The position of the government to 1

pose the steamship the granting of con
the writ. ^
"This position was taken" said a ]y |
statement issued at the? department ^ho
because attorneys for the companies
are on November 13, entering a

HOPEFUL OUTLOOK

? \T _l?i. _i? Ti:4.4.?
tiuil ana warrison x\esDii 01 intta)urgh,
chairman of the finance comnittee,
met tonight in local headjuarters
and, after a canvass of the
iituation, announced satisfaction
vith the prospects. With the foregong,
Senator Walsh of Massachusetts,
:hairman of the senatorial campaign
:ommittee and Representative McUlintick
of Oklahoma, chairman of
;he campaign committee of the house
:onsulted. Senator Pat Harrison,
ffho has completed a speaking tour
n Oklahoma and Kansas and is now
;n route to New Jersey and Connecicut,
attended and reported on conlitions
in the section he had visited.
It was announced following the j
neeting that Democrats would great
y reduce the. Kepuoucan majority
n the house and may win the house, |
hat Democrats would hold their own j
n races for the senate with the in
lications favorable for gain of one
r two in the East. The leaders delared,
however, a woeful handicap
n lack of money and expressed coniction
that if they were able even to
end all available speakers into
loubtful districts and meet their reluirement
for advertisement they i
rould certainly win the house.
It is learned that when the nation- i
1 committee renders some time this 1
sreek its', colledftons and disburse- <
lents, it will be shown that contri- ]
utions to both campaign committees 1
ind the national committee have to- 1
ailed not more than $100,000. The ,
Republican national committee will
:xpend $500,000.
More significant than the. actual 1
hortage of money are the desertions
>f liberal contributors who have kept ,
he wheels moving in past campaigns. ,
rhe receipts thus far have come al- ^
nost entirely from the little fellows
vho always can be counted on for 1
lonations of $1 to $100. _ ;

GERMANY FACES
SERIOUS TIMES
FOREIGN FINANCIAL EXPERTS
TO BERLIN?FIRST DAYS %OF
NOVEMBER MAY AGAIf
PROVE FATEFUL, THE NEWS
PAPERS THINK.
Berlin, Oct. 26.?The first days o
November, which once brought revo
ution to Germany, again may prov<
i fateful section of the calendar fo:
:he republic, in the opinion of news
Japer commeiiiatuis uiavusamg i/w
lay the simultaneous announcement
:hat Germany has invited foreigi
inancial experts here to advise he
jn the question of stabilizing tin
nark and that the reparations com
nission alse is coming to Berlin.
The coincidence of the two lates
ievelopments in Germany's turbu
ent financial situation,' says, th
Bpersen Courier, makes it look as i
;he authorities on both sides wer
'trying, to beat each other to it" oj
spipe definite decision. The newspap
ir .holtjs that the government's invi
iation'to the international expert
$ at least a clever, political move
lince the affairs to be dealt with an
mcl} as the foreign countries . wil
ake a hand in anyway. The fac
;hat representatives of outside pow
?rs have been asked to look over con
iitions for themselves, the journa
ldds, will make it easier for Ger
nany later to oppose financial super
vision.
The Boersen Zeitung thinks "i
ings like a bad joke to hear that th
rery moment when the fall in th
nark has driven German finances to
;he edge of an abyss, the reparation
:ommission, under initiative of M
Barthou (the French chairman o
;he commission,) is breaking it
:ead over the question how t
squeeze a couple more billions o
paper out of the German peopl
;hrough new taxes."
"We fear that the efforts of Si
/'
John Bradbury (the British repre
sentative on the commission) in th
Face of such charlatans are experi
Bents directed toward a futile oh
iect," the newspaper concluded.
