War OYER TARIFF
MAY BE HALTED
Potash Interests Involved in
German Negotiations.

Negotiations involving American potash
interests now in progress in Berlin be-
tween the German foreign Office and
Ambassador Hin may have an important
bearing on future commercial relations
between the United States and Germany
If satisfactory agreement cannot be
reached, it was said, the State Depart
ment may take the view that the attitude
Of the German government on the potash
question IS an undue discrimination
against American trade, and the maxi
mum tariff may be placed upon German
imports into this country.
Officers Of the State Department. how
ever. are hopeful Of an amicable adjust
ment Of the question which will prevent

semble Of the Washington Florists Club
