THE PERFECT FOOT.
Il II Said to He Found Only Among
American Women.

~ S0Iu uO nc AA--O.e
American Women.
''The American woman's foot is The
prettieSt," said the shoemaker. 1T Is at
once slender and robust and very sup
pie. The instep is high and beautiful
in a word, a perfect foot, charming
and serviceable alike in a pink satin
slipper in n ballroom or in white rub,
Der soled shoe on tennis court or in a
stout, hobnailed boot on the side OF the
Jungfrau or the MatterhOrn.
1.-THE Frenchwoman's foot comes
next. It is long and slender and ele,
giant, but weak. no good for service,
very ornamental-n foot for show.
'-The Spanish foot is small. and Its
instep is high and arched. Here, too,
there is not enough strength. There Is
a tendency to softness and in later life
to fat.
"The German foot is large, but shape
" and strong. 1t resembles the Ameri'
can foot, only it is much bigger.
"The English foot is the-is the-well
it is the limit, 1t is long; it is bony; il
has no instep; it wears its shoe over on
the side. Nowhere in the world will
you find race with such ugly feet as
those of the English. minneapolis

HEAVY DEBT.
Chancellor Takes Gloomy Tie1c Of
Financial Situation.

Berlin. Dec 6.-Chancellor Won Bulow to-day
opened the debate in the Reichstag on the gov
ernnent's new measures for increasing and adj
iustfng taxation so as to meet properly the en-
ujre's Increased requirements. The imperial
finances, he said presented a troubled appear
ance IN comparison with those OF France and
Great Britain.
Germany had been living from hand to mouth
The deficits since 1899 had been steadily in
creasing. The empire until 1915 was free from
debt. Now it owed SS75OO0,OOO, for which
round So. 100000 in interest was required. The
debt of the empire and those of the Confederated
German States amounted to $3,7J0,OO0OO0, or
over $50 a head. Germany's expenditures in
spite of severe economy had increased rapidly
ana in advance Of the income. Although the
military and naval expenses had doubled in ten
years, so also had the appropriations for educa-
ton
Abiding to the expenditures of other coun-
tries the Chancellor remarked that Great Brit
aims combined military and naval expenses had
triDIed since 1899.

PEACE GERMANY'S AIM.
EUROPE,S FEAR ALLAYED.
Strong Statement by Prince ron
BdIo1o on Foreign PoLcy.

Berlin, Dec. 6.-Chancellor BUlow, in the
Reichstag to-day, made statement covering
Germany's relations with Great Britain, Russia,
Japan and France. Herr Fritzen. a member of
the Clerical party, who introduced the question
expressed the hope that the change in the
British Cabinet would lead to better relations,
adding: Points of political controversy between
us and Great Britain do not exist" The remark
warmly appauded by the members.
The Chancellor admitted that Germany must
reckon with a deep seated antipathy in Great
Britain, but at the same time he greeted with
satisfaction the recent signs of an improved feel
ing on the part of the British people toward
Germany, He said he would fain see therein the
beginning of the restoration Of a mutual under
standing. now interrupted, between two great
peoples of similar civilization. Between Ger
many and the other two members of the Triple
Alliance, the Chancellor said, not the slightest
conflict of interests existed; nevertheless, Ger
many must be strong enough to stand alone
without allies if need be-.
The relations between Germany and Japan,
Prince Won Bulow said, were good and friendly,
and he refused to believe that Japan would dis
regard the treaty rights of Germany. which had
never sought anything else in the Far East than
open door for German trade and industry.
It was for this reason that Germany wanted to
preserve the integrity and independence OF
China.
Turning to the Russian situation Prince Won
BUlow said that Germany's policy had been
complete abstention from mixing in the internal
affairs of Russia. Germany restricted herself
to a lively wish for the healthy and peaceful de-
velopment of Russia, and the German father
land both politically and economically, was in
terested to the highest degree in such result.
He explicitly repealed assertions in the foreign
press regarding German political ambitions in
Russian Poland.
The Chancellor then discussed the Moroccan
question, pointing out that Germany pur-
suing well grounded rights and was not playing
the role of wanton mischief maker. He main
tanned that Germany was a peace loving ma
ton and said that the idea of German thirst
for revenge against France was absurd, adding:
adding:
take this occasion to assert before this
house before this country and before Europe
and the world the peaceful ground and tendency
of our policy Our attitude IN the Moroccan
affair proves inControvertibly that in trying to
protect German rights we nevertheless seek by
peaceful means to overcome material difficult
ties and diplomatic opposition without disre-
sarding the interests of others and without Civ
ing provocation. This IS the outline of Ger
rnany's traditional policy. Whoever falls TO
recognize that refuses to see the facts, and all
speeches and assertions are lost on him.

Referee Finds No Evidence of Fraud on Part
of New-York Building Loan.

When the New-York Building Loan Banking

Walter S. Logan, of No. 27 Wiliam-st the

this opinion is that large part of the money was
given TO members who had filed notices of with

unable to pay them their money but took this
policy to induce the members 10 consider It as a
loan" He believes that mans of the members
thought they we're simply signing receipt. Others
signed it because they we're willing to do anything
to get their money.
Mr.. Logan says that he find no evidence Of
