U. S. ENDS GERMAN
COUNTER IMPOSTS
Treasury Acts to Even Trade
Basis After Reich Removes
Subsidies.
BIZ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The German governments promise
that it will cease subsidilng exports
to this country resulted yesterday In
cancellation Of countervailing duties
imposed by the United States a month
ago to Offset subsidies then being paid.
The countervailing duties increas-
ing tariffs on IL German products
from % to Sc per cent, had been put
into effect by the Treasury July II to
counteract direct and indirect bounties
received by German manufacturers in
the NaI governments drive to expand
its export markets.
Well-informed sources predicted
their removal would bring German
American trade to higher level than
1t has been in the last month, but
might not restore it to prior levels due
TO Germany's limited foreign exchange.
AS result of conferences between
n special German trade mission and
Treasury and State Department off,
cials, DR.. Hans Luther, the German
Ambassador, presented to Undersecre-
tary of State Phillips Thursday a note
pledging the end of the bounty system
as of August 3.
In view Of that promise the counter
vailing duties will not be collected on
the German articles, the Treasury
said, if the collector of customs is
satisfied by documentary evidence that

CHECK WEAPONS
BELIEVED USED IN
HENRY Staying
Nal. Brown Promises Thor.
ough Investigation in
F0ur.Year.0Id Case.
LIEUT.. FOWLER TO MAKE
TEST OF CACHED GUNS
Findings of Ballistics Expert Will
Be Made Public, Police
Head Says.

Thorough police investigation of all
new evidence that might develop from
discovery Of guns believed to be con-
nected with the 4-year-old "Milsie"
Henry murder case was promised to-
day by Superintendent of Police
Ernest w. Brown as scientific exami-
nation of the weapons began.
Lieut.. John Fowler, police ballistics
expert, returned from leave today and
was to examine the shotgun and two
pistols found last week in a secret
compartment of an automobile identi-
fed as the one in which Henry's
slayer rode.
Mai. Brown said his department will
trace every clue in connection with
the guns and determine, # possible,
their significance in the murder case.
If evidence is developed in favor of
Charles Harris, serving a life sentence
at the Lewisburg (Pa) Federal Peni-
tentiary for the Staying, the department
will make it public, Maj. Brown an
nounced. Contrary evidence will re-
ceive the same treatment, he said.
Inspector Bernard w. Thompson,
chief Of detectives, had stated the
Henry case was closed, in so far as the
Washington police were concerned.
with the conviction of Harris, whose
death sentence was commuted to life
imprisonment. The inspector, never
theless, has been attempting to trace
the guns from manufacturers to the
secret seat cache where they were
found
Purchase of the pistols already has
been traced to stores in Baton Rouge,
La. and st. Louis. The shotgun,
believed to be the murder weapon,
has not been traced, but police believe
1t will be.
Fowler's examination will involve
comparison of hammer markings on
discharged shells found near the
murder scene and those made by the
shotgun. Scratches made by insertion
of the shells into shotgun barrel also
will be scrutinized.
Fingerprints on the pistols are so
numerous that they will be of little
value in the investigation, police be-
lieve. The shotgun, however, had not
received much handling and may
yield something interesting in this line.

INDIANTOWN GAP, Pa, August
15-Through drenching rain, which
began at dawn, the $500 officers and
men of the 58th Maryland Infantry
Brigade today attacked and routed the
enemy" which blocked the passage
OF the Goth Division through Swatara
Gap.
The brigade launched its offensive
at $50 am. after night spent in
pup tents under skies which flashed
intermittently with lighting and con-
stantly threatened the rain which
finally arrived this morning
Under command of Brig. Gen.
Washington Bowie, jr., the raincoated
doughboys crept across the water
soaked terrain, firing as they ad-
vanced and finally, in the face Of
machine gun FIRE, captured the high
ground on which the enemy was in
trenched.
The first phase of the mimic war
fare began yesterday when the brigade
pulled out in trucks from the perma-
nent encampment here. Proceeding
along country roads, the troops en-
tered and had just passed through the
gap in the first fold of the Blue Ridge
Mountains when their advance guard
came in contact with the theoretical
enemy.
Goes Into Biv0uac.
Unable to develop the full strength
of the opposing force, and because Of
the approach of darkness, the brigade
went into Bivouac' for the night on an
1,8OO-yard 'front.' with the 1st Regi-
ment on the right and the 5th on
the left. The 1st is composed largely
of men from the Maryland counties
near washington. The 5th is Bal
timore organization.
When patrols were sent out to gain
additional information of the enemy,
the Guardsmen received their big sur
prise. They had thought the opposi-
ton entirely simulated, but found ac-
tual troops aligned in front Of them.
Without saying anything to his offi-
GERS, Gen. Bowie had taken the Sd
Battalion of the fifth Regiment from
brigade reserve and posted it on high
ground in the valley between Blue
and Second Mountains, with instruc-
tions to its commander, Maj. Frank
E. Rasmers, that his men were to be
the enemy"
Prisoners Are Taken.
Prisoners were captured by both
sides during the night. Early In the
skirmishes, the patrols of the 5sth
found that difficulty they were ex-
periencing in finding enemy patrols
in the dark was because the enemy
soldiers had blackened their faces
and dulled the shine Of their equip
ment. The 5sth's patrols Immediately
followed suit
Before dawn the camp was aroused

ROBERTSPRESSES
SUBWAY DEMAND
"lnertia' Is Charged for
Lack of Activity on
Traffic Remedy.

Renewed proposals for construction
of three subway tubes as the first link
to solve the ever-increasing transpor-
tation problems in Washington were
discussed by Peoples Counsel William
A. Roberts in an address yesterday be-
fore the Washington Round Table at
the University Club.
Roberts said plans for underground
traffic ways thus far had failed to
materialize because of inertia and in
activity of District officials and the
complicated financial mechanism un-
der which District appropriations are
devised"
Roberts set forth these points in
favor of subways:
The average number of trips made
to downtown Washington by automo-
bile or mass transportation is approx
mately 235 per day per family unit.
Cites 100000 Registrations.
District motor vehicle registration IS
more than 10000.
Shortage of approaches and through
streets and concentration of employ
ment in downtown area.
Approach of saturation in the move
ment of passenger automobiles in the
downtown streets due to parking facili-
ties and inconvenience and danger Of
travel.
Roberts predicted it was quite pos
sible for Washington to attain popu-
lation of 10000 people by 1850 by
natural growth.
For these reasons" he said. 81
have proposed and will continue to
propose the construction of an embry-
onlc subway system. / would rather
call it a bypass system because the
tubes to be built while available for
rapid transit operation, would at first
be used to carry the street cars below
the points of principal congestion and
open the surface to bus and passenger
car operation.
Route for Tubes.
"The plan briefly calls for construc-
ton of a subway beginning north Of
Dupont Circle and following the line Of
Connecticut avenue under the Circle
through Seventeenth street to E street
in the rear Of the State, War and Navy
Building. Another tube would be
started north of Thomas Circle on
Fourteenth street, running under Four
teenth to e street north Of the District
Building. An east and west tube would
be constructed in the line of e street,
one half way between the shopping
and Office centers, to point east Of the
principal congestion, but near the pro-
posed municipal and court center at
Fifth and Indiana avenue"
He estimated the cost of this system
at $4,000, 900 for four miles Of con-
struction.
President Alton G. Grinnell presided
over the round table meeting.
