officers of the Metropolitan A,stem on
its stockholders alv the public. The

juries and witnesses.
Information of this in many cases
and especially in one case, where he

FINAL EFFORTS BEING MADE BY
WASHINGTON AND BERLIN
GOVERNMENTS.
SITUATION IS NOT WITHOUT HOPE
PRESIDENT, SECRETARY ROOT
AND GERMAN AMBASSADORS
CONFER DAILY.

Washington, Feb. 16-Between now
and March l, the date of the lapsing
of the trade arrangement between
this country and Germany, final and
determined effort will be made by the
Washington and Berlin governments
to come to some agreement that will
prevent tariff war between the two
countries, the evils of which are mu.
tually understood. The prime movers
In this last effort are Baron Speck Won
Sternburg, the German ambassador,
and Secretary Root and the president.
The ambassador was at the state de-
partment during the day and will have
other conferences within the next few
days. The success of this last effort
depends largely upon the extent to
which this government can modify its
customs regulations, by which 1t Is
hoped certain injustices against for
eign merchants may be remedied.
Throughout the negotiations Germany
has shown great readiness to do all In
her power to come to satisfactory
agreement. The president and Secre
tary Root are equally anxious for the
success of the negotiations and the
cordial personal relations between
them and the German ambassador Is
another factor which makes for the
success of these extremely delicate
negotiations. 1t Is too much to say
that the success OF the negotiations is
assured, but 1t can be announced that
the outlook is not without hope OF a
favorable issue.

MIDDLET0WN, Coma, June 25.-
President B. p. Raymond of Wesleyan
university delivered the annual bac-
c%aIaureate sermon to the graduating
class of the university at the First
Methodist church in this city yester-
day, speaking on the subject, "0ld
Altar Fire Rekindled." and taking as
his rext Luke xiv, 81, "And they said
one TO another, Did not our hearts
burn within US while he talked with
us by the way and while he opened to
us the Scriptures"
President Raymond said that the re-
kindling of the fires in the hearts of
the young men referred to in his text
was such a reminding us is needed to-
day. One, he said, frequently hears
the lament that the good old times are
gone; but, be added, the fathers never
saw so good a day as this day. He
then went on to say that IL today we
are lukewarm ''our lukewarmness is
due to pleasure seeking, to the greed
for riches, to s~elfishness, to infidelity,
to the reign of appetite and to a score
Of other reasons that might be named"
Continuing, he said:
"That was q notable walk that Jesus
took with those two young men on
the way to Emmaus. Were he to walk
this afternoon with two of our young
men on the way to Cromwell, about
what would he talk with them? Would
he make their hearts burn within
them? Would Jesus have nothing to
say about the issues of the day2 Moth
ing about wealth and its abuse, moth
ing about monopolies and their tyran-
MES, about socialism and salvation?
Would he speak only of dead issues?
We make too much fuss about wealth.
IF in some magic airship we could
sweep over all the states today we
should see below us the farmer, the
carpenter, mechanic, young men and
young women, children and youth, ma
ture manhood and womanhood. These
are the people l see from our airship,
75,000,000 of them scattered over the
continent. B~illionaires, none; multi
~mlllionaires, few; millionaires, not
enough of them to make a small sound.

ton of the time. 1t all indicates anoth-
