COX TO LOSE LEADING ROLE -SULLIVAN Declares Ohio Governor Not Likely to Continue as Leader of Party Bryan ComeBack Unlikely. REVEALS INSIDE STORY

By MARK SULLIVAN WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 13. Such a multitude of things happened at the recent election, and so many of them were spectacular, that it was not surprising if the public finds itself wandering In a fog composed partly of fact and partly of surmise. In an effort to get rid of much of the surprise and bring the actual facts into their true relations, there is no point more convincing to start from than the present condition and future prospects of Democratic senators and representatives who will be In congress after March 4. What these leaders will do and what policies they have must appear in due course. For the present, let us consider a separate thing, the future of the Democratic party as a national organization whose chief function looks to the selection of a candidate for the presidency every four years. Committee Controls In this sense the controlling body of the party is the Democratic National committee. Whatever the party is to do officially must be done through this committee. Normally this committee more or less goes to sleep during the four years between elections, but it is understood that some elements in the party will undertake to bring about a special meeting in December or January to survey the conditions, take account of assets, and determine what to do about the next, four years. At that meeting it probably will appear what element in the party is likely to be dominant and just what individual is likely to assume leadership. About this last point, there is much talk that is the sheerest surmise and goes far afield from the facts. In one quarter it is said that Cox will continue to be the leader; in another that Bryan is going to come to line in Washington and take charge of the Democratic party; in another that the friends of Mr. McAdoo are going to b dominant In the National committee. Ended With Deficit. To consider these possibilities intelligently, one starting point as good as any other is the hard, definite, and insistent fact that the Democratic organization ended the campaign with a loan due at the bank for $150,000, and other bills aggregating nearly the same amount, a total deficit of nearly $300,000. That deficit is there. Somebody must pay it. My observations have been that the persons who make up a deficit under such circumstances usually have a good deal to say about the future management of things. Money talks. It talks as much when it is in the form of campaign contributions as anywhere else. This deficit of nearly $300,000 is the most concrete and urgent fact in the Democratic situation. To be sure, deficits are no novelty with either party. But this is a deficit with a failure. There is all the difference in the world between a deficit plus success and a deficit plus failure. Deficit Four Years Ago. The Democrats ended their campaign four years ago with 1 a deficit of over twice the present sum. But they were successful then, and a successful party need have no trouble about meeting a deficit By that same token the Republicans right now have a deficit over five times the Democrats.' a deficit of $1,600,000. But the Republicans are the successful party. It is the Democrats who should worry I don't doubt that if the Democrats bad the necessary machinery, they could make up their deficit of $300,000 through small contributions from a large number of individuals. There are plenty of loyal Democrats, but the trouble is the Democratic National Committee is not in a good state of organization and has not got the rather elaborate mechanism which alone can collect large sums in small contributions. Under these circumstances, (Continued on Page Two) Dublin Woman is Fatally Injured by Burns Friday DUBLIN. Ind.. Nov. 13. Lillian Howrien. T0 years old, died at 11:150 p. m. Friday from burns sustained about noon Friday when her clothing became ignited while , stirring up a fire in a soft coal heater. Miss Howrien had been blind since early youth.

America and Japan Agree On Labor Problem Solution By Associated Press) TOKIO, Nov. 13. Newspapers of this city report the Japanese and American governments have reached en agreement in principle relative to the exclusion of Japanese laborers from the United States. It is asserted however, that there is a disagreemeni regarding the methods to be employed. America is understood to desire the provisions for exclusion embodied in a treaty, but Japan it Is said, regards this proceedure humiliating and as forming a precedent she might be forced to follow in treaties negotiated in future. Japan is declared to consider that measure prohibiting her subjects from emigrating can be taken only in her own initiative. In other respects the negotiations are progressing, it is reported and, once this point has been settled an agreement may be expected.

RED GROSS OFFICIAL STATES OFFICE WORK COSTS ONLY FRACTION Speaking before a group of teachers at the high school Friday afternoon, Mrs. Helen S. Burton of Cleveland, assistant Junior Red Cross director of the Lake division, said that computa tions had boon made at Washington, D. C, which showed that out of every dollar given in the Red Cross menbership roll all this year only 3 7-10 cents would be spent on office work. This includes 13 divisional offices and an international office in Switzerland. The Lake division of the Junior Red Cross is composed of the states of Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. TL ' cost, membership of the Junior Red Cross is service. No membership fee is asked of the children. In almost all localities their activities are supported by the local chapter. Mrs. Burton stated that besides raising $3,000.000 for helping destitute children abroad, $14,000,000 worth of hospital supplies and garments were made by members of the Junior Red Cross during the war. Definite assignments are given to the divisions of the organization. A call for 10,000 scrap books came from Roumania recently. The Junior Rod Cross of Indiana promised to supply 5,000. The rest were divided up among other divisions. The Junior Red Cross in Indianapolis has been given a definite assignment of tool chests and cabinets to make. "There are 11,000,000 orphans with ro visible means of support in Europe today," Mrs. Burton continued. She said that many of those children will later come to this country as immigrants and become citizens of the United States. Whether they are abnormal, diseased and sickly or healthy, bright, normal citizens depends on whether they are given the things they need now. A live interest is created by the Junior Red Cross in the children of this country in children in distant countries. Not only are they taught to serve them but they write to them as well bringing them in to a realization of bigger, broader citizenship. In addition to production activities home hygiene is taught through the schools to th children by the Junior Red Cross. The hygiene work has been undertaken here under the direction of the Red Cross chapter. Scales have been supplied to every school and regular visits are made by the Red Cross nurse. Mrs. Burton gave interesting accounts of the work of this sort done in other places. ENTRY LIST LARGE FOR COMING EXHIBIT OF LOCAL PRODUCTS All leading manufacturers and many of the smaller firms of the city intend to exhibit their products at the Y. M. C. A. during the "Made in Richmond Week" Nov. 29 to Dec. 4, according to reports submitted at a meeting of the committee in charge at the "Y" building Friday night.

UNCOMPLETED TASKS OF RED CROSS THEME OF SERMONS SUNDAY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. The uncompleted work of the American Red Cross in Europe will be emphasized in sermons that will be delivered in churches throughout the country tomorrow, which has been designated as Red Cross Sunday, Dr. Livingston Farrand, chairman of the central committee of the Red Cross, said today. Thousands of ministers are expected to discuss the organization's relief work and to urge the public to continue to support it. Dr. Farrand, who recently returned from Europe, said he considered the problem of re-establishing the eleven) million orphans of the war-stricken nations on .a basis that will assure their future usefulness toward Europe's economic welfare as overshadowing all others faced by European countries today. Children Nrl "These children face the next few 1 years without hope of adequate cart n unless outside assistance is given," J continued Dr. Farrand. "It is thisj generation, devitalized and neglected, I upon which in a few years stability j of Europe must rest. It is not sug-j gested that the American people, i through the Red Cross or other phil- j aiithropic agencies can fully meet the problem, but experience has shown1 that with reasonable resources fundamentally important aid can be given to help the local and national effort to save the situation." Stress in sermons tomorrow it is expected also will be laid on the domestic program of the Red Cross and the work that is being done by the Junior Red Cross in the schools of this country and among European countries.

GERMANY IS FRIENDLY TO LEAGUE PACT J Nation Will Not Make Formal Application for Membership But Would Not Ignore Invitation.

FEAR MUCH OPPOSITION (By Associated Press) GENEVA, Nov. 13. Germany will not make a formal application for admission to the league of nations, but would not ignore an invitation to become a member, should it be extended ' the organization, said Dr. Hermann J rieller, vice-president of the foreign affairs committee of the German reichstag, in a statement to the Journal de Geneve yesterday Provision was made in the treaty that each country shall within two months from the time the treaty becomes operative call a conference which will submit to the two governments proposals for promoting more cordial, economic and financial relations. Jugo-Slavia agreed to grant economic concessions to Italians residing in Dalmatia, and to recognize the right of Italians living in Jugo-Slavia to choose within a year whether they desire Italian nationality, while preserving their customs, language and religion. Mutual development of cultural relations will be provided for by another agreement which will be concluded between the two nations. Won't Seek Admission "Germany will not ask the assembly to admit her to the league," he declared, "because such an application would give rise to a sharp discussion in the national assembly, for it Is known certain states have given indications they would oppose her immediate entry. I do not know whether they have sufficient support to insure the triumph of their viewpoint, but, however that may be, such a discussion would not be without danger to the league itself. Besides, the German government does not consider the league in its present form as perfect. How, indeed, could it be, since to mention only two states, it includes neither Russia nor the United States, and universality is the fundamental condition of its existence? Germany Friendly "That, however, does not mean hat Germany would maintain a reserved attitude In the event of some delegation raising the question of her admission, and if the assembly should accept tt; Germany would not decline an invitation resulting from such a decision."

ALLEYS OF RICHMOND COME UNDER SURVEY MONDAY IN CAMPAIGN

The educational "Clean-up campaign" will be started Monday by the Kiwanis club with the first trip of the captains and lieutenants making their survey of the alleys of the city and spreading the literature that has been provided for the occasion. Cards for notations and for .distribution were given out Friday night The reports that have been spread that the Kiwanians were going out with pick and shovel to do the cleaning of the alleys is erroneous, according to members of the club. The cleaning will be left to the individual occupants of the premises. "If any Klwanian has his residence condemned, special pressure may be brought to bear on him," one committeeman stated, "otherwise the work will be all voluntary.'' Dell Davis, city engineer, spoke of the good that was bound to come from any civic movement of this kind. He said that several people had already approached him and informed him that they were going to make several important improvements in their trash receptacles as a result of thi3 movement. Richmond Health Good The health conditions of Richmond were compared with "those of other cities and it was found that the city ranked fairly high in this. With campaigns such as the one that is to be staged by the Kiwanis, conditions could be greatly improved, it was pointed out. Newspaper advertising probably will be used extensively by members of the club if a suggestion by Ray Weisbrod. is carried out. Theatres of the city have been carrying pictures of good and bad alley ways during the past few days. Other methods will be devised during the week to bring forcibly before the people the civic ideal that the club wishes to put across.

House Committee Will Ask That Aliens Be Restricted (By Associated Press) ; WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 Congress at the coming session will be urged by the House committee on immigration to restrict admission of aliens to this country to close blood relatives of naturalized ; citizens. Representative Albert Johnson, of Washington, chairman of the committee 6aid today. The committee he added will begin Monday to prepare recommendations for the restriction of immigration and for changes in the naturalization bill now on the House calendar. Mr.- Johnson said he was certain the committee would favor requiring a guarantee from a citizen planning to bring relatives to the United States to their ability to earn a living, health and moral character.

POSTMASTER CHANGE HERE UNLIKELY; BECK APPOINTED TILL 1923 Although quite a few applications for appointment as postmaster of Richmond have been received by Representative Richard N. Elliott, it is understood, the fact that Charles B. Beck, who has been postmaster several years, was reappointed for a term of four years in September, 1919, indicates there will be no. change in the local postmastership until Mr. Beck's term expires. It was formerly the practice to make a general change of postmasters when there was a political change in the government, but for the past decade first-class postmasters have been appointed to serve specified terms. Mr. Beck's present term would expire in September, 1923. Mr. Elliott has just been re-elected as member of congress and his new term of office will expire March 4, 1923, or six months before the expiration of Mr. Beck's term. Unless President-elect Harding deI cides upon a new policy in reference to the appointment of first-class postmasters, which is not expected. Congressman Elliott would have nothing to do with the selection of a new post master for Richmond during the term of office to which he has just been elected. The Richmond postmaster is the highestsalaried federal employe in the Bixth congressional district, the office paying $3,700 per year, consequently it is the most desirable patronage the tfongressHian representing the district has at his disposal. President Wilson by a presidential order has placed all second, third and fourth-class postmasters under the protection of the Civil Service, and they ! can be removed from office only for cause. Whether the new administration will change this order has not been indicated. RECEIVES WORD FROM KIN, BELIEVED LOST Sam Baren. owner of a shoe repa-'r-J ing shop on South Eighth street, was a happy man today.

Last summer Baren asked the state department, through Representative Elliott, to find his brother and sister in Poland. He had not heard from them for many months and believed they had lost their lives in the war. When he instituted his search, the Russians wore threatening Warsaw, and state department officials doubted whether they could establish communications with his relatives. The letter which Baren received today was from Warsaw, Oct. 18. and said his brother Chaim and his sisieri Feiga were at Radziochow, awaiting money and steamship tickets so that they might come to Richmond. Baren will forward the transportation next week.
