"The County Chairman"

 A crowded house greeted "The County Chairman at the Jefferson theatre.

There is new man in the role of John Hacker. how ever. This season Theodore Babcock sup plants Theodore Roberts as the county chairman. MT.

CHANGE SEEMS NECESSARY

Berlin. October 30.-Baron Spec von Sternberg, German ambassador to the United States, who sailed for New York October 25 from Brennan on the North German-Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II, will on his arrival at Washington this week. submit to President Roosevelt the proposals of the German government for a new trade agreement between the uni- ted States and Germany. The ambassa- dor takes with him full knowledge of the German governments position. and is prepared to negotiate. The correspondent here of the Associated Press asked the foreign office. if, in view of the public interest in the United States on this sub ject, the imperial chancellor would not define Germany's attitude with some precision. Prince von Buelow received the correspondent today and among other things, said:
 An idea I suspect is abroad in Ameri- ca that the changes in the German tariffs and the modifying agreements with other European countries, were in some way directed against the United States. and that Germany desired to damage the trade of the United States. This, l am glad to say was never a motive with the German government, and the proposals that are about to be made are designed to increase the exchanges between the two countries, and not b contract them. The facilities for transportation be- tween Germany and the United States are destroying their locality, and by the operation of forces beyond the control of either of them, are bringing the two peoples into greater identity of economic interests. Each country has special ap- titudes and products of which the other may avail itself, and yet maintain the revenue and protective system adjusted to its individual situation.
