As I don't always like to use
my nice buggy I made a little roll

also had to fasten the seat to the

Gossip today was devoted to
speculation as to whether the
caliinf-l wnirn i-iiimhmuu -parliamentary
minority could car
ry out a constructive program in
view of las jtrecarious backing.
The siron:eit doubts are express
d anions the democrats, who pre
dict -that the Wirth ministry will
soon undergo reconstruction now
that its primary function as a
signing cabinet" has been dis
posed of.
The new cabinet is only able to
re v on 2K out of 469 votes, as
suming that the Democrats vote
solidly with the ministry, in which
they are represented in a provis
ional manner only. Chancellor
Wirth therefore will be obliged to
depend ujon the "benevolent neu
tiality" or support of either the
People's patty or the Independent
Socialists in a critical stajie, or
he may weather a parliamentary
storm if given the 21 votes of the
Bavarian People's party.
Pre Luke-Warm.
Although the liberal press gen
erally is sympathetic in its re
ception of the new cabinet, it is
not over-enthusiastic.
The Bourse Gazette says that
"it is evident that the Wirth gov
ernment cannot aspire to be more
than a signing cabinet."
The independent Socialist or
gan. Freiheit. believes that the
crisis has only been temporarily
overcome.
Newspapers of the nationalists
and industrialists received the
new cabinet and its action in ac
cepting the allies' ultimatum with
expressions of scorn and con
tempt. 'The German people. Insofar as
it has yet been able to think and
feel, will not have anything in
common with the government,"
says the Pan-German Deutsche
Zeitung.
"For us this document Is but a
scrap of paper."
Conservatives Landed
Count Frederich von Westarp.
conservative member of the reich
stag. writing in the Kreus Zei
tung. declares that the conserva
tives did their duty in opposing
acceptance.
The Tages Zeitung charges that
the "so-called German parlia
ment" played France's game and
that the makeup of the new cabi
net accommodates the French
wishes.
The clerical organ. Germanla,
believes the acceptance marks the
beginning of an era of interna
tional tranquility and that it will
also promote internal consolida
tion in Germany.
The Vossische Zeitung demands
that he new ministry shall not
reveal itself as merely "a. signing
cabinet." but shall proceed tQ

Colonel Harvey, it said. Is com

President Harding, it adds, ha?

words. President Harding's am
bassador constitutes a further
forecast that this good will is not

WASHINGTON. May 11. In

by senate and house education
committees on the Kenyon bill,
which embodies the principles of
such a department as endorsed by
President Harding and as worked
out at his direction by Brigadier
General Sawyer, his physician.
General Sawyer was subjected
to extensive questioning by com

know if the consolidation of the
education, social and humanitar

number of employes and to gov
ernmental expenditures. The wit

of employes and the expense
would be reduced and promised
figures to substantiate his asser

proposal to establish a depart
