questions in the minds Of citizens
suspicious OF the governments in

When asked today concerning the

1t was his understanding that the

prohibited, by law. from having

WAR GUILT is

BERLIN. Aug. 20 Omitted Press).
Germany may appeal many OF the
issues contained in the German
American peace treaty TO interna-
tional arbitration.
The treaty. 1t was learned. does
not contain a declaration OF Ger
many's guilt in starting the war
Germany would have fatty refused
to sign had such an admission been
included
In many quarters the feeling pre-
vailed that the difficulties of the pre-
liminary negotiations between Doc
tor Rosen. foreign minister. and Ell
lis Loring Dresel. American COM
missioner. had been smoothed out.
But one of the leading authorities
who has been thoroughly initiated
into developments informed the
United Press that the following diff
ficulties stand in the way:
1. Germany asserts that Amer
lea is asking too much.
2. The treaty is alleged 70 be so
loosely woven that the United States
could later impose what Germany
calls impossible burdens.
3. Germany claims the treaty Is
too bureaucratic in style. and not
sufficiently comprehensive
4. It is urged that the treaty pro-
vides for nothing more than a pre-
liminary peace.
That is the substance OF the Ger
many wall.
Another authority Informed the
United Press that Germany will at
tempt to refer the question OF the
Lusitania and other sinking indem-
mites as well as many other con-
troversial questions, to international
arbitration
Persons in Chancellor Wirtn' s
confidence have already said the
American demands are considered
too high but this authority says the
real difficulty is the German feeling
that America Is not making sufhci-
emily specific demands but It leaving

was in Wilmington this week. it was
learned today looking over the in
dustrial situation.
Mr.. lizard, II further was learned,
intends returning to Wilmington
next week and make a survey Of in
dustrial plants which employ more
than 100 men each. 10 Is the aim
of the Department Of Labor 10 take
a census each month OF the en-
ployment situation throughout the
entire country, with a view TO show
ing how the industrial depression is
being met and the increases and
decreases in payrolls.
That a turn in general business
and employment has come, and the
situation now is one to be faced with
optimism is the general belief ex-
pressed by officials of Chambers Of
Commerce along the whole Eastern
seaboard. in at least 100 cities rang
ing from Maine TO Virginia. Of busi-
ness conditions and unemployment
submitted to them by the Philadel-
UAAld AlAdIADtI VI NAAAkh
will publish the answers in its News
Bulletin Of September 1.
These replies, recording the normal
and present condition OF employ
ment. and the general situation in
the different lines Of industry. have
been received over a period Of six
weeks. In virtually every case op-
timism was expressed, and the state
ment was made that at the time OF
the filing of the QUESTIONABLE, indus
try and employment were taking a
slight upward trend.
Since that time an improvement
in a number Of lines has lessened the
unemployment figures shown in the
questionable summary, and inn
proved the general conditions fur
ther.
The total number Of men nor
mally engaged in industries in the
various centres mentioned in the
compilation Of the News Bulletin
was 1.2s6.456. and the number en-
ployed totals S21.519. leaving but
474,937 idle. This total represents
virtually the peak of unemployment
with the decrease setting in since the
figures were officially compiled.
The records can be taken as an ac'
curate estimate. for in each instanc'
they we're compiled for the Philadel'
phia Chamber of Commerce by thu
proper Chamber of Commerce Off
cial in each city in close touch with
the situation. Some few cities arr
missing, but in these il was difncul
to get an accurate figure, owing t'
the variei Ines OF industry. and
rather than compile a record con
tanning inaccuracies, they wer'
omitted.
Outside Of Philadelphia there Il
apparently a rather healthy tone Z
the textile business in all its ramifi
cations. though the steel business Il
off color. Most of these businesses
which appear. of the line in the com
pilation have shown signs Of re
vival since, enough to warrant th'
optimistic attitude OF all contribut
ing to the symposium.
The poll does not embrace sucl
large cities as New York. Boston

and Baltimore. but is confined L
