Washington, Nov. 13 Without committing himself either to approval or disapproval of the Treasury tax revision program, Preselenr Coolidge lot it bo known that he regarded the proposal as a step forward toward opening the way for meeting the demand of the country for lower taxes. Ill other quarters It also was made apparent that thus far the revision plan advanced by Secretary Melion has not been adopted as an Administration measure. Other proposals are under consideration by various otlicials and it is believed the President will feel out the leaders of Congress as well as all the members or his Cabinet before he settles on any definite recommendations for legislation.

Senators and Representatives who will have the task of shaping any tax measure at the coming session have for the most part reserved their comment on Mr. Slellon's program.

Occasional doubt crept into the conversation of the bishops when it concerned Kumpean affairs, but regarding the Klan and Prohibition enforcement the opinion of those whom The Eagle interviewed was unanimous. Mum on Amusement Han. Regarding the amusement question as It concerns the Church law, none of the bishops would make a statement. "It la not an issue at our conference." they said. The clause In the Methodist Discipline which forbids card playing, theaters, dancing and similar things has been a storm center for some years at U.e Church general conferences.

The attitude of Governor Smith of New York In withholding the State law enforcement machine from the Federal agencies working under the Prohibition laws was regarded by Bishop William Anderson of Cincinnati as being a very dangerous precedent. "If New York's example were followed throughout the country, chaotic results would follow." he said.

Then tht.y sped away in a fast maroon-colored car and made good their escape.

It was as bold as any of the pcent crop of holdups which are worrying the police and the most important of any of those which hsve occurred in Brooklyn from the Kandpoint of the financial loss involved. The holdup was carried out in broad daylight, with great expedition and assurance, within call of hundreds of men. Morrison was "stuck up" at gun point.

Morrison, who lives at 42u 6th and has been employed by the Ward company for four years, went to the Title Guarantee Trust Company Building, on Remsen in the morning to take enough money for the payroll out of the bank.

Paris, Nov. 13 (By the Associated Press) The report that the former German Emperor has received passports for himself and entourage and is about to return to Germany from Holland caused a flurry in ofUcial circles here, where steps were taken at once to obtain conflrmaltun.

Thus far nothing has been learned to support the story. The attitude of the Allies in the eventuality of the ex-Kaiser's return. It is said, would be far more firm than in the case of his son. the former Crown Prince. The latter is regarded as a rather negligible quantity, but the presence of his father In Germany would be considered a real danger.

It is pointed out that the difficulties In the way of obtaining William's extradition under the treaty of Versailles which persisted as Ion ns he remained in Holland would disappear with his re-entrance into the Fatherland. Germany, it Is he'd. would have no excuse to resist the Allied demand because William is really a deposed monarch whose delivery Into the hands of the Allies was agreed to by the German Government when it signed the Treaty of Versailles. The semi-official Temps, discussing in nn editorial lender the possibility o. Chancellor Stresemann allowing the ex-Kaiser to enter Germany, says: "When the German Government consents to the return of the ex-Kalfer it violates not only the rights of France and wounds not only French sentiment but commits an outrage against Great Britain and as well.

Following tho reading of a formal statement, Forbes was questioned at length about his ad ministration of the Veterans Bureau by his chief counsel, Col. James Easby Smith. In the course of his testimonv. the witness declared that the chief trouble with the Veterans Bureau was "politics inside and ouside." He dwelt ut some length on the interfer ence he said he had suffered at the hands of of Gen. Charles Sawyer, President Harding's private physi cian and head of the Federal Board of Hospitalization.

Colonel Forbes said that outside political pressure was brought to bear upon the head of the Veterans Bureau lor every kind of purpose, for property sales, for leasiugs and contracts, and for the cases of Individual men.

On Ills Inspections he found that the con-trnet hospitals were "terrible Are hazards," he said, and therefore he closed many of them. "I believe the Veterans Bureau will never function properly," Forbes declared, when asked for his opinion, "until there is a change of system.

No one man can handle that job." Then he added: "No man loved the ex-service man better than I did," and his voice broke off Into a sob. "This is a human problem," he went on. "A problem of broken bodies and broken minds." "And broken hearts," Inlcrjected Senator Walsh of the Committee.

And because they did not lose faith simply through ignorance of the secrets of life, they have not had Rawson's body embalmed.

Until mortification sets in. they said, there is that chance which gave the two Spanish followers life after they had died.

Tomorrow, August Kickeloerg, the undertaker, said. Rawson's remains will have to be embalmed, unless he has shown signs ef life.

"Washington. Xov. 13 Although tho door is etill open for American helpfulness in the reparations problem, I'resident Coolidge regards the latest move in that direction as having come definitely to an end. The United States would find itself unable, in view of the President, to participate in the reparations inquiry proposed by Premier Poincare for the same reason that it declined to enter the investigation suggested by Great Britain. This reason is that the American Government considers it useless and futile to make an inquiry which is hedged about by restrictions as to its scope.

(ireat Britain, it is pointed out. has presented no invitation for participation by the United States into a reparations inquiry in which France would not be a party. Consequently that question is not up for decision here. A new factor had entered the reparations situation today as the Reparation Commission met to decide whether Germany's request for a financial hearing should be granted. The addition was Premier Poin-care's own proposal that the commission name a committee to investigate thoroughly Germany's economic and financial condition, with a special view to determining means of bringing back, to the Reich illegally exported German capital.

Assistant delegates of the Reparation Commission have been suggested as members of tho body of experts: in any event, the committee would be composed of delegates from the Powers represented on the commission.

Asquith to Lead United Liberal Factions at Coming Battle to Overthrow Premier on Protection Issue. Baldwin to Dissolve Parliament and Risk AH in General Elections. London, Nov. 13 (By the Associ ated Press) The Asquith and Lioyd George factions of the Liberal party sank their differences this morning and reunited to present a solid front against the Conservative Protection ists, as well as the Labor parly, in the coming elections.

The reconciliation was e.Tcted at a meeting of former I'rcniiers As quith and Lloyd Sir Alfred Mond and Sir John wriion. Arrangements were made or a united campaign by all the Liberals. While such n. move was not unexpected by many political observers, there yet had been a great eit inent of doubt as to whether the two bitter political antagonists, Asquiih and Lloyd George, could be brought together. Therefore, the announcement of the reunion furiiishe I one of the big sensations of the day.

The Evening News states thai V. Ascjuith will lead the reunited pai ty. It is recalled that Mr. Lloyd George. In answering Interview when he landed at Southampton from his American visit, last said he would work with anybody who would serve the country l'aiih-fully.

He announced the proposed dissolution in the House of Commons this afternoon. If Parliament is dissolved on Friday the nominations will occur on Nov. 28 and the elections on Dec.

The House of Commons, after a brief discussion, adopted a motion by Prime Minister Baldwin appropriating the whole time of the House to the Government, for the remainder of the session. The vote was 270 to 90. RcconcUiation Ends Long. Bitter Antagonism.

The reconciliation between the Lloyd George and Asquith Liberals is the sequel to one of the sensational political incidents occurring during the great war. The two leaders had long co-operated as standing figures of the Liberal pftrty. Mr. Asquith was Prime Minister when the war broke, out, and when alt party differences were merged by the formation of a coalition ministry. Mr.

Lloyd George out of tho change. Kach had his loyal hand of followers, Mr. Asquith retaining the leadership of the old Liberal organization, while Mr. Lloyd George headed a large defection which became known as the Lloyd George Liberals.

She paused before adding: "And. if that is not enough In which to place faith, we all know that 190 years ago a carpenter turned preacher raised himself from the dead."
