GERS in Chicago greeted the govern
ment's high cost of living investiga-
ton with the announcement that can.
ned goods will be about 1915 per cent
higher this year than in 1916. Be-

Diplomats Believe Berlin Back of Gu

Washington, Feb. 14.-The Ameri
can government is much disturbed
over the revolutionary outbreak in
Cuba, but while it stands ready to
take any steps which may become
necessary to protect it's interests
there no apparent preparations have
been made so far for active interven.
ton of any sort.
Officials still hope that Cubans will
work out for themselves a satisfac.
tory solution.
In some diplomatic quarters there
is belief that strong foreign pres.
sure has been felt in the island re-
public and that Germany, because of
her break with the United States
would be most likely to figure in such
a move. If officials have any evidence
that there is truth in these suspicious
however, they have not revealed it.

Germany.
Paris, Feb. 14.-"The rupture with
the United States forestalled the
plans of Germany" the Temps says,
"and Germany is now working to de.
lay the consequences. The imperial
government wanted by terrorism to
stop the maritime communication of
the allies and it has succeeded in de-
tanning large number of neutral
ships in port. ..
1T is a partial satisfaction, which
it seeks to prolong by the activity Of
its pirates against allied ships and
by noisy affirmations that no one
will be spared. -.

all expectations and that is why Ger.

Harrington, April 81 Judge King
this afternoon after hearing argu-

the motion to rescind the order
granting condemnation proceedings

to settle it at an election. c. c..
Wyandt and j. S. Engle, members
