The county auditors OF Iowa are
holding state meeting in Des Moines.
and the principal matter discussed is
that of the manner of assessment. The
auditors generally favor some addition
al legislation that will make 1t possible
to secure greater uniformity in assess
ment as between Stile counties. The
tendency is for each county to get the
assessment down little lower to ge.
the best of the situation and thus the
assessment continually drops. But a
suggestion has been made here that
provision be had for state meeting of
auditors and other county officials IN
terested in the assessment work, and
that the convention be empowered to
Law plans for making an ideal assess
ment of property-one that will con-
form exactly to the statute and be Just
as between the counties. County audi E
tors see the Importance OF this better
even than others in the state.

GERMANY IN a DILEMMA.
Acceptance of British Protocol by
Bowen Makes Bad Case For

Kaiser.
washington, Feb. 1o.-Minister Bow
en- has succeeded in breaking the
European alliance against Venezuela.
How long the alliance will remain
broken is question, but apparently
Venezuela has decided advantage at
preseht over Germany. When President
Roosevelt declined to decide the ques-
ton of preferential treatment, the allies
agreed to leave 1t to The Hague and
proceed with protocols to cover all
other issues that had been disposed of.
Great Britain has submitted a protocol
which Minister Bowen has verbally ac-
cepted. This verbal acceptance, In Dip
lomatic practice, has the force of a
formal written acceptance, which Will
come later. Germany has not submit
ted to Mr.. Bowen Its protocol. but he
has been officially informed that In 1t
Germany demands preferential treat
ment. If the protocol does contain
such demand it will not be accepted,
Minister Bowen taking the position that
Germany is not justified in insisting
upon preferential treatment in the pro-
tocol after having agreed to refer that
question to The Hague.
Great Britain's protocol having been
accepted, Germany will, 1t is believed.
be forced to adopt the terms offered
by Great Britain or find the alliance
broken.
Venezuela is in conciliatory mood.
and Minister Bowen is inclined to
grant any reasonable demand. He has
offered the allies cash payment of
$27,500 each, which is substantially all
they now demand. Baron Won Stern
berg, the German minister, is under-
stood to be engaged now in attempting
to persuade his government to present
q protocol similar to that submitted
by Great Britain, and 1t Is believed
his efforts will be successful.
1t is reported that Germany asks
that she receive in addition to the $27,-
500 cash that Mr.. Bowen has agreed
to pay, a certain percentage of the GUS
toms receipts until the remainder of the
$4,000 demanded in the original ulti-
matum addressed by Germany to Pres
ident Castro last autumn, is paid.
Italy, it is believed, is insisting on
similar demand, tho the amount asked
for in her ultimatum was over $780,
900.

Iations' Regarding the Practice.

IationS He9aroin9 ehe Tfactice.
London, Feb. 10.-Rear Admiral Basil
Cochrane, retired, in a letter published
by the Times today, makes an astound-
ing revelation referreing to the bar
barous system" prevailing among the
guards regiments for punishment of
subalterns who are found guilty of so
cial or military offenses. According to
Cochrane. the colonel of one battalion
has been in the habit of handing over
offending officers to their senior subal-
tern. The latter summons a court mar
tial at which the attendance of all sub
alterns is exacted, and the sentence is
almost invariably flogging. This is adj
ministered on the bare back after re-
moval of all clothing, and from six to
forty blows with cane are given with
such severity that n lower number is
sufficient to draw blood. All the officers
present, even the most intimate friends
of the victim. are compelled to admin
lister their share of the blows.
