BERENGUER QUITS AS SPAIN PREMIER Alfonso Cancels Elections as . Liberals Block Plans and ® . Cabinet Resigns. By the Associated Press. MADRID, February 14.—The gov- ernment of Premier Gen. Damaso Berenguer, successor to the Primo de Rivera dictatorship, fell today, bringing to a head a crisis which appeared to be the most dangerous of any faced by King Alfonso in the course of his long Teign. The King, accepting the resignation of Gen. Berenguer and his cabinet, can- celed parliamentary elections which were.scheduled for March 1 and 15 and began conferences with political leaders with a view to formation of a new cab- inet, If was not certain whether & new cabinet could be put together today or would require several days. Meanwhile the “Berenguer cabinet will continue. While the cabinet had been under fire from its inception in January, 1930, the situation which brought its fall de- | veloped only late last night, when the Count of Romanones withdrew support of the cabinet's election program. Liberals Block Plans. De Romanones, a former premier, and the Marquis de Alhucemas, both Liberal Monarchists, issued a statement that they would participate in the forthcom- ing elections because they believe that abstention would set a bad precedent, but that upon convening of the Cortes, or Parliament, they woud ask its disso- lution and convocation of a convention o write a new Spanish constitution. The election program, which King Alfonso had decreed February 7, bring- ing parliamentary rule after seven years of dictatorship and virtual dictatorship, had already been under fire from ex= tremist elements, who had voted not to participate in the balloting. De Roma= nones, therefore, left the government with little backing with which to pro- ceed, Gen. Berenguer has been suffering re- | posed.

Immediately thereafter the entire cabinet convened with the King pres- ent to discuss the situation, and his majesty began conferences to find a new leader as quickly as possible. In view of growing republican agita- tion, the depressed state of the cur- rency and increasing internal dissatis- faction, the crisis was viewed here as most grave and one in which the throne itself is threatened. The King's problem now is to set up some stop-gap government until & new elections program can be worked out, and, equally important the issue of a constitutional convention can be decided. It is believed that the King wants no constitutional convention now. The new cabinet, it was indicated, will be composed of a coalition repre- senting all the monarchist parties. Admiral Juan Bautista Aznar ap- parently is being considered by the King for the premiership. He was minister of the navy when Primo de Rivera established his dictatorship, and since he has not been active in politics recently and is regarded as a political neutral.

In response to a notice from Prime Minister Clemenceau I went April 3 to Beauvais to meet with the Supreme War Council. This curious old town, not far from the active front, has much of historical interest. Arriving early, Col. Boyd and I strolled about and vis- ited the Cath and then had to wait an hour at the Hotel de Ville before M. Clemenceau and Lloyd George came into the conference room. Haig, Gens. Foch, Petain, Sir Henry Wilson, Bliss, Weygand and myself were the others participating. Foch Makes Address. Brig. Gen. Spiers acted as interpreter and Lieut, Col. Sir Maurice Hankey, who usually accompanied Mr. Lloyd Geqrge, as recorder. The meeting was finally ‘called to order by M. Clemen- ceau, who stated its purpose, saying in substance: . We have come together to settle & very simple question regarding the func tions of Gen. Foch. I think we are al in agreement as to the co-ordination of allied action, but there is some differ- ence in the understanding of Gen Foch's powers as conferred upon him at the Doullens Conference of March 2 Gen. Foch will explain his difficulties.” Gen. Foch then set forth briefly his situation, as follows: “The powers conferred by the Doullens A few minutes later, Miss Dorsch continued, she darted from the room | and ran downstairs Atchison prevented the. house She wr however, and climbed through a win-| dow, she declared | Miss Dorsch had taken only a few [ steps, she went on, when she collapsed | on the sidewalk.

I am in favor of conferring the supreme com- mand upon Gen. Foch.” | When I had finished Mr. Lloyd George the hand and said: “I agree fully with Gen. Pershing. This is well put.” Mr. Lloyd George asked for the views of Marshal Haig, who said: “We have had practically complete unity of action. I have always co- operated with the French, whom I re- gard as in control of the strategical questions of the war. I was placed d rectly under the command of Gen. Nivelle, and Gen. Petain and I have always worked well together. I agree with Gen. Pershing's general idea that I think we have had it.” The views expressed by Gen. Petain were practically the same as Marshal Haig’s, although I think they both re- alized the necessity of some definite co- ordinating control. As a result, after some further in- formal discussion, a draft of the resolu- tion was submitted which omitted ref- erence to the American Army. Where- upon I called attention to the over- sight, saying: “I think this resolution should in- clude the American Army. The arrange- ment is to be in force, as I understand it, from now on, and the American Army will soon be ready to function as such and should be included as an entity, itke the British and French ar- mies.” “There is no American Army yet as such,” Gen. Petain interjected, “as its units are either in training or are amal- gamated with the British and French.” General Pershing Objects. “There may not be an American Army in force functioning mow,” I replied, “but there soon will be, and I want this resolution to apply to it when it becomes a fact. The American Government is represented here at this conference and in the war, and any action as to the supreme command that irfcludes the British and Prench armies should also include the American Army.” ‘The foregoing account of the confer- ence may not be an exact record of the language used, but is given as my aid took it down. | read and adopted: “Gen.

It was the safeguard against the identity of any of the armies being dis- regarded. While the powers of the al- lied commander in chief were thus de- fined, yet, under the agreement as adopted, unity of action was secured as far as was necessary for full co-opera- tion and the independence and initia- tive of the respective armies were pro- tected. ‘The designation of Gen. Foch as éommnnder in chief of the allied armies in France was proposed by the French. April 15 I received a letter from M. Clemenceau advising me that Mr. Lloyd George had approved the sugges- tion and asked if I agreed. I replied in & personal note expressing my agree- ment, subject to the confirmation of President Wilson, which came April 17. Once the question of supreme com- mand was settled the co-ordinated en- ergies of the allied armies could be di- rected with maximum effect toward a common end. While dark days were still ahead, we were spared the chagrin of inefficiency through lack of team- work. With unity of command, and the still more important fact of almost unlimited ~ American reinfdrcements looming on the horizon, the chances of allied success were much improved. Yet scarcely had the appointment of Foch been announced than considerable outsposen dissatisfaction among the British began to appear. One newspa- per, the Globe, supposed gt that time to represent the views of the British high command in the field, said: “Our objections to a generalissimo (which we believe to be shared by our readers and by practically all English- men outside the war cabinet and its press) remain. They are not so much military as political. Any generalissimo is the servant of the state that appoints him. Consequently, such an office in- volves (the possibility) that the. allied army passes under the control of for- eign politiclans. * * * Indeed, the feeling on this side of the Channel is so strong that we may safely assume that the appointment of that honored soldier, Gen.

She knew there was no way of passing the gray tweed arm that seemed thrown across the balustrade so lightly. She tried, nevertheless. “No wonder your mother says the Kingsways are steel,” she said, ruefully. “Ah, let me pass, Ethan. I'm on an errand.” “So am 1" he said. “My errand is to convince you that you are dreadfully needed in’this house. Whole time, not part_time.” ” Dissatisfied with my services?” m;;’l‘!wrougmy!

And I always want to know what's inside letters, and I get stopped. Ethan's slim, long hand, with the | gold signet on the little finger, pushed the letters to Helen, facing Patricla. “I'll tell you,” she consoled the child. “This letter is from my sister Jessica, I can tell by the postmark. And this one is”—she had to tear it epen to find out—*“from a man who wants to sell me beautiful hats by mail for $3, if I'll sell some raincoats for him.

He hadn’t wanted to marry Nina, and had no feeling about her beyond the calm neighborliness a man has for a woman he has known some time. “You don’t owe your cousin anything, my dear.” Ada said in a low voice as they rose from the table, “Read your letter, and don't worry.” Ethan helped his mother back up- stairs, Patricia flew out of the roof after the evasive Luella, who knew mealtime very well and was a most de- voted and charming cat until they were over, when he relapsed into his ordi- narily warlike state. Helen went into the library to read her letters. ‘The one from Jessica was just the usual weekly letter; full of news about Lester and the little apartment, and the bridge club, and shopping, and small worries about the approaching baby.

COTTON MILLERS MAY BAN NIGHT SHIFT Textile Institute Head Expech] Rule on Children and Women by March 1. By the Associated Press. Operators of 70 per cent of the coun- try’s cotton mills have agreed to do away with night work for women and children on March 1, if 5 per cent more of the mill owners will join them. This word was taken to President Hoover by George A. Sloan of New York, head of the Cotton Textile Institute, who added his organization’s hope and belief that gaining the addi- tlox:jl number of supporters was as- sured. After the White House conference, in which Secretary Lamont took part, Sloan issued a statement saying droj ping night work for the women and children would not cause any serious dislocation of labor, as all has been prepared for the change. He said the President had offered sympathetic support for the movement. Elimination of this night work has had the aid of the Government's trade ald gmups ever since it was first pro- posed. Sloan also told the Chief Executive conditions in the cotton manufacturing industry had improved considerably, with sales of yarn and cloth for the first six weeks of the year 20 per cent '| in excess of production.

And then she braced herself for the reading of Nina’s letter. When your cousin leaves you with the calmly stated purpose of marrying a man, and that man returns from abroad and tells you it was you he had been in love with for some years, you may feel trium- phant or guilty, according to your tem- perament. Helen felt guilty. And she cared for Nina. (To be continued.) 1931 REO Demonstrators We have several Reo Flying Cloud 8-cylinder Sedans used for demonstrating purposes— run very little.

After searching for his master since Monday, Tip, the 5-month-old police puppy of Capt. Eugene A. Regnier of the State Department, is still missing from his temporary home at the ken- nels of Secretary of State Stimson, at ‘Woodley, 3000 Cathedral avenue. Tip's fashionable dog friends spread the evil rumor that the police pup had tired of the official routine of high so- clety, but those who know him better were quick to say that it-was anxiety over the absence of his master, de- tained at his hotel for several days by I‘llnm. that caused him to take French eave. Capt. Regnier had paid Tip daily visits at the Woodley Kennels until he became too ill to leave his rooms. Tip waited patiently for several days and then the longing to see his master again made him indiscrete. He wan- dered out of the kennels Monday to call upon the captain at the nearby Wardman Park Hotel. The white tip of his tail, as beauti- ful as a Prince of Wales plume at a court presentation, waved gayly in the breeze as he trotted off down Cathedral avenue. He never reached his destination—or at least not the apartment of his master. Like pupples of his high degree, Tip has a fancy for lifting one ear when he lowers the other, a habit he will drop when he js older and knows bet- ter, when he will lift both orifices to the heavens. ‘The Secretary of State and Mrs, Stimson are fond of the tender devo. tion of -Tip for his master, and are ready to welcome him back to their kennels at any time without further apology from him.

LINCOLN, Nebr.,, February 14.—The right *of the United States Senate's Campaign Funds Committee to investi~ gate primary election campaigns was challenged yesterday by attorneys for Victor Seymour, Republican leader, ine dicted for perjury in connection with his testimony before the committee last year. Attorneys for Seymour, who formerly was in charge of the Republican Nae tional Senatorial Campaign Commit- tee's office in Denver, filed a demurrer to the perjury indictment in_ Federal Court. The demurrer, signed by T. S. Allen and Robert W. De Voe, counsel for Seymour, asserts that the United States Senate resolution under which Senator Gerald P. Nye, chairman of the committee, conducted hearings in Ne- braska last year was in violation of Article 1, Section 4, of the Consti- tution of the United States, which de- {llnes the power, of Congress over elec- ons. The indictment of Seymour and George Norris, then a Broken Bow grocer, for perjury by a Federal grand Jury resulted from the testimony at hearings conducted here by Senator Nye into the Nebraska Republican senatorial campaign. Grocer Norris filed as_a candidate against Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska, but the grocer's filing later was held illegal and his name did not appear on the ballot. NYE NOT WORRIED. Points Out That Justice Department Will Prosecute Nebraska Case, Asked to comment on the action in Lincoln, Nebr., challenging the right of his committee to investigate primary election campaigns, Chairman Nye of the Senate Campaign Funds Commit- tee said: “I wouldn't consider that the Depart- ment of Justice would be alarmed great- 1y about that.” ‘This department will handle the prosecution of Victor Seymour, Nebraska Republican leader, on a perjury indict- ment handed down after Seymour testi- fled before the Nye committee.
