course an important factor. but re-

rents are advancing in a particular

At 2 o'clock in the morning Mathews

asserts she has been virtually pris-

daughter, as he had led people to be-
lieve, but that the girls parents had
instituted a worldwide search for her
and had been unable to obtain any
trace of their daughter.

A TARIFF WAR AVERTED

tariff war between Germany and
the United States has been averted.
The tariff negotiations have been con-
ciude sfactOrily to both countries.
The ed States will obtain not only
the German minimum rates now en-
jOyed under the special agreement
which will expire on Feb. 7 next, but
will receive also the benefit of all the
minimum rates of the German tariff
now accorded to foreign governments.
In return Germany will receive the
minimum tariff rates Of the Payne
Aldrich act, after March 81 next, when
the maximum and minimum features
Of the American law will become op-
erative. Incidentally the successful
outcome of the present negotiations is
a diplomatic triumph for Secretary Of
State Knox.
The fact that a tariff war has been
averted is especially gratifying to the
officers of the state and treasury de-
partments because of the fact that in
the calendar year just ended the direct
interchange of commodities between
the United States and Germany ex
ceeded $409000, 600. Allowing for i'm
pOrtatiOns into Germany through other
countries, the volume of trade between
the countries is estimated at about
$500, ,00O, 900.
BY the terms of the commercial
agreement which has been in force
since 1907 Germany extended to the
United States its conventional, or low
est, rates on about 100 out of nearly
1000 tariff numbers. These 100 num-
bers covered large percentage in
value of the actual imports from the
United States but left many import
ant commodities of American manu-
faCture at a disadvantage in competi
ton with similar products from other
countries. This agreement will expire
on Feb. Z. An agreement has been
reached under which 1t will be pOssi-
BILE for the German government. with
! ment, to avoid any interruption Of
| trade and at the same time extend to
| the United States not only the rates
now enjoyed. but the entire remaining
schedules of minimum rates now ac-
| corded other countries.
