His in- vestigation also disclosed that the fire did not start in the packing room as originally believed, but among cots in the basement.

BERLIN, January 23.—With a ten- tative vote of confidence in his pocket, Dr. Hans Luther, the new chancellor, is in a position to et the machinery of his nonpartisan bourgeois ministry in motion. The Reichstag vote of 246 to 160 yesterday approving the government's platform of foreign and domestic_policles, has, for the time being, cleared the political atmos- phere, and the temporary adjourn- ment of the Reichstag will enable the chancellor to co-ordinate his or- ganization without being exposed to further heckling for the present. New Phase of German Politics. The advent of the new government signalizes a new phase in German post-war politics, as it marks the appearance on the government bench of at least a half dozen cabinet members of Monarchial persuasion, while only 3 of the 10 members hold Reichstag mandates. ‘The fact that Chancellor Luther is tolerated by the “lericals and the Democrats is attributed solely to the impressive program with which he sought the Reichstag's support, but there is no question that while the cardinal features of this program represent a concession to the liberal parties, even including the Soclalists, these parties purpose keeping the new government under rigid surveillance. Not om Safe Ground. The Luther ministry's present ma- jority, it is pointed out, can be turned into ‘instant defeat through the de- feotion of former Chuncellor Marx's Clericals. This condition of an en- forced truce suggests to political leaders that Dr. Luther and his for- olgn minister, Dr. Stresemann, will be chary of risking the Reichstag’'s dis- favor.

Perhaps the Thrift Week radio talks had something to do with it, but the real reason is to clear our stocks of Wainter merchandise before our new business year, Feb- ruary 1st, and to have room for the new Spring clothing that will follow shortly after. Men tell us quite frankly that they aren’t buying over- coats now just for the eleven weeks of Winter ahead--- they’re buying them to wear next Winter. That’s why we say this is astory to be read by men who always pay a great deal more than fifty dollars for an over- coat during the regular season. Now, after you've read the following paragraph, tell us, have you ever heard of such overcoats at $49.50? Imported overcoats, made in England; full silk lined Montagnacs. New English Guards model overcoats, fly front and single-breasted box back coats. Famous Wo- rumbo Overcoats, Patrick Ulsters. All sizes, all patterns, many, many styles. ; Here’s a good comparison: If a man said to you, “Listen, I'll sell you a new Cadillac, list price, $3,549 completely equipped, for $1,800 if you’ll buy it now instead of waiting until next Winter,” would you buy it? \\\\\\\\‘Q Q‘\\ \ A \ Which is nowhere near the regular selling price of 224 of the finest Imported and : Domestic P-B Overcoats » \ \ \\\\\\“\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ladaaasasaasass *NATIONALLY |
