The military element of Germany Is
making a determined stand to prevent
the diplomatic party making to the
United States any concessions that will
emphasize the dominance of the latter.
according to both official and unofficial
advices from Berlin.
The reason is declared to be a belief
that II the United States secures all
the concessions demanded by the Presi-
dent a mistaken impression will get
abroad among Germany's enemies that
she Ia fearful of eventual defeat. The
conflict ut Berlin Is declared to be the
first real difference of opinion that has
developed since the war began, and at
the present time the outcome is in
doubt.
The military marty is apparently will
ing to concedc to the United States the
proDr.ety OF Its position that American
citizens are entitled to the protection OF
their Government under all circum-
sta nces. And 1t Is also said to be
willing to admit that American citizens,
and other neutrals. have a perfect right
under international law to go any where
they please.

But the leaders Of this party are urg-
ing the government to put squarely up
to the United States the proposition

for serious consideration the suggestion
of former Secretary Of State Bryan that
the navigation laws be so construed as

Robert d. Cameron, chief of detec-
tives of Philadelphia, Pa, relative TO a
world wide search being instituted for
the parents of 4-year-old waif found
in the streets of New York, Sept u,
1914. The child gives his name as
Austin McCIeary OF Philadelphia. but
no trace of his parents has been found
in the Quaker city.
The child is handsome and bright
and evidently comes from wealthy
parentage. His aIIuring smile won him
a host of friends, and prominent
lawyer of New York is instituting the
search. The case Is one of the most
banling to come into the hands of the
authorities in the east for some time.
The boy was found lying on the
steps of a cathedral at Fifth avenue
and Fiftieth street, New York, by a
policeman. At first he gave his name
as John Doe, and later persisted that
il was Austin McCleary.

upon the case as a kidnapping Incl

that the boy may have been kidnapped
two or three years ago. released by
his captors last fall, and given up as
dead by his parents. In spite of the
