During the last decade, the foreign

Cabinet Crisis Imminent.
Berlin. A crbinet crisis appears
imminent here as a result of the dis
content aroused by the government's
failure to consult the rrichstag before
naI.-ir!T President Hardinc. of the
United States, to mediate, between j
Germany and the allies relative to
reparations. The position of Dr. W al
ter Simons, foreign minister, is par
ticularly imperilled.
Further Pressure Possible.
Lympne, England. It is great Bri
tain's intention to abide by the provi
sions of the agreement arrived at in

Germany to meet her obligations in
this respect should be met with fur
tner pressure.

an urrent anneal "in the name of tht-
German government and the German
people."
The promptness with which Presi
dent Harding declined to undertake
the role of mediator and umpire oc
casioned little surprise in Washington
and was received with satisfaction by
the Allied diplomats.
The answer contained just 128
words. It said "the American govern
ment could not agree to mediate the
question of reparations with a view
to acting as umpire in its settlement.
Impressed, however, with the serious
ness of the issues involved as they af
fect the whole world, the government
of the United States feels itself to be
deeply concerned with the question
of obtaining an early and just solu
tion. This government strongly de
sires that there should be an immedi
ate resumption of negotiations and
reiterates Its earnest hope that the
firvmnn trovernment will promptly
formulate such p-opoaals as would
present a proper basis for discussion.
Should the German government take
this course, this government will con
sider bringing the matter to the at
tention of the Allied government in a
manner ncrfmt&hl to them in order
that negotiations may speedily be resumed."
That's what some men look for in clothes; a cheap

you really buy clothes for; you can't have either with
out good quality.
