Wirth Is Certain to Retain
Chancellorship; Return
of Bavaria to Council
Also Expected This Week
By Joseph Shaplen
Special Cable In The Tribune

BERLIN, Sept. 25.?The new govern?
ment ccahtion intended to bring the
People's party into an alliance with
the Centrists and Socialists will be
launched this week. The first step
will be the calling together of the party
leaders to-morrow by Chancellor
Wirth. At this conference tentative
proposals for rebuilding the cabinet
wiil be discussed.
There is no possibility of Chancellor
Wirth's retirement, the Majority So
ciaMsts havir,;-- made this clear at their
convention at Gocrlitz yesterday when
Otto Wells, chairman, stated emphati?
cally that the Socialists were deter?
mined to stand by Dr. Wirth and were
bot willing to, enter into any combina?
tion entailing his crimination.
Georg Bernhard, writing in to-day's
"VossiscHe Zeitung," emphasizes this
point. He says:
"Tho general offensive undertaken
against Chancellor Wirth on a wide
front has been shattered. The game
is up. The new great coalition is as?
sured. It is impossible as yet to out?
line the new German government, but
indications are that a reconstruction
of Minister-President Stegerwald's
Prussian government will precede
changes in the national cabinet.
"One thing seems certain?Dr. Wirth
will retain the chancellorship, and he
also probably will retain the finance
portfolio until h i s taxation program
goes through the Reichstag. Should
the conferences which begin' to-morrow
result satisfactorily Dr. Wirth will
present the matter of a reconstruction
cabinet to President Ebert.
"Another development of great im?
portance expected this week is the
/ lifting of the state of martial law in
j Bavaria and the return of Bavaria to
/ constitutional government. The con
f ferences of the last three days be?
tween Count Lcrchenfcld, the new
Bavarian Premier, . and Chancellor
Wirth have resulted in a complete un?
derstanding. Without, rubbing it in,
the Chancellor has forced Bavaria to
capitulate all along tho line.
"Thus the long-standing conflict be?
tween Munich and Berlin may be re?
garded as ended."

LONDON, Sept. 25.**? In both interna- ?
tional and domestic affairs this week j
promises to bring forth decisions of|
profound importance to every class in
Great Britain. Premier Lloyd George
lis still on his vacation in the Scottish
Highlands, but he is giving personal at?
tention to three pressing problems.
The government has had no greater j
task in the last three Years than solv- ?
;
ing the tremendous probicm of finding
relief for the widespread unemployment, i
Some method of casing the present ten- j
sion must be found quickly or there is
: real danger of a series of unpleasant
demonstrations.
Then, the Irish situation cannot be
left where it is without jeopardizing
the possibility of a settlement of the !
long-standing differences.
Finally, important decisions must be
made regarding the Washington con
: ference on the limitation of armament,
now only six weeks distant,
.lobs Probicm Most Pressing
Naturally the British are most inter?
ested in the problem of unemployment,
for it affects them intimately and is
easily visualized, but they are also
following the Irish negotiations closely. '
Thus far, except among the labor lead- ?
ers, little interest has been shown in
the plans for the Washington confer?
ence, but some of the newspapers and
weeklies arc beginning to emphasize
the importance of the gathering Presi- ;
dent Harding has called.
The "Sunday Observer," which usu?
ally reflects the government view,
says:
"The. conference must succeed be- |
cause, for all the parties to it, it
were better that it had never been
called than that it should .fail. And
it must suc-eed if the world is to get ?
I on. The discussion in the assembly '
representing fifty nations of the world j
at Geneva shows that the world is I
waiting for it."
The "Observer" calls the armament :
1 conference a second peace conference
?"America's recovery of the initiative ;
, which was let go when Wilson lost ,
, power." But the "Observer" states
; flatly that there must be an under- :
'? standing regarding America and the j
! League of Nations, with which it is j
I clear "other nations will conduct
their business."
Although the Premier is concentrat?
ing on the problems of Ireland and
J unemployment, permanent officials in
? the State. War and Navy buildings iii
Whitehall have been closely studying
the Washington agenda, and when j
Lloyd George calls a Cabinet council at j
the end of this week, or the beginning;
of next he will have reached a clearly :
defined policy for the government's i
delegates to follow.
First Interest in Far East
Already it is apparent that Great !
J Britain's first interest will be a po
) litical settlement for the Far East,
! and unless the conference can come
j to an agreement on this, little progress
: will be made toward reduction of
r armaments.
To those who have been studying the
: ager.ila, the only logical method seems
j to be the discussion at the outset of all
; questions arising in the Pacific.
Andrew Bonar Law is now almost cer
| tain to head the British delegation if
his health permits him to make the trip.
Winston Churchill may be one of his
colleagues, and Sir Eric Geddes also is
: likely to be a member of the delega
I tion. Much depends on the progress
1 that will be made in handling the un?
employment and Irish problems, but
j whatever happens, the government in
; tends to be represented by a strong
i delegation.

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.?The time situa?
tion will be further complicated tc-mor

Eastern Standard time. Chicago will
not resume Central Standard time until
the last Sunday in October. So Chicago
' and New York will be going to work at
the same hour for a month. The Chi?
cago Stock Exchange, in order to con
; form with the resumption of Standard
time in the East, will open one hour
later, at 10 o'clock, and close at 3, until
Standard time is resumed here. Local
banks will make no change in their
hours.
Sveial Disvatch to The Tribvv?
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 25.?Philadel?
phia clocks slipped back one hour this
morning and the official Philadelphia
time changed from daylight saving to
Standard without perceptible effect on
the citizens. Residents gratefully
seized upon the extra hour of sleep.

were preached on Standard time, re?
gardless of the fact that half the con?
gregation had forgotten to discard day?

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 25. The Yuca?

journment Saturday, repealed all the
laws, ri-solutionx and decrees of pre?
vious legislatures by a single vote.
This leaves many gaps which are like?

more or less disturbed about the pro?
posed renewal of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance. When the alliance was first
made there seemed, so far as could be
observed from here, to be good reasons
for it. Renewal this year, however,
seemed to have no object with which
the United States was in sympathy.
Many of the yellow papers painted the
thing frankly as an alliance against
the United States.
The truth was that the allisnce ?rave
Japan a feeling of security in actions
in the Far East, and an assuredness
that the United States, no matter how
it might protest against violations of ?
what this government thought was ?
right and proper in that part of the
world, would never go to the extent of ,
declaring war.
Not. only was Japan's backbone stif
fened by the alliance, but, because of
Cue fact that Britain was the only other |
country in the world besides the United j
States which could seriously threaten j
Japan, and particularly the only one
which had largo interests in the Par ?
East, and her alliance with Japan made I
it difficult for her to make serious !
protests against any of Japan's actions, I
the United States was left as the only!
country in the world which could and
would voice these protests.
Therefore, in Japan, the United
States has seemed for some time to be
the only nation in the world which was
standing athwart what Japan regarded j
as her natural path to the accomplish- j
ment of her ambitions. Anti-American |
feeling, inflamed by the jingo press.
was rapidly mounting as a result of j
this situation.
Imperial Conference Resulta
But then came the imperial confer-1
ence at London, and Harding's oppor?
tunity. At this conference of the pre?
miers of the British Dominions it was
at once manifest that the renewal of
the Anglo-Japanese alliance, which was
to expire next year, but which runs
on until it is denounced, was bitterly
opposed by four of the great dominions.
The Premiers of Canada, Australia,
New Zealand and South Africa all de?
clared in public statements?not con?
tent with their assertions inside the
conference ? that the Anglo-Japanese
alliance must not be renewed except on
terms satisfactory to the United States.
These dominions naturally have sym?
pathised with the United States on
American opposition to Japanese im?
migration and land holding, and they
wanted to make sure that in any con?
troversy which might arise between
Japan and the United States the British
Empire was not found arrayed on the
side of Japan. Mean Lime a sentiment
in England itself began to grow against
the alliance, greatly to the embarrass?
ment of the British Foreign Office.
which felt under great obligations to
Japan, and to the Japanese govern?
ment, which saw the advantages to
Japan from the Anglo-Japanese alli?
ance rapidly blowing out of the window.
Finally it was decided that the best
thing to do for every one concerned was
to do nothing at all, and the confer?
ence adjourned with the understanding
that the alliance would not be renewed
for another definite term of years, but
on the other hand it would run along
subject to the provision that it must
be denounce'! one year before it could
be actually abrogated.
So that the British Foreign Office
found itself rather impotent to carry
i ut what it regarded as its obligations,
and the Japanese found the Anglo
Japanese alliance a cracked staff which
might easily snap just at the moment
it might be most sorely needed.
But, the treaty not having been de?
nounced, the situation was still un?
satisfactory to the United States, es?
pecially as this government found it
practically impossible to achieve by
diplomatic means the restraint of
Japan desired in the Far East.
It was then that President Harding
proposed the conference, hoping to ac?
complish what has been outlined above,
and also the agreement by all the coun?
tries 1o cut down their expenditures
on armaments, so that taxes in all the
countries involved might be reduced.
At this point it is well to point out
that the greatest handicap with which
this country goes into the conference
is the pacifist sentiment. This govern?
ment is better able to keep up with the
armament race than any country which
will be represented at the conference.
It wants t"> reduce its own taxes, but
the need for so doing is not as im?
perative as in Britain, Japan, France
nr Italy. The pacifist sentiment, how?
ever, intimations from foreign capitals
indicate, is being counted up jn to force
this government to make concessions,
Japan is anxious to placate this
country on the surface if not in ac?
tuality. Only by this method can she
be sure of a genuine renewal of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance. But Japan,
which joined the conference probably
with more reluctance than any other
nation, will be fighting a defensive bat?
tle from the beginning.
She wants to hold on to everything
she ).*as gained and give up nothing.
She would like to refuse to agree to
every one of the points enumerated.
Further, she would like to complete
lier present naval building program,
despite the tremendous taxation it is
imposing on her people. This program
is called the "eight and eight" program
because it is grouped around eight new
battleships and eight new battle-cruis?
ers, all of which would be completed
by 1928. Indications from Japan are
that she will tight to the last ditch to
avoid abandoning this program.
China in the conference is the
saddest spectacle of all. She is not
even capable of having spokesmen
stand up and speak for a united China.
The Peking government is recogniied,
and will be represented, but the im?
portance of her representatives will be
tremendously discounted by the fact
that South China, through the Canton
government, is repudiating Peking and
declaring Peking has no right to rep?
resent the Chinese people at all.
China is anxious about Shantung,
and about the maintenance of the open
door. She fears and distrusts Japan,
based on long exp?rience, and wants to
be guaranteed that Japan will not be
permitted to seize lier territories.
Her only weapon, thou-jh that has been
a rather potent ono for the last year,
is the boycott against ?II Japanese
goods.

United States Ambassador to Japan,
! presented his credentials at court to
; day. llir, reception was an unusually
? brilliant function, and was marked
| with references to the coming confer?
ence on Far Eastern affairs and limita
! tion of armament.
i Owing to the illness of the Fmp*%r,
?Ambassador Warren was received by
I Crown Prince Hirohito, The text of
i his address to the Crown Prince was
j not made public, hut it was under
; stood the Ambassador expressed belief
that the conference would provide an
opportunity for a declaration of prin
i clples which would not limit the just,
?activities or nullify the just aspira?
tions of any nation, but would estab?
lish an understanding that would sta?
bilize the future and proYnote the eco?
nomic development of all nations con?
cerned, increasing the happiness,)
wealth and prosperity of the natioual3
of all interested states.
Escorted by Cavalry
In an informal conversation with j
the Crown Prince Ambassador Warren
voiced regret, that Hirohito had been ?
unable to visit the United States on his
recent trip to Europe and said it was j
hoped he would accept an invitation :
to go to America later. The Crown i
Prince replied that he would* be glad
of an opportunity to visit the United ?
States.
The ei tue staff of the American Em- :
bassy, numbering twenty-seven and ?
including several women, accompanied ?
Ambassadot and Mrs. Warren to the i
palace. They rode in court, coaches ?
and were escorted by a squadron of j
cavalry.
It was the largest embassy party
ever presented. After receiving Am?
bassador Warren's credentials, Prince
Hirohito presented the entire party,
consisting of secretaries, naval and
military attaches and the women, to
the Empress.
Hope for Better Relations
Welcoming Ambassador Warren, the j
newspaper "Yomi-Uni Shimbun," said |
tiie Japanese hoped he would do much j
toward improving relations between his I
country and Japan. He was urged to
grasp the sentiments of the Japanese
people generally instead of those of
only a limited section, chiefly repre?
sented by the aristocracy.
"When Americans understand what
\ the Japanese, people really are rela?
tions will undergo a marked improve
I ment," the paper declared.
It is understood that Japan's general
? attitude toward the November confer
i encc will be that of co-operation with
; the United States in the underlying
j spirit of the meeting, but in connection
' with the tentative agenda suggested by
the United States Japan may propose
mutual cassation of fortifications in the
Pacific, and with reference to Far East?
ern political matters propose tho open?
ing of the interior of China for the
| purposes of trade and residence and
; also to obtain food and raw material,
i considered so vital to Japan's exist
'? encc.
\ In this connection attention is called
to the contribution of Premier Hara to
! "The Diplomatic Review," in which he
! declared that Japan was prepared to
i discuss at Washington such fundamen
, tal theories as were necessary to se
| cure the opening of the world to all
? races and the removal of artificial bar
i riers for the security of the life, of
j all mankind, lie added that tho calam
j ?ties of war would not be entirely re
, moved until inequalities among na
i tions were removed.
Remove Economic Barrier
So long as one race looked down on
other races, raised unwarrantable, bar?
riers and gave discriminatory treat?
ment, he pointed out, it could hardly be
said that the cause of war had ceased
to exist. .No race, he asserted, should
adopt measures calculated to compel
the suicide of another race, while the
supply of materials necessary for the
clothing and feeding of mankind should
i be distributed by the various nationals
as equally as possible,
"If the whole efforts of a nation
must be devoted to obtaining food and
] no surplus energy is left for the ad
i vancement of civilization," continued
! the Premier, "the future of that na
I tion is indeed gloomy. Japan is faced
: by such a condition. The world should
i be thrown open so that the free, unre
, stricted transportation of supplies may
j be facilitated by the removal of ail
' artificial economic barriers."

BUDAPEST, Sept. 25 (By The As

cil of Ambassadors to Hungary, do- i
manding evacuation of Burgenland, is
regarded here as lenient because it I
grants a ten-day respite, pending which j
it is hoped a compromise can be j
reached with Austria.
It is felt that the "Little Entente"
is working for a peaceful solution of !
the difliculties. The reported sugges- j
lion of Hungary that Austria sacrifice!
Odenburg in exchange for peaceful j
possession of the rest of West Hungary
is cited as evidence that all parties
concerned are endeavoring to settle th?;
matter by a compromise.
Ibraham Kover, a former lieutenant,
was arrested in connection with the at?

insanity, but the police ?ieclarcd he

No League Aid for Russia
; Appeal to Powers Expected to
Prove Futile
GENEVA, Sept. 25-There is little
| probability that the Assembly of the '
League of Nations will do anything to
| ward relief for Russia. The sub- ?
j committee has decided to appeal to the i
i powers, but this seems useless, as it ?
j appears impossible to obtain govern- i
' ment credits. The situation has been !
influenced by the , news that Great
; Hritain has concluded not to offer any
i credits for tho Soviet government.

tion of an elaborate reception for the
international visitors. It has been de?
cided that no public celebration or
demonstration will be held, but plans
are being made for an elaborate illu?

scheme calls for the erection of a huge
electrically lighted arch in front of
the Capitol Building, while back of the
structure high powered colored lights
will be arranged to cast rays over the
entire city. From the Washington
.Monument flood lights will illuminate
many of the government buildings.
William Jennings Bryan. Secretary .
of Stale in Wilson's Cabinet, who vis?
ited Washington yesterday, will ret'jrn
to remain throughout the session of
the conference. He said he "hopes''
rather than "expects," that great things
will come out of the conference, and
he will discuss the situation by clay I
as it develops.
"I am greatly interested in the re-?
'? suit and am hoping for great things," |
Mr. Bryan said.
When it was suggested that he used
the word ''hope'' instead of "expeel
Mr. Bryan explained that "hope" was i
based upon desire, while "expectation" j
: was based upon information.
i "I have a larger fund of desire than
of information on the subject -of dis?
armament," he added.

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
Four centuries have passed
since Ponce de Leon sought
the Fountain of Youth m
America.
O? course, his quest was in
vain, but, could he return
today, he might fare better,
For, like millions of other
seekers after health and
happiness, he could visit the
CHILDS restaurants,
And there, with pure, whole,
some food, renew his youth
like the eagle.
