 The cablegram adds that Mir. Sim clair having appeared before the in- vestigating committee five different times and been discharged, felt justi- fled in remaining in Europe until his business negotiations were completed.
 "On five different occasions" says the message, T have appeared before your committee. I have given you every fact or circumstance of A fact you have inquired about from me and was thereupon discharged by you from further testimony. It was not until you told mo that I was dis charged from further testimony that I came 10 Europe.

.BRESLAU WITHOUT
 ANY STREET CARS
Suspension Of Service Another
 Calamity of Declining Mark

i Washington. D. c. Jan. %. - "A street car strike of few days dura- ton is enought to upset an American city of half a million population: the suspension of trolley operation in Breslau. Germany, is another calamity of the declining mark" says q bulle- tin from the Washington. D. c. head quarters of the National Geographic society.
 "Breslau, in size and industry, is a Pittsburgh of Prussia plus some of the former functions of Milwaukee,
 Its prosperous growth before the war was nourished by every element that goes to building great indus trial center. Ii lay in fertile plain, on a navigahle river, the Oder, which afforded a deep waterway to the Elbe and the Vistula, it's railways ramified to Berlin, Vienna, and other import ant cities, and it was the nearest trade depot to the Russian and Aus trian borders.
 Hub of Industrial Wheel
 While the Russian army still was in the field Breslau was a major ob- jective, for it was, and still is, the capital of Siesia. as important indus trially as the Ruhr Basin. It was a distributing. point for the worlds richest zinc deposits, near Beuthen; for the great mining and smelting districts, Zabraze and konigshutte: for tho glassware of Gleiwitz and the water-power textile works of central and southern silesia.
 Factories and train yards have not eradicated traces of Breslau's his- toric career from the time. in the 18th century, when 1t was a strong hold of the Hanseatie league. Its old Notifications were converted into beautiful walks and it's meats now are attractive ponds.
 \ Popular Cellar
 "The noncommercial visitor find his chief interest in It's churches and it's beer. The customary place to sam pie the latter is in the Schweidnitzer Keller, located In the Town hall, and the cellars swinging doors haven ot been closed since 1855.
 The Town hall is fine Gothic bhhhilibt NphSpilhohs pH LhT iiis n market square, wherein also is the historic Furstensaal, where the Sile- sian diet formerly met.
 "one Of the noteworthy churches, St. Elizabeth's. has the highest stee- pie in Prussia, rising some 300 feet, the largest bell in silcsia, and one of Germany's most famous pipe-organs. The Sandkirche, dedicated to Our Lady of the Sands formerly was the church of the Augustlnian Canons, more popularly known as the Black Canons, because of their hoods. The Roman Catholic cathedral, dating to the twelfth century, is treasure house of painting and sculpture. Among It's art works is the Madonna of the Pines. attributed to the elder Cranach.
