connection with States Attorney Maclay
Hoyne's crusade to ''clean up" the police
department have been obtained, Mr..
Hoyne said tonight. They came from
men arrested in the last "a hours and one
of them, he said, bears directly on his
charge of extortion, bribery and con-
spracy against Chief of Police Charles
Healy. The chief, during whose admin
istration Mr.. Hoyne alleges that crime
has been rampant in the city, wrote wha,
is probably his last communication to
the city council today. 1t was a reques,
for an appropria ton of $1,000 to analyze
beer and other drinks taken in saloon
raids. Healy resigned several weeks ago,
effective Jan. II.
Eleven persons so far have been taken
into custody on authority of the states

German Newspaper
defends American Sale
of Munitions to Entente

Berlin, Jan. 9.-(Via London).-The de-
livery of American ammunition to the
beliieerents is defended by the Lokai
Anzeiger in a half-column article pub
lished in connection with its comment
upon the opinion voiced by Ambassador
Gerard at the dinner given to him by
I.the American Association OF Commerce
and Trade. The paper says 1t has the
greatest satisfaction concerning MI
Gerard's utterances, but some doubt as
to the finished diplomacy of some parts
of his address.
There are, unfortunately says the
Anzeiger, too many people in Germany
who regard as degradation anything
achieved by yielding. and who belittle
anything not gained with the fist. Mean
while the number of Germany's enemies
has SO increased that it is desirable to
build golden bridges for those real or
would be enemies who manifest a desire
to revise their earlier opinions"
In it's defence of the delivery of Amer
lean war munitions after expressing graf
ification that the tide of criticism in the
German press has receded, the Lokal An
zeiger says:
TT must always be recalled to the
German Yankee haters' that their
standpoint is legally wrong, that The
Hague convention distinctly permits
neutrals to make deliveries of ammu-
milton and that Germany's representa-
tives in that convention expressly op-
posed changing this clause.
Despite the large number who loud
1xy lot
would not harm Germany, there still
are wide circles Of persons who would
like to see the war brought to a close
