} Mayor A.. W. Marcy tested the eficien-
cy Of the IRE department to respond to
an alarm Friday afternoon and felt well
pleased at the result. First having as
certained that the distance from fire
headcuarterss to new box-No. S2-on
Woodstocks avenue was one and quar-
ter miles from the central station, the
mayor went to tho box and pulled the
alarm Taxing out his watch, the mayor
awaited results, and in four and one-half
minutes the No. truck was at the box,
foiiowedsin half minute by truck No, 2.
The mayor Thought that this was re-
narkabieb performance, especially In view
Of the fact sthat there was a drizzling
rain and tho roadway was slippery
which necessitated slowing down at ali
corners. : Before the alarm had stopped
ringing on the second round the fire
trucks had left headquarters. Box 80 Is
one Of the new boxes recently installed

mind that this point was used in making

telling of the German governments will
tngness to seek foreign credits required
to meet the January reparations payment
to the allies, has been received by the
public as confirming the popular belief
that the government possesses no illu-
sions as regards its ability to secure
period of grace in .,hich to meet its obi
cations The commission left yesterday
for Paris without answering the COM
munication.
The belief has prevailed in Berlin Off
cial circles that it WIS the primary OBJ
ject of the commission to obtain at first
hand an idea upon which to base its atti-
tude for an adjustment of Germany's
PREPARATIONS payments subsequent to the
falling due of the January and February
installnents.
The deliberations Of the commission in
Berlin were wholly informalt even when
consulting government officials.
Although efforts were made to impress
the members of the commission with the
internal and external effects of a forced
entry by Germany into the foreign money
markets, it is asserted that the commits
sioners have declined to suggest other
measures of relief. Chancellor Wirth' s
negotiations with the German Industrial
lists league have not yet been decisively
concluded. The latest reports are that
the industrialists viii come forward with
the credits at their command without in
sitting on the Standardization Of the
railways.
The Tages Zeitung says the chancel-
lor's optimism has resulted in the COM
plete collapse of the national finances
without the slightest prospect that the
entente will give Germany's economic
misery due consideration.
