BERLIN, Aug. l3.--The official report
o. Commercial Councillor Booker, who
accompanied Baron Rheinbaben on his
recent tour Of America, has been published
Herr Booker remarks upon the extraor-
binary resources OF the country. He OK
presses the belief that the enormous prog
ress of the United States in the last decade
will continue at an increasing ratio and that
America will still find the largest market
for her industrial production within her
own borders
He admits that protective duties have
enabled the United States to compete
successfully in foreign markets. but he
does not consider this as ground for re-
prisal. as the world is wide enough for both
the 'ntod States and Germany
The lessons that Germany has to learn
from America. the report says, are the
specialization Of industry, the reduction
OF cost through the use Of labor-saving
machinery and the distribution Of work
among affiliated companies, although, as
regards the last named, the Baron admits
that he does not regard this az so easy in
Germany as in a new country.
He describes the Transatlantic shipping
combination as a failure, but he foresees
danger to Germany from the operations OF
the United States Steel Corporation, mainly
in respect to manufactured goods.

MANILA, Aug. 13.-I 1t X believed that Gov.

proffer Of the War portfolio, TO succeed Mr..
Root. He refuses TO DO interviewed On
the subject, but it is known that he does
not desire 10 leave the islands
His departure would involve n strong
personal sacrifice. as he would have to
abandon his unselfish devotion TO the task
Of improving the condition Of the Filipinos.
He has stated often that he hopes for an
opportunity to complete the problem and
see the results OF his work. The situation,
he Thinks il just reaching condition where
results are visible.
The Governor feels that his administra-
ton in the past has been attended with much
misfortune The instruction had scarcely
ended before the bubonio plague, cholera
and famine ensued, attended by labor agi-
tations. However. he Is always prepared to
obey the wishes Of President Roosevelt. and
as he understands tho Philippines thor
oughly he would, In tho opinion Of many
persons here. make a most valuable Secre-
tary OF War.
Gov. Taft hopes that in any event he may
remain here until spring, returning to the
United States with the Filiplnos who are
going to the st. Louis exposition. 1t is
believed that his family and friends at home
are exerting strong influence to procure
his return. He has completed forty months
of the hardest kind of tropical service and
is subject to possible recurrence Of the
dysentery which afflicted him some time
ago.
The Filipino press is begging Gov. Taft
to remain. It is believed here that he will
not consider proposition that he he noni-
