he air at Lorber's restaurant. on Grand
street last evening was thick with theory
'iat curled gracefully from the utter
ahces or the speakers at the second Pres
ett Problem Dinner The general subject
"as' Should New York Spend $500, ,0o0. 900
III i9ll? Nearly every one handled large
hsures. as if they Were free souvenirs
The presiding officer, the Rev. Dr.. John P.
Peters, observed that when | started for
the meeting I felt so prosperous that /
almost hired a taxi
The general proposition that the wise ex-
penditure of a large sum by the city was
necessary appealed seriously, however, to
the several hundred earnest men and
men who were present. Speaking of New
York School Needs in lel1, Professor
John Dewey, of Columbia said:
This city. soon to be the greatest in the
world. should be ashamed Of its lack of
proper school facilities. About one hundred
school buildings for 1000 pupils each are
needed. and, including a readjustment of
salaries. about $4,500.000 increase of salaries
for the regular teaching force. These fig
ures make no allowance for more kinder
gartens. of which about 1000 are needed.
for additional workshops and kitchens. for
needed special and ungraded classes, for
vocational and industrial schools, nor for
more recreation centres and vacation
schools, nor for home and school visitors.
Robert w Hebberd, former Commissioners
of Charities said that the progress of the
Department of Charities had been retarded
by the manner in which budgets had been
prepared, and that it was twenty years
behind the age. Every building of the
department. except the Municipal Lodging
House. is overcrowded,'' he continued
False economy in the past has prevented
even necessary repairs to buildings. Hos
pital employees are underpaid, and their
number is insufficient to do the work On
BlackwelFs Island, in the tuberculosis in
frmary, where there are accommodations
for only five hundred patients, there are
nine hundred.
John Martin was applauded when he
said, in speaking On How to Get IT,:
''The Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment should force the Public Service Com
mission to assess part of the cost of sub
ways this year upon the property benefited.
The land values in the outlying parts Of
Brooklyn and The Bronx will jump like
a kangaroo when subways to them are con-
structed. The territory north of 135th
street could have paid out of its profits on
the present subway the whole cost of that
part of the subway which runs through it
and yet have cleared for the lucky land
owners over S67, ,425. .000
at least $40 O0O, 600. therefore. of the cost
of the subway to Coney Island and East
ern Parkway and another s20000.000 of
the subway to The Bronx should be as
sessed upon the land values which the
subway will create. That would allow
an expenditure of s4o.Ooo000 which would
not count against the debt limit Of the

NO GERMAN AID
1merica's Berlin ErMbit VII
Not Get Help.

Berlin, Feo. 24-The statement of Herr
Delbrueck. the Minister of the Interior. Ia
the Reichstag yesterday, that the govern
ment had not given and would not give ma
terial or moral support to the American
exhibition of machinery to be held in this
city during the coming summer. has caused
astonishment upon the part of the pro-
moters OF the exposition who have had, as
they supposed, the moral support Of the
German government from the beginning
The promoters are German capitalists.
such as Isador Loewe. of the Mauser rifle
manufactory, and Ludwig Loewe, of the
Machine Tool Works. who obtained before
approaching Americans on the subject
what they thought was the moral support
of the imperial government.
When Baron Won Brandenstein went to
the United States as the representative of
the exposition management, one of the at
taches of the German Embassy at Wash
ington, Baron Hartmann Won Richthofen,
was assigned to accompany him to New
York and assist him in his mission, as he
was not familiar with the English Ian
puaee Together the barons visited prom
inent New Workers, and 1t was understood
that the idea of the Foreign Office was TO
help the enterprise along so far as possf-
BILE morally without committing the gov
ernment to official or financial oblfgatlons.
MANY distinguished Americans who
signed the appeal to American industries
for participation in the exposition did so
under the impression that this German en-
terprise was supported morally by the Ger
man government. Prince henry or Prus-
sia Is chairman of the German receptlon
committee and among those assoclateo
with him are Grand Duke Adoiph Frederick
of Mecklen burg-Strelitz, Prince Hatzfeldt
and Prince Henckel Donnersmarck-
Since the exposition was launched some
Of the machinery interests OF Germany
have appeared to think that there was
danger ahead for the German industry.
Various newspapers, especially the "Rnein-
isch-West tphalische Zeitung. published at
Essen have opposed the American EXPOSE
ton energetically. Apparently 1t was the
recognition of these objections tnat ied
Minister Delbriick to make the declaration
on behalf of the government He was
sneaking Yesterday as the representative of
the Chancellor and doubt is expressed as
to whether he knew that the government
had actuallv given its moral support to the
enterprise
IF has also been understood here that the
annointuent of commissioners by the De-
nartment of Commerce and Labor of the
United States, including Irwin B. Laushlin,
secretary of the American Embassy in
RerIin; John Bell Osborne, chief of the
bureau of Trade Relations, and Hugh Cor
don Miller, was due to the desire of the
American government to aid the under
taking already strongly supported by the
German government.
1t was thought that unofficial reports OF
Herr Delbrtick's speech might have been
inaccurate, and that he did not use the
words attributed to him, but the Official
Gazette" prints tonight the text of the
speech, quoting him exactly as he was re-
ported yesterday

JOHN ANDERSON.

Chicago, Feb. A.-John Anderson, seventy
four years old editor of THE Skandi-
naven," a local newspaper, died to-day.
He was born in Norway in 1886, came to
this country in 1916 and started publishing
"The Skandinaven' In 1856
He had already attained success when
the Chicago fire swept away everything he
owned in 1871. He bought $500 worth of type
and started work again and built up a
newspaper that was said to be one Of the
most widely read Norwegian publications
in the country News of the Lutheran
Church always forms a large part of its
contents, and at one time, when there were
dissensons in the sect, feeling against
THE Skandinaven' was bitter in some
quarters. Mr.. Anderson. was active in Re-
publican politics.
