BERLIN—(By the Associated

The ministerial resignations, fil

Socialists not to participate in a

members of the German People’s
party. But the friends of Chancel
lor Wirth were not oblivious to the
feelings that he had outlived his
usefulness and now has become
a *. ictim of a policy of indecision
and inactity which, found its cul-

PEKING.—(By the Associated
Press)—Einaf Borg-Breen, of Min-
lieanolis, an American missionary
of the Lutheran church and his son
have been kidnapped by the army
of bandits in Honan province, ac
cording to a report from Hankow.
Altogether eight foreigners, includ-
nig three Americans, now are held
captive. ' „ .
Rev. Mr. Borg-Breen was living
with his family at Loshan. in the
southeastern part of Honan.
The foreign consuls at Hankow
report apprehension throughout
Honan over the increasing actvii-
ties of the outlaws.
American legation figures show
that there are S40 Americans most-
b- missionaries, scattered through
30 towns in Honan province.
The Chinese foreign office has

There seems, to be a general Idea
that the whole subject of capitula

tentous importance that it cannot
be settled at Lausanne. * Some of
the delegates to the conference
minion the possibility of appoint

When the curtain rises on the
Riwanis “Jollies of 1922” tonight
at 8:30 o'clock a theater full of
Athenians and visitors will be
ready to enjoy one of the best
musical shows of the season and
at the same time expeirence that
glow of satisfaction which comes
over those who help a good cause.
Proceeds from the “Jollies of
1922” will go to the fund which is
being used to begin a playground
system for Athens. This is a
worthy cause but when those
- 5 lucky enough to get tickets in
time sit back in their chairs to
watch the boys and girlsj yes,
some are old boys, do their act
they will forget all about the
playground fund, throw away all
thought of “home talent” and en
joy the show as a show.
Jimmie Bishop, he of minstrel
fame, and Walter Hodgson,« who
knows almost as much about
building up a musical aggregation
as he does “Gem WINte” . and
“Crystal. Flake”—have thrown to
gether a real show. The Athen
ians taking part in the fun and
frolic, with just enough serious
ness to leaven it, have forgotten
they are “home talent” and come
through with their acts as if they
were veterans, only there is a lit
tle more vivaciousness than is us
ually found in professionals.
The ca»t and personnel of the
show follows: Misses Katherine
Ashford, Frances Rowe, Elizabeth
Harris, Mathilda Upson, Louise
Upson, HalHe Kilpatrick, Frances
Holden, Queen Holden, Katherine
Park, Marian Bailey, Elizabeth
Arnold, Katherine Bradwell.

state’s appeal that Mrs. Phillips be
made to pay “an eye for an eye'
a tooth for a tooth” for the mur
der charged to her.
Fricke flayed the insanity de
fense and Mrs. Phillips asserted
loss of memory after, as she testi
fied her former friend, Mrs. Peggy
Caffee star witness for the state
had struck Mrs. Meadows with the
hammer. r
Crowds trying: to get into the
court room have become so large
that the county board of super
visors passed an ordinance forbid

gress. x
With the passing of Dr. RathenJ
enu; the Chancellor visibly lost in- ~
fluenee with his cabinet colleag
ues. As a result the support giv
en his “policy of fullflllment”
diminished day by cay. He admis-
ted the collapse of his policy last
summer when he announced that
the government's slogan had be
come:” Bread first, then repara
tions.”
Criticism of the alleged weak- '
ness of the cabinet eminating
from London as well ay Berlin duri
ing the last few days, contributed
to undermining, the Chancellor’s
position even in the ranks of Coali-:
tion party. His belated espousal I
of the people’s party as a neces
sary adjunct to the government de
finitely alienated the support he
had befen receiving from the so
cialists.
Ever since the assassination of
Dr. Rathenau the chancellery hag
been obsessed with the fear tat lxis
personal safety. During the daet
few months a heavy guard *ot plain
clothes men has constantly sur- . «
rounded him.
