NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS I • ' \» Campaign Fund Figures Are U ncovered—Dissolution of German Reichstag. 4 By EDWARD W. PICKARD ^KNATOU iiOUAirs campaign fund Investigating committee, liavlng shifted the scene of operations to Washington, spent a busy week main ly in Inquiring into the truth or falsity of/the charge made .by Senator La- Follette and his attorney, Frank I*. .Walsh, that there Is a conspiracy to raise between ten and twelve million dollars to secure the'election of. Cool- idge and I>awes. Attorney Samuel I’ntermyer was associated with Walsh in the cross-examlnaWonrof witnesses, the most importarit of whom were Pennsylvanians. It is from their state, according to the LaFolletfe charges, that much of the alleged slush fund is expected. These Pennsylvanians, among whom were S. M. Yarn-lain, president of (he llaldwln Locomotive works; K. T. Stotesbury, Philadelphia partner of J. P. Morgan & Co.; Joseph It. JJrundy, president of the t^tate Manufacturers' association and autiior of letters so liciting campaign contributions; and Chester W. Hill and Nathan T. Fol- well of IMdladelplda, testllied with apparent frankness concerning their efforts to raise money for the Repub lican campaign and concerning their own contributions. They said they were not ashamed thus to aid their party. Mr. Grundy and Mr. Hill said they had raised $3df>,000 in the eastern part of the state and were still going ahead. Senator Caraway sought, to develop that the contributors were “government beneficiaries," but Mr. Grundy said the list to whom letters had been sent had been bought from an addressograph company. “Pretty good letters,” commented Senator Caraway. “Worth $3(k r »,000. You say you are grateful for the laws passed under the Republican admin istration. You mean the tariff?’’ “No. All the laws.’’ Mr. Yam lain said; “I am not ashamed of the Republican party. It never entered my bead whether it would take ten or tifty millions to win the election.” "Money talks?” asked the sarcastic Mr. I nterlayer. “No, sir; righteousness talks. I have confidence enough in the work- in^ {icnjiL* tif thiv ‘‘“'inirv tu iVH thut' they will not be hoodwinked by any thing. The American workingman votes straight.” ‘"ion feel that you speak for the workingman?" asked Attorney Walsh in amazement. ''1 es. 1 do not speak for Mr. Sam uel Gompers. 1 -haven't the slightest fear of LaFollette. I feel that it 'von t take more than one hay wagon to haul away his votes!" '1'. Y. ('Voundr, via led a party of labor inert to Washington to tell Mr. Coolidge he had their support, 1 v T as’' asked eoneerning the expenses of that trip. He said he advanced the moneyi- and was reimbursed by Joseph Ryan ; . vire president of the longshoremen's union, and that each aapi had paid his share. Mr. o'Cennor was also questioned about Ids intimation, in a speech at RulTalo, that LaFollette was receiving Soviet money from Russia through Mexico. He admitted lie had no information to support this but *'-f*aitnt wits "common rumor” and lie believed it. having heard it from crews of boats returning from Russia. Willianj Knox, president of the American Rankers’ association, wired the committee a flat denial W the charge made by Attorney Walsh that a political fund to defeat LaFollette had been raised at the meeting of the association in Chicago. He said no request lias ever been made by the association for funds for political pur poses. Mr. Stotesbury, whom Walsh named as the chairman of the commit tee to raise this fund, denied all knowl edge of it. B EFORE hearing ail this testimony, the Borah committee called Na tional Chairman Clem Shaver and Na tional Treasurer James W. Gerard to tell about the Democratic campaign fund. Mr. Shaver said the national committee hud received only $348,440 to date, was already $48,000 in the hole and expected to end the campaign with a deficit of about $130,000 unless it is pleasantly disappointed by more liberal contributions. Mr. Gerard Identified some of the larger donors to the fund, including T. L. Chad- bourne, Harney M. Baruch and Henry Morgenthuu of New York, (’. C. Wat son of West Virginia and Mr. Gerard himself. He cheerfully told the com mittee that he and ills associates would gladly 'spend a million and a half if it were given them. LaFollette’s campaign fund, it seems, Is not at all large, hut that ills managers would gladly accept and spend more is made evident by a for mal statement of Attorney General Ekem, treasurer of the third party. He appeals for contributions without placing any limit thereon, and says: “If our friends come forward liberally now we can put tills tiling over.” Last week LaFollette and Wheeler turned their attention to the eastern states, especially New Y’ork, for, as Mr. Ekern said, “We are now assured of enough states In the West to prevent the election of Coolidge.” The fight among the three parties for New York's 43 electoral votes is exceedingly hot. If ly took complete control of the city, cutting communications and closing tlie gates. A proclamation was issued stating that General Feng did not wish to make war and had called a confer ence between the government and the Manchurians. It was said he also de manded that President Tsao Kun re sign, and reports from Tokyo said Tsao had fled from Peking. Earlier in the week General Chang fought two bloody battles with the Peking forces in the Shanhulkwan re gion and, according to the most reli able reports, defeated them with heavy losses. Part of the Manchurian army reached the sea near Chinwang- tao and thus had about 15,000 Peking troops virtually surrounded.

Mr. Davis predicts that LaFollette will carry six or eight states, all normally Republican. G ERMANY is to have a general election December 7, when a new reiehstag wilt tie chosen. The pres ent reichstag was dissolved on Monday of last week by President Ebert be cause Chancellor Marx had failed so to reorganize the cabinet that lie would have a working majority in the legislative assembly. It will he remem bered that the Nationalists consented to vote for the Dawes plan laws on condition flint they should have three seats in the cabinet, that there should be a tax on Imported grains and that Germany should not Join the League of Nations unless her claim that she did not start the war was accepted. The government promised all this, hut found ’’difficulty in carrying out Its pledges, especially that concerning the war guilt. Also the various parties re fused to co-operate with Marx in the formation of the new cabinet, and he finally gave up. The Nationalist party, largest of the seven, has issued a proc lamation declaring in favor of the res toration of the monarchy and against tiie Versailles treaty and the Dawes e mean to create a new Germany, free from Jewish con trol." if the Nationalists should win control—which is unlikely—civil war might result, for the republican- -ele ments are prepared to support the re public with arms. Tiie German Industrial.magnates are trying to form a coalition of the •Na tionalists and People’s parties and offer a huge campaign fund for such a combine, pro\ idod it promises tiie res- as tiie Chinese, like.the Italians, never will tell on one another, the authori ties have great difficulty in sup pressing tiie outbreak. A TTORNEY GENERAL STONE, In a brief filed in the Federal court at St. Paul, Minn., seeks for "effective dissolution" of the International Har vester company’s alleged monopoly of tiie farm machinery business. The proceedings are supplemental to the consent decree in dissolution entered in that court in 1918. This, Mr. Stone holds, did not go far enough, and he asks that tiie court give proper pro tection “to the farmers and land own ers who are dependent upon agricul tural machinery and Implements ob tainable at reasonable prices.” Dur ing a test period which ended 18 months after the declaration of peace, according to the brief, eight of the Harvester company's competitors went out of business, and in 1922, tiie last selling season under the test period, the defendarit company’s busi ness actually Increased.

I N THE tiflal week of the British parliamentary campaign the situa tion was so Confused that it was al most impossible to predict the result of the elections, but it seemed no party would obtain a clear majority of the seats. Tiie united front of the Lib erals and Conservatives against Labor appeared to have broken down, many of the Liberals giving actual support to the right'wing of the Labor party. Great bitterness developed, there were many riots and various notables were heckled into silence at the meetings. ^HENANDoAH has been having coast, what with hard winds and fogs.

Thought U. S. Flag Was Solid Crimson Block Congressman A. Piatt Andrew, wear ing a Legion button, recently addressed the sixth annual convention of the American Legion at Pittsfield. Mass..

This caused Ralph Rob,art of Cambridge,.: cheer leader, to call for three and a tiger for the Gloucester buddy." vwwww%*www% • WOMEN MEMBERS ARE LIVE LEGIONNAIRES A bursting shell in tiie Uhafeau- Thierr* area overturned an ambulance hut tiie woman who was driving it was pulled out of tiie wreckage only slightly injured. That accounts for the fact that Mrs. J. W. Atkins is still ullv£—so much so that she,, Is counted one of tiie livest Legionnaires of which tiie Lowe-McFarlane post of tiie Legion, Shreveport, La., boasts. Tiie energy and spirit that enabled Mrs. Atkins to enroll many members in tiie Lowe-McFarlane post recently is tiie same she displayed in tiie great war. She served six months as an am bulance driver at tin*. French front with Miss Anne Morgan's famous unit, the American Uommlttce tor Devastated France, which did volun teer service with tiie Third French army. Mrs. Atkins, if she so minded, could relate many vivid and thrilling stories of her experiences while driv ing her ambulance and earing for tiie wounded. Site was at tiie battle of Chateau Thierry where her ambulance was overturned hy a shell. "We were there to help and net to be helped and performed service just as a man." Mrs. Atkins says. She did all tiie re pair work on her ambulance that did not require tiie service of a skilled mechanic, (in one occasion she re paired 17 punctures in one day cn her machine. N'cr Is Mrs. Atkins tiie only woman member of which Lovve-McFar- larie post boasts. Many years ago a sparkling little girl plajing outside tin* walls of St. James palace in London caught tiie eye of a prince who called tier to him and gave tier a string of heads, say ing: "Y’ou’re a bright little girl; here take these heads to go with your bright ness."
