When the authorization bill was
called up in the reichstag Thursday
the first and second paragraphs We're
voted by a large majority, but when
the measure as whole came up for Il
final vote the entire National party
walked out, leaving the reichstag with
out n quorum. Adjournment was taken
until Saturday. If Chancellor Strese-
innnn should fail to secure the neces-
authorized by President Ebert to dis
solve the reichstag.
These varied complications brought
about a panic on the Berlin bourse that
carried the mark down to the ridicu-
lous figure of 7,00O,00O,00O to the dol
lar. The shops doubled all their prices
and the people rushed about trying to
get rid Of their practically worthless
paper money. The Communist leaders
were making the most of the situation
and were hopeful that the prospect of
winter of hunger and cold, together
with the anger of the workers against
the industrial leaders, would enable
them to set up revolutionary govern
ment. Documents seized at communist
headquarters at Breslau revealed Il
plot to overthrow the Stresemann gov
ernment and an attempt to organize Il
communist state by force or arms.
More than fifty persons were arrested.
Indeed, the Red peril in Germany was
greater than at any time in the past.
That Soviet Russia is well informed Of
the conditions and ready to help the
Communists is indicated by the con-
centration of large bodies of soviet
troops near the western border of Rus

TT is authoritatlvely announced at
L the White House that President
Coolidge believes industry throughout
the United States is generally pros
porous, that business conditions are
promising and that the outlook Is
highly satisfactory. He has received
reports of the satisfactory condition of
many agricultural products, especially
corn, of good markets for cattle and Of
fair prices for hogs. The fruit situa-
tlon has been handicapped by car
shortage, but the Department of Agri-
culture is cooperating with the rail-
roads, growers organizations and
others to relieve the strain. The tex
tile and steel industries are doing
fairly well; some mining industries
are not so prosperous; the Oklahoma
oil region is having difficulties owing
to the large oil production farther
