Berlin.-The premiers of the several
federated states of the German nation
were in session with the Berlin cab
met over the reparations question, the
meeting being followed with the an.
nouncement that complete unanimity
prevailed among all the participants
in the conference.
The invitation extended by the en-
tente for Germany to send representa-.
tiyes on March to the London con
ference on PREPARATIONS is construed
here as indicating that the allies ex-
pect Germany to submit counter pro-
pOsals and that the negotiations at
Brussels by the experts on financial
and economic affairs are therefore
superfluous for the time being.
Leaders of German industry, ship
ping and finance have been arriving
in Berlin for consultations with the
governments staff of economic ex-
perts.
Much Of the press comment in re-
gard to the situation warns the
government against pinning its faith
on the possibility that the attitude Of
the new Washington government will
supply Germany with moral backing.
These commentators urge the govern
ment to present Germany's case strict
" on its own merits.
Commenting on the conference of
the premiers with the cabinet, ths
Tageblatt says the participants left
It with confidence that their interests
would be safeguarded at the London
meeting Of the allies. The Lokal. An
xeiger, dealing with the disarmament
question, says Bavaria will submit to
the disarmament requirements, but
the various newspaper commentators
agree that reservations were made as
to disarmament in East Prussia
General Won Seecht, the chief of staff,
Is quoted as declaring that the Polish
demobolization is only a pretense and
that the PGes would be able in one
days march to penetrate the frontiers.

BANKER WARNS BUYERS
AGAINST IDLE WAITING

New York.-Confidenc that busI-

Of Stock Exchange Firms.
James s. Alexander, president Of
the National Bank Of Commerce in
New York, cautioned against idle watt

buying. urging business men to stimu.
late purchasing by reduced prices
based on keener efficiency in prOduc-
ton and the acceptance Of reason
able margins of profits"
ain this connection" he added, ''the
growing tendency of labor to become
more efficient and Its willingness TO
accept some liquidation of inflated
wages are encouraging. The readjust-
ment is favorable to the individual
worker.
Competition for work means stimu-
latiOn of efficiency and staunch indi-
vidualism as opposed to radicalism.
ployers TO choose workmen intelligent
ly and coordinate wages to their prop
er part in production costs, facilitate
ing the establishment of price levels
best for all.
But employers must plaiy fair. and
not attempt to lower wages unduly
or to enforce greater curtailment than
circumstances warrant They must
recognize that in any country worth
living in the standard Of living tends
ever upward"

three other deaths, it is suspected,
may be laid up against him.
But the most atrocious crime
charged against Schultz Is the muir
der Of Joseph Ball, his wife and eight
een-year-old son, Jacob, in December,
1915. The charge has been made by
the mans own son, Julius Schultz,
who fled from home after the crime
and enlisted in the navy in hopes Of
forgetting the shocking scene he Wit
messed on a cold December night.
Murder Of Ball Family.
Joseph Ball was Hungarian who
had Anglicized his name. He lived
In little shack In q valley back Of
the Schultz home. On December IL,
1915, Julius says his father aroused
him from sleep and ordered him to
dress and accompany him. When they
were ready to leave the house the
father handed him gun and carried
one himself. Outside the door Schultz
picked up a can Of kerosene and q
bag Of shavings. Arrived close by the
Ball shack the father ordered julius
to take up a position Is feet from the
door and shoot anyone who might
leave the building. Then with the
kerosene can and the shavjngs the
old man started fires at each end Of
the shack and when the terrified in
mates rushed out shot them down.
One by one he carried the bodies with

other and smiled as he watched them
burn.
There had been bad blood between
Schultz and Joseph Ball.
Three other deaths are now being
investigated. one Of them at least :
plain murder.
