RELIANCE ON AN OLD TREATY
German Government Not Likely to
Concede Contentton of United
states.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11-Considerable
interest attaches in view Of the termination
OF the trade agreement with Germany
March l to the fact that there is still IN
existence a treaty of peace and amity
made in 1898 between the United states and
Prussia, which contains most favored
nation clause under which Il Is contcndcd
the United States has, the right to demand
the application of the German minimum
tariff rates to it's imports accorded various
European countries. This treaty is recog-
nized by the German government and was
assumed by it after the confederation Of
the old German states.
II any relief for the United States is
to be obtained from this source. however.
1t means the threshing over again Of an
old diplomatic controversy which was thor
oughly ventilated i'm 1880 and 1909 by the
late Secretary Hay aud Count Won Hol-
the United States. It was out or that
correspondence that the present agreement
with Germany was reached. The question
at issue grew out OF the construction
placed on the most favor ell nation clause
OF the treaty of 1928. Germany claiming
that the clause did not apply to the re-
ciprocal agreements. Germary's notice OF
the termination of the agreement then en-
tered into seems. according to the officials
here, likely to preclude the probability Of
that government Yielding to the United
States in the matter of application of mini
mum tariff rates to American imports.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1l-Milo r. Maltbie.
one of the expert members OF the public

ties in this country and abroad, sailed for
London yesterday on the steamer Mime

Of the entire commission to England In May
The commission has completed all OF its
plans and has actively begun the work OF
investigation in thi"~=S;,ntry. AS the COM
mission is composed of men representing
different vie-.s on the subject OF municipal
ownership and operation, two sets of engi-
neers, accountants and other experts have
been secured. one OF which Is inclined to-
ward public ownership and operation, and
the other toward private control. In that
way only, the committee determined, could
all the facts for and against municipal
ownership and operation be brought out
and a report secured TINT would have ap-
preciable value.

DUBUQUE. la, Feb. li.--From the pulpit
of st. Raphael's cathedral Archbishop
Keane. metropolitan of the Dubuque arch

He said
There arc unions organized to bring the
competent man down to the level of work
mon who are not as well skilled. The work
mon who should receive more do not be-
cause they are hound In union to hold up
incompetent men. They force employers to
pay poor labOrerS more than they earn.
Their aim is to get shorter hours and do as
little work for the employer as possible.
They do not earn their salaries. This prac-
tice in unionism is a school for thievery
The speaker then took organized capital
to task and said that the efforts of the big
hnanciers 10 deprive man OF his natural
rights is wrong.
such organized capital is a school of
thievery," he said In conclusion. "The en-
ployer who does not pay his employe for
the amount of his hire Is thief. The en-
poye who does not give to his employer
the labor he is paid for Is also a thief"
He made an appeal to men to take an ac-
tive interest in politics. Saying: "As your
duty to your family is sacred, so it is To
your city, country and state"

ESPERANTO FOR BUSINESS ONLY

P LONDON, Feb. u.-(Special Cablegram to
The Esperanto continues to make
rapid progress in England and in fact
throughout the continent The new Ian
guagc is supposed to be used by two
classes, the educated and the uneducated.
1t is difficult to persuade any ignorant per-
son that he ought to communicate with
anyone outside his own country unless he
is in a state of war" when his words will
usually be deeds. The uneducated person
naturally cares no more about Esperanto
than for any other language. The educated
person naturally falls back upon the Latin
or the French of his youth in case of an
emergency.
II IS to the business world, the age Of
wireless telegraphs, OF universal telephones
that the ardent Esperantists are turning.
They do not quite approve of the lecture
in which Mr.. w. T. Stead regaled his hear
ers with a description in Esperanto of his
accurate prophecies about the downfall Of
unionists members at the polls. Practical
Esperantists frown down upon this sort of
a thing just as they frown down upon the
translation OF a poem by Heine. They say
that the language will come on 'survi-
val of the fittest basis" just as the social
lists predict the triumph OF their economic
thceries because tire world In ai4eged tu.be
moving in that direction but that the at
tempt TO translate Shakespeare or Dickens
or Longfellow into Esperanto would only
result in the production OF a concotentation
Of harsh dissonances, and that the progress
Of the new language would be retarded in
stead OF advanced by an attempt to adapt
IL for literary purposes in a manner In
which il would not be suited.

who is great enough and good enough to
