AMERICAN VICTORY IN GER
MANY.
Prosecutor Finds Oil Company Has
Committed No Wrong.

Berlin, BY ,Cable.-The long and
venomous campaign waged by Ger
man newspapers and rival industrial
interests against one of the German
branches of the Standard Oil Com
pany-the Deutsche Vacuum Oil
Company-has just been brought to
vStorious end for the Americans
involIed
A well known Hamburg newspaper
for months printed such a series of
attacks on the American graft meth
DDS alleged to have been practiced
by the vacuum company in the con-
duct of its German business that the
pubic prosecutor of Hamburg felt
constrained to make an official inyes-
tlgatlon with a view to eventual in
dlctments. The prosecutor has now
concluded his investigation, especially
OF the work of E. L. Quarles, Ameri-
can manager of the German COM
pany's sales department, and an
nounces that no necessity exists for
pursuing the inquiry further.
NO evidence of anything warrant
ing prosecution was found against
Mr. Quarles, and the costs of the en-
tire inquiry will be borne by the
State.
The result of ts- investigation con-
stltutes notable triumph for Amer
lean interests in Germany.
1t is not the first time that Ger
mans finding themselves unable TO
compete with Americans on ordinary
terms have resorted to slander.
