Paris, Jan. 2s.-By virtue OF
agreement made at Treves by the
allied commissioners 100000 tons OF
German passenger ships are put at
the immediate disposal of the United
States. These will not fly the
German flag and they will not be
manned b. German sailors. They
will be used to take the soldiers
back home as rapidly as possible,
returning with cargoes of food
stuffs for Europe, including certain
parts of Germany, where the food
distress threatens serious famine.
The government of the United
States has sent its experts into
every part of Europe TO report the
most reliable information regarding
conditions throughout Germany;
hence America can rely upon il that
their representatives in Paris will
have the facts at their finger ends
before taking any important steps
and whatever measures are taken
will be based on reliable data.
Allies Also Aiding.
They have ready many of these re-

MANIAC CASE
STILL BATTLES
Major Pullman Reports No
Important Development
on Fifth Day.

The only development reported by
the police yesterday in the progress
of their search for the "madman of
the northwest was the detention for
questioning of a polish peddler, who
gave himself up at No. Precinct last
night when he learned that the police
were looking for a man who answered
his description.
Instructions had been sent out by
Maj. Pullman to every policeman to
look out for the polish peddler, follow
ing a report to headquarters that such
a man had been seen around an apart
ment house Monday morning acting
"queerlySt

toned by Detective Sergt. Burlin-
game. However. it is said that he
had a patent car attachment for pre-
venting wrecks.
According to reports TO the police
which have not been verified, the
peddler in question is said to have
made very extravagant claims as to
the qualities of his patent. He is
reported to have claimed that it has
been in more than 100 railway wrecks
and that it has prevented in each
case the loss of a single life, and
that he had been offered 10000 for
it. but would not take s,00o,0O0.
According to the police. the peddler
was making his usual rounds yester-
day, and visited place on Fifth
street. Here the woman who came to
the door said to the peddler, Don't
you know you ought not to come
here? The police are looking for you"
The peddler said that he didn't know
anything about 1t, but proceeded to
get in touch with No. 2 precinct al
once.
Maj. Pullman stated late last night
that while the police were continually
receiving reports and suggestions as
to possible clues, mo development OF
importance had taken place during
