Turner Representative | Phones: Presents Annual Report "Covered By Insurance -- Department Well Equip- By Staff Reporter) ITE uy Jan, 22.--In his peport for the year 1927, Fire Chief Willlam Edger of Bowman- ville stated that damage to the extent of $1,444 was done through conflagrations, This property damage, however, was entirely cov- wred by local insurance agencies nd paid. Thirteen calls for the epartment were recieved for min- » fires, a number of which were himney and grass accidents, Two ullding fire alarms were turned n, and the loss from property was i in a major part from these two sources. , The local department also ye- ceived three calls for out-of-town rvice and responded in all cases n full force. The largest of these was the Hampton fire, where prop- pty loss mounted considerably and t for the excellent equipment nd ready answer of the fire-fight- ers here, the loss would have elled enormously and practical- wiped out the town. Newecas- 'fle also sent in an alarm which eived the attention to the full- est extent of Chief Edger and his stafr, As is generally known around the district, the Bowmanville Fire Department has one of the most odern and best equipped 1800 orse-power trucks, This ma- chine was purchased some time and has already proved its worth. Bickle pumps were installed on the truck and add greatly to its value, { The Chief reports that so far this year, no fires have occurred, Bnd he stated that this was ex- fremely fortunate considering the errific wind and snow storms Which have raged in this vicinity, nd which have caused losses in any other districts, GIVES 810,000 TO FINANCE BYRD'S ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION Chicago, IN., Jan, 22.--Julius osenwald, millionaire phir. ropist has presented a $10,000 zheque to Commander Richard E.

Parker Gilbert, He came back to sell, in his opinion, the only method of safe and sound, economic reconstruction of Burope. He came faced with the necessity of selling that idea not to praecti- cal business men or bankers hut to governments. And, governments have never been renowned for re- cognizing economic facts :at thelr economic value. Least of all, when recognizing these facts and their inevitabilities means deliber- ately tossing into the discard hun- dreds of millions of dollars, even though those hundreds of millions provide, on paper, the only finan- cial eomfort they probably ever will or ever could provide. Fix Reparations For Gilbert has long realized that the. 132,000,000,000 gold marks demanded of Germany as reparations under the London agreements of 1921 could never conceivably be paid. What he in- sisted in his latest annual 'report was that the total figure of Ger- many's reparations should be fix- ed as soon as it was practicahle to do so. He has now returned to present the case to the various Al- lied chancellories, without whose support no fraction of change can be made in Berlin's obligations to Europe. For the past week Gilbert has been occupied day and night in selling this idea. He has had sales talks with Poincare, Briand, More the director of Bank of France, and Francquil, Finance Minister of Belgium, He has told them the soundest move the Allies can make for the future security of repara- tions and the future tranquility of Europe would be for them to reach a settlement of Germany's obligations within the next two or three years. He has presented the | prospect that 1928 may see the CHANCELLOR MARX APPROAGHES END "OF POLITICA LIFE His Republicanism Has Be- come Too Mild for His Party ------ Pon Berlin, Jan. 22.--Immediately after the Reichswehr Minister, Dr. Otto Gessler startled Berlin poli- tical circles by resigning, the Ger- man capital was astonished by the disappearance of Chancellor Dr. Wilhelm Marx from the Parlia- mentary arena. Chancellor Marx, who has just celebrated his 65th birthday, play- ed a prominent vole in the early years of the German Republic. He has presided over four cabinets and has been Chancellor longer than any other man under the Re- public, He represented Germany with Dr, Stresemann at the Lon- don conference of 1924, which saw the acceptance of the Dawes plan, Too Conservative But Marx will probably go down in history as the man who unsuc- dessfully ran on the Republican ticket against Hindenburg for the presidency of the Republie. Now, paradoxically enough, it {is be- cause his Republicanism is not considered sufficiently vigorous that he is threatened with politi. cal extinction, The growing aonservatism of the German Chancellor has allen- ated the sympathies of the Catho- lie trades unionists," who, it is es- timated, comprise approximately half the voting strength of the Center party. The reported resig- nation last week of Adam Steger- wald, spokesman of the Catholie working-men, and vice-chairman of the party, brought the antagon- ism hetween the two wings of the Center party to a head. To prevent a split in this his- torie party, which antedates the foundation of the German empire hy a year, it is being openly said here that Marx will have to go. The primary reason for this rift in the Center party is due to the fact that in° the conflict which hrourht it into eristence, survives today, if at all only in a secondary form. Tre Canter party, founded by Lmiwig Windhorst--the only man who ever defeated Bismarck fn a parlinmentary batt'e--defend- ed the rights of the Catholie Church at a time when the burn- ng issue in Germany was the ques: tion of church versus state, But a great deal of water has flowed under the Hohenzollern the German schools. Alliance with the Protestant Nationalists, who were equally anxious to im- troduce Lutheran pastors "I'll never consent," consented and amid much indignation from the Cadlolic trades unions formed his fourth cabinet in conjunction with the Conservatives, - Repudiated by Right at the start countered resistance in arty. Ex-Chancellor Jospeh Wirth ted against the Government from the day of its firet appearance in the Reichstag, and has been wan- dering outside the fold ever since. Last July Max resigned from the Reichbanner, which is the largest Republican organization in this country. Recently he dismayed his followers by delivering a speech where in he sald: "The Center party is meither Republican nor Monarchistic--it is the Con- stitutional party." This was im- mediately repudiated by Theodor Guerard, Centrist leader of the Reichstag, and a man of moder- ate views, who emphatically sald the party was Republican. The challenge to Marx was picked up last week by Helnrick Imbuseh, who represents the Ca- tholic working-men in the Rhine- land. Tmbusch openly accused Marx of being "a changed man," said there was "something rotten in the party," and threatened to put up Catholic trades unionists to run against the official candi- dates of the party in the next elections unless the organization was overhauled.

Oprosed Standpoints facts and he has insisted that the problem of reparations should never be conjoined or corfreel with that of the inter-allied deh's, that den=erous ground on which France and other European pow- ers have given strong evidenen they would stand if any idea of renarat'ons settlements were broached. It is known now that Gilbert has ~lready made pronounced and en- tirely unexpected prosress in sell- 'ng his idea. Ip five days' time "a has laid the foundations ard driven the opening wedge for the final fixation of Germany's repara- tions. He has by no means ob- tained the unqualified consent, for such far reaching steps. But he has obtained the promises of open minds and willing ears when the time comes to talk of the actual fixation, Poincgre's Charge What could be of more terrific 'mport for the future economic welfare of all Europe than the as- surances which Poincare privately rave Gilbert the other day? For the first time in his life so far as even government officials them- selves were ever able to ascertain, Poincare frankly admitted that Germany's reparations total must some day be reduced, He would not dare to say that ofeclally--it would in all probability eost him the premiership. But it is not so long ago that Poincare would never have said thst under any cireumstances. Yet to Gilbert he said in effect, "I admit that Germany can never pay 182,000,000,000 gold marks, and we must consider reducing that to a practical figure when the might moment arrives."

But to Marx, who is a very reli- rious man, and who is said to at- tend Mass regularly every morn- ing, there was something more important even than the Republi- ran cauce, That was the possibi- lity of bringing back priests into 1928, "It is impossible to estimate once and for all, the present an" future capacity of Germany fc payment." There you have some thing of the miracle in change manner of thinking which he come over Europe in less than 4 years of the operation of the Dawes Plan. It was exactly four years ago this past week that the first meet- ing of the committee of experts was held in Paris under the chair- manship of 8 man named Dawes, who Europe then knew only casu- elly. It was at this meeting that this man, Dawes, declaring that it was not time to mince words, warned gravely of the great disas- ter which faced Europe, "unless common sense is crowned king." it remains for Gilbert today to preach to the Allied governments this same doctrine of "Common sense crowned king." But today common sense, in his opinion and some of the greatest finance minds of the world, demands another move, the next step in European restoration. And this next step is the definite fixation of the re- parations the rich must pay. Six months ago could anyone have fm- agined that Poincare and the French government's financial leaders would even admit the ad- this all-important step, let alone faintly consider that it ought to be teken within the mext five years.
