COLLECTION TRIED
OUT.

Several times in recent years the
matter of garbage collection by the
city has been agitated and as often
the discussion has amounted to moth

Apathy concerning the necessity of
such collection as a sanitary meas

it would cost the city are probably
responsible for Dickinson's not

awake to the evils resulting from

that Mr.. House was not authorized to

ally expected to learn much Of inter-
est about the diplomatic situation
there when the Colonel returned in

his own initiative but that the Presi-

measures undertaken by Americans
abroad.

Many diplomats here, however,
were inclined to believe that the trip

tons under which the beligerents
would make peace. Colonel House is
on intimate terms with some Of the
principal foreign secretaries of Eu-
