comes law the administration will pro-
test under the favored nation clause of
treaties between the United States and
Germany.
In discussing the question Of whether
the American government had the right
to protest against 4ermanys enact
ment of law creating a monopoly,
officials pointed to the existence of
government tobacco monopolies in
Italy and Austria, and suggested that
the question was purely internal and
one In which another government could
not interfere Should any property be
conf1scated or condemned as q result
of the new law, it is understood an
arbitration board to adjust claims has
been arranged for by Germany.
Decision Expected in Berlin.
BERLIN, March 1.-THE decision of the
United States government not to protest
in favor Of the Standard OIL Company
conforms with the expectations Of tho
German government, it was announced
today. A representative Of the govern

of the bill in the imperial parliament that
American retalsatory action might be a
deterrent factor against the legisla ton,
but asserted he was confident this would
not occur. 1t Is generally understood here
that the Standard Oil Company is not ask
ing the American government to protest
against the German oil monopoly. the es-
tabliShment of which is we'll within the
prerogatiNe of the German government.
The company however. wishes the Amer
lean government to support its demand
that the German monopoly bill be amend
ed in order to compensate the company
for its loss of business and its invest
ments in Germany.
The bill profssses to compensate the
Standard Oil Company. but only for the
equipment of it's wholesale business es-
tablished before March. 1912, within the
customs limits. Nothing is to be given

of the bill excludes compensation for the

Although the United States government
has not protested against the passage Of
the oil monopoly bill it recently requested

standpoint.
The German imperial parliament did
not pay any heed to this request. but
continued its discussion of the measure

A PLACE NOT ON THE MAP.
Yet GirlviIle Is a Pleasant Place, With
Some Drawbacks.

Girlville-a pleasant alluring little
hamlet on the road to the tablelands
of Matrimony, with branch line that
connects with the Old Maid range of
foothills.
At one time this place depended al
most entirely upon nature for its APP
pearance Bucolic colors were FREEDOM,
inant, and there was simplicity about
it very pleasing and restful to the eye.
OF late years. however, the city paint
ers and decorators have come in and
with their colors have given it smart.
artificial appearance. which for many
old fashioned people has largely cur
tailed its charm Girlville, indeed. now
has reputation for cheap display
which no other place can hope to rival.
Girlville at one time was governed
almost entirely by an eminently re
spectacle body called elders. but IL
has long since scornfully discarded
their help and governs itself. or. at
least. claims the right to do So
Its principal industries are ragtime,
fiction. silk stockings. velvet slippers
and red paint There is also a large
spoon factory on the edge Of the town
An appeal to the legislature to have
the name Girlville changed to Chat
terfeld was refused on the ground that
Chatterville and Girlville are already
synonymous.
The inhabitants of Girlville are ex-
tremely restless and tickle. Not salts
fed with the place. they are constantly
attempting to leave II and, after leav.
ing. to get back again. L.
