DEPARTING SUMMER

TINE summer may be gone as
some do say,
Yet, seems to me, she fingers
on the way,
And as she slowly moves along
her track
/ feel she sort of wistfully looks
back
And smiles on all about her quite
as though
She really wished she did not
have to GO
And maybe that is why Septem-
Der days
Still hold so much Of summer in
their ways.

LUTHER LAUNCHES
FIGHT FOR PACTS
Begins Vigorous Drive for
Reichstag Approval of Lo-
carno Treaties.

Dy AssOcidtcu fAtss.
BERLIN, October 27-With his re-
constructed cabinet, made necessary
through the resignation of three
Nationalist portfolio holders, Herr
Schiele, DIR. Won Schlieben and Herr
Neuhous, Chancellor Luther purposes
20 go ahead vigorously with his idea
\ of having Parliament give it's sanction
TO the Locarno agreements. There
IS said to be no likelihood at present
that the cabinet will resign.
Chancellor Luther will take over
the ministry of finance; Herr Gessler.
at present minister of defense, will
assume the interior portfolio, and DIR.
Krohne, minister of transportation,
will add the ministry of economics to
his duties.
Meets Party Leaders.
The chancellor already has con-
ferred with various party leaders on
the prevailing situation, especially in
an endeavor to bring about unequivo-
cal ratification of the Rhine pact and
the arbitration treaties. He Is said
70 be hopeful that he will be able to
obtain from Artstide BRAND, the
French foreign minister, and Austen
Chamberlain, the British foreign sec
retary, amplification of some parts OF
particularly with regard to the Cologne
bridgehead and disarmament.
The optimism Of the chancellor in
this direction, it is believed, can be
defeated only if the powerful Socialist
party decides to play political game
for It's own benefit, by refusing to act
as a stop-gap for the Nationalists aEd
by declining to come to the govern
ment's rescue with the purpose of re
lieving the reactionaries of the odium
Of voting for the peace pact.
If both the Nationalists and the So
rialists abstain from voting when the
pact comes up for ratification the
Luther government still will command
the necessary majority.
The political leaders express the be-
lief that Chancellor Luther and For
tlgn Minister Stresemann, with the aid
of President Won Hindenburg, will sue
ceed in pacifying the conflicting in
ternal political currents to sufficient
extent to insure a respectable lineup
for the government and its peace
treaties when the Reichstag recon
venes three weeks hence.
