GERMANY DOES NOT. SEE MUCH GOOD IN.
 SOVIET AGREEMENT.
Soviet Government Still h. siSts Upon MonopoIizing All Import and Export
 Business
By Associated Press

Cologne, Germany, June 25.-Ger- man business interests and the Ger man press are extremely skeptical about the value of the preliminary trade agreement entered into with the Russian soviet republic by the German government, and frankly de- clare there is littde reason to hope for immediate trade with Russia on any considerable scale.
 The fact that the soviet republic still insists upon monopolizing all import and export business and had the preliminary trade agreement written with that object in view confuses German business men, who profess to be unable to comprehend the document.
 While the soviet republic takes to itself the rights and functions of a business corporation, it also holds principle that a government cannot be used, but endeavors to reassure business men who desire to do bust ness with it by including in the pre- liminary agreement a stipulation that dealings between the Russian govern ment and German firms and indi- viduals in Russia are to be controlled by an arbitration court.
 In discussing the agreement the Cologne Gazette says:
 This is the first step toward re- adjustment of business relations, the final step being still far In the fu- ture. Nevertheless, it is step for ward and others must necessarily follow. The new agreement means that the two business delegations in Moscow and Berlin-must be es- sentially enlarged and clothed with more authority An urgent warning should be issued against false hopes of great commercial advantage.
 The German business men who put their faith in this agreement can have no guarantee of personal or property security, for the interpre- tation can be so distorted by the mental gymnasts of the red republic as to divert wholly it's purpose. There is insufficient security of- fered for GeHman life and property, which will in every instance be at the mercy of bolshevik commissars'

First Comfort
 in 15 Years

A lady who was wearing her first pair of Cantilever Shoes and wished to know where one of her friends in another city could buy them, wrote to the manufacturers;
 'sI am having such comfort as I have not had in fifteen years in new shoes"
 Cantilever Shoes are comfort able when new because they are shaped to the natural shape of the foot. Most shoes are unnaturally shaped, and the period of break ing in" is a trying one because the shoe and foot are having conflict as to which shape shall prevail Usually it ends in a compromise, with the foot giving in to the shoe. Or perhaps the pair of shoes is put away in dark portion of the closet and never worn again. K How much better to buy shoes that you can wear, from the first day to the last, in comfort, enjoy ment and peace of mind. How wasteful to have a closetful of shoes that you can't bear to put on again!
 If you are interested in true economy, try the Cantilever Shoe. It wears well and looks well. And it's correct features such as toe room, flexible shank, good heels rightly placed, may save you from foot troubles which are costly as they are painful. By wearing Cantilever Shoes, you can forget your feet, you can walk further with less fatigue, you can stand longer without impatience, you can look we'll and feel we'll, you can be happy.

BY Two WOMAN VICTIMS

Declare Clarence Alleman Is Man Who
Slugged and Robbed Them.

identified the ring that was taken by
her assailant, which police say was
found in Alleman's, clothes when he
was searched.
File Robbery Charge
At the end of q day spent solely in
investigating the charge against Alle-
man, County Attorney Howard Bennett
announced Monday afternoon that he
would file a charge of highway robbery
against the man, believing that
severer penalty can be secured under
this information than under one charg-
ing criminal assault. Mr. Bennett de-
clared he secured enough admissions
from Alleman to assure his conviction,
The prisoner, it was asserted, admitted
that he was in the neighborhood of the
spot where Mrs. Graves was robbed
and beaten Saturday night.
To determine his mental condition.
Mr.. Bennet had DR.. C. ]. Bresee give
Alleman thorough examination, which
established to the satisfaction of
authorities that the man is Of sound
mind.
County Attorney Bennet will continue
his investigation for several days, in
terviewing three witnesses who could
not be secured Monday. The highway
robbery charge against Alleman viii
probably be filed Friday, he said, and
he added that the trial would be held
during the present term of the district
court.
Threatened in Canada
Al1eman told Mr.. Bennett that he had
been illegally deported from Canada.
He said he owned property in Edmon-
ton, Canada, and had been compelled
to desert it because of threats of sew
eral neighbors. County Attorney Ben
net said he had secured information to
the effect that Alleman had been con-
victed Of a petit larceny charge in the
dominion and also that he had been
taken into custody in Teton county,
where he had been recently. Alleman
told Mr.. Bennet that he was formerly
married and had been divorced.
The prisoner, according to investiga-
tions made by the police and the coun-
ty attorneys office, has been sleeping
In a paint shop on Fourth avenue south
and Fifth street. This information to-
gether with the Identification of Ale
man by two of his victims, is consid-
cred as certain proof by authorities
that the prisoner is responsible for the
series of robberies that have occurred
during the past 10 days, In each case
the victim being woman. With the
exception of the last holdup, all Of
the women have been robbed on streets
and avenues In close vicinity to the
paint shop where Alleman made his
bed.
