FROM THE SEATS OF WAR

A member of the German Foreign
Office said yesterday at Berlin: France
and Russia informed Germany before
NJ. Delcasse, the French minister OF
foreign affairs, went to ST. Petersburg
that his trip had no political signih-
canoe. and Germany is satisfied that
this IS ihe case. His visit had for It's
purpose the looking after the interests
Of French investors with their invest
ments in Russia"
A Hong Kong dispatch says it is re-
ported that the Germans have selected
a concession at Canton. that the pre-
liminaries have been arranged, and tina.
possession win be taken soon.

CITY WORK TO GO ON

City Solicitor Conrad has given an
opinion in which he assures the mem
bers OF City Council that they can
provide funds for the Board Of Dlrec.
tors OF the Street and Sewer Depart
ment and the Board Of Park Commits
sioners without violating the laws. Act
ing thereon the Finance Committee OF
City Council last evening decided 10
recommend loan of $25 600 for the
Street and Sewer Department and one
Of $4,000 for the Park Department.
The latter asked for $4,000, but cut
OF $4,000 will be made.
These loans win enable the two de-
partments to carry cut several pro-
jects Of pressing public necessity, and
they are popular in all respects.
In his opinion City Solicitor Conrad
held that by subsequent action the
Legislature nuilihed the debt limit pro-
vision contained in the act authoriz-
ing City Council to borrow $4,000 for
its own uses. and therefore II does no;
stand as a bar TO the two new loans
proposed.

truth is recognized by all br0ad-mind-
ed American citizens: The time is
past for discussion as to whether this
government is to be consolidated in its
structure or a loose aggregation Of So
called sovereign States. The civil war
settled that 1t is useless to discuss
The question CT whether this is to be a
purely theoretical Democratic govern

pose expansion under the name Of i'm

imperialism. II is only folly to attemp.
