ROOT HOLDS THE ATTENTION OF
 SOCIALISTS
Accomplishes Feat that Never Before Was Attained by a
 Foreigner.

MOSCOW, June 25.-Elihu Roots address Sunday was the first time a foreigner ever succeeded in en- listing the attention and interest of Moscow's Socialists. The meet ing was in the nature of test to determine whether the American Commission was to have the real sympathy of the Socialist element in the country
 AS Root began to speak the an- tagonism and indifference yielded to rapt attention and he was warm ly applauded at the conclusion.
 We have seen nothing since we came to Russia" said MT. Root. that gives cause for criticism. We marvel at the self-control and kind illness, spirit and sound common sense, that the Russians display. We feel that the work you are doing in committees is on the right path toward an actual permanent democ- racy.
 'Germany, the German social syS- ltiu anu cFcH tHc 0Ci ihdh 0oNioi ists are militaristic in their essen tial nature. They should not gain control of free America and if we can help you to prevent their gain- ing control of free Russia we shall be happy in feeling that we have assisted in perpetuating the ideals of our fathers who fought and sac rificed to make us free.'
 On motion of the mayor the meeting unanimously decided to send telegram to President Will son thanking him for sending Root and the commission to Russia.

Food Situation Is Such That Misstep Might Plunge Germany
 into An Abyss.
ECONOMIC TROUBLES
Germany Short of Many Things; but Food and Fodder Play Most
 Important Part.

LONDON, June 25.-Prof. E. Sef- ton Delmer, released two weeks ago from Germany. gave today written statement about conditions there. in which he said the nations food sit nation was so precarious that sin gle mis-step might plunge it at any moment into an abyss.
 Prof. Delmer was professor in Berlin University when the war be- gan. He was held there until past military age. His statement is in re ply to the question:
 Does Germany still think she can hold out?"
 "If I were to form an impression from German newspapers alOne," he replied. q should answer emphatical- ly, Yes If I were to judge from the opinions of persons with whom came into contact in Berlin. should say, I have me doOts.' My doubts are based rather on economic than on military insufficiency. The things Germany is principally short of are:
 |. Foodstuffs.
 2. Fodder.
 3. Transportation materials, such as railroad rolling stock and horses
 4. Raw materials, such as leather, wool. cotton, lubricants and rubber
 5. Workmen.
 Tn these various categories food and fodder shortage play the most important part-so important tht il the government does not walk with the greatest wariness it may prove disastrous The economic margin is so narrow that single false steT to either side may plunge the na tion into an abyss"

DECIDES ON TEN PER
CENT BOOST IN TAXES
County Equalization Board Ac-
cepts Proposition Of 1.-THE
Increase Instead of As.
SCISSORS Figures.

The county equalization board last
might accepted the proposition OF more
than seventy-hve OF the biggest firms
and corporations of the city to accept
tax boosts this year, amounting to 10
per cent increase over their last years S
assessments,
The firms were represented by ]. A.
c, Kennedy and after the proposition
was accepted, the names OF the firms
were read off, last years figures Sc
cured, 10 per cent added and the fig-
ures so secured declared by unani-
nous vote OF the board, excepting As
SCISSOR Fitzgerald, to be the tax as
sessment for this year.
Some OF the firms had made returns
that amounted to even more than the
10 per cent raise over their last years
assessments. Many others had made
returns lower than their last years
| assessments. But these, too, accepted
| 10 per cent increase. All of them re-
ceived big reductions from the start
ling assessments made by the assessor
this year.
In some cases the board made as
sessments even lower than asked.
This was the case with Hayden Bros.
Commissioner Mcdonald and others
declared this firms assessment OF last
year, $275,000 was too high and in
sisted on making it only $225,000 this
year.

HAS POLICE JUDGE
POWER TO SUSPEND?
Interesting Point Touching on
Bootlegging Is Now on Trial
Before the District
Court.

From the array of legal talent on
the floor and in the galleries the man
damus>ease brought by City Prosecu-
tor Mcclure against Police Judge
Madden before Judge Sears, looks
like the vital point in the enforce
ment of Nebraska's new dry law. The
records and testimony were brought
out yesterday, with the argument yet
TO come. At one stage OF the pro-
eeedings there was fireworks, when
Mullen and Lambert each accused the
other OF pettifoggng.
The facts developed that one Ed
ward Smith, alias Christopher, a for
mer bartender, was adjudged guilty
OF bootlegging and sentenced by the
police judge to thirty days imprison-
ment, with sentence suspended. Nc
CURE, for the city, is asking that Po-
lice Judge Madden be ordered to send
the prisoner to jail. Mcclure insists
that under the law Judge Madden has
no right to suspend sentence after
conviction. Madden's privilege to turn
bootleggers loose is being defended
