one of the big department stores Of
Paris. The day after the sale a Dutch
newspaper, t he "Nieuwe Rotter
damsche Courant." published an arti
ole from it's correspondent in Paris
affirming that the famous Cuyp was q
forgery. The article was so circum-
stantial that the dealer and his client
became alarmed and submitted the
matter to the Dutch expert, Hofstelle
van Groos. After q careful examin

BERLIN, June 10-The Prussian
government is observing closely the
result of the arrangement for the NUT
ual interchange of assistance between
the German and American police, to
determine whether its advantages to
Germany justify it's continuance. In
recent case when the New 70.
police requested assistance in loca:-
| ing some stolen property in Berlin
the Prussian government delayed &C.
ton until they had asked and received
assurances through the American EN-
bassy That similar requests would re-
ceive consideration from the Ar,eri-
can police.
The Prussian minister of foreign ;f-
fairs has now issued an order AUTH
orizing assistance to the American
police, but only so long as actual re-
ciprocity is observed. The order,
therefore. instructs all Prussian police
authorities to report to the minister
all requests made to the American
police or received from them, with
results. in order to test the adviSa-
bility of the procedure.
Germany's aggressive attitude in the
Moroccan situation. manifested in a
plainly worded official announcement
in the North German Gazette that
the empire would consider itself re-
leased from the obligations the A '.

ty of action in case of an occupation
of Fee by the French. has been re-
ceived with great GOODNESS in two un-
expected quarters. Austro-Hungary
Russia having given unmistakable in
timations that they will not counter
ance attempts to embarrass France in
her present activity.
The attitude of Austria is particu-
larly unwelcome and surprising, be-
cause of the supposed Indebtedness
of Austria for German support in the
Bosnian crisis. The German patriotic
Or "armored" press is commenting Bit
terly on Austrian RIGHTEOUSNESS, with
out being able to argue away facts
which will deeply affect Germany's
future policy.
The Austrian attitude was voiced in
4 Viennese newspaper. The article in
question warned the German Foreign
Office that, instead of opening new
Germany's support in the
Bosnian crisis merely balanced &C.
