the impending journey Of Chancellor Mi
chaeiis to the German federal capitals and
Vienna on the pretext that a new man
must present himself to the kaiser's vas

wants a conference with Germany's min

states are displeased with Michaelis'
words regarding the inner situation. above

 MT. c. E. Cook, formerly Pacific coast manager in San Francisco for the B. F. Goodrich Rubber company has been called to Akron, Ohio, to as sume a high post in the central organ ization. MT Cook during his service on the coast proved himself most valuable official and through his genial, pleasing personality made in numerable friends along the coast who are congratulating him upon his pro- motion.
 MT. Carroll took up his headquarters in San Francisco succeeding MT. Cook on February 1st. His territory will in clude all of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and portions of Idaho and Wyoming besides Australia, China, Japan and the Hawaiian Islands.
 The Los Angeles branch organization rendered MT. Carroll a loyalty ban uuet at the Alexandria on the night of January 26th at which time he was presented with a handsome watch as token of the esteem in which he is held by his men, In his speech of ac- ceptance MT.

 T feel hungry all the time" said the person addressed Extending his inveS tigations, the correspondent heard sim liar expressions from all sides. The most bitter complaints came from sol diers at home. When the writer last visited the front, in July, the mems rations were ample in every respect, and there is no reason to believe the same is not true today. The soldier at home thus notices the difference more keenly than do those who have had

There is no real coffee left. Some ! tea at high prices still is to be had but the poorer people drink a brew of lin- den blossoms, raspberry leaves, or leaves of other shrubs or trees. For the

assured his men that their own CO., operation had in a large measure been instrumental in his promotion and he earnestly exhorted them to continue their efforts into the new regime.
 The Los Angeles branch of the B. F. Goodrich company was opened in a store on Pico street near Grand avenue in January 1911 under MT. Carrol's management. During the first year of his work here, he doubled the sales of the Goodrich products in his terri tory which was considered a very re- markabie achievement as the line had been previously carried by one of the largest rubber jobbers on the coast. Two years later, it became necessary for the Goodrich company in Los An geles to enlarge it's quarters and they moved to Eleventh and Olive streets. About a year ago these quarters were found inadequate, and the large seven story building on Broadway near Tenth was taken. A large stock of tires is carried there by the company in order to meet the ever-increasing demand for the Goodrich products.
 As MT. Carroll will have the district management. he will frequently visit Los Angeles and will continue to keep a directing eye upon the activities of this branch.
Arizona republican., 1917-02-13

The announcement that MT. r. R.. Carroll has been promoted to district manager of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber company in charge of the Pacific Coast district with headquarters in San Francisco has been received in Los Angeles with little surprise by those who have followed MT. Carroll s career since he took charge of the Goodrich branch in Los Angeles about six years ago, have frequently pre- dicted that larger field for his activi- ties must be anticipated. His many friends here are glad to know of this recognition of his ability.
 MT. Carroll is an enthusiast particu- larly insofar as Goodrich products are concerned and this quality combined with his energetic, aggressive yet tact ful management has attributed much to his splendid success. While young in years, his strong judgment and keen insight into local conditions and his quickness to see and grasp opportuni- ties for extending the sales of the Goodrich line has easily placed him among the most successful branch managers in the Goodrich Organiza- tion. MT. Carroll is a strong advocate of advertising and believes that much of the success of the Goodrich com pany is due to its widespread publicity

 There is no meat, no cheese and no sausage, no butter on four or five days of the week, no more bottled beer and many saloonkeepers refuse to sell beer to be consumed off the premises. The beer, moreover, is all but undrinkable.
 There remains then only bread and

SEIZURE
 BILL DRASTIC SAY OWNERS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Committee consideration of the administration bill authorizing communicating of ships and shipping facilities in emergencies developed today that some of the more drastic provisions of the measure prob ably will be redrafted before it is brought up for passage.
 Chairman Denman and Theodore Brent of the shipping board, which drafted the bill and sent it to congress with the approval of President Wilson, appeared during the day before the senate commerce committee and the house merchant marine committee and gave it as their opinion that the au- thoriZations carried in the measure might be made less sweeping without seriously affecting their usefulness.
 The two board members said that during the past few days thev had been in consultation with owners of ship yards and with foreign interests having vessels building in the United States, and pointed out that the board is anxious not to embarrass foreigners who contemplate forming American corporations or operating ships under the American flag. As it now reads the bill would authorize the president in case of war or threatened war to take over any shipbuilding in this country, owned in this country, or under Ameri- can registry.
 It is possible that the section author iZing communicating of docks. ware houses and other instrumentalities of water commerce also may be changed The board does not feel that such seiz- ures would be advisable except in q time of actual hostilities. Some mem bers of the congressional committee: are understood to believe. on the othel hand, that certain authorizations ir the bill should not be limited to cases of hostilities or threatened hOstilities but broad standin~ authority shoulf be given the president so that he vii be free to deal with contingencies sucf as threatened trade war after the European war
 MT. Denamn and Mir. Brent earnestly urged that the bill be perfected ant passed as soon as possible, in order tC give the government that same ccntro over shipping as is exercised by Eu ropean governments.
