 Germans Hear News First.
 A representative of the Stinnes press in Germany was one of the first foreign newspapermen to learn that the allies had avoided a break on the question of military control in Germany. This enterprising reporter had already caused a rupture. be- tween the French and he foreign press by slipping into Premier Poin- cares ante-room one evening last week while the French, American, British and Italian correspondents were lying in wait for the premier in the hope of getting definite news regarding the proceedings of the ann bassadors council. The German re- porter's expulsion from the foreign office was followed by the exclusion of foreign press representatives from the lobbies of the building.
 The American and British news papermen who waited in the rain for the end of the council meeting last Monday were the first to get the news. An American correspondent rushed to the public telephone in the Inyalides station nearby, tele- phoned the word that Franco British rupture had been avoided. A young man of Teutonic aspect who stood beside the booth remarked as the reporter came out: 50 they have avoided a break
 The astonished correspondent noted that the young man. who had over heard his message on the telephone, had in his hand a copy of the Deutsche Allgemeine Seitung, Herr Shines paper.
 Thus the German fndustrialist was far ahead of the French press in getting the word that the entente had been saved, at least for the moment.
