The German people trust that the signing Of the
pact outlawing war will not merely remain a drawing
hope but will lead to further practical efforts In de-
yeloping methods Of peaceful settlement Of interna-
tional differences. The German foreign policy has not
changed its line; il stands for peace and justice. Every
initiative in this direction will find Germany's sup
port. The result Of the last meeting in Geneva opens
a hopeful outlook.
As for the relations between Germany and the
United States, I noticed everywhere in Germany that
the political. economic and personal contact which has
developed between the two countries, has led to a
growing mutual understanding.
| found the political conditions in Germany very
satisfactory. The unrest Of the immediate postwar
period has completely disappeared and a period Of po-
litical sterilization has begun. Economically the prob
lens 10 face remain the same: the necessity of increas-
ing our export and the need Of capital to keep the
economic machinery going. The general economic sit
uation is favorably influenced by this years harvest
which is quantitatively and qualitatively better than
last years. On the other hand, the conditions of bus
mess have been somewhat less favorable within the
last weeks. The number OF unemployed is increasing;
against $4,000 unemployed at the beginning Of the
month Of August the number OF unemployed reached
600. 600 in the month Of September.
The trade between Germany and the United States
in the first six months Of 1928 has considerably in
creased. The imports from the United States in this
period, which amounted to 9Ss.OOOOoo marks last year.
reached 1.O4s.ooo,ooo marks this year.

Fails to Relieve
Henry of Charge

Henry A. Evans, 81, colored, was
in city court this morning. Henry
came in answer to final summons
and warrant to face a charge of
failing to have enough lighting
equipment on his automobile.
Questioned as to why he. had not
appeared on the day cited Henry
showed the court that the ticket
called for his appearance on Sun
day.
"'Well did you come here on Sun,
day?' the Judge asked.
"You Honor, l just passed by, >
said Henry.
Evans then went on to assure the
court that he was little short on
change at the time his bulbs went
haywire and as result was plotting
his ear minus some of its glimmers.
Henry was also put hard to it to
serape up the 81 assessment imposed
by the court. He started off well
with a silver dollar, next he man
aged to find quarter but from
then on the going was rougher. Four
dimes finally appeared from Henry $
several pockets and six nickles came
to light. 1t looked for a minute as
though Henry would run ont of
pockets but he finally unearthed
five pennies and with smile bowed
his way out of the courtroom.
