Some color was lent TO this story by
the fact that the baron often left the

covered with decorations.
Eventually NJ Dreifus was introduced

This information was conveyed last
night by the Bishop OF Lincoln to a
meeting OF the National Union of Wom-
ems Suffrage societies. over which he
presided in Lincoln. The bishop was re-
house OF the convention OF Canterbury
province. IN withdrawing his amendment
to omit the word obey
He said he thought the word was su-
perfluous and undesirable Some years
ago he begged the bishops TO consider q
chang but did not then press his views,
But they were now drawing near the end
prayer book. and II. therefore. seemed
time that he should press the matter,
Hence his submission OF resolutions TO
the house last Friday.
The bishops reason on this occasion
for withdrawing his amendments was be-
cause he thought he would not get a
quiet. sympathetic debate, The Bishop OF
Oxford who was ready to second the
amendments had expressed sorrow that
he withdrew. because he had quantity
OF most interesting data he would have
liked to lay before the house and be-
fore the public,
DIR, Gore had pursued the liturslcal his

assured him that as the result of these

BERLIN, March 2l,-The decision Of
the United States government not to
protest in favor of the Standard Oil
company against the German oil mo.

German government. A representative

iatory action might be deterrent fac
tor against the legislation, but asserted
that he was confident this would not
be taken.
1t is generally understood here that
the Standard Oil company is not asking
the American government to protest
against the German oil monopoly, the
establishment Of which is well within the
prerogativc of the German govehnment.
The company, however, wishes the
American government to support its de-
mand that the German monopoly bill be
amended adequately in order to COM
pensate the company for its loss Of bus
mess and its investments in Germany.

the equipment Of its Wholesale business
established before March, 1912, within
the customs limits. Nothing is pro-
posed to be given for the retailing
equipment, which cost S2,000,o00, or
for good will.
The wording of the bill excludes COM
peusation for the refinery in the free
port Of Bremen, outside Of the customs
zone or for the expensive establishment
at Hamburg, started two years ago.
| Although the United States govern.

requested postpouemeut of action in
the matter, pending determination of the
American standpoint The German i'm:
perial parliament did not pay any heed
to this request, hut continued its dis

The progress made there is very slow,
but the ultimate enactment Of the bill
appears TO be certain, although an al.

company, to give guarantee mott mot to ,s sx-

consideration.
