LONDON, Jan. 27.-Germany's first
direct diplomatic correspondence with
England in five years is an earnest avow-
al of a new square deal policy.
Chancellor Bauer seized the first op-
portunity personally to emphasize to the
British representative in Berlin, Lord
Kilmarnock, that Germany has no inten-
ton of establishing her pre-war for
eign political activity, it was stated to-
day In authoritative circles.
Herr Bauer was said to have informed
Lord Kilmarnock that Germany expects
to fulfill all the terms of the treaty of
Versailles"
Official dispatches from Berlin quote
the chancellor as saying that the effect
upon Germany Of the ratification of the
treaty was generally good, but he ex-
planned that unless the Germans could
get supplies, including raw materials,
food and clothing. the establishment Of a
stable regime with a contented people
would be seriously retarded. The chan
cellor gave official assurances to Great
Britain not to feel any anxiety over Ger

MIDDLE MANS
PROFITS PILING
UP, u. S. SAYS
Attorney Generals Figures
Show Prices Paid Pro-
ducers Decrease.
COMPARISONS ARE GIVEN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Middle men
have accumulated vast profits during the
five months of the governments cam
paign to reduce prices of necessities,
investigation of two government depart
ments indicated today.
Since the middle of August, when At
torney General Palmer announced he was
going after the price gougers," reports
show that:
Prices paid farmers for principal crops
decreased from 81 to 81 per cent each
month, according to the agriculture de-
partment.
Prices paid by consumers increased
continuously until they reached the
highest point In history in December.
according to the labor department.
BUY CHEAPER,
SELL HIGHER.
These reports seem to indicate that
middlemen are buying cheaper than ever
before, but receiving the highest prices
In history.
According to the agricultural depart
ment, the level of prices paid producers
of the principal crops at the farm de-
creased like this:
Three and four-tenth per cent in
August, 81 per cent in September, 81
per cent IN OCTOBER ana II per cent III
November. Part Of this is due to a
seasonal falling off in demand, agricul-
ture department officials say. But, over
a ten-year period, the average de-
creases due to seasonal demand were
only IL per cent in August, per cent
in September, SO per cent in October and
3.6 per cent in November.
MEAT ON HOOP
ALSO DECREASES
Prices paid farmers for meat-producing
animals also have decreased in the last
FIVE months in greater proportion than
the average seasonal decreases for the
ten-year period In the month ending
August. 1919, prices decreased g per
cent, as compared with customary in
crease of Is per cent, and In November
average; in September, 1919, 1873 per cent.
as compared with a customary increase of
20 per cent; in October, 81 per cent in
crease, as compared with a seasonal de-
crease of 1. Sper cent, and in November,
20 per cent decrease, compared with 3.S
per cent decrease for the ten-year av-
erage.

The full strength of the governments
diplomatic forces have been placed at
Mr.. Bryan's disposal to prosecute the
canvas, which will not be complete for
many months.
High plenipotentiaries and consul gen.
erals have been instructed to make min
ute studies of prohibition and temper
ance conditions along many lines. These
reports are to be assembled and for
warded to Washington with all possible
expedition.
Already diplomats are beginning to
make their returns under the dry" sur
vey. The earliest reports have come
from South American capitals. These
are lengthy and elaborate reviews of
wet conditions in some Of fthe gsy
capitals to the south.
Mr.. Bryan in conference with leading
"dry" leaders here at recent jollih-
cation over the national amendment be-
coming effective, initiated plans to throw
the bulk of the dry campaign fund
into South America, and to follow this
by a spirited drive in other parts of the
world. Early returns of dry" tables
from South America, officials believed,
may explain in some measure the reasons
advanced for an early campaign in thai
