Thus the wuorld May soon witness a reopening of the | grcient fued between northern znd southern German While cooler spirits admit the sit- uation is loaded with dynamite, t sull see hope of averting this civil war. Others believe that at best it can only be postponed. While the re- bublican north can count on the sup- pert of Saxony, Thuringia, Baden and | probably of Wuerttemberg in the south, the monarchist south is far | from being without supporters in tae | north. In East Prussia, Mecklenburg. Fomerania and Hanover the monarch- fsts are commanding the almost solid | support of the peasantry as well as | the adhesion parts of the city popu- Jution. Resent Latest Taxes, Peasants throughout these sections ave been incited by nationalists and fascista propaganda to refuse to meet | the new heavy taxution payments and are now in a mood to defy the government to collect from them. Be- | cause of the economic weapon they | wield through control of the food supply they may be in a position to| starve the capital ! riends of the government declare much will depend on the strength it can show at”the decisive moment when the Bavarian government will issue a proclamation before the Bavarians deliver their blow, all the ministe being agreed that the onus for provoking the struggle should be put squarely where it belongs. On the other hand, the government is| prepared to put up a bitter fight, and | is confident it can crush the mon- grehists With a quick. decisive blow. The burden of Prussian defense will rest chiefly on two men, Presi- dent Ebert and Herr Severing. Prus- sian minister of the interior. who | within recent months has won a reputation for fearlessness, resolute- | pess and energy. Ebert. too, has shown on previous occasions he fs a dangerous man to deal with when his ire is aroused and that he is as good | a fighter as he is a tactician, i Berlin Garrison 30,000 i Behind Severing stands Minister of | War Gessler and Gen. Von Sekkt, | commander in chief of the army. The Berlin garrison, some 30,000 well | trained troops under a commander | loyal to the republic, will be at the! govesnment's disposal should the | situation threaten to get out of hand. | It is significant that the monarch- ists have chosen Nuernburg for their show tomorrow. for Nuernburg it-| elf. being the chief center of north- ern Bavaria, is regarded as a socialis: stronghold. ' If the monarchists mean business theware apparently inclined ¢ fo carry the fight straight into the| enemy’s territory. The poss on of Nuernburg, which is the chief rail- road center of northern Bavaria, would be of great importance to Hit- ler, as the city controls the railway approaches to Munich. | Monarchists’ Task Hard l While the seriousness of the situa- tlon must not be underestimated, nl i§ not at all unlikely that tomorrow's celebra of Sedan day may only | the beginning of the mon- waterloo, for while they | umulated considerabley strength since the Ruhr occupation | and particularly during the last few | weeks, they are by no means strong enough to win an easy victory, if cvidences count for anything.

SWAMP RECLAMATION . PLANNED IN BAY STATE: About 500,000 Acres Now in Bogs, Agricultural Expert Says. BOSTON, September 3.—The trans- formation into pastures and market | gardens of hundreds of acres of swamp lands_and submerged areas| is forseen by John W. Plaisted of the | Massachusetts department of agri culture under the state drainage ' reclamation law pased by the 1923; legislature i The wet lands of the state. it is} estimated, cover from 300,000 to 500.- 000 acres, and range from small-sized | bogs to one large swamp of 7.000! acres. Many accessible swamps can be | drained and tilled, Mr. Plaisted points | out, and the soil may be made to! produce crops of hay, vegetables or| pasturage. thus helping to meet an| ever growing need for agricultural fand in these days of rapidly expand- ing towns and cities. Financing has been the main prob- Tem in former reclamation projects in Massachusetts. The present law pro- | vides three separate methods: Funds| may be raised by assessments in a} given district and deposited with the | state treasurer; the members of the district may vote to incur.debt. to be | Tiquidated according to the terms of the law or the old method of financ- ing by appropriations by county com- missioners may be adopted. The law is held also to apply to! lowlands in need of irrigation, and it i believed that such territory may be developed with the district methods outlined. The intent of the act is de- clared to be to help the people to help themselves. It is a private mat-| ter supervised and encouraged by the state, and according to agricultural! authorities represents a movement of the greatest promise.
