increasing in numbers and influence, that such a condition will not continue indefi- nitely. Many constructive citizens who appreciate the great outdoors and who realize what can be done to advance large industry are giving time and thought to the conservation of fish, game and wild life in the state. Their work is already showing results. Within a few years, under the conservation program in process of development, a valuable asset, which has been long threatened with extinction, will be restored and pre- served, for the benefit of all the peo- pIe

FISH CULTURE DESIRABLE

A suggestion which is worthy of the attention of all who are concerned for the economic progress of Alabama, as we'll as of all who are interested in outdoor recreation and sport, comes from the Talladega Daily Home in the following paragraph:
 Alabama is advised that she is
 practically the only state in the
 Union that has no fish cultural
 stations for the rearing of fish,
 no closed season during the
 spawning period, and no age nor size limit on any game food fish.
 Alas, is there any wonder the
 state is short of fish?
 There are few states in the Union where conditions for propagation of bass, Dream, croppie, goggle-eye and other fine fish thrive and would rap idly multiply in the streams and lakes of Alabama if they were given a chance under the enactment and en. forcement of practical laws for propa- gation and protection. There is scarcely a region of considerable area in the state where fish culture could not be easily and inexpensively car ried on as business whereby a large and wholesome additional food product would be supplied to the people within a few years. This takes no account of the value of the broad field of recreation and sport.
 Yet until recently very little was

Quick to Quit (Mobila RegiSter)

Some supposed friends of the movement for the abolition of the convict lease system have given up the fight and have begun to of fer excuses for failure, saying that the opponents of the system failed to offer any good substitute for 1t, and therefore deserved to fail. This. of course. ignores the sev- eral ways suggested by former Governor Kilby and others how the convicts might be employed; but what, we ask, about this all legged obligation on the part of the reformers to find a substitute for the convict lease system? Why was it not spoken of before; and, now that 1t is spoken of, what au- thority exists for saying that such an obligation rested upon the re- formers? When we find an evil thing we scotch it, without wait ing to debate what will be done with the remains. It was so when another great reform was insti- tuted in Alabama, and, after it was done, ways and means were devised to make up the monetary loss suffered by the state. It seems to us that the exuse offered Is ! merely confession of half heartedness on the part of those who offer it. Maybe these friends of the movement were not really for it; and have now an overreadi- ness to fall back into the old do- nothing attitude.

THE PORTRAIT OF MIR. DEMPSE Y

There has been some amusing criti- cism of Kansas City's art appreciation because an oil portrait of Jack Demp- sey hangs in the Art Institute of Mis- souri's Western center of culture. The author, a Seattle man, is reported to have put value of two thousand dol lars on the painting, a small considera- ton, to be sure, in comparison with the five thousand dollars minute which MT. Dempsey received for per hitting sports to see him punch MT Gibbons. The point is, however, why should Kansas City be criticized for having MT. Dempsey done in oil? His recent fortune was acquired to the grief of three banks because of the existence, real or imaginary, of oil around Shelby. Nobody will make bold to claim that there is nothing ar tistic about tRe subject, when it is re- called with what finesse he held out for and collected in advance that last hundred thousand dollars regardless of what effects it might have on the security of Montana financial institu- tions or on Shelby's game mayor.
 Art is widely regarded as a devel- opment of age True, Kansas City is not very old; nor is Dempsey yet in the has-been class with Jeffries and Willard. But both are coming along, and there are more people in Kansas City who are interested in MT. Demp- sey's pictorial suggestions than in those of the Old World masters. Be sides, it is hard to get away from the idea of a famous American that "1f people like that sort of thing, that is the sort of thing that they like"

THIRD PARTIES
Philadelphia Record)

VI liliutlplild 1NeCOTu) -
 One plank of the platform adopted by the proposed federated farm-labor party, which was de- nounced by one element as "too radical for even the radical state of Wisconsin" calls for the "ope- ration of industries on a basis of workers and farmers increasing control of management and opera tion through their own economic organizations" This is not going so far as Russia. where the peas- ants are practically denied all share in the government; but where will the farmers come in if the rush from the fields to the cities continues at the present rate for a few more years? As capitalists, often with a consider able investment in their farms, homes and equipment, their inter- ests would seem to be directly an tagonistic to the proletarian ele- ment to which w. z. Foster, c. E. Rustenberg and other communists appeal. The effort to amalgamate interests so diametrically opposed is like an attempt to make water and oil mix, and is the weak point in all these hird-party movements. That proposed at Chicago seems as likely to be as futile as the presi- dential tactics of the committee of forty eight in 1920. There must be an overshadowing issue in or der to bring a new political party into vigorous existence, and no such issue appears to have been raised at Chicago.
