matter to the attention of the police chief.
Maj. Sylvester started an investigation

PROFIT on ARMOR PLATE.
Agitation in Germany for the Com
structiOn of a Government Plant

In a recent report Consul General Rich
ard Guenther at Frankfort, Germany. in
forms the State Department of a sharp
controversy that exists among armor plate
manufacturers in Germany.
Certain of these manufacturers are
strongly urging upon the government the
unfairness of the enormous profits which
are being gathered in by the Krupp and
Dillinger works, which they declare amount
to 30 per cent on the contract price. They
suggest as a remedy for this monopoly the
establishment of works by the empire it.
self
On the other hand the Krupp and Dill
niger concern holds that the manufacture
of armor plate is very difficult and that the
least mistake results in rejection, which
imposes heavy loss. Then, too, 1t is said
that for years the prices of armor plate
have not been raised, although wages and
cost of material have doubled.
The German government, according to
Mr.. Guenther. is inclined to break up
monopolies and create competition, but the
manufacture of all the armor plate by the
empire would be an enormous undertaking,
and then, too, ii is not certain whether the
profits on armor plate are really as high as
they appear, when the capital invested is
taken into consideration.

WITHOUT INSPECTION.
VeNatiOus Regulations Regarding Adj
missiOn Of Dried Fruits Abolished.

The fruit growers of California will be
glad to know that among the good results
of the late diplomatic agreement with Ger
many is the removal of the vexatious in
spection of dried and evaporated fruit ex-
ported from the United States. These
fruits will hereafter be admitted into Ger
many as formerly without inspection on
account of San Jose scale.
The extent of this trade in dried fruits
between the United States and Germany
was only second to that in meat products
and grains, and - has required two years
earnest work on the part of the State De-
partment to convince the German govern
ment that the danger from San Jose scale
in American fruit was purely fanciful The
department was seconded In its efforts py
some of the leading German boards of
trade, and it was finally established beyond
contravention that the San Jose scale, even
II present in American fruit originally.
soon dies and is always inert and harmless
before it crosses the ocean.

JAPANESE FORCES LANDED.

This Government DexirOus of an
Early Movement on Pekfn.
1t is the earnest desire of this govern
ment that the forward movement on Pekin
be made at the earliest possible moment.
Although neither General Chaffee's rank
nor the number OF troops under his COM
mand would entitle this government to
press him for command of the internation-
al forces, the government feels that he
personally Is fit for such an honor, and ii
chosen would acquit himself with credit
If another commander Is selected it is
the wish Of the President that the Amer
lean force should not be divided as to COM
mand, but that in carrying out its share of
any movement all orders to the American
force should go through General Chaffee.
The beginning of the campaign on Pekil
depends entirely upon the gathering at
Tien Tsin of a sufficient number of troops.
Therefore, anxious as it is that the cam
paign shall be started at once, our govern
ment is watching the arrivals of the foreign
legfons and Is pressing Admiral Remey for
reports as to the military conditions. 1t il
reported that 2S,0O0 soldiers are already at
Tien Tsin, not half of the force regarded as
necessary to begin the movement.
The State Department advices are to the
erect that all of the japanese troops have
now been landed, in which case the inter-
national force should be considerably aug
mented. There are about 3. 500 trained and
seasoned American troops in the vicinity Of
Tien Tsin under the immediate command Of
Gen. Chaffee.S
