PARIS. November 10.-The escape
of the former German crown prince
from Holland is considered in French
official circles as a serious and most
regrettable complication. which is
likely further to embroil relations

ever, is relied upon to prevent the in

ton OF the monarchy in Bavaria.

showing rather widespread agitation
in favor Of the substitution of auto
cratic power for the present govern
ment, preferably in the shape of res
toration of the monarchy, but the
rivalry between the partisans of the
Hchenzollerns and the Wittelsbashs
is greatly weakening the force of the
movement
Chancellor Stresemann in a most
courteous talk with NJ de Margerie
yesterday, is understood to have as
sured the French ambassador of his
determination to put down any such
movement The allies are none the
less determined that the former
crown prince shall not be allowed to
remain in Germany if they can help
it, because of the likelihood that he
may at any time be chosen as the
standard bearer of the reactionary
parties
Although the treaty of Versailles
does not mention the Hohenzollerns
other than the former kaiser, 1t is
held in allied circles that. since they
are on the list of war guilty, there
is ample ground for demanding ac-
tion by the reich to prevent their be-
coming a disturbing element
The initiative in the action by the
allies concerning the former crown
prince was taken by Great Britain,
whose proposition to intervene at
The Hague was approved by Premier
Poincare. Since that action proved
too late, the allies through the am
bassadors' council will decide on an
other line of action. which is ex-
pected to be a summons to Germany,
either to deliver Frederick William
into the hands of the allies as one
of the war guilty or see that he is
placed in a safe spot where his move
ments can be so controlled as to pre-
vent another escapade.

CONTROLLER SHARP
IN REPLY TO HINES
McCarl Says Veterans Chief
Should Have Protested Be-

A sharp rejoinder has been made
by Controller General McCarl to the
protest by Director Hines of the Vet
erans' Bureau against the action of
the general accounting office in al
lowing the $4,000 claim of Mathew
OBrien, San Francisco architect,
Tor revision of unused plans for

Mr.. Hines disapproved the claim.
The O'Brien transaction is one Of
those into which the Senate veterans
committee has inquired, the commit
tee giving special attention to the
$4,000 payment, which increased the
total received by OBrien to $4,000
w. E. Gordon, the attorney of the
accounting Office who approved the
claim, was questioned at length and
the committee appeared to be aroused
over the action.
McCarl Defends Action.
Controller General McCarl, in his let
ter to Mr.. Hines, says there was no
legal ground for disallowance of the
claim for the reason assigned by Mr..
Hines, because there was no limita-
tion of the cost of the hospital, as the
director had contended.

day statement follows:
November IL is the fifth an
niversary of the signing Of the
armistice which ended the world
war The nations have not yet
recovered from that great catas-
trophe. nor will they recover for
some time to come. But great
deal of progress has been made in
that direction. Most of the mill
lions of soldiers have been re-
turned into their civilian occupa-
tions. and commerce and industry
are tending toward their pre-war
conditions. The lapse of time has
mellowed the resentments which
arose out of the war. and has
healed many of the wounds that
such a struggle was bound to
make
"It is greatly to be hoped that
we are on the threshold of new
era. The Washington conference.
resulting in the first practical linn
itation of ornaments among the
nations of the earth, did much to
promote peace and good will. In
our own country rigid economy
has brought our expenditures
within our income and brought
about reduction of war debts.
Our country will remember
with gratitude on that day those
who served it with such distinc-
tion, and renew its resolve to
those who suffered injury from
their service. But for their ac-
tion, so periodically performed.
Armistice day would have had
quite another meaning for us mad
for the world. 1t will not fail.
either. to pay the reverence due
to the memory of those who did
not see the end. but died that the
end might come.
"It is well, also. to recall just
what this day meant. 1t meant
the end of war. 1t ought to
mean the permanent return of a
peace which can only be estab-
lished through good will, and only
enjoyed in security when 1t rests
on justice. If there is to be peace
on earth 1t will be because be-
tween nations there is justice on

The former crown princes party

himself, one for his luggage and his
servants.

Despite the vast amount of Talk it
has naturally occasioned, his return
to Germany is not regarded as sav-

Much talk has been heard lately
about an alleged plan Of chancellor
Stresemann to use the former crown
prince as an instrument against Ba-
varia in the event that state arrAmpt-
ed to place Prince Rupprecht on the
throne vacated by the Kaiser, but
little weight is attached to this ru-
mored scheme because of the unpop-

the great majority of the monar-
chists.
The book of "reminiscences of the
one-time heir to the German throne

out, to prevent his ever becoming

President Coolidge called upon the

Copyright. 1923.
PARIS, November 10.-Although
official spokesmen at the DUAL d'Orsay
today characterized the final retec-
tion by the United States of the pro-
posed expert reparation inquiry as
'regrettable. the general feeling
here in regard to the American deci-
sion is the exact opposite.
The whole project is now regarded
here as dead, since. in view of Pre-
mier Baldwin's speech last night de-
claring that he stood on the original
Hughes plan. it Is expected that
Britain must now follow the Wash
ington example.
Gets Rid of Experts.
This. it is pointed out here, now
leaves the reparation question open
to discussion by the reparation COM
mission, unhampered by experts
whom Premier Poincare has steadily
feared would be inclined to attempt
downward revision of the reich
debt and to interfere with the French
hold on the Ruhr. which the premier
has repeatedly asserted will be
evacuated only in such measure as
payments are made by Germany.
The reparation commission can be
depended upon to stay within the
strict limits of the provisions of the
treaty of Versailles with respect to
reparations and to adhere TO the
London reparation schedule. although
more liberal terms for payment than
have heretofore been contemplated
will probably be given Germany.
Line of French Policy.
This, it is understood. will be the
French policy, and direct converse
tions between Paris and Berlin within
a month are not impossible.
While Premier Poincare is glad to
escape from an expert inquiry that
would be held on any lines save those
laid down by himself. he expressed
himself tonight as disappointed that
no greater attention has been paid
to his demand that a search be made
for German gold hidden abroad.
Es1nlate OF Funds,
France estimates that German funds
in England total about s150.00e, ,0ot
and in the United States in the
vicinity of $4,000, 900, 900.
During the past week a tall man
with a limp has been touring the
Ruhr. Ostensibly, ne has been look
ing into the mess kettles of the
French soldiers, tasting their food
and examining the rest rooms. In
reality he has been busy inspecting
the companies, battalions and regi.
ments, with particular attention tc

The tall man with the limp is Gen
Maginot. He is preparing for an
eventuality which is not considered
so remote in France as perhaps eIse-
where-the danger Of the man or

Budget estimates of federal expendi-

next July 1 will total, approximate

the amount fixed by President Har-
ding last March as adequate for pay
ing the ordinary costs of the govern
ment
Director Lord of the budget bureau
virtually ended his annual task last
night. and. with exception of a few
minor items, the budget was complete
The first Of the list OF estimates have
been placed in the hands OF the gov
ernment printer in preparation for
submission to Congress, December 3.
Few Increases Allowed.
Although budget officials declined to
discuss the individual items contained
in the estimate, it can be said that
few agencies of the government
were allowed to include requests for
more money than they have had ap-
propriated for the current twelve
months. Many of them, it was de-
clared, have been substantially re-
duced, while others were accorded
sums barely equal to the amounts
they may spend this year.
Among the services of the govern
ment which have not been allowed
amounts equal to their current appro-
priations are the bureau of internal
revenue and the customs division of
the Treasury. Current appropriations
provide for expenditures of $31,200,-
600 by the internal revenue bureau
and $I2,100,000 by the customs divi-
sion. About one million dollars has
been slashed off of the estimates Ct
each.
Deficit This Year.
The customs division was forced to
create a deficiency under President
Harding's authorization before con-
cluding the fiscal year ending last
June 80. Another one Is in prospect
for this year because of the heavy
increase in imports.
The War and Navy Departments
have taken reductions in .heir esti-
mates under protests. contend:ng that
the work cut out for them by Con-
gress can not be accomplished on the
amounts which the budget will sug-
gest to Congress.
Some other branches of the govern
ment also were declared to have re-
garded cuts by the budget bureau as
likely to lessen their efficiency and
in some quarters, it was asserted, the
new estimates may result in test of
the budget principle.
