BERLIN LAYS RELIEF
FAILURE TO BRITISH
Polish Fiasco Declared Due to
Counter Proposal Delay.

Berlin, June 9 (by wireless to Say
Vile, y. Y.)-The German reply to the
British counter proposals regarding the
distribution of relief among civilians
in Poland is, according to an Overseas
News Agency, largely an argument to
show the unreasonableness of the stand
taken by the British.
Great Britain insisted in her pro-
posals that not only the territory occu-
pied by the Germans, but that held by
the Austrians, should be included in the
relief plan, and that the populations Of
Serbia, Albania and Montenegro should
be properly cared for, as well. After
declaring the new German proposals
embrace the utmost concessions Of
Germany. the reply continues:
"The British objections to the last
German proposals make necessary pro-
tracted negotiations between Germany
and Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria. As
the relief plan covered only the period
ending October /, the delay would make
the relief useless.
"The British government did not re-
ply until May 10 to- the German pro-
posals, which were Submitted at Lon
don on February 2l."

ASKS $4,000 FOR WOE
GERMANS TRUNK MADE
Ike Rose Was Arrested and
Spent $167, He Says in Suit.

When Ike Rose, who is proud of the
fact that he is a peaceful, law abiding,
neutral citizen Of the United States
started home from Holland last fall
somebody mixed the baggage, and a
trunk that didn't belong TO him was
hoisted aboard the Holland America
liner Rotterdam. As consequence,
Rose says in suit begun yesterday in
the Federal Court, he had series of
most unpleasant experiences.
When The liner reached Falmouth
the trunk was examined. Rose was
Mortified, he says. to find that It was
packed with German propaganda lit
erature. He was hustled ashore, con-
veyed under an armed guard TO London,
lodged in a cell at Scotland Yard, and
later brought before court of in
quiry, which released him after two
days imprisonment.
To take ship for New York he was
then obliged to go by way of Liverpool.
This cost him railroad fare and hotel
bills amounting TO S62, TO say nothing
Of sos additional steamer fare. He
believes $4,000. the amount demanded
in his suit, Will compensate him.

London, June 8. -Americans domi-

No abatement will be granted on

TO purchase securities outright.
If Americans resident here deposit
their American securities held in the

collect the interest and pay it to the
