sold him one OF the horses for $50. He
traded off the double harness to Mr..
Schwieger for a single harness and
also traded off the wagon poles for

the young man to lunch. and they
ate together. Then Bernhardt drove

GERMAN Govt DOES NOT
EXPECT LEGISLATION HERE TO
PROHIBIT EXPECTATION OF ARMS

Washington, Jan. 1.-The German
government, according to statements
today before the House foreign at
fairs committee, does not expect legis-
lation in this country to prevent the
expectation of arms and ammunition
to the European belligerents. Chair
man Flood said he understood that
the German government, through its
foreign office. had taken this position
and Rep. Metz of New York told the
committee that he recently had talked
with high authorities in Berlin. who
held that the United States was with
in its rights under international law
in permitting trade in war supplies
with the belligerents.'
Floods Statement
Chairman Flood made his statement
in the course of an argument with
Rep Bartholdt, who was before the
committee advocating his resolution
which would empower the President to
prohibit such expectations. He asked
Rep Bartholdt if this attitude on the
part Of the German government would
alter his conviction as to the necessity
for the proposed legislation. The latter
replied that his opposition to the
traffic in war supplies was not con-
trolled by the German government
but was based on a sense of 'Interna-
tional morality"
Todays session concluded the case
presented by the supporters Of the
Bartholdt resolution. Chairman Flood
and other Democratic members Of the
committee do not favor any action al
this time which would alter this coun-
trys relations with European ma
tons.
Tells Barthoidt
Chairman Flood made his statement
to Representative Bartholdt, who was
making a general argument for his
resolution to stop exports at a public
hearing today,
German Understanding
Suppose" he asked Bartholdt, that
YOU understood that the German gov
eminent through the German foreign
Office had said that it did not expect
this government to pass this lesisla-
ton Would you support it,
Representative Bartholdt asserted
that he knew nothing of the attitude
Of the German government and that
he and his associates opposed the eX-
portation Of arms on the grounds of
international immortality"
Chairman Flood repeated the state
ment in his question and added:
