'JAGOW DISCUSSES
 PRESIDENTS NOTE Thinks Facts Should Be Es- tablished Before Merits
 Are Taken Up

Berlin, June 4-(via London, 2:sO D. m ) The Kreuz zeitung today publishes the substance of the Interview given to the Associated Press May 30 by Foreign Min ister Won Jagow on Germany's answer to the Washington note, in which he said he believed it essential to establish a com mon basis of fact before entering on a discussion of the issues involved. This is done, the paper explains, on the strength of the report reaching Berlin from the Reuter- Telegram company of LGndon, that the forthcoming American note to Germany foreshadows a sever- ance of diplomatic relations.
 Continuing, the Kreuz Zeitung says:
 We want to remind America once more that Great Britain bears the responsible ity for the submarine war. Germany would have stopped it had Great Britain been willing to give up her war of star vation. At one time America could have exerted pressure on Great Britain to this end, but it did not do so.
 "Now that the war of starvation has failed, America comes forward with the unusual proposal that we shall stop the submarine war. Naturally, there can bt no talk of this. Foreign Secretary Vor Jagow has pointed out what can be done for the safety of American passengers and American ships. Americans again are shown the way to reconciliation ant the protection of their real interests.
 But it appears, if one may trust the reports about the new note that they dc not wish to find this way, but rather dc they desire to lend their moral support to Great Britain, in whose interests they long ago gave up real neutrality. Let them do 1t. The value of diplomatic re- lations with the United States has to us become rather imaginary

TRADE COMMISSION
 ENDS ITS HEARINGS

New York, June 4.-The federal trade commission concluded it's hearing in this city today after number of business men had appeared before it and given their views regarding the proposal to permit American manufac- turers to combine for the purpose of competing in foreign markets, princi- pally In South America, with exporters of other nations.
 With few exceptions, the witnesses, all of whom were connected in one way or another with the export busi- ness. agreed that exporting combina- tion Were necessary if competition abroad was to be successful. Such combinations, it was suggested, might fix foreign prices and divide among their members expenses attendant upon the marketing of goods. The general opinion seemed to be that such combi- nations would not in any manner af- feet domestic prices. Many of the wit nesses said they believed such co-oper- ation was impossible unless the Shor- man antitrust law should be amended
 Dates for further hearings by the commission have not been set.

There has been, however, marked change in the character of the new pub lications; naval and military books pre- dominate significantly enough we note that in England the number of religious works published in 1914 was S69. an in- crease of So over the total of the pre- vious year.

King was out at first beyond a ques- tion of doubt.
 Ut is great surprise to me that an inexperienced man like this young Stradford is allowed to continue as an umpire by the president when he is so unfitted for that kind of work. It Is rather hard on men who are play ing baseball for a living to be forced to suffer from such decisions as this and while I do not think this young fellow Stradford Intentionally robbed us, I attribute such a decision as he made on the play covering King to in- competence. Today's game is the second in the last three days that has been taken from us by umpires. The other game was lost on a miserable decision by Chestnut"
