Various suggestions have been ca

Professor Ernest Won Halle, who
with Tjiard Schwartz, visited >he
United States to study chip building.
in behalf of the German marine min
istry, writes today's Woche, advocat-
ing some sort of governmental meas
ure to prevent Americans from &C.
curing German steamship lines.
Among the suggestions are that the
ships be Differed by Germans, the
ownership remaining in private hands,
as in the case of the R~eichsbank, or
making the ownership Of such stock
unlawful for non-Germans. He points
cut the difficulty of the governments
buying the companies outright as it
would involve the acquisition of prop
erty at ports all over the world which
night lead to complications. Profess
scr Won Halle says that as a result
CT his inquiries, he does not believe
Americans have bought much Ter
mar steamship stock, because the
borce transactions therein in 1901,
were few. Professor Won Halle be-
lieves it is theoretically possible for
Americans to buy the majority of the
stock of German companies, elect new
boards Of directors and transfer the
general Offices abroad, but he says
German financiers don't believe the
Morgan group of capitalists possess
such irresistible capital as outsiders
imagine, and asserts that the see m.
ingly gigantic capital of the United
States Steel corporation is so strong
" watered, it might disappear in
time of a crisis.
Christian Science, as promoted by
Mrs. Seals and some other American !
women, has been a lively press topic
this week, the city authorities having
prohibited meetings OF the newly or.
ganized German society in the city
gymnasium on the general ground
that psychological treatment of dis.
case does not deserve the municipal
ity's endorsement. Christian Science
has obtained a considerable follow
Ing in high social circles.
The %reichstag tariff committee
votes this week are agreed as m ak
ing the bills fate more uncertain than
ever. The non-agrarian supporters OF
the measure say the agrarian major
ity has gravely endangered the pas
sage of the bill through excessive de-
mands. The votes in favor of certifi-
Gates Of origin and the application of
the foreign customs regulations as
to duties against the states treating
Germany unfairly, place the govern
ment in an extremely unpleasant di-
1emma, after the solemn warnings of
the imperial secretary of state for the
interior. Much curiosity now exists
regarding the governments future at
titude. The opinion is generally ex-
pressed that the government will fin
ally accept the Objectionable amend
