GERMAN STRIFE : MAY FLARE UP TO STIR EUROPE Monarchists and Republicans in Irrepressible Conflict. By Milton Brunner T LONDON, April 15.—Just as in the 'United States, before the Civil War, 'any thoughtful man could see that there was an “irrepressible conflict’’ T>rewing between slave and non-slave States, so careful European observers jtoday fear that in Germany some Time In the next five years there will Joe an explosion due to conflict between the monarchists and the republicans. Y There is not a sincere adherent of 'the republic in Germany who is not tafraid of the machinations of the 'monarchists. When they look around they sec a country In [which many of the trump cards arc Jin the hands of the republic’s oneimies. * The biggest card in the hand of the [republicans is the sincere devotion to „the republic of tho masses of worktmen who belong to the Social DemoIcratic party and of the other masses Jof workmen and small trades who belong to the Center party. *1 Added to these are some big industrials and bankers who for mthc •backbone of the Democratic party. 1 The one big weapon of the workers in case of a “putsch’’ on the part 'of the emperor-lovers would be the '•general strike. It was effcacious at The time of the “Kapp putsch.” JWhether it would be efficacious again Is an open question. ", In the governmentitself, Gen. Hindenburg, a devoted Monarchist, ,is president of the republic. In the 'cabinet tho German Nationalists, 'who are monarchists, have four cabinet positions—more than any other Iparty in the coalition. They control Ithe departments of the interior, jus'tice and transportation, which arc %<ey positions against the republicans, i They have a strongly-supported Sand* very rich press. They have wealtli for propaganda purposes. $ Facilities of most of the universities are packed with monarchists, j Judges of most of tho courts still are monarchists. Fine Little Army Germany's armed force, the Reichs>:wehr, under the treaty of Versailles, is limited to 100,000 men. The momfbers have to serve for twelve years. It admittedly is the finest little army ;in the world. It is openly charged that before a „Tnan is allowed to enlist, his qualilljeations arc passed upon by an mi’official board composed of monarchists. * The officer corps is filled with mon'archists who swung over from their • old Guard jobs to their new places. Big Percentage of Nobles J Many of these monarchists are nobles who sigh for the good old jjdays. Out of 685 officers of the cav--alry, 265 belong to the nobility. Out >of 724 officers attached to the Reiehsjwehr ministry and group and divi- , sional staffs J 62 are nobles. * Out of 1512 infantry officers, 265 *are nobles. Out of 589 artillery offi•cers, 61 are nobles. Out of 42 gen•erals, 25 are nobles. Out of 105 col- • onels, 45 are nobles. " In the army as a whole at least 20 J per cent of the commanding officers -belong by birtli to a class hostile to republic. They are serving in • the army because soldering is the Tonly job they know and like. Worse in Navy • In a recent debate in the ReichTstag, General Heye, head of the “Reichswehr, admitted he knew there •were many officers who were monVarchists, but lie claimed they did their duty as soldiers. * In the navy things are even worse. Today Germany has a tiny and im*t potent fleet compared with ttie ‘‘mighty armada she had at the out- ' break of the war in 1914. Nevertheless Germany today has an admiral- . ty staff almost as big as in 1914: ;• There are 9,935 men in the navy.

U. S. Chinese Protest

AtON^j

The cause of Chinese Nationalism found expression in a big parade of Orientals through tiie streets of Philadelphia the other day. Here are a few of the banners the paraders carried. Scores of Philadelphia Chinese participated. Simultaneously, anew expeditionary force of Marines was being organized in the “City of Brotherly Ixne” for Chinese service.

To command these, there are 940 officers, 285 warrant officers, and 3,754 petty officers —an average of one officer for every two men! Nearly every officer, It is safe to say, either subscribes to monarchist, doctrines or easily could be induced to. Such is the monarchist alignment in tho Germany of today. Five.

DR. W. B. CALDWELL AT THE AGE OF 8 To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, 111., a practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated men, women, children. and particularly old folks, had to be kept constantly “stirred up” and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and nasty oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all headaches, biliousness, indigestion and stomach misery, he did not believe that a sickening "purge” or “physic” was necessary. In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to establish natural bowel “regularity” even for those chronically constipated. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin

EONG DISTANCE TRANSMISSION OF POWER CLAIMED Inventor Declares 1,000Mile Radius Possible — Discussion Aroused. ! Bn Time* Special WASHINGTON, April 15.—Anj nouncement of perfected apparatus ;to transmit electric power 1,000 miles has aroused much discussion here. While some persons are skeptical, others are predicting a general industrial upheaval. Heretofore the maximum radius has been less than 300 miles. Now

F. G. Baum, San Francisco electrl- ! cal engineer, is reported to have extended it at least for-fold by perfection of a condensing apparatus which eliminates most of the previous difficulties. Possibilities-of Plan .V practical 1,000 mile radius for power transmission would make I Niagara Falls power available in New Orleans, Muscle Shoals power available in New York and Boston, and power from the projected Boulder Dam available as far East os Omaha and as far Northwest as Seattle. In discussing the significance of the Baum invention, O. C. Merrill, secretary of the Federal Power Commission. said, “It's impossible to tell just what it will amount to at this tirpe. Tiie big factor in power transmission is cost and not what’s physically possible. A cheap system of long distance transmission would certainly have a great effect on the power industry, and on the location of industry generally, but just exactly what the Baum condenser does

to reduce costs isn’t entirely clear yet” Regulatory Problems Among the questions introduced by low-cost long-distance power ! transmission is that of the Federal j regulation by State utilities commissions. By a recent Supi'eme Court decision, power going across State lines was held to be free from State regulation. A 1,000-mile radius, it is argued, would make State regulation ineffective, and lead to Federal | regulation like that of the Interstate ] Commerce Commission in the case ! of railroads. 81) MILLION FOR GEMS WASHINGTON More money each year is spent by the American | people for precious stones. Last year the gems imported were worth $80,651,281, exceeding by five million tiie 1925 total. Diamond Imports alone during 1926 came to $51,000,000.

‘LAWLESS AMERICA’ German Professor Will Tell Students. ll<i 7 ii;!< * Special WASHINGTON, April 15. Students at the quiet little University of Jena on the banks of Saale river in Germany, will shortly listen in pop-eyed wonder when Dr. Wilhelm Ropke of the University faculty makes his first address on the subject, "My Impressions of America.” Ropke. who just toured tiie United States under the auspices of the Rockefeller Foundation, will explain that lie found great trouble in getting any sleep in Chicago because of what he termed “the rattling of the machine guns” at night. From Chicago Ropke gained the impression that the Americans, a resourceful people, have long since

found that rifles and revolvers are relatively ineffective weapons and that the truly scientific way to dispose of an aggravating neighbor is to lay a machine gun barrage on bis doorstepx^ The most’-vivid impression which Itopke obtained of America as a whole, according to his statements here, is the lawlessness of the country. . . ■ While willing to concede ChieagW preeminence in that regard, he found what he thought to be a lawless spirit in almost all states. COLLEGE TRAINED ITHACA, N. Y.—During the past eight years students of the New York College of Home Economics have eared for eleven babies and bad only one day of sickness among them in all that time. The children are temporarily adopted by classes studying baby care. The one day of sickness that spoils an otherwise perfect record was the investigation of a begonia plant by a boy. who ate most of the leaves.
