GRAVE SITUATION
WITH GERMANY
kAIsER's GOVERNMENT CABLES
D!sQuIETINe REPLY TO AMER
:cA ON TARIFF.
sTEADFAsT IN POSITION
TO TAKE WHAT COMES
Feeling is That Germany Will Prepare
For HositiIites Should United States
Insist on More Than She Accords
Other Countries - Cites Previous
Tariff Agreement.

Berlin, Jan. 1S.-The German gov
eminent today cabled Washington a
reply to the memorandum recently re-
ceived from the United States relating
to the tariff on shipments between the
two countries. While it does not ac-
cept the American wishes in various
respects, and especially concerning the
Importation of meat, the German re-
sponse is sent in the hope that it will
be satisfactory and as all that the Ger
man government can do.
The reply was dispatched with GER
feeling Of gravity because of the feel
ing that Germany can do no more and
must be prepared for trade hostilities
should the United States, unhappily,
insist on more than Germany accords
other countries. Chancellor Hollweg and
the imperial ministers appeared con-
vinced that the combined conservative
center and national liberal parties of
the reichstag would block the way to
any departure from the present laws
covering the importation of meats.
The government has received the
opinions of the leaders of these parties,
and moreover has fathered the wide
views Of the manufacturing interests.
Even were the government disposed to
accept the American contentious in
their entirety, there does not appear
to be the least possibility that the
reichstag would pass legislation essen
tial for the modification Of the Ger
man law.
1t is cited at this time that in promul-
eating the Americana German tariff
agreement in 1907 President Roosevelt
stated that Germany was giving to the
United States more than she was re-
ceiving. 1t is further pointed out that
now that American tariff revision hav-
| ing been made, as is constantly assert
ed in all quarters, with the design OF
limiting German trade with the United
States, and the request being made that
Germany shall make further impos-
sible concessions, the general temper
of the country as indicated by the
chambers Of commerce, the reichstag,
financial journals and governmental
special inquiries, is steadfast in what
is considered a sound position, namely,
to take whatever comes.

UNCLE SANS SWEET TOOTH.
Candy Bill For Country During Year o,
1909 Reached $500, 900, 900

New York, Jan. 1S.-That the United
States has the most expensive tooth
in the world and that New York con-
sumes more sweets than any other
municipality on earth are two facts in
dicated by the compilation of figures
here which show that the whole coun-
try during the last year paid $500, 000,-
900 for its candy bill of which this
city, with one-sixteenth of the total
population, contributed $50, 900, 900. or
one-tenth of the whole amount
During 1908 this country consumed
as much candy as all the rest of the
world put together, but during 1909 it
ate twice at much. Strange as it may
seem, the foreign Immigrant is the
greatest eater of candy in America.
In New York fully half of the city's
candy bill is paid by the men, women
and children of the east side tenement
district. The poor always eat the most
candy, partly because it is so satisfy
ing and more because it tastes so much
better than their ordinary food.
If all the candy which New York
consumes during year had to be made
outside of the city and brought in by
freight, it would require more than
12,500 freight cars in which to ship it,
If the whole amount had to be moved
at once the train necessary to trans
port 1t would reach from New York
beyond Albany. The supply for one
day would fill more than thirty-four
regulation cars.
While much expensive candy is con-
sumed in New York, the average price
pound is close to twenty cents, which
means that this city consumes 250,-
100000 pounds Of sweets every year
Packed in half-pound boxes each six
inches long, this amount would, if the
boxes We're laid end to end, completely
encircle the earth.

DNON|S1S GAINS
NOT SUFFICIENT
ADD THIRTY MEMBERS INeMoN-
DAYS PARLIAMENT
ELECTION.
GOVERNMENT PARTY STILL
RETAINS WORKING MAJORITY
Radical Coalition Now Fighting on De-
Churchill and other Promin-
ont Members Now contestins For
seats-John Burns Returned With
Flying colors.

London, Jan. 1S.-Completed returns
from yesterdays elections make the
standing of the parties to date as fol-
lows:
Government coalition /: liberals, 70;
laborites, II; irish nationaists 27.
Observation-Disclosures, 90; net union
lst gain, 80.
\ The radical coalition fought more on
the defensive today than heretofore, as
Of the forty-six seats for which pol
ling was in progress they held all but
ten in the last parliament. Front
bench politicians whose fates We're de-
cided today were Winston Spencer
Churchill, for Dundee; Sydney C. Bux-
ton, Tower Hamlets; Walter Runci-
man, Dewesbury: Sir William Snowden
Robson, South Shields, liberals, and
Alfred Lyttelton, St Georges Hanover
Square, the former conservative min
lister. ALI these appeared certain Of re-
election. Representation for Bermond-
eye, where John humphreys scored a
sensational unionist victory in the bye
election of October last also, was in
thes1nelting pot, and as humphreys this
time met an undivided opposition the
seat quite likely has reverted to liberal
ism.
Government Fares Well.
The government Jared much better
yesterday than the most ardent sup
porters expected. The unionists gained
nineteen seats, liberals four, laborites
one making net gain for unionists for
the day fourteen. one less than they
gained at the fewer elections Saturday.
This has practically assures the re-
turn of the liberals to power with a
fair majority, for among the places
still to poll are those of Scotland and
Wales. which are always solidly lib
eral.
Some expected that John Burns,
president of the local government
board, would be defeated in Battersea,
but Burns was never doubtful
Other state officials who fought sue
cessfully for seats were Augustine
Birrell, chief secretary for ireland, G.
e. Hobhouse, financial secretary to
the treasury, DIR. T. j. MacNamara,
secretary to the admiralty. Their ma
jorities were considerably reduced
In fact this happened all thru the
country, the huge majorities secured
In 1905 showing a big reduction in al
most all cases. Many liberals who be-
came members Of the house of COM
mons by the grace of the landslide
that year, have been retired to private
life.
John Burns returns to the parliament
with flying colors. Altho in landslide
of 1906 he won by 1000 his normal
majority was about 200 In yester-
days battle he won by 555. The Burns
of today is a vastly different politician
from the Burns who exhorted working
men to rise against the police. He so
far outlived his famous dictum that a
man could not honestly earn more than
$500 yearly in that he holds a s1O,-
600 position and is likely to be pro
moted to a $4,000 position.
