And "Old Lady, Bittrolff probably

they come. "Biddy" let not one sin

NEITHER SIDE WINS.
North Sea Decision will not Com
fort Great Britain nor Russia.
ADNIRALS SOUGHT MIDDLE GROUND
Text Of the COnclusions VIII Be
Given Out saturday-Americans
Believe Great Britain Gets
slight Advantage.

Paris, Feb. 24.-The international
commission appointed to inquire into
the North sea incident practically con-
cluded its work tonight by finally
agreeing to the. report which will be
publicly announced at the closing SEES
sion to be held at 3 o'clock next Satur-
day. when the text Of the decision
becomes known 1t will be made more
acceptable to the press and public
than they have been led to believe,
The semi-ofiicial summaries appear
ing, while more or less accurate, tend
too strongly show Russian sue
cess. but as a matter Of fact the ad-
mirals have sought middle ground
and the decision is not pronounced
victory for either side. 1t is OF such
character as to preserve Russia's self
respect and at the same time give the
British public much ground for salts
faction. If anything, the decision is
rather more favorable to Great Brit
ain than to Russia.
On the other hand, the Havas
agency confirmed its semi-official
statement of last night. 1t says;
1.-THE conclusions as whole are quite
favorable to Russia, recognizing that
Admiral Rojestvensky could legiti-
mately consider himself in danger and
act as he did. However, the report
contains reservations calculated to
satisfy British susceptibilities, the
most important being that the CON-
mission estimates that the Russian fire
lasted too long and also that Rojest-
vensky should have speedily notified
the British maratime authorities OF
the deplorable incident. Upon the
question of the presence of torpedo
boats the commission frees all navies
from the imputation."
The American officials are strongly
inclined to accept the view first stated,
that the decision is more favorable to
Great Britain than to Russia.

Hall Game, the popular English nov
elist, promptly disayowed the ambi-
ton attributed to him of wishing to
put American millionaires into novel
He said:
1 do not feel able TO attempt such an
undertaking. l do not know American
millionaires well enough, and so your
Rockefellers are In no danger. American
authors are better qualified for the I'M
dertaking. 1t is not for me to attempt to
write what will be the great American
novel There Is nothing 1 would like bet
ter to do, but 1 cannot.
| would rather write that story than be
president of the United States. 1 would
rather write the story of wealth and its
relation to society than achieve the diplo-
matte triumph of your president In bring
ing about peace between Russia and ia
pan. There is nothing in the world finer
than to write about this, but no one
knows SO well that he can't do 1t as L.
Mr.. Game further declared that
America is the proper scene for novel
of that character because it "is the
country that best typifies those condi-
tons that seem to make the rich con-
stantly richer and the poor poorer. 1t
is the money country of the world"
IN his opinion the subject is the great
est possible for the greatest genius
America can produce. With this hint
the American legion of authors can
strike out boldly, confident that they
are on the right track.

change, and the fact that 1t is needed
shows that rascals have been allowed
to escape and that perhaps without

that it is more important to enforce
the law and make thieving dangerous
than to get back part of the cash. Here
tofore the embeZzler of a few thou

The German Tariff and Meat Famine

Diminished supply of butchers meat,
due to the closing of the German from
tiers against importations and the high
prices following, is causing distress In
the fatherland. 1t is openly declared
by municipal officials of Berlin that in
so far as the masses are concerned the
ruling prices of meat are almost pro-
hibltive.
Recently a Socialist leader in the
Berlin municipal council asserted that
the present meat rates would vastly
increase the ranks of the Social De-
mocracy At this meeting 1t was
shown that the price of meat had In
creased nearly 30 per cent under the
new tariff system, and the prediction
was made that the government would
be compelled to reopen the frontiers
to importations.
