LANSING TELLS
GERMANY FACTS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. Sec
rotary of State Robert Lansing has
told Germany that the recall of Cap
tain Boy-ed and Won Papen was asked
entirely because of their military and
naval activities. The reply to the
German inquiry was made in long
communication delivered the embassy
1t was forwarded to Berlin Immediate
ly. The embassy refused to comment.
Secretary Lansing also sent reply
to Germany through Ambassador Ger
ard. Although there is no indication
that the text will be given out, it can
be authoritatively stated that it de-
c,ares the American governments ac-
ton was caused by the military and
naval activity of the attaches coupled
with circumstances of an accumula-
tive nature deemed sufficient for ac-
ton. These alone are responsible.
The accumulation of circumstances
and conditions by inference, if not
otherwise, connected the attaches with
attempts to violate the neutrality laws
Of the United States.

RETAIL MERCHAN IS
WILL ORGANIZE IN
A PULL FOR TRADE

The retail merchants of the city will
meet at the Chamber of Commerce
Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock for
the purpose of organizing a Retail
Merchants association for Amaricus.
This organization will affiliate with
the Chamber of Commerce and will In
stall many new and novel things to
bring business to Americas.
At this meeting plan will be form
ed for paying railroad fares to per-
sens coming into the city of Americas,
and who trade with the merchants
here for cash. Another very novel
plan and the first to be worked in the
South will be the allowing of two and
a-half cents per mile, each way, 10
those who come in their automobiles.
This is the first plan of this kind to be
worked out by the merchants in the
South. This puts those who come by
auto on a par with those who come by
rail, both being allowed 1-2 cents a
mile travelled, if they purchase to
the amount of $500.
These purchases do not have to be
from one firm. but can be from sew
eraI different firms, but when the sum
total has reached $500, they are en-
titled to a check for their railroad
or auto fare, both ways. Still they
may make all their purchases from one
merchant, if they so desire, and they
will get the allowance just the same
All the customer has to do is to go
around the city and make her pur-
chases from the merchants, taking a
receipt for each purchase made, then
they will bring these receipts to the
office of the Chamber of Commerce and
Secretary Manager Hyman will issue
check for their, round-trip fare. The
only stipulation on the purchaser will
be that they will be required to take
a receipt from their railroad agent for
their tickets, before coming to Ameri-
Gus.

report OF the Secretary OF the Treas
ury, repeated In the message Of the
President, now says II was siOi 100000
In round figures. This seems to have
been accomplished by adding in over
SlS,OOO,O0O OF money deposited for the
redemption of bank notes and over
S. 100000. which the Secretary OF the
Treasury says was included In the re-
vised details although not received un-
IN the FOLLOWING day.
"A still more surprising change was
made October /. The funds in the
Treasury shrunk rapidly at the rate
of about $4,000, 900 a month from June 1
to September 90. The Treasury ball
Anoe had fallen TO $40. 900, 900, according
to the statement OF that date. and
evidently this condition was alarming,
as Mr.. McAdoo marked It up overnight
to S12S 600 900. This was done by not
only including the amount OF the re-
demptiOn fund. but also SOL, 900 900 which
had been deposited to the credit OF dis
bursting officers.
"The condition OF the Treasury can
best be understood when Il Il made
known that II the amount of silver
bullion, subsidiary silver, minor coin,
redemption fund, and disbursing Of
ticers' credits were omitted from the
resources, the balance In November
would have been on the wrong side.
LAS none Of these items ought to be
included in obtaining a free working
balance, the country Is being grossly
misled as to actual working conditions
in the Treasury"
