Rx HARRY P. FLORY


LONDON. Oct. %. Gre e k
troops have begun war operations
against Bulgaria, according to
dispatches from Sofia today quot
ing semi-official statements.
The semi official Sofia state
ment charges that a detachment
of Greeks supported by artillery,
has advanced into Bulgarian terri
tory and shelled the Bulgarian
town of Petrich. The statement
further charges that the Greeks
have attacked Bulgarian sentinels,
killing five. and occupying three
Bulgarian posts.
Center of Activities
Petrich, which Sofia claims has
been shelled, is understood to have
been scheduled for occupation by
the Greeks. IT has long BEEN a
center of Macedonian activities.
LONDON, Oct. 22.-That the
Graeco-Bulgarian crisis will furnish
another test of the League of Ma
tions appeared certain today, with
reports from Sofia that the Bull
garian cabinet would protest to
the league against the Greek in
vasion of Bulgarian territory and
would ask permission to mobilize
troops in defense of it's borders.
Ready for Invasion
AS these reports were received
from the Bulgarian capital, by way
of Vienna, 1t was learned from
Athens that the proposed advance
and occupation of Petrich as a guar
antee of payment Of indemnities had
not been completed. but would be
made today.
Athens dispatches also stated that
Minister of Marine Hadjikyriakos
had been appointed foreign minister
in place of M. Rendis, and would
have direct charge of the negotia-
tons to clear UP the alleged VIOLA
ton of border peace by Bulgaria.
The trouble originated in the De-
mirhissar region, where bad blood
has existed for three months be-
cause of the killing of Greek citi-
zen at Stanimaka, Bulgaria.
Bulgarian lrregulars were reported
to have fired over the border at

crux Of Fight
b. GEORGE R. HOLMES

ss DY fNGOSNL N AA0AAA4A A%Ap
Despite enormous pressure be-
ing brought to bear from the
white House, from the Treasury,
and 81 the commercial interests
of naore fllan score Of States,
IL seemed unlikely today that the
Congressional trainers Of the new
revenue act win remove the
present Federal tax on inheri-
tances.
Rate May Be Cut.
The rate OF such tax may BE-
lowered, but both Congressman
Green Rep.1 Of Iowa, and Congress
man Garner (Dem.) OF Texas, the
majority and minority leaders OF
the powerful Ways and Means
Committee, were positive today the
tax will be retained.
The whole taxation fight APP
peared, veering more and more to-
day toward making the inheritance
tax the focal point Of the conflict.
Practical agreement has been
reached on a maximum surtax Of
20 per cent, and a substantial cut
in the lower brackets.
Some Of the greatest fortunes in.
America are involved in the inherit
lance tax issue.
Florida Boom Factor
Oddly enough. the Florida real
estate boom indirectly has become
a considerable factor in the con-
troversy.
The State OF Florida adopted an
amendment to its constitution pro-
Viding that the State viii never inn
pose a tax on inheritances. The
amendment was shrewdly drawn TO
attract wealth to the State as a
place Of permanent residence. and
assure it of noninterference after
death.
Rightly or wrongly, this invita-
ton to wealth to come to Florida
and be secure from disintegration is
credited in no small way with the
remarkable development that has
taken place there. At least, Il has
been al important contributing fac
tor to drawing capital out of the
North and into the State.
States to Follow Suit
Now, it is the belief OF Congress
sional leaders that if the Federal
tax on inheritance is removed a
number of States will be attracted
by the Florida example and pass
SIMILAR amendments to their consti-
tutions, as bid for capital invest
ment. Chambers OF Commerce and
business Organizations in many
States have recently been complain
ing of the Florida migration of
people with money.
"Once remove the Federal inheri-
lance tax, and you'll find States.
particularly the new ones. falling
all over themselves to enact similar
constitutional amendments, said
one member Of the committee today.
While it is probable that some Of
the agitation for repeating the in
heritance tax comes from sources
for the Florida reason,
on the other hand there is an In
sistent demand from majority of

LOOMING
ON LOCARNO
PACT
German Nationalist Deputies
to Vote Against Treaty
in Reichstag
BY s. DUNBAR WEYER
International News Service

BERLIN, Oct. 22.-The first
obstacle to the successful execution
OF the Locarno security pacts arose
today when German Nationalist
deputies met and decided to vote
against the Locarno pacts when
they are brought before the reich
stag for ratification.
The Nationalist deputies held a
lengthy session discussing the
Locarno pacts and eventually
passed the following resolution:
The Locarno treaties do not
contain fullfilment of the demands
which are dictated by the vital
necessities of the German nation.
We also fail TO see fullfilment for
conditions to the conclusion of the
treaty, or compensation by the
other powers for the sacrifices
brought by Germany.
Will Oppose Pact
I'm view of this result, the Ger
man Nationalist deputies declare
their assent to no treaty which
does not do justice to the vital
necessities of the German nation
and which does not preclude re-
nunciation OF German territory
an German inhabitants"
Whether this attitude by the
Nationalists will lead to a failure
| to ratify the treaties in the Reich
stag remains questionable, but the
German government undoubtedly
| intends to proceed with caution
and will not hasten presentation
of the treaties for approval by
the Reichstag,

Ralph Beaver Strassburger
Fails to Change KeIIogg's
Ruling on Passport

Countess Catherine Karolyi, wife
of the one-time President Of the.
Hungarian Republic, has been re-
fused a passport to the United
States BY the State Department,
it was admitted at the Depart
ment today. +
No reason was assigned for the
Departments action, it being
stated merely that Secretary KEEL
log had exercised the powers
under the immigration Act.
Advocates Republic
Countess Karolyi and her hus-
band are both ardent advocates of
q Republic for Hungary, as OPP
posed to the present semi dictator
ship of the Horthy regime.
Referred to Washington
The Hungarian no6leman applied
to the American consulate at Paris
two. days ago for a passport to
this country. Because on the furore
raised last spring when the de-
partment admitted her husband
under a gag" rule. which prevent
ed him from delivering any speeches
while here. the consulate referred
the countess request to the de-
partment.
The department has been con-
siderably "miffed'' over the storm
of protest aroused in Congress be-
cause OF the Karolyi gag" When
the Karolyis left the United States
To . he
count made the speeches he was
prevented from making in the Unit
ed States. This fact did not increase
his popularity with the department.
Friends of the Karolyis charge
that their being gagged originally
and now denied further admission
TO this country. is at the instance of
the HoFthy regency in Hungary
which is represented in Washington
by Count Szchesnyi, the Hungarian
minister. who married Gladys Van
derlbilt. They charge, too, that the
State Department has been "duped'
into acting as a cat's-paw for Hun.
garian royalists.
Lectured i'm Europe
Both the count and countess are
frequent lecturers on the Continent
and advocate the replacement Of the
Horthy regency with a republic.
This latest barrier erected against
the Karolyis is expected to add force
to the movement that will be made
in the next Congress TO restrict the
powers of the Secretary of State
10 bar foreign visitors at will.
Carried to Coolidge
A protest against the exclusion
OF Countess Karolyi was carried
direct to President Coolidge today
over the head of Secretary of Stat,
Kellogg. by Ralph Beaver Strass
burger. Norristown, Pa, millionaire
who had invited the Karoyis t,
come to the United States as hi
guests.
Strassburger, who has been promi
nentIy identified with Republican
politics in Pennsylvania, spent som
time with the Karolyis at Deauville
and it was upon his invitati tina
the countess applied in Paris 70
her passports.
( Strassburger saw Secretary O
State Kellogg prior to his Whit
House visit, but could secure n
reversal OF the verdict from him.

McCrory,s School Book
Measure Being Fought
BY Atlanta Teachers

ATLANTA, Aug. 8.-A deter
mined fight is being waged by the
Atlanta Public School Teachers AS
ISOLATION against the McCrory bill.
which proposes that the state of
Georgia print and publish all the
school books in use by the public
schools of the state.
The association has issued an ar
Iraignment Of the bill which has been
placed in the hands of all represen-
tatives and senators, in which it en-
numerates its objections to the
measure. The experiment which
has been tried in number of
states, the association says, has
proved not only too costly but un-
satisfactory in other details as well.
Since the McCrory measure pro-
vides that the State Board of Educa-
ton shall constitute a special text
book commission which shall BE-
charged with the responsibility of
adopting and publishing all text
books used in the schools, the asso-
citation pointed out that this would
mean that any and every book used
in any state aid school must first
have the approval Of the State
Board of Education.
With reference to economy or
saving in the costs Of books to
parents, the association referred to
an investigation made by a legisla-
tive committee several years ago OF
the system in operation in Californ-
ia, which is similar to that recon-
mended in the McCrory bill. The
committee found, it is said, chat
California does not provide text
books any cheaper than does this
state and it was evident that the
books of the former state were in
ferior to the Georgia books in print
Subjecting the McCrory bill 70
numerous criticisms, it was pointed
out that the proposed measure car
ries no appropriation, and that the
State Board of Education would be
charged with the duty Of providing
the state with text books and yet
would not be able to do so. 'In
California the state furnishes text
books free. The McCrory bill does
not propose to do this"
"The McCrory bill practically
eliminates automatically every text
book now in use in the State or in
publication, and only serves to set
up a monopoly in connection with
private business which has vet to be
proved is more burdensome.
