have urged the nominee to head West
through the corn belt to the Pacific
Coast.
Before the Speaker returned to Wash
ington close associates revealed he eX-
pressed doubt as to the necessity Of
such a tour.
While he wants to do everything
possible for the success of the ticket,
said one of the Speakers associates
Mr. Garner feels there is no need for
such an extended tour. Should the
Speaker decide not to go West, he will
surely make several more addresses in
the Eastern half of the country. These
probably will De announced some time

BERLIN, October Is (P.-The Ger
man government declared in a COM
munique today that the attempt to
hold a four-power arms parley at Ge-
neva within the framework of the
League of Nations is contrary to COM
mon sense"
Germany recently withdrew from the
World Disarmament Conference at
Geneva in protest against the arms re-
strictions placed on her in the treaty
of Versailles. The attempt to move the
proposed four-power parley to Geneva
today's government statement said, is
plainly French maneuver to get Ger
many back to the (World Disarma-
ment) Conference table at Geneva"
The communique emphasized that
Germany would agree to no such plan
so long as her claim to arms equality
remained ungranted.
The new invitation to Geneva can
not but be felt as a humiliation" in
Germany, the statement said. The gov
ernment cited a speech at Geneva yes
terday by Rene Massigli of France as
showing plainly which way the wind
is blowing"
M. Massigli asserted that the German
security police as well as the German
standing army must be taken into con-
sideration in reckoning Germany's ef-
fective armed forces.

The German spokesman, DR.. Rosen-

PARIS, October 15.-Characterizing
Germany's refusal to take part in a
preliminary four-power arms conference
at Geneva as an affront both to France
and to the League Of Nations, govern
ment spokesman indicated today that
France was unlikely to agree to hold
the meeting in any other city.
The selection of Geneva was made
when Premier Edouard Herriot saw
Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald
earlier this week in London. Italy. the
fourth power that would participate in
the meeting, agreed with the French
and British that Geneva be the place
for the conference.
The French spokesman expressed
satisfaction that the British apparent
ly realize now the real portent of Ger
manys demand for equality in arma-
ments-namely, complete rearmament
and the creation of new army"
The newspaper LIE Temps urged that
the powers proceed with the Geneva
meeting. despite Germany's attitude
The military position of the Reich. the
paper argued, Is nXed by treaty anyway.
LIE Temps laid on Germany sole
responsibility for checking Prime Minis
ter MacDonald's plan for a four-power
equality demand. The Won Papen gov
ernment in Berlin, the paper declared,
has engaged upon an adventure which
only can turn against Germany's own
interests"
Both Great Britain and the United
States, the editorial in LIE Temps con-
tinued, already are disturbed by the
revival of a military spirit In Germany
which raises the threat of a new

SLASHES PLANNED
Move Independent of Arms
ParIey Aims at $780,
100000 Cut.

A move to bring about sharp re-
duction in the budget estimates of the
Army and Navy, it was reported yes
terday, is under way here, independent
of the outcome of the disarmament
conference. now apparently brought to
standstill by Germany's refusal to
participate in the Geneva meeting.
This independent drive is an out
come of President Hoovers instruc-
tions to departmental heads and the
Bureau of the Budget to reduce the
estimates for the next fiscal year by
50OoOo,Oo0 below appropriations for
the current fiscal year. Cvrtailment OF
$40 900 900 to s25,OOO,oOO from the bud
get of each of the two branches OF
the military service is predicted, but
that estimate is based on the belief
that the departments and bureaus OF
the Government will bear only about
$3.50, 100000 of the proposed $500, ,000,-
900 reduction, the remainder to be
taken from appropriations for veterans
relief.
S350,000,000 Saving Doubtful
Whether s35O,0OO,O0O can be saved
from veterans allowances, in view OF
political considerations. is regarded in
many quarters as highly doubtful. In
that case further cuts will be necessary
in departmental activities If the $780,
100000 program is to be achieved.
Differences of opinion involved in the
program have been urged on budget
officials in conferences already held, and
Senator David A. Reed, Republican, OF
Pennsylvania, chairman of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee. has served
notice that he will oppose again any
effort to reduce the commissioned
strength Of the Regular Army. It was
Senator Reeds efforts in the last
session Of Congress that prevented &C
ceptance of the House provision in the
War Department appropriation bill re-
firing 1000 officers of the Regular Es-
tablishment.
Reductions in Personnel.
Both the Army and Navy have been
cut too far in the desire to econo-
mize," said Senator Reed, fresh from
Europe and a first-hand view OF the
disarmament situation. II expect to
see a very strong attempt to cut the
officer personnel, as was tried last
year, and / also believe a reduction In
enlisted strength will be sought. This
would be disastrous, and I am confl-
dent Congress will reject such a pro-
posal"

the Budget and departmental officials

CRUCIAL SERIES
HOLDS SPOTLIGHT
in BIG LEAGUES
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Aug. "a. - The two
National League leaders, the Chi
cago Cubs and Brooklyn Dodgers,
between whom there is no love lost,
throttled their baseball machines
to top speed today for the opening
game of their crucial three game
series which will play an important
role in deciding the pennant race.
With a winning streak of four
straight intact, the Cubs entered
the series more than three games
ahead of the Dodgers and cannot
lose the lead even if Brooklyn
sweeps the series.
The opposing pitchers today were
Charlie Root, 33-year-old Chicago
veteran, and Van Mungo, 20-year-
old Brooklyn rookie. Root has
won 10 games and lost 9 this sea-
son. Mungo has won 10 and lost
8.
With Chicago's fans once more
united behind the Cubs since
Charlie Grimm succeeded Rogers
HornSby as manager, crowd of
nearly 10000 was expected for to-
days opener. Many fans who were
openly against the Cubs under
Hornsby's leadership are now solid
ly behind them under the highly
popular Grimm.
The Importance of the series, the
animosity between the players of
the two teams and the fact that
three former Cubs players are now
with Brooklyn are certain to make
this trio CT games the years bit
tereSt baseball struggles.
Both clubs are in the midst of
the most prolonged winning streaks
of the National League season,
spurts which have swept them past
the faitering Pittsburgh Pirates.
who three weeks ago had a game
lead and looked like certain cham
pions.
The Dodgers have won % out of
their last % games and the Cubs
have won IA out of 19 since Gyimm
was made manager in Philadelphia
August 2.
The three former Cubs-Lefty o.
Doul, Danny Taylor and Hack Will
son-have played leading roles in
the Dodgers rise. O'Doul is the
National Leagues leading hitter
with an average of .370. Wilson
has batted in 104 runs, being ex-
ceeded in this respect only by those
two sluggirg Ph:llies, Chuck Klein
and Don Hurst. Taylor's sudden
reversal of form after Hornsby trad
ed him to Brooklyn has been a rev.
elation to those who remember him
as a mere Cub reserve.
