Unofficial Announcement Says Pact

With England Is Resigned to Pre-
vent Expansion of American Trade.
Washington, Dec. 30.AUloffi ial al
ices received here inGi, ats that the
ierman government is en-. eavorlng to
use her former grievance regarding
the American duty on Wood pulp as
ever to force the us.itel States to
give concessions regar ling the new
tariff law OF tlis country.
According to e&b.e aari es Ger
man governalent Eas refused the re
quest of the United States { at the dis
eliminating duty imposed on American
steel and ruboer sh~ eS be remoVeI
IN justification fer its refusal, 1t is as
serted, the German eo-eris1lent men
toned certain features o. tie new
tariff law witch it contonded were an
tagonistic to Germany and intimated
that if these were removed or mo i1fled
the discriminatory duties mig be re-
moved.
This demand on the part OF the Ger
mans has oScasioned much surprise,
and it was not thought at they would
care to resort to such pressure to gain
their point.
The United States in making its re-
quest for the removal Of the Iiscr1ml'
natory duties called Germany's atten.
ton to the tact that the original cause
of the imposition of the discriminatory
duties had been removed. There was
every expectation that the request
would promptly be complied with.
Officials of the state department
said they had not received any official
notice of Germany's refusal to grant
the American request, but there is
every reason to believe that the unofii-
cial advices received are correct.
The features of the new tariff law
to which objection is now brought are
those concerning the administration OF
the law.
Germany's refusal comes on the
heels of the unofficial announcement
Of the Anglo-German treaty to pre-
vent the extension of American trade.
The two powers, according to infor-
nation received in Washington, arc
operating under an agreement that is
designed to check the growth Of
American commerce In every market
In which it completes with German and
British interests.
It is understood that this govern.
ment has Instituted an inquiry through

ANOTHER AUDITING COMPANY
REPORT.

Since the Wilson Audit company
made its report the city council has
had another audit made by the Fair
mont Audit company. This report has
bcep completed some time, many
weeks, the audit company has been
paid for the service. The report has
not been made public AT this time. All
efforts to get peep at Its contents
have failed. Why does not the coun'
ell file this report in order that the
people may know the condition OF the
city affairs NOW? It is believed that
the startling disclosures of the Will.
son Audit company will be very great
ly eclipsed by the last report which
brings the affairs up to date. Ask your
councilman why they do not receive
this report and make it part OF the
city records siifce the company has al
ready been paid $500 for the work.
There are some people in the city who
believe that it will never be made pub.
lie and that it is kept safely under
lock and key away from public gaze.
The people want to know how matters
stand now and II they succeed in their
fight for a commission government they
will have a quarterly statement made
and made public. There is only one
way to correct present conditions and
that is tolgiye us a better system. Will
the people OF this city with its thirteen
millions OF taxable property stand idly
by and let their first opportunity for
4 better city government pass?

dead.
THE change didn't come all at once.
1t began 10 years ago The flannel
pettcoat went first. The shIrtwaist
then struck the knell OF dress lining.
Then it was discovered that unlined
skirts could be built. Seven years ago
the one-piece dress suddenly came TO
the front. Then went belts and col
lars. When the hobble skirt came
in three years ago the underskirt went
out. Women soon stopped wearing
three petticoats, then decided two
were too many, and finally took to
wearing tights. Everything is toward
simplicity. Four dresses and bat
can now be bought for what one COM

are untrlmmed.
