ARGUE STEEL CASE
Government Renews Trust Busting Eff
fort in U. S. Supreme Court.

Washington. March Clearing of
the governments suit to dissolve the
United States steel corporation was
begun today by the supreme court.
An array of counsel for both sides
appeared in the hearings that are
expected to last until the middle of
next week.
Federal attorneys opened the argu-
ments, the government having APP
pealed from dismissal by the New
Jersey federal district court of its
suit which was begun in 1911 in Presi-
dent Taft's administration. The prin-
cipal idea of the prosecution is domi-
nation by the corporation in the iron
and steel industry is said to furnish
more than one-haf of the national
production and to control prices. By
its formation in 1901 the government
alleges competition was illegally
stifled.
The defense is that the combination
has actually operated beneficially, has
not oppressed competitors nor the
public and is not illegal merely be-
cause of its size and combined assets.

Death Europe Civilization"

Berlin, March 9.-(via wireless to
the United Press)-Picturing America
as the "gleeful beneficiary at the
death bed of European civilization
the Berliner Tageblatt today in an
editorial viciously assailed President
Wilson's abrupt change of front from
his speech of December to his present
attitude, particularly as revealed in
his inaugural address.
None of the state lo lders of bellig-
erent countries or of neutrals have
spoken as often as President wilson,
the newspaper asserted. "Altho Amer
lea is the least affected by the war
she is a gleeful beneficiary at the
death bed of European civilization.
Wilson's intention to change the idea
of neutrality is evident from each
successive speech, in spite of the ira
dition of Americas reserve from hav-
ing hand in the developments of the
war.

ton of what Wilson wants with war
because Wilson's chief opponent and
