The United States consul general at Ber-
lin. in a report to the State Department.

ly concerned at the now very large and
growing competition of American machines.
The League of Industrials IT 3ochum. an
important manufacturing center. has taken
up the matter and in a memorial TO the
German government calls atten;io TO the
fact that this great industry is in immi-
nent peril. owing to the rivalry of kmeri-
can bicycle manufacturers. They COM
plain that the United States levies a duty
on foreign-made wheels Of about Sl4.2S
while the German duty being only SOL on
100 Kilograms. only from Il to ~ cents
duty falls on the American wheel. ON
these and other grounds the aid OF the
German government is asked on behalf Of
the home industry. The consul general in
lis report says IL is rot because the Anne ri
can wheels are OF foreign make tina: they
sell so rapidly in Germany, but because
they are the stron gest. highest. s"undest
and most elegant in shape. They have
quite taken the fed. he says. from Bel
gian. Austrian and British wheels. He
also expresses the opinion tna: large con-
cessionS could be made with safety to the
Germans in the way of lower duties he
cause the German public is now weIl
convinced of the superiority of the Ameri-
can wheels that we will continue To hold
the market so long as this high standard is
maintained.
