Mr. F. D. Browne was next called. He said he was in charge of the Fairbanks division of the Alaskan Engineering commission as member of commission and that he had been summoned by the defense and was there as a witness and had accepted witness fees. Curtis, he said, had absolute control as custodian of government property until the last day of May, when MT. Browne wrote him that he would accept his resig- nation. The letter was so worded
 out of consideration for Curtis position. He stated that it was not proper, under the regulations, to loan government property. If such loans were now being made it was against all rules and regulations and in direct violation of his orders and he would like to hear of any such

violation of the rules. He said he had nothing to do with having Curtis brought back. In reply to MT. Pratt he said that there was no book of rules that he knew of for the guid- ance of the employees of the de- partment, but that there were a lot of circulars issued, clearly defining such duties. He also explained the meaning of a clearance or certifi- cate of discharge.
 He said he had no conversation with Curtis after the last day of May and did not recollect anything about Curtis asking for clearance. At the request of MT. De Journel, MT. Pratt, the prosecuting attorney, produced a telegram from MT. Riggs to himself, which stated that he

closest advisers have disagreed as to
what his pinion was, and the democra-
Tiers and nQndemocratizers each have
thought that the President agreed with
them.
Recently the newspaper men were
officially informed that the Presidents
position was that Germany could keep
its present form of government II the
German people waited to do so, and
the recent speech in New York, with
it's reference to persons at the peace
counsel who could not be trusted,
seemed to indicate that a fortnight
ago the Presidents mind still ran in
the direction of non-interference.
But the President may be convinced
now that he can get out of Germany
in the way of surrender practically
what he wants. Great significance Is
attached here to the dropping from the
German communication of the habit

ernment" and the use in its stead ol

that Allied labor and Socialist opinion
will sustain him in making a demand

Much depends upon his estimate OF
the Allied labor Socialist attitude al
