portant decision arrived at by the Do

regulations recently issued the fee for
registering n claim was fixed at $15,
while an annual assessment OF 500

ENGLISH BIMETALrIsTS THINK THIS COUNTRY
SHOULD TAKE THE INITIATIVE
London Feb 6-The effect of Senator Wolcotts
mission I'm the interests OF bimetasm will only be
known after his return 10 Washington from Eu-
rome The active bimetallists IN Parliament whom
Mr.. Wocott has seen hold that the Initiative for
new international conference should be taken by
the United States Government and that the con-
ference should meet in Washington. The leaders
Of the British Bimetallic Union have been in com
nunica ton with the chiefs of the German League
who would approve OF initial American action The
British Government would undoubtedly send repre-
sentatives 10 Washington. The Idea Of fresh can
ference at Brussels finds no favor In English none
tarv circles The last conference held there was
''botched II IS feared that II another were held
there IL would have precedent In utility which
would not pertain to a Washington conference.
