New York, March 29.-First place
in the known news of International
Importance must be given this week
to the matter of the selection OF an
American ambassador to Germany.
Now that an ofiicia; notification has
been received at Washington from the
German foreign office that all obiec-
ton to DR.. Hill has been recalled, a sit
uation of peculiar interest arises. An
early expression on the subject'-f from
the White House is anticipated. The
attitude of the state department as
well as that of DR.. Hill who personally
finds himself in a somewhat embarass-
ing position, and the further diplomat
ic exchanges will command universal
attention.

foreground of American news Other
matters of note will include the retire
ment from the presidency of the Uni
ted Mine Workers of America of John
Mitchell, with the possibility OF strikes
and the closing of mines in the coal

This Week in Congress.
Interest in the doings of Congress
this week will be centered In the pro
gress of the Aldrich currency bill
which passed the Senate on Friday and
goes to the House Monday The dc
cision to refer the bill to the commit
tee on banking and currency will have
the effect of postponing the crisi,
which the bill sooner or later must en-
counter in the House. Its frienos
however, are very sanguine that it will
meet the same Success that came to Il
in the Senate. How long it will be re
tanned in the committee is a matter o
conjecture.
