turns"

GERMANY ASKS RETURN
OF EMBASSY PROPERTY
Ambassador Wiedfeldt Seeks Pos
session of Ground on
S Street.

Dr. Otto Wiedfeldt. German ambas-
sador here, has taken steps to regain
actual possession of the property on
the north side OF 9 street west OF
22d street. acquired by the German
government before the world war and
taken over by the alien property Gus
todian when the United States enter
ed the war against Germany. The
property was purchased as a site for
a large embassy building. but the
project was abandoned when the war
broke out.
Although the German ambassador
desires to gain possession Of the prop
erty, IT is believed that the low stage
OF the German excheQuer practically
precIudes the appropriation Of any
money for building purposes in the
near future. Some months after the
United States took over the property
in 1917 several garages were built
thereon by Policeman Jerry Sullivan
of the tenth precinct and rented.
All the occupants OF these garages
have been requested by Ambassador
property they may have on the prem
ises at 2201 S street by January 2
next. as it is then intended to tear
down the garage structures and fence
in the premises.
In the notification II was stated that
the garages were erected without
permission of the German government
and are being occupied without ITS

Ancient History

Theophilus P. Dickens embezzled
fourteen chickens from Absalom G..
Crow; twas when we lived together
at Punktown- in tn Heather, a long,
long time ago. And now where
we're abiding this Dickens gent is
riding upon the crest of fame. and
I'm the only fellow who knows his
record yellow, who knows his hen
roost game. Now he is walking
straightly, and men admire him
greatly. he's honored in the town :;
for honesty unbending. for virtues
never ending he has wide renown.
Yet l am fixed to shatter his pres
tige at one clatter. by telling of
those fowls; the plaudits and the
praises that now arise like blazes
would change to ribald howls. I'm
but human duffer, and oftentimes
I suffer to tell that ancient tale !;
that yarn of Brother Dickens kid
naping fourteen chickens would
make the town grow pale. But when
I'm primed to tell it always stern
ly quell it. my conscience is on
deck; my conscience says severely.
Your duty looms up clearly. so
follow it, by heck! His soul is foul
and bitter who would degrade the
critter who's outgrown evil things,
all past mistakes surviving. now dill
gently striving to earn pair of
wings!" So don't tell the story
hat might disturb the glory Theo-
hilus has won; the stately name
of Dickens is free from faint of
chickens, it glitters in the sun.
