VIII Initiate Our Government I'm Its
Consular Service.

Washington, Sept. 6. Thomas Ew
ing Moore. United States commercial
agent at Weimar, has called the atten-
ton of the department of state to the
fact that the British government has
taken steps to supplement its consular
service by the appointment of COM
mercial attaches. So far two of these
attaches have been appointed. one at
Berlin, whose field comprises Germa-
ny, the Netherlands and Scandinavia,
and one at Madrid for Spain and Por-
tugal.
The duties of these officials are to
relieve the consuls of the work of in
PRODUCING British goods into foreign
markets. and the beginning of this
service has been noted with alarm by
Englands greatest trade competitor,
Germany, where the press has begun
already an agitation looking to the re-
form of the German consular service
to meet England's action, involving a
special education and preparation o1
young men for consular careers. 1t Is
demanded that the consular officers be
men commercially and technically
trained or else that they be supplied
with specially trained assistants
MI Moore attributes this agitation
in both Great Britain and Germany fol
the remodeling Of the consular service
to a perception Of the excellent results
attending the development by the
United States of a system of consular
reports upon matters calculated tc
benefit American producers and mer
chants

q companion named Joseph Shoemaker

saw the stranger jerk the gun from
Eggen's hand fire and then make for
the hills. Shoemaker in great alarm.
