FEHRENBACH TRUSTS SHOT DF GERMANS Nation Will Not Turn Bolshe vist, Says Chancellor. GRAVE CONDITIONS FACED Immediate Future Big With Fate Xor Country Peace and Fair Deal Supreme Need. sBY CYRIL. BROWS. fCopyrlgrht by the New York World. Pub lifihed bv Arraneement.) BERLIN, Nov. 1. (Special Cable.) Chancellor Fehrenbach does not be lieve Germany will fall a vlctlAj to bolshevism. In an exclusive Interview given to the correspondent on the eve of the- reopening of the relchstag- the chancellor said: . . "Your question touches the Inner political problem which results from the recent formation of the new communist party under such sensa tional circumstances at Halle. Little as I misunderstand or underrate the seriousness of the decision reached at Halle. I still hope and believe that the healthy common sense of the German people, particularly of the German workingman, will, in the Ions run, be able to resist the seductive "Pied Piper of Hamelin, and the tunes of foreign agitators. "I believe too. that the bulk of the German people will not let their hea'ds be turned by the Inflammatory agita tion of visionaries who try to build 1'otemkinian villages and conjure up Utopian air castles for the German people. Particularly, after German workers on their visit to Russia learned from personal experience on thoir own bodies the 'blessings' of the so.iet regime, I cannot believe that Gt -man workingmcn still harbor any de-Ire to drive out the devil of present-day German misery with the Beelzebub of bolshevism. Immediate Future Dark. 'Regarding the questions of the Invneoiate future, which is big with fate for Germany," Chancellor Fehr re: bach continued, "the Impending deLates In the reichstag will bring out all the problems which most deeply stir the German people, their parliamentary representatives and their government. ' The immediate future lies dark be f ot e us. With the utmost anxiety we face the annihilation, the consequence of the agreement regarding coal we made at Spa, which we have con scientiously observed and fulfilled. Already we have been forced to with draw coal, vital to our Industries, to such an extent that many plants have been closed down and the number of unemployed grows from week to week. This unemployment, with its detrimental effect on the internal or der and quiet of the country, causes us particularly heavy care. "To it is added the crippling of transportation because of the with drawal of coal, which in turn reacts dangerously on the feeding of the German people by increasing the shortage and the high cost of food. Our difficult food situation is ren dered even worse by the threat .o m: ke us give up 800,000 milch cows. If this Is forced upon us, the short as a of milk, which is already alarm ln;r and endangers the whole juvenile generation of Germany, will be In creased to a pitch almost unbearable. Peace Above All Needed. "Regarding our catastrophal finan cial situation I need not waste words. The budget submitted by the finance ministers and the federal states speak most clearly and horrifyingly with tlielr gigantic deficits. In this con nection I must not fail to point out, h iwever, that, in view of the con st tentiousness with which we have fi filled all of our treaty obligations, w..- believe that we are Justified in expecting from our treaty opponents that they, for their part, will fulfill the pledges made to us regarding a now conference for the final settle ment of the all-dominating repara tion question. On this, in the last a ialysis, likewise depends our ability tomake reparation. "What we need to cure our -er'ous-ly shaken and sick body politic is, atovs all, internal peace and order ed whoever has an interest in the reconstruction of Europe must share' tl is wish. "Germany wishes to live In peace a id solidarity with all peoples. And If we can calculate on the intelligent s: mpathies of those circles abroad ao, above and beyond all differences Cherish the welfare of all humanity at heart, it will prove a permanent blessing for the work of the recon struction of the world, which is bleed ing from a thousand wounds. "In this work Germany now. as be partl" ly determined to do her ,$80,000 IN LUMBER BURNS Authorities Believe Seattle Blaze Is of Incendiary Origin,. SEATTLE, Wash.. Nov. 1.

HARDING AWAITS VERDICT (Continued Krom First Pace ) and New York, battle grounds of more than ordinary interest, the candidate said his information was especially gratifying. He added that he also had received some heartening reports of senatorial races. Although he has spent most of the last month in stumping-, Mr. Harding finished the campaign in robust con dition, physically. He presents a Pic ture of health and vigor. His voice, though slightly crippled by speech making and exposure, has almost re gained its normal ring and tone. 181 Speeches Are Made. In all since his nomination in June, the senator has made 181 speeches, long and short. By far the greatest numDer were delivered from the rear platform of his train during his travels over 16 states. Thirty-three i were delivered from the front porch 'and 36 at other Places in Ohio. 1 He has made 20 speeches in Indiana, .20 In Iowa, 16 in West Virginia. 11 in Missouri, eight -in Kentucky, four n Illinois, six in Oklahoma, five in New York, five in Tennessee, four In Minnesota, three in Kansas, three In Pennsylvania, two In Nebraska, one In Wisconsin and one In Maryland. . Mrs. Harding, who has been at his side during every speech and has busied herself unceasingly about his headquarters here, has not been as fortunate as her husband in escaping the ill effects of travel and campaign excitement. During the last trip, which ended Sautrday night In Co lumbus, she took a heavy cold and today she remained in bed until near ly noon. IDaeu la IV ot Alarming;. It was said her illness was not at all alarming and that a good rest and protection from the raw autumn weather soon would restore her to normal health. She said tonight she expected to go to the polls tomorrow with Mr. Harding and cast her first vote for him for the presidency. After election day there will be a vacation for the senator and his wife, but detailed plans for it have not yet been announced.

Arrest Follows Complaint of 400 Investors Who Bought Stock; Gem Dealer Out $5000. NEW YORK, Nov. 1. "Professor" P. John Chasler of Brooklyn, was arrested today on a charge of grand larceny in connection with a "dis covery" designed to revolutionize the motor fuel industry by mixing corn stalks, cane sugar and yeast as a substitute for gasoline. A test of the substitute Is alleged by him to have been approved at Ramsey, N. J., by chemical experts of West Point military academy. Assistant District Attorney Lazarus said the real secret of the test was two barrels ot grain alcohol hidden behind a wall and connected by a pipe to a tank containing the substitute. Chasler's arrest followed an in vestigation by the district attorney's office of a complaint of a delegation representing 400 persons of the east side, who claim to have invested in stock of the Fermogas company, said to have been formed by Chasler for the manufacture of the substitute motor fuel. Chasler was specifically charged by Enrich Bares, a dealer in precious stones, with misappropriation of a $5000 check made payable to the Fermogas company. - Cocoa and Chocolate Reduced.

TALK HAD WITH JAPAN Army Legislation Must Meet With Acceptance of Country at Large, Says Department. WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. By the Associated Psess.) The American government made public today its first statement regarding the discus sions with the Japanese ambassador concerning the proposed anti-alien land law to be voted upon tomorrow in California. It said that it was believed the Japanese ambassador realized that no outcome of the Cali fornia movement would be accept able to the country at large that did not accord with "existing and ap plicable provisions of law" and with "the national instincts of justice." The statement was prepared by Acting Secretary Davis of tha state department, who declared that It was "in reply to inquiries" and that the fact that it was issued on the eve of the California election was without political significance. DIeasstonn Held Friendly. It was understood that the princi pal object was to assure the Japa nese people that their legitimate in terests would be safeguarded. Mr. Davis described the discussions with the Japanese ambassador as be ing "of the most friendly, and candid nature, "-.nd also said that the rela tion of certain treaty provisions to the proposed California measure would "doubtless prove an element in the state's decision." The statement follows: "The movement In California to. re cast the state laws affecting alien land tenure has been receiving? since its Inception, 'the close and interested attention of the department of state. State Department Acta. "The relation of certain treaty pro visions to the proposed measure is being discussed clearly and ably in California and will doubtless prove an element in the state's decisions as to the adoption or rejection of the proposed measure. "In the meantime the department has had numerous discussions of the most friendly and candid nature with the ambassador of Japan, and it is believed he thoroughly realizes as well as is sought to make clear that no outcome of the California move ment will be acceptable to the coun try at large that does not accord with existing and applicable provi sions of law and, what is equally im portant, with the national instinct of justice." Warning to all Japanese newspa pers against printing anti-American information was recently given by the Japanese- police, according to information received here today through official channels. .The fol lowing note was delivered by the police at all newspaper offices: "Recently there has been - a ten dency in the press in consideration of the- American question to Indulge in defiant utterances and to insert fabrications. As it is feared that this may have undesirable results upon our foreign relations, you r are requested to be careful about Insert ing such Items in' the future." LAND SALE IS UP TO COURT Constitutionality of California Law to Be Tested. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 1.
