MARX CABINET IS
 LIKELY ID to ON
Indications Are It Will Continue
 in Office

Berlin. Dec. IS Manifestations are that the cabinet of Chancellor Marx, which resigned yesterday after defeat in the Reichstag. will con- tinue to guide affairs of state until the holidays arc over, After passing the social democrat motion of non- confidence. 24s to III, the Reichstag adjourned until January 1s. and many members left the capital to be with their families for Christmas.
 The cabinet fell before an un- natural alliance between the left so- cialist and right nationalist factions, either of which group outnumbers any government party. The motion on which the vote was taken was introduced by Philip scheidemann, social democratic leader, and was supported by the nationalists. com- munists and fascist.
 scheidomann. in opening his at- tack on Thursday. charged that arms and airplanes were manufac- tured and hoarded In Russia for Germany through the functioning of a secret fund. This was denied by Chancellor Marx.
 The cabinet, presenting its resig- nation to President Von Hindenburg last evening. was requested to con- tinue In office pending the formation of new ministry Customary pro- cedure would be to ask the social ists to form a government, they being the party responsible for the cabinets defeat, but nationalist leaders say the president was deeply hurt by socialist charges of irregu- larity in the administration Of the defense forces and that he may at- tempt to produce a coalition of the parties Of the right and middle. 1 Former Chancellor Hans Luther, who Is now returning from a trip to Central and South America.

This Is Where Smith Girls Gan
 Puff Their Tags

Northampton, Mass. Dec. IS LP- The period of abuegation for the students of Smith college who would smoke is at an end. With the an- nouncement Of new rules today the name of Paradise Pond takes on new significance for the path which circles it is designated as the only part Of the college domain where smoking is approved.
 The question of cigarettes had been left to the decision of the stu dent body by the authorities for the past year. Last spring the un- dergraduate body voted to approve smoking in the dormitories.

GREENS TRIAL IS DEVELOPING FAST
Perjury Charges Are Likely to
 Result From II

San Francisco, Dec. IS tP - In timations that perjury charges may be evolved out of the liquor embez- clement case Of Col. Ned NJ. Green. deposed prohibition administrator, hung over both prosecution and de- fense as the trial stood adjourned today for the weekend.
 AS the defense rested its case yesterday and the government be- gan it's rebuttal, attorneys for both sides started exchanges which led to accusations of conspiracy, and "doctoring of the records" The controversy reached such tenn perature that Federal Judge A. F. St. Sure adjourned court ahead of the usual time with the explana- ton that counsel was getting ex- cited"
 The defense announced that it would show, in it's final argument that the case was predicated upon a conspiracy among Greens erst- while subordinates to oust him from his position. The prosecutions intimation of irregularity in the testimony concerned a conflict in the evidence as to whether Col Green served government liquor at any of his parties"
 Col. Sam T. Johnson created a sensation when he contradicted the testimony of Col. Green, his former friend and superior. and three other defense witnesses, by testi- flying that, acting under orders from Green, he had removed liquor from the sub-t treasury vaults.
 The liquor, consisting Of two bot ties Of wine, was consumed, he said, at a dinner party given by Col J. L. Dodge. Four defense wit nesses testified that Green had no into"icants at the party.
 Johnsons testimony was the first direct evidence to support the gov ernment's charge that the suspend cd administrator diverted seized stock for use at the parties.
