Private Puterbaugh
Writes Americans
Won't Stand
For Crqelties

Dr.. A. D. Puterbaugh, of Kathleen,
was made happy this morning by re-
ceiving six letters from his son, Pri-
vate Roy Puterbaugh, who is now with
the army of occupation in Germany.
and from whom no letters had come
since October 49,. Naturally Dr.. Pu-
terbaugh has been very anxious for
the safety of his son, and not having
heard from him since the armistice
was signed, he had wired to various
government officials and exerted ev-
cry effort to learn Of his whereabouts,
but no word came until this morning
when he received six letters, all OF
which were full Of interesting infor'
nation.
In one of his letters he stated the
Germans had been treating the Amer
leans fine, but that the French de
cided to give the Germans taste OF
the treatment they had accorded them
in war, and this the Americans re-
sented.. A battle followed and two
Americans and eight Frenchmen were
killed.
Private Puterbaugh Is attached tc
Battery F of the 340th Field Artillery
and was marching on Metz the da!
the armistice was signed.

SUBJECT.
 OF HOT DEBATE
Complaints Against It Re ceived From Manu-
 lecturers.

Washington, Feb. s - Inquiries have been sent by the State Depart ment to Great Britain. France and Italy regarding the British import embargo, the French cartel system and the Italian system of supervision of purchases, all of which have an eff feet on American industries.
 The British embargo has been the subject of warm debate in the Senate, where there is pending resolution by Senator Weeks of Massachusetts asking for information from the State Department, and it was learned today that various complaints against it have been received by the State Department from manufacturers.
 Protests have been based on the claims that operation of the em- bargo involves discrimination.
 Officials said today no evidence of discrimination had been presented and unless discrimination existed, the United States would have little ground on which to base any protest, inasmuch as it was recognized the countries of Europe were compelled to protect themselves during the re- adjustment of the industries to a peace basis.

CITY DIRECTED
 JITNEY SERVICE TO BREAK STRIKE
Inaugurated in Seattle ill Compliance With Order
 of Mayor.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. S-City- direct ed automobile jitney service was in augurated in Seattle today to break the strike in compliance with the mayors ultimatum that the strikers would have to call of a sympathetic strike at 8 o'clock this morning or he would operate all essential indus tries.
 Interest in the general strike of 900 workers here centered early today in the reiterated announcement by Mayor Ole Hanson that unless the sympathetic strike to aid 25,O0O striking shipyard workers was called off at o'clock this morning he would proceed to operate all essential indus tries under protection. This protec- tion would be extended to include formal request through the ordinary channels for martial law, should such a measure become necessary. Nearly a thousand troops, in com
 mand of Brigadier- General John l.. Hayden are in the city, 1t was an-
 nounced officially. Since their ar
 rival late Thursday, they have been
 stationed about government buildings and along the water front. It was
 stated early today that conference between a committee of business men headed by Mayor Hanson and a com mittee of seven representing the strike committee had failed to evolve settlement.
 At the same time set by Mayor Hanson for the expiration of his ulti-
 matum, the operation of street cars on the municipal lines was to be re- sumed. In a proclamation issued
 yesterday the mayor stated that the
 street cars of the municipal line, as
 well as the city light plant and water
 system, would be operated by soldiers l If necessary. Three of the eighteen
 engineers at the city light plant quit
 their posts yesterday, their places be- ing filled with non-union volunteer
 workers, according to J. D. Ross, su- perintendent of the city light de. partment.

CABINET MAKEUP GREAT PROBLEM
5 Constitution Discussed At Meeting of German States.

Weimar, Friday, Feb. 7.---By The Associated Press )---The composition of the cabinet appears to be the prin- capal problem commanding the atten- ton of the new German lawmakers meeting here in the national assem- ply. The original proposition was to form ministry of 15 members, seven of whom should be Majority Social ists. four Centrists and four Demo- crats. The majority, however, are understood to be contending that they should be certain to have a majority which the Independent Socialists can- not disturb by any political maneuyer Participation of the Centrists in the formation of the cabinet was assured by the action taken at their meeting yesterday in which they decided to work with the new government.
 The constitution was again discuss ed at a meeting attended by represen- tatives of the various German states today in which Dr. Ludo Hartmann Austrian minister to Germany, took part.
 The new ministers probably will bear the title of Imperial minister '' instead of "state secretary" Sever al of them will be without portfolio even though additional portfolios b. created. The finance ministry will be divided into two departments, one for special. technical details and tc deal with loans, and the other to be the department of the imperial treas. ury, for the administration of social. ized public works. It is possible that
 8 labor ministry will be created. A demobilization ministry and aI
 economic ministry are believed to bt
 certain of formation, in addition tt the reformation of the imperia treasury department.
 Although the subject of the consti tuition was on today's program, 1t wa. believed that 1t would be impossible | to reach it before tomorrow.
