were for the purpose OF enlightening Lord Lans-
downe various technicalities, to enable
him to explain them to the Cabinet meeting on
Friday. Until that is held Great Britain's atti-
tude will not be known.
The United States Embassy officials appear
to be hopeful of the acceptance of the amend
ments to the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty. In spite
of this impression. and taking full consideration
of the opportunities OF the Embassy officials In
forecasting the outcome. The Associated Press
has excellent reason TO believe that If Lord
Lansdowne's voice predominates in the Cabinet
Great Britain will not accept the amendments.
There is no shadow of doubt that If the opinion
of the Foreign Office. a department, is fol-
lowed, Great Britain will either regretfully ex-
press her inability TO comply with the amend
ments or fail to take any action whatever, in
which the treaty will lapse of itself. Sew
eral of Lord Lansdowne's advisers favor the
latter course. Their feelings can we'll be judged
from statement OF one Of the foremost OF his
advisers. who. replying to a remark that the

ENGLAND,s COMMERCIAL RIVALS.
EARL OF RosEBERY TELLS WHAT IS TO
BE FEARED FROM AMERICAN RE-
SOURCES AND GERMAN


London Jan. 16.-The Earl of Rosebery
spending to a toast to his health this evening
at the annual banquet Of the Wolverhampton
Chamber of Commerce. spoke of the great
commercial warfare being waged against Eng
land" He said. in part:
The chief rivals to be feared America and
Germany The Americans with their vast and
almost incalculahle resources their acuteness
and enterprise and their huge population, which
will probably be 1O0,0O0,000 in twenty years.
together with the plan they have adopted for
putting accumulated wealth into great Coop
erative syndicate trusts for the purpose of car
rying this great commercial warfare,
perhaps the most formidable.
On the other hand. the Germans, with their
calculating and cOnquering spirit and the
ergy with which they seize and use the best
and most economical methods are little less
redoubtable than the Americans.
The Americans, scarcely satisfied with gigan-
tic individual fortunes, use these by cOmhina-
ton TO make Of capital power which welded
by one two minds, is almost irresistible: and
if this power is concentrated against Great
Britain in trade warfare, it will be a danger
we cannot afford to disregard
A trust of many millions might compete with
any trade in England, underselling all her prod
ucts at a considerable loss. This is a possible
outcome of the immediate future.
curious feature, If may say so without i'm
nertinence seems TO be that in combination
with the faculty for the acquisition of money
there is a complete contempt for money, X
cent as means of making more. and for power.
These millionaires OF whom hear so much
are often men of simple lives, whose simple rule
is TO make enormous accumulatlons IN order TO
acquire more power
England in order to Withstand international
competition, must thoroughly educate her
youth and ] would suggest sending patches of
Young men abroad to learn the best rivals
know.
Lord Rosebery prefaced his declarations re-
garciing commercial warfare with the following
observations:
The enormous and constantly increasing arma-
ment of Europe may be the means OF preserving
peace In the first place, this may be so be-
cause war is an operation Of such incalculable
magnitude producing such unreasonable re-
! suIfs that any nation hesitates to trust it's
fortunes to the issue. and. in the second place
there is scarcely any territory in the world now
TO acquire, except countries so densely popu-
lated that the cost Of their acquisition would be
| incalculabfy greater than their material value
TO the conqueror.

had been discharged by DR.. Witthaus for In
competency. He denied that early in November
ne had come tc Paterson seeking employment in
thls case. He said he came here with a letter
or introduction from a Mr.. Howe, and that he
had gone to Wayne Dumont a lawyer but he
denied that he had sought the assistance of that
lawyer to get employment.
AT this point the defence rested and Prosecu-
TOR Emley called Lawyer Dumont in rebuttal,
but Judge Dixon ruled that Mr.. Emley could not
contradict DR.. Vandenburg any question that
was not material to the issue. and that this
not material. Mr. Emley then called Detectives

admissions to the detectives. This done. both
