BUSINESS OVER SCARE RESERVE
 BOARDS VIEW

Washington. April 1S-Business is over the price decline scare" and is beginning to see it's way out of the financial woods. This was the latest view of the Federal Reserve Board today. The view point oL the board decidedly more optimistic over do- mestic and foreign trade outlook, was based upon a comprehensive review of the industrial and commercial situation just made by governors of Federal reserve banks throushout the United States.
 Taere was no note of alarm but on the contrary one of pronounced confidence respecting trade prospects. Very thorough studies made of the financial handicaps now being borne by industry, it was said, clearly show --at business has experienced the worst phase of the readjustment pro- cess.
 The board is informed it was said that large business in terests of the country takes more problem and predict that idleness will soon begin to decrease with the re- sumption of operations in plants and factories upon bigger scale.
 Business is not so much concerned now with effecting wage reductions, the board was advised, as in obtain ing g. larger unit of service from la bor.
 Largest industrial enterprises in re- banks, declared that labor efficiency was increased. It was the view generally of business leaders it was said that if 1abor's unit of efficiency is brought to maximum in all fields,

WILHELM BIDS WIFE
 FAREWELL

Maarn, Holland, April tS-The spe- cial train carrying the body of Augus- ta Victoria, the former German Elm press, left this little railway station at 7:3o o'clock this morning after the ex-Kaiser had bidden his last farewell to the woman who had shared hls joys and sorrows for forty years. The train sped Coward Petsdan1, where the burial will take place tomorrow III the famous Imperial Mausoleum-
 Wilhelm Hohenzo1lern, accompan- jed bv the ex-Crown Prince, and a number of officers, all in silver heI. mes,s so reminiscent of the days or the magnfficence of Kaisersn times returned to Doorn after seeing the train disappear in the distance. The Kaiserin's coffin rested on scarlet cIdh on which the imperial crown was embroidered. The blinds of all windows were drawn.
 The departure scene here was close gv guarded by a strong force of Dutch noIice. Not even newspapermen were allowed on the train.

SELL
 CLEANEST AND CHEAPEST FOOD

The Connecticut Bureau of Labor says that dry goods stores and China men run the restaurants in which the cleaneSt and cheapest food is sold. The report is mercileSS in it's flagel- lation of eating houses run by others. The report says:
 Whatever objection can be raised against the Chinese as laundrymen, it does not hold good against them as caterers. With the exception of a few restaurants where the prices are high and the service indifferent, the Chinese eating houses offer more for the money and accompany the offer by more assured cleanliness than do the greater part of the places run by other nationalitieS ranging from American to Greek. The Chinese furnish table cloths and napkins, a fairly varied reasonable menu and an actual visible cleanliness in the cook ing and the places where the food is kept Their service is better. They give just as good a meal with service as do the others without service and sans clean cloths on the table. If they can do this, so can their competi- tors.
 The one guarantee which the pub lie has a right to demand is cleanli- ness It is the duty of the boards of health in the different cities to see that this is the rule rather than the exception The place which caters to the day laborer should be as clean in it's arrangements for furnishing him his meal as the fashionable gath ering haunt of the epicure.

STILL HOPE FOR
 SETTLEMENT

London, April IS - Governmental authorities were anxious today to re- open negotiations between the miners and the owners of collieries with the hope of bringing about a perman erit settlement of the wage question. There seemed little probability, how ever, that members of the miners federation would take any steps to meet government officials or mine owners before next Friday.
 In the meantime Great Britain is facing a serious coal shortage and every effort is being made to eke out present stocks until some adjustment of the situation can be made. Be- ginning today train services were cur tailed and steps taken to bring to the people realization that the coal shortage was really serious.
 A meeting of the parliamentary la Dor committee and the trades union congress will be held on Wednesday and it is believed that at this gather ing some program may be formulated for presentation at next Fridays conference of miners.

CIRCUS LOSES
 JOHN DANIEL

Bnd geport's strangest resident will never see the home town, for John Daniels is dead. John died Satur- day from pneumonia, which overlook him in New York Many were griev- ed. but none surprised, for none of his kind have ever lived long in this climate, although many have come to these 'sh ores, andgnuInerouS experts have tried various methods and treat ments to keep them alive.
 John Daniels was the only gorilla in captivity, and was recently brought from abroad with a passport, a valet, and all that sort of thing. He was featured by the Ringling-Barnun show and has probably received as much publicity in New York as all the rest of the show combined. But he has passed out, and so two of the habits of animal life are not yet solv- ed. GorilIas cannot be kept alive in this country, and neither will ele- plants raise families.

 DEFAULT

London, April 1S-(By Int A. P.)-The German govern ment, said Prime Minister Lloyd George in the House ot Commons today, is still in de- fault with regard to separations the trial of persons accused of offenses against the laws of war, and disarmament.
 The Germans, continued the Prime Minister, have not thus far shown any Inclination to advance practical pro- posals for carrying out the treaty of Versailles in these respects. There fore it was imperative for the Allies to confer with regard to the further steps which might be necessary to en- force compliance with the treaty.

Lloyd Georges statement was in answer to a question by Com nlander Kenworthy as to whether the Prime Ministers attention had been called to the pronouncement of Premier Briand of France that France, as the questioner construed 1t, intended to use force against Ger many after May 1, and whether Brit Ssh troops would be involved in a new demonstration.
