Beflin, Nov. 14.—(By the A..P.)—The cabinet of Chancellor Wirth resigned to- night after the unjted soclalists had voted not to participate in a coalition ministry which included members of the German people’s party. Dr. Joseph Wirth has been chancellor of Germany since May 10, 1921, when he took the head of the government on the resignation of Konstant! Fehrenbach. The Wirth cabinet tendered its resignation on October 22, 1921 but was reformed with a new personnel, headed by Wirth, two days later. P, Fow some time Dr. Wirth faced trouble- ous times owing to his ministry’s program with regard to reparations, the stabiliza- tion of the mark afid general economic and Internal and external. questions, to which the opposition parties in the reich- stag objected. ¥ A reorganization of the cabinet béen in contemplation for several week, but the stumbling block was encount- efed in obtaining a working arrangement between the socialists and the people’s Party. President Eberf last Friday au- thorized the chancellor to enter into im- mediate negotiations- with the leaders of the various parties in the reichstag with the purpose of inaugurating steps for the early reorganizaiton of the cabinet. The action of the president was in ac- cordance with. Dr. Wirth's desire to ex- #end the basis ‘of his coalition ministry, with a view. to increasing its pariiament ary, prestige. The authorization had been deferred until the reparations com- mission had concluded its inquiry into the German situation in Berlin = last week, On Monday the soclal democratic party addressed a letter to Chafcellor Wirth deelaring “the stabilization of the mark Was the most urgent question of German Policy and that the party would par- ticipate in a new cabinet only If it ener- Eatically pursued suph a policy.

P)— The German nbte to the reparations com- mission, made publie today, contends that final stabilization of the mark can only be possible after the reparations ques- tlon, I§s been definitely settled in ac- corda with Germany's capacity ' to pay. Since Germany canmot await such a final settiement, she proposes a provi- sional one, but, even to achieve this, forelgn assistance must be forthcoming. The reichbank is declared to be in: readi- nesis to place 500,000,000 gold marks at the disposal of the government for the purpose of stabilization. b The project, it is set forth, depends upon the following conditions First, Germany must.be freed for three o four years from all payments in gash or in kind under the treaty of Versailles, althéugh she will continue o make’ de- liverfes in kind for the devastated aréas 0 far as these do not entall any in- crease in her floating debt. Secot)l, Germany consjders she should receive @ minimum of 50,002,900 gold marks from forelgn banks. The foregoing condition the reichsbank considers necessary prior to giving: gold from its reserve. The monmey to be ad- vanced by K and the foreign banks will ba hdmin by an independent board. lon is Half the proceeds of the Internal loan And the full yield from the foreign loans will be utilized to cover the payments in cash gnd in kind due under the Versallles . and the other half of the pro- of the internal loan will be ap- to the requirements of Germany's ‘These measures, it is declared, will en- y to balance her bundget, cheek increase in - hor floating debt discontinue discounting _ treasury aith the reichsbank. | y moreover states that she will ,“adoption of the suggestions of —zmmfl 3 Germany, had | 1s deemed obviously impossible except through speedy rehabilitation of the coun- try or food credits from abroad. It eems 1o be generally taken for granted that both the credits and the food would have t0_come from America. The 800,000,000,000 marks represents Germany’s import requirements for the next twelve months of 2,000,000 tons of grain, the minjmum amount thought nec- essary to prevent starvation. Any at- tempt to buy this cereal in.a foreign market would, in the opinion of experts, cause a completo collapse of the mark, with seriows reaction in the exchanges of the 'other European countrjes. The only way in which Germany can be saved from such a problem, it is de- clared is by stabilization of the mark at a figure which would restore in a meas- ure, international confidence. All the allied nations, including France, redlize the seriousness of the situation in Germany, but no European country is able to export the needed grain becauss of domestic shortages. There is a possi- {Dility, the experts say, that some grain may be had from Russia, but America is expected to supply virtually ~all the German' needs. This food question raay serve to hasten an’ agreement among the allies concern- ing Germany's reparations, although up | to the present there has been no indica- tion that Premier Polucare hus cuensed his mind about the necessity of exact- ing further rigid guarantees as a means ot compelling the reich to meet its in- demnity payments. The reparations problem ‘is now in suspense until after the, British elections. WOMEN PICKETS ARRESTED AT BRITISH EMBASSY U Washington, ~ Nov. 14.-=Mrs.~ Muriel MacSwiney, widow of Terence MacSwiney, the lord mayor, of Cork. who died in prison on a hunger . strike, - and two others of nine women arrested for picket- ing the British embassy, today elected to rémain in_the house of detention over night and refused bonds for theic ap- pearance at a hearing before a United States commissioner tomorrow. The other six accepted bond furnished ‘| by Thomas W. Lyons, national secretary of the American Association for the Rec- ognition of the Irish Republic. of which the women ace members. Remaining with Mrs. MacSwiney were Mrs. Mary Ann Nolan of Jacksonville, Fla., who is over 80 years of. age, and Miss Minnie Kear- ney. £ The arrests were made soon after the women started their demonstration in protest at the detendon® of, Miss Mary MacSwiney, sister of Terence, who is a prisoner of the Irish Free State. The police, in taking them into custody, acted under a federal statute by order of U. S. District Attorney Gordon after they had issued a waening against picketing the embassy. The women Tefused to heed the warn- ing, however, and armed with banners protesting the imprisonment of Miss Mary MacSwiney marched to the embassy. and swung around the bullding. When they returned to the front entrance they were 'amrested by a squad of police and taken 10 headquarters, where bail\was fixed at $500 each. The arrests were made without commo- tion, ‘the women laughing and. chatting with the police Who seized their banners, while @ number of newspapermen who had been informed in advance of the pro-|: posed demonstration ldbked on as practi- cally. the only witnesses. - Just before en- tering police headquarters Mrs. Mac- Swiney succeeded in calling a halt and being photographed with the banners waving overhead. 2 Afl the women arrested. with the ex- ception of Mrs. MacSwiney and Mrs. Nolan, gave their addresses as Washing- ton. . Nolar was arrested in a suf- frage demonstration here some years ago and, refusing:dall, was held in jail for several daye. John F. Finefty, president of the Amer. ican Association for the Recognition of the Tristi Republic, who was retained by the women as, counsel, stated tonight that they would plead not guilty at the hear- ing tomorrow, on the grounds that they had violated no law. 5 In response to questions, Attorney Gor- don said there would be no attempt to make an eximple of the women prisoners i an ‘effort: to stop pleketing in Washing- ton, but every mrecaution would be taken to prevent similar occurrences before the ombassies and legations of forelgn pow- ors. At the same time, at the house of detention Mrs. MacSwiney and the other two women who clected to refuse bail.de- nied that they would attempt a hunger Ina) séatemerit -tonight Mrs. .

There was no indication at the close of the first hearing behind closed doors of another fight like that which marked the yassage of the bill last spring. The navy department, the budget bureau and Chairman - Kelley's sub-committee, con- ducting the hearing, were in full accord on_the enlisted personnel—s6,000—and theé same number of ships ast are now in commission. The construction program will continue and the question of scrap- ping holds over until all the powers have ratified the naval treaty. Members of the committee predicted the bill would go through substantially as it stands. Chairman Kelley ex- plained that since the_ house had fought 50 recently over the size of the navy and had fixed it at 86,000, there was no rea- son for a change, since nothing had de- veloped to make an upset Of the total seem necessary. It was understood the total appropri- ation asked for would be somewhat in excess of the $298,000,000 shown on the face of the last bill, principally because there was an unexpended balance on 'hand of $466,000,000 July %, due to the cessation of construction at the time of the arms conference. This $46,000,000 was not shown in the appropriation bil ra nd n- 00 a- he ion to n- a- he v he e - present fiscal year. Prohibition Commissioner Haynes wil appear tomorrow.

The appropei ation for enforcement this ear was about nine and a quarter million. The treasury bill also is expected to carry about $12,000,000 for refund of income taxes illegally cellected. The treasury recently annoumcsd that it would ask for $42,000,000 for refunds, and whatever amount is recommended probably will be put into a deficiency bill.

Mr. Hoover finds, are a tax upon the community stifling productlon, introduc- ing speculation and distorting price lev- els. Despite the lack of equipment, he maintains, American railroad mana ment is the most efficient in the world. Regulation in some form is necessary, he contends, but constructive develop- ment of this regulation—to preserve the initiative of railway executives and at the same time to secure public protection and assure adequate service—are vital and not necessarily - incompatible. “Natonalization would be a soclal and b; erstond brought economic disaster.” drafts of the report say. “Free operation would reconstruct the vicios practices of 39 years ago. The present tramsportation act possesses many constructive features and some weakness. It was the result of com- promises in many particulars and these very compromises are some of its weak- est_points.” Failure of the carriers to eamn the amounts provided under the act as fair return, Mr. Hoover asserts, d proves the “current fiction” that earin- ings are “guaranteed.” Wage contrgl #hd strike prevention phases of the dct are considered unsatis- factory by Mr. Hoover on the ground that faflure of the local adjustment boards for direct contact between em- ployers an demployes has thrust all la- bar disputes upon the railroad labor woard, resulting in practically govern- ment fixong of all wages and conditions of labor. “There can. be no question,” the re- port says, “that action in some direction imperative if industry and commerce are not to be further strangled by a shortage in transportation. ~Whatever may have been the sins of railroad fin- ance in the last generation we are not only suffering from them but we have maintained an attitude of bitterness in our public relationship to our railways for which we pay thrice over it pi tion of their proper development BUILDING COQLLAPSED UNDER THE WEIGHT OF ONIONS New York, Nov. 14.—Foun upper floors of the six-story Smith-McNeil building, a famous ~ old structure- in ¥ ington street, lowce Manhattan, col today under their buren of tons ‘of _onions, crashing to the groun flodr, kille ome workman an_ injure tnree others, Staccato reports gave warning of the collapse (o a score of men storing onjotts Regina, Sask., to withhold announcement that Saskatchewan on October 18 had applied to the dominion government for an order in councll closing out export liquor houses.
