RH|NELAND STATE
IDEA IS BEL|TTLED
Officials Here Believe Ger
many Would Reject Any Such
Reparations Proposal.

Officials here appear to be salts
fed that any solution of the repara-
tion problems based on the erection
of a separate German state in the
Rhineland would be Immediately re-
jected by the German government.
The plan which Maj. Gen. Henry
T. Allen, formerly commander Of the
American forces on the Rhine, has
suggested is said here to cont ain such
a proposal 1t is pointed out, how
ever, that the Cuno ministry repeat
edly asserted opposition to any pro-
ject for changing the status Of the
Rhineland. and so far as known, the
new cabinet has no different view.
There appears to be no prospect.
therefore, that the Washington ad-
ministration Will put forward at this
time either Gen. Aliens project or
any of the other numerous sugges-
tions that have come to 1t for solving
the German crisis. 1t has been en-
phasized that any American move,
first of all, must meet the needs of
American interests. and secondly,
must be of such a character as to
hold out some probability of success.

Intoxication Charge Holds Only
Few of RI Arrested in "Re-
markable Night"

The feature Of the session of the
District of Columbia branch of Police
Court today. Judge Robert +. Mat
|tingly presiding, was the appearance
Iof twenty-one defendants charged
with intoXication, sixteen of whom
told the court it was the first time
that they had ever been brought into
court on any charge. Most of them
were given the full clemency Of the
court by being released on their per-
sonal bonds.
Judge Mattingly took occasion to
one nights work that the police
should have picked up so many first
offenders and as they were making
their initial appearance in the court
they were entitled to cIemency.
Two of the defendants were coal
beavers. They said that the people
who employed them to store the coal
had given them "a toddy." and it had
knocked them out. The arresting
Officers said instead of putting the
coal in the cellars it was scattered
over the street and pavements. One
man told the court he went on a

DEFENDS j. s. FARM

Economics Bureau Chief
Sees Its Importance in
Unsettled Periods.

BY the Associated Press.
Agricultural forecasting by the gov
eminent, which has been criticized re-
Gently in some quarters, was defended
today by DR.. Henry C. Taylor, chief
OF the bureau of agricultural eco
nomics of the Department of Agricul-
ture. who declared il to be Of great
Importance particularly in periods
OF unsettled economic conditions II
is valuable. he said, not only to the
individual farmer and dealer in farm
products as the basis of wise farm
inanagement and marketing, but also
TO the nation as the basis of a ma
tional agricultural policy.
Effects Upon Prices.
Frequent changes in the sources
or supply and quantities produced
and their effect on prices of farm
products lead to a. desire for a better
basis OF Judgment than farmers have
mad In projecting plans for the coming
year. said DR.. Taylor "a forecast
Is statement of what may be expect
ed TO happen, based upon present con
ditions and observations interpreted
In the light Of previous experience.
nile forecasts have always been
made by farmers and merchants and
VIII continue to be made. II is be-
ileEed that agricultural foreca sting
can be made more accurate by bring
ing to bear historical and statistical
data. Furthermore, knowledge OF
the intentions of others, who are
simultaneously figuring on making
readjustments. will improve the ba sis
OF forecasts. The purpose of agricul-
tural f"recasting is the wise guild
anc" of production in order that there
may continue to be a proper balance
between the various lines Of produc-
ton and between agriculture and

THE COMING
REVOLUTION
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

There is revolution coming in Japan.
Because there is a revolution coming
everywhere there Is inequality.
Not inequality of ability, strength,
wisdom or character, Of course, for that
kind Of inequality is incident to all life,
and is the source Of charm; but in
equality in legal rights, opportunity and
privilege.
All souls seek their level (of equal
opportunity as water seeks its level.
When the sluice gates are open, and
the streams undammed. the waters find
their universal evenness smoothly and
silently; where there are distractions
and obstacles there are floods and
devaStations.
tif1cial barriers, the breaking down OF
ancient dams the blasting of venerable
rocks Of injustice, so that all souls can
move about and Up and around and SO
spread the level of peace.
Japan, like all Asia and most Of Eu-
rope. Is cursed with the very thing it is
proud of-the burden of tradition. past
of ignorance, superstition and cruelty.
But young Japan, unlike the other
countries, is aware of this, and is
eagerly, courageously struggling up
ward.
so long ass-there are, on the one hand,
colossal wealth. barbaric display,
hereditary magnif1cences, a great army
and navy, and on the other hand hordes
of laborers little better than beasts of
burden. multitudes of small farmers un-
able to make a living and driving on
hopelessly into deeper and deeper debt,
factory workers on starvation wages
and thousands of boys and girls touched
by the fire of modernity yet with not
enough schools. just so long will the
revolution menace.
The one hope is in the instinct of order
inbred in the people SO that the great
change will probably come about by the
normal processes of law and progress,
as in England. and not by blood and
fury, as in the French revolution and
the bolshevik oYerturning.
Japan is destined to be vast indus
trial island. as England and the prog
ress toward democracy is always more
difficult in industrial than in agricul-
tural communities
But the people are quick to learn. are
adaptable, keen minded. courteous and
above all have a strong sense of justice.
Hence We are warranted i'll our hope
that the coming revolution will be a
peaceable, though none the less thor
oughly radical, evolution; and that
Japan will become the great pillar OF
order to the far east, even as Great
Britain is to Europe.
