GET THEIR BEER AT NIGHT.
Munich Revelers Find a Way ia
Outwit the Closing Law.
'oreisn Correspondence OF The Star.


MUNICH. March % 1919
Since the closing of the Odeon Casino
the Munich police have been stricter
than ever with all other night restau-
rants, with the result that the uninitiated
find it impossible to get as much as a
sandwich or glass of beer after 3
o'clock in the morning.
The Central Railway station has an
excellent buffet and restaurant, and this
establishment. on account Of night trains,
has to remain open through the night.
Like all good railway restaurants in Ba-
varia, it sells good beer and cold sausa ges.
The Central Railway station also sells
automatically penny tickets for the sta
ton away across the Isar-the south
station.
The program for the nocturnal reveler.
therefore. is to wait until the closing
hour at one of the night restaurants in
town, saunter down to the station, buy
penny ticket, show it first to the watch
full police fwho allow only more or less
bona fde passengers to visit the buffet,
and then to the platform ticket puncher
and finally to make for the hOspitable
buffet. The buffet at this hour is a
CHEEKY spectacle-scarcely standing room,
every seat taken and every newcomer
greeted with cheers and proclaimed as a
potential explorer-not so much OF the
south pole as Of the Enthusiastically Wis
tied South station.

RECIPROCITY IN TRADE
WITH FOREIGN NATIONS
Effort to Widen Markets for
American Products Feature
of Tariff Bill.

An attempt to widen the foreign
market for American goods and TO en-
courage reciprocity treaties with all
foreign nations is embodied in the new
tariff bill introduced today in a clause
empowering the President to grant
favors TO any nation that gives mutual
concessions to the United States
The reciprocity clause takes the
place of the penalty clause Of the pres
ent tariff law by which it was sought
to secure special concessions to the
United States. The new tariff bill pro-
poses that the normal tariff rates shall
be the maximum, and that special
rates shall be granted to countries
that will enter into reciprocity treaties
with the United States. In the present
law the normal rates are the minimum.
Clause for Wider Markets.
The clause designed to open wider
the markets for American exports
throughout the world is as follows:
That for the purpose of readjusting
the present duties on imports into the
United States, and at the same time to
encourage the export trade of this
country, the President of the United
States is authorized and empowered to
negotiate trade agreements with for
egn nations wherein mutual conces-
sions are made looking toward freer
trade relations and further reciprocal
expansion of trade and commerce"
Such reciprocity agreements. under the
new law, would have to be approved by
Congress before becoming effective. In
a statement accompanying the bill Chair
man Underwood declared that under the
Payne law the United States had at
tempted Ito expand our commerce by
force
I'VE went to the nations of the world
with the demand that they stand and de-
liver. or We would punish them he said
MANY years ago this system of expand
ing trade and commerce was abandoned
by the enlightened nations. The only true
course that can be pursued to expand our
foreign trade along rational IAHs is
through mutual concessions that may
prove beneficial to both of the contract
ing parties. free from coercion
