EARLY EVACUATION
OF COLOGNE SEEN
Action Expected to Result
From Agreements Reached
at locarno.
By the Associated Press.

PARIS, October 19.-Evacuation of
British troops is expected TO result
from the agreement reached in the
security conference. although it was
said in French official circles today
that no promise, verbal or written,
has been made to that effect.
Foreign Secretary Chamberlain of
Great Britain and French Foreign
Minister NJ. BRAND, who returned to-
day from Locarno, were discussing
with Premier Painleve this afternoon
the question of reallotting the terri
tory i'll the Rhineland between the
forces of the allied powers after the
evacuation Of Cologne. This was taken
to mean that the bridgehead would be
returned to the Germans within a few
weeks.
Renewal of German cooperation in
the administration of the occupied
territory is being considered by the
allies The desire of the latter is, II
is said in official circles. to give the
Germans every satisfaction possible in
the administration OF the German ter
ritory on the left bank of the Rhine.
Mr.. Chamberlain, NJ. BRAND and
Premier Painleve this afternoon were
discussing the desire of the British oc-
cupational force to make Its new head
quarters at W-iesbaden. This conflicts
with the French arrangements for sup
plying the French army in the Rhine
and it is understood they prefer the
British to take\ over the Coblenz
bridgehead.

GERMAN CABINET ACTS.
Is Expected to Reach a Decision on
Treaties Soon.

Ey the Associated Press.
BERLIN. October IA cabinet
council under the chairma nship of
President Won Hindenburg this morn
ing received the report of the Germa II
delegation to the Locrano security con
ference.
The ministers adjourned without
reaching a decision, but are likely to
reconvene late this afternoon.
The German delegation. headed by
DIR. Hans Luther the chancellor and
Gustav Stresemann, the foreign minis
ter, returned to Berlin yesterday. The
Amba sSa dors of Great Britain and
France, the Belgian minister and 9TH
er diplomats, as we'll as the members
of the cabinet, greeted the returning
delegations at the station. Since it
was not known generally when the
train would arrive, there was no pub
lie manifestation.
Lord d'Abernon, the British Am
bassador, at the request of Austen
Chamberlain, the British secretary of
foreign affairs, congratulated Chancel-
lor Luther and DR.. Stresemann on the
success of the conference.
Gives Germans Credit.
ITO the German government" he
said. will always be accorded the
honor of taking the initiative which
led to the Locarno negotiations.
After stating that MIR. Chamberlain
regarded Locarno AS the turning
point in European history. Lord
friendly relations begun between the
German and British delegations
would mean a new relationship be-
tween the two nations.
The extreme Nationalist Deutsche
Tageszeitung publishes an interview
which its Locarno correspondent had
with NJ. BRAND, the French foreign
minister. who declared himself SO
optimistic about a peaceful future
that he finished by saying in Ger
man: Together you and I, you as a
German Nationalist, 1 as French
Democrat, will organize party of
Locarnists. You will see that we will
achieve actual peace in Europe and
mutually ~enounce resort to arms
Promises Surprise.
AS to events between now and
December 1, when the security pact
is to be signed in London, NJ BRAND
remarked: Not only will your ex-
pectations not be disappointed, but
on the contrary you will be surprised. -
The correspondent also interviewed
Mr.. Chamberlain, who addressed him
in German, saying that he was de-
termined to learn to speak anew the
language he had once mastered. He
had the honest conviction, he said,
that a new epoch in European de-
velopment had been reached.
The American Ambassador, Jacob
G. Schurman, visited DIR. Strcsemann
and extended his personal cunyra.-
ulations on the results achieved by
the Locaruo conference.
Chancellor Luther made his first
report last night to President Won

Kansas. leader of the farm bloc and
indicator of the policy of the liberal
wing of the Republican party, today
declared for an out-and-out exemp-
ton of taxes on incomes up to S., 900
for married and single persons alike.
In an exclusive interview today,
Senator Capper, matching the state
ment of Senator Couzens of Michigan
made months ago, advocating mini
mum of 5000 as a normal tax basis
emphasizes that the first big point
to be settled by the committee fore
gathered today centers about this
figure.
The new revenue bill is to be

Although many thought that Old

day found him on the job as usual.
The Republicans accused the Demo
Gratis of sneaking him in, and the
Democrats Indignantly declared the
accusation a political trick to mis-
represent their wholly honorable mo-
tives.
To get picture of the setting into
which Senator Capper plunges his
opinion recent revenue history must
be recalled. Secretary Mellon in the
last Congress, with the backing first
of President Harding and then of
President Coolidge, presented plan
for tax reduction which provided de-
creases for all classes of Federal in
come tax payers. 1t was known as
The Mellon Plan and was hailed
by it's supporters as truly scientific.
But the Democrats, led by the bantam
ike Jack" Garner, said the Mellon
Plan" would take too much off the big
taxpayers and too little off the bills
of the small taxpayers.
The La Toilette insurgent Repub-
licans agreed with the Democrats, but
declared that they would give the
large taxpayers even less and the
small taxpayers even more relief than

U. S. Supreme Court Holds Mini

The courts position was set forth
