A MORE PERMANENT
 COMMERCIAL PEACE
Move For Long Term Trade Treaty Between Germany and Great
 Britain.

Berlin, March 13.-Reports purport- ing to be well-founded are in circula- ton here to the effect that Count Metternich, the German ambassador in London. recently recommended to the German foreign office the advisa- biity of arranging q long term com mercial treaty with England while it could yet be effected on free trade basis
 Inquiries have elicited that Count Metternich's personal view is that it would be desirable to exchange the present year year modus vivendi by which Anglo German trade relations are regulated for some more perma- nent arrangement. He has not yet embodied this suggestion in any com mercial report to the German govern ment That he has not done so may be taken as an indication that he does not consider the time yet ripe for him officially as ambassador to recommend the opening of negotiations with the British government to this end.

 The statehood bill and the postal savings bank bill will have been side tracked. Regardless of the fact that these and the conservation measures were a part of the administration pro- gram, there is not apparent anywhere positive force pushing any of them.

 ARIZONA FRIENDS
His Appreciation of Their Interest In His Personal and Political Welfare.

The decision of Hon. Frank P. Flint of California, not to stand for re-elec- tion to the office of senator from the Golden state, has already been widely published. together with his reason, which is that he has not the financial resources with which to organize the machine so necessary in American pol itics for the furtherance of ones own interest in his own party, to say noth- ing of conducting campaigns against the opposition in general.

 on the cars running 75O.OO0 fares Were collected today The company replies to all ovcrtures that there is nothing to arbitrate. It is willing tO take the strikers back but insists upon an open shop.
 The constant reiteratiOn of refusal to arbitrate. coupled with the deter mined stand of the union for recogni- ton, renders vain hope of mediation by President Taft or the national civic federation.
 The authorities look for break in the ranks of the strikers tomorrow. Many have already returned to work.
 The Transit company is silent as to the action of the Interstate Railways company in sas-the wages of the Trenton strikers to twenty-three cents an hour. Twenty-two cents is now the highest wages paid here.
 In order to strengthen the sympa- thetic strike the central labor union issued instructions tonight to milkmen, bakers, grocery clerks and other dis pensers of the necessaries of life to remain from work tomorrow and stay out until the car strike is settled
 It was also resolved that the union men withdraw their funds from the banks. The leaders say that when they endeavored to conduct the strike with regard to the convenience of the public. Director of Safety Clay, and others belittled the strike It is now determined to draw the line close. The grocery clerks organized today and will go out tomorrow night
 Pressure was brought to bear on the brewery workers and they voted to strike. despite the orders of the na- tional officers. Before this action wsa taken the German section of the cen tral union voted to boycott Philadel- phia beer.
 There were no serious disturbances today. The company is weeding out thr tough element from the new men.

 Tt is hard to get out of it. Why. do you know" clapping one hand into the other to emphasize his words, 'I honestly believe that old John D. buys and sells stocks today. It's in the blood"
 Mir. Patten denied that any part of the s2O.000,00O he is said to have made in speculation is going to pay for works of art.
 Not me" he said. Some men when they get lot of money discover art. couldn't tell a masterpiece from a chromo. A chance is all right but do not want to take a long one It has been proved that five times as many art works are imported from the brush of each artist as that artist could do in his life Art is not for me"

ENGLAND NEVER mEMAcED
Notwithstanding Germany's Program There is No Probability That Great Britain Will Be Outstrip- ped in Ten Years

Berlin. March l3.-German news papers commenting on the naval pro- gram allude to the silence in Great Britain sine. the elections regarding the menace at Germany as a naval rival and they say that the scare was manufactured for campaign purposes.
 \ well known German naval author ity in speaking of the situation said: Germany is going ahead with her naval program regardless of Great Britain or any other power. German powerful naval force and we are get ting it. That it will be equal in pow CT to that of Great Britain is absurd.
 According to the German naval program we will have in 1920 fifty eight armored shops Of the first class. that is ships which would fight in the first line of battle. At her present rate of building the Cnited States will have fifty-four ships of the same class and France will have forty-five. Great Britain's first class battleship and armored cruiser strength in 1920 will be I12 units. equal to the combined force of Germany and the United States. So you see Great Britain has no cause to be greatly alarmed"
 Plans for the new German naval at the western end of the Kaiser Wilhelm canal, are completed. and work is to be begun immediately The total cost will be about O,O0O, 900 marks. The work will require many years. and when finish ed the new naval base will be the greatest on the North sea. It is in tended to rank with Kiel. with it's great natural harbor. at the north eastern end of the canal.
 There has just been published some striking official figures indicative of the acceleration in the construction of the German fleet. The number Of workmen employed in the imperial dOckyardS has risen rom lS'oo' lii 1902 to 23,9Os.
 The Kiel yards lead with $500 men. At WiIhelshaven sl34 are employed, and at Danzig 3593. The torpedo works at Friedrichsort employ 1855 men, and there are 212G at the artillery am- intuition and stores depots. The wages disbursed in these various establish nents have increased from s5,750.OO0 in 1902 to ss.25O.O0O. These figures, Of course. do not include the staffs of the enormous private dockyards which are cooperating with the imperial wards in the creation of Germany's new fleet

The off, cials of many roads unhesitatingly ad- init the gross injustice of the present practices" The points the railroads refuse to arbitrate concern the pro- motion of firemen.
 Does your letter mean that if a satisfactory answer is not received a strike will be called?' was asked Carter
 Tt looks exceedingly grave" he re- piled; we don't want a strike. All the replies of the managers have been heretofore evasive I hope the next win not be so.''
