MONARCHY NOT POPULAR
IN AUSTRIA is BELIEF

Vienna, Austria.-The utter failure
of the Observation-Disclosures coup in Ba-
varia to react on monarchist elements
here, Is looked upon as denoting a
steadily decreasing reactionary feeling
in Austria.
Indeed, many close foreign observ-
ers here are now inclined to look
upon monarchism as an old theory.
Apparently it is going through the
same stages in Austria that it has In
other countries where republics have
succeeded crowns, and if this is so
only sporadic upheavals and OCCASION
al plots and demonstrations are to be
looked for.
In Austria, at least, there always
will be a moderately strong monarch
list element, but the men who COM
pose it are not Of the type to risk ban
ishment and the probable loss of their
remaining estates in a mad endeavor
to put some one on a throne.

GERMANY PUTS FOOD FOR
PEOPLE ABOVE INDEMNITY

Berlin.-In a note handed the repair

president of the war burdens commit
tee, the German government requests
a declaration in principle that priority
over reparation obligations, will, in
accordance with the Versailles treaty,
be granted in ~three-year credit up to
$7O,00O,0OO for the purchase of wheat
and fats.
The note emphasizes the impossible
ity of delaying such foreign purchases
until ~Germany's international supplies
are exhausted, and declares hat APP
proximately 100000 tons of wheat
and 10000 tons of fats monthly are in
dispensible to Germany. The note adds
that the negotiations for foreign
credits have shown that credits could
be obtained if the priority requested IS

REBELS LOSE FIRST
CLASH FOR CAPITAL
Obreqon's Federal Forces Defeat Es-
tranda's Insurgents In Battle
For Mexico City

Jaurez, Mexico.-Official dispatches
received in Jaurez contain reports O.
the first clash between the fedora
forces and those of the rebel general
Estranda, in Jalisco. The fight oc
CURED at Ocotlan, according to the re
ports, and resulted in victory for the
federals.
A rebel captain with 100 men and
1850 pesos in money, deserted Els
tranda during the fighting and Joined
the federals.
The main body of the insurgent
troops has Joined the advance guard
and the rebels are now e~ntrenched in
a line that runs from Esperanza, north
west to Oriental, a distance of 35 miles
and thence west to Apizaco, a stretch
Of 80 miles.
The Obregon forces are centered at
San Andres, 80 miles south of Oriental,
where Generals Topete and Almazan
have about 1000 men.
At Tetuchahan, 80 miles south Of
Esperanza, Generals Barbesa and Lee
chuga have a similar number of troops
and at San Marcos, 40 miles west of
San Andres the loyalists have another
body of troops. 1t is evidently the aim
of the Obregon forces to prevent the
Esperanza and Oriental rebel columns
from reaching San Marcos where the
Mexican and ~inter-oceanic railways
cross each other.
Insurgents at Oriental sent out an
exploration train which after proceed
ing about rs kilometers, encountered a
similar train manned by Obregon
troops. The latter withdrew and when
the rebels pursued they found that the
tracks had been torn up for a distance
of four kilometers.
1t is generally felt that a decisive
battle between the Sanchez forces and
the troops loyal to President Obregon
will be fought on the Vera Cruz front
near where Carranza was defeated by
Sanchez in 1919.
The government continues to con-
centrate soldiers in that district to OPP
pose the advance of the rebels. Presi-
dent Obregon has rejected the media
ton offer of Gen. Angel Flores, gov
ernor of Sinaloa, asserting that the
question between the government and
the insurgents has become military
than political, inasmuch as the
rebel leaders are army men who have
failed in their military duties.

greatest benefit to Montana farmers
and to the farmers and stock growers
of the entire Northwest.
The old military cantonment, which
was established in the late seventies
by General Nelson A. Miles, and had
been in constant use since that time,
as an outpost, and later as a cavalry
remount station, was abandoned by
the government last July, and at that
time formal notice was given hat the
land would be turned over to the in
terror department, and later in the
summer engineers Of the geological
survey made a complete survey of the
reservation for the department Of the

Since the survey was made the re-

plan for the use of more than co.
900 acres of land on the reservation as
an experiment farm, to the secretary
of agriculture, who is said to be in
clined to favor such a project, and this
enterprise since then has won the sup
port of local forest service officials.

Loans to be Made to Enable Northwest
Farmers to Diversity to Elm
mate Large Wheat Acreage

Observation-Disclosures by con
gress of a revolving fund of $5O,OO0,OUt
to provide loans with which northwest
wheat farmers could buy livestock and
take other steps to diversity their OPP
erations has been proposed to Presi-
dent Coolidge by Dr.. John Lei Coulter,
president of the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college, and f. r.. Murphy.
publisher of the Minneapolis Tribune.
DR.. Coulter first presented the plan
to the president a month ago and was
| asked by the chief executive to work
out the details and to confer with him.
According to DR.. Coulter, "the entire
purpose hinges upon the proposition
that the farmer must grow his own
living on the farm. During the war,
the government called for the raising
Of more wheat and rye to the near ex-
clusion of all other products and the
upward climb of the diversification
line was not only halted, but suffered
a decided decline. Since the war the
buying power of the farmer has ma
terially decreased in terms of wheat
per bushel price, while the diversifi-
cation line has just managed to hold
its own.
at is estimated that for this reason
the average farmer who has been rails
ing wheat in these four states, has
been losing about So per acre each
year since the war, or about 500 a
year In all this time, he has been
purchasing the greater part of the
necessary commodities to sustain life,
instead of growing them upon his
farm. This, 1t is estimated, costs him
about $500 per year..
eff he is allowed this government
loan, making it possible for him to
grow his own living on the farm, he
saves $40 the first year, even if he
his loan at the rate Of 5000 each
year for four years. This $40 used
as a working margin will materially
aid the farmer the first year and by
the end of the five years he has retired
his loan, has the stock and its progeny
paid for, is making his own living on
the farm, and has his grain crop re-
ceipts clear.
This plan of diversification would
begin by furnishing the farmer, first
with his livelihood, and within five
years bring him to a point of perma-
lent agriculture now enjoyed by farm
ars in these four states, outside the
spring wheat area"

CROWD HELPLESS TO
AID CREW.; TEN DIE
Wrecked Steamer Perish in
High Running Sea

M~arshfield, Oregon.-The steamer c.
A. Smith, loaded with 1900 900 feet of
lumber, struck on the submerged rocks
of the north jetty at the entrance TO
Coos Bay harbor and will be a total
loss.
Eight or 10 men Of the crew were
lost when a lifeboat was caps.zed. as
it was being lowered into the water.
Seven of the crew of "a were taken
off the vessel by Captain Jensen of
the coast guard, who reached the
stranded craft in a lifeboat. Others
of h crew refused to leave the vessel
because of the high seas breaking, and
at night still were aboard the craft.
Five men could be seer from shore
clinging to the surf-torn steamer.
The disaster to the men who were in
the boat which capsized could be seen
by the watchers from the shore, but be
cause of the rough seas nothing could
be done to effect a rescue. The steam
er's lifeboat capsized as it was being
lowered over the side of the c.. A.
Smith.
A second attempt by the coast guard
crew to reach the wrecked steamer,
which lay half buried in the huge
combers which swept over it constant
ly, was Intellectual. An attempt was
made to shoot a line aboard the vessel
from the steamer Cleon, but the line
fell short.
AS night fell, watchers on the shore
virtually abandoned hope Of saving the
mel aboard the Smith, as it was be-
lieved that the vessel could not last
long with the great seas pounding her.
From shore, 1t appeared that the
vessel had broken amidships. Captain
L. b. Lomburg was among those still
aboard. He refused to leave the vessel
when given a chance.
