A feeling of Insecurity la not conducive to continuous maximum effort. Kven a atahle government tn Germany would not alone suffice, for a new French Ministry would be almost a upsetting a another change here. British Policy I nlikcly li Chance. It la aasumed the course of the Gov-eminent of Great Britain will remain a now, hut even if It should not, there would probably be but little divergence In policy there. In order to keep a Ministry In power here and to hava it effective, it is necessary for It to show result which may hearten the Fteirhstag nnd keep it in power.

In thia France and Great Britain can help and probably will help hen convinced that the German Government la making an Intelligent and sincere effort to meet its International obligations. It would be a widespread misfortune to call another general election In Germany soon. The result would almost certainly be a stronger Left, a very much stronger Right and a weak-ruing of the Middl parties. With either of the extreme Itight or Left in control there would he a decided change of policy and one which niiuht cause something akin to civil war. Berlin is as clean and orderly as formerly, but there are few, if any, expensive motors to he seen.

The head of the largest bank here has none of any kind, and this is merely a typical, not an isolated case. His residence, a Very large and expensive one. is now shared with four other families, each having a separate kitchen and menage. This, too, is the rule, not an exception. Hard to Tax I'rolilccrs.

Theaters, cinemas and restaurants are fairly well tilled hut not with fashionable people. These latter have almost entirely disappeared und are on their country estates, where living conditions are cheaper. The profiteer is here as elsewhere and spending money freely. The Government finds It difficult to impose taxes on this class, for their wealth Is elusive and largely out of reach. They nre even more unpopular here than in other countries and arc the cause of much dissatisfaction.

There is no evidence or display of jewelry in Berlin at all, comparable with New York, Paris and London, and hardly more than one finds in cities of the third class In the United States, France or Great Britain. On the surface one sees no evidence of feeling against America. Our interests in Germany have been admirably cared for by the American commissioner, Ellis Loring Dressel, and Gen. Henry T. Allen.

It would be hard to exaggerate the influence these two men have had. By their good work under difficult conditions they have compelled the respect of Germans in all walks of life. Foreigners see us and know us as our representatives appeal to them and we are fortunate in having two such men during these critical times. 5 HELD IN $100,000 BAIL AS KIDNAPPERS OF MURDERED BOY The five men arrested charged with kidnapping of Gluseppl Verotta, 5 were held by Judge John F. Mclntyre in Manhattan today in $100,000 ball each on indictments charging them with the kidnapping.

Assistant District Attorney Fred erick J. Sullivan argued strenuously against any bail being fixed. He asserted that the indictment of all five for murder in the first degree would be asked and declared this was the first case that had ever come to the attention of authorities here, where a band of blackmailers had carried out their threat to kill. He said the District Attorney had ample evidence to secure the indictments. The defendants were sent back to the Tombs after pleading not guilty, through Joseph S.

Rosalsky, who asserted there was no evidence of importance against the defendants. HOUSE WILL ADOPT PORTER RESOLUTION FOR PEACE TODAY Washington, June 13--Dcbate on the Porter peace resolution 1 terminating the slate of war with Germany and Austria was resumed in the House today under a rule calling for a final vote at 4:30 o'clock. More than BO members had been assigned speaking time but "adoption fthe measure as a substitute for the of the measure as a substitute for the decla'alion of war was generally expected. Hi publicans claimed solid party support for tt and many Democratic votes. Adoption of the porter substitute will mean a conference with both Senate and House leaders declaring determination to stand by their own peace plan.

A number of the Brooklyn analition-isls favor former Civil Service Commissioner Darwin H.

James, head of the American Chicle Comipany, the chewing gum corporation. James's weakness is that he is not widely known outside of his home boro, and with the certainty that William M.

The mayoralty boom for the latter, however, is reported to have received little encouragement from the Kings County prosecutor whose real ambition is to secure a Supreme Court nomination, his friends say.

In the meantime the restless old night watchman, oppressed by the silence and the absence of his wife, arose from the cot upon wnicn ne had thrown himself and went into the yard. He saw the electric light burning In the office. Then he made a closer inspection.

A window of the side room In which his dead wife lay opens on the yard and Is protected by wire screening. A stick held the window sash fast. The wire screening had been torn loose so that the tacks which held it were out and a hole cut In the window through which a hand could have been reached to release the stick. Trembling, the old man climbed In the window and there found his wife's body. She lay on her back, her sight less eyes turned ceillngward.

Some old garments had been thrown over the body. There were three wounds on the head and another above the eve. Dr. Schaefer of St. Mary's Hospital said later that the skull had been fractured.

jr Safe Tampered With. Krier and the policeman found" the old man there wringing his hands and crying, "What will I do without her!" In the next room was the old woman's hat and the bnsket of fish on the floor. The knobhandle of the old-fashioned safe had been battered off by blows from a pipe-wrench which had been taken from the drawer of an old type desk built into the wall in the main office. The pipe wrench, which lay on the floor, had evidently been used then in the effort to break the lock, but the safe had a combination and it was impossible to open it In that way. This convinced the police that the man who wielded the wrench either knew nothing about safes or that the attack on the safe was camouflage.

There was never more, than $50 in the safe. Tho old woman had been attacked In the main office and tho body dragged Itno tho other room. Apparently some attempt had been made to mop up the blood. Why It was done Is a question which Is taxing the Ingenuity of the best detective In tho service to find on nnswer for, Today they started to check up on everybody who has been employed nt Ihe. yard for the past ten years.

HESTER'S WILL FILED FOR PROBATE Son Chief Beneficiary Under Terms of Document. The will of Col.

Hester of Glen Cove, his son, receives two-thirds of his father's holdings of the capital stock of The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, and Mrs. Carrie H. Ide, his daughter, one-third. The will was made Dec. 4, 1919, and a codicil added on Sept.

June 13 Messages from various mining centers today reported anipparcntly growing feeling among the men In favor of accepting the latest offer of the coal mine owners for a si'ttlemeift of the strike, now ir. lis third month.

Meetings to explain details of the offer will be held it: many of the districts before the ballot of the miners on Wednesday. A few of the miners' leaders remain irreconcilable, but Herbert acting president of the miners' union, bus declared that, a two-third majority against the owners' proposals would be considered necessary for continuance of the strike. Negotiations between the masters and the men in Hie cotton industry have been adjourned until Tuesday, and meanwhile half a million idle operatives have been enabled to discuss the position in their respective districts. Something under a shilling in the pound now divides the two parties to the wage dispute. The workers have offered to submit this to Independent arbitration, hut the employers have so far declined to accept this proposition.

John Hill Morgan, a member of the hoard who la on the book committee, said he felt sure that a mistake had been made. "That Is the only reason I can give for the book's restriction." he said. Darwin It. James, another member, read it recently. "Should It, in your opinion, be suppressed?" he was asked.

"oh, my. no!" he replied. "I wasn't strongly impressed with It, but certainly there was nothing objectionable there." Other member expressed astonishment at the story in The Eagle yesterday telling of the book' "restriction." In tho public library argot, "restriction" means that the book is not precisely barred, but only one ropy 1 kept by the library and it is nut given out on application until the applicant haa undergor an Inspection to determine the probable moral effect the book will have on him. There ia no restriction on Its circulation In the Manhattan and Bronx public libraries. Mr.

Dell is now in Iowa, absolutely unconscious of the ban under which Dr. Hill has placed hi book. At the office of Alfred A. Knopf, hi publisher, it wag said that he would not be informed, a there is no desire to ruin his vacation. In December last Mr.

WEST POINT ALUMNI HONORS COL, DYKMAN 0 Brooklynita Re-Elected President of Graduate's Body. Col. William X. Pykman was re elected president of the Association of Graduates of West Point at a meeting of the alumni of the Military Academy on Saturday, at West Point.

The elec tion starts Col. Dykman on his second year as president of the alumni, he having been accorded the honor a year ago. Col. Dykman urged Gen. Pershing to accept the presidency this year, but the general declined emphatically.

He statud that it was his desire that Col. Dykman continue in office, to carry out certain policies Inaugurated under his administration during the past year. Gen. Pershing himself put the name Col. iDykman In nomination, and the nomination was seconded by Maj.

Gen. Mclntyre and Brig. Gen. Douglas McArthur. There were about 200 at the meeting of the graduates, the attendance not being quite as large as usual, on account of there being no commencement exercises.

There is no class graduating this year at West Point, as a result, of the early graduation of classes during the war. A committee was appointed to take from the Society of The Cincinnati, at its request, the placing of a memorial window In the West Point Chapel, in honor of the officers and men of est Point who died in the World War.

The price t.f refined sugar underwent another1 cut today, bringing the wholesale figure down to cent a pound. Half a down of the big refiner announced the -cent price and the records of the American Sugar Refining Company showed that the last time augur sold a low a this was In February, 1916. The drop hag been steady dining the past several week and ha amounted to 2 cents a pound in about two months. Today' cut was from 8.30 cent. The refining companies announcing the S-cent level included the American, National, Arbuikle Warner, Federal, Kevere of Boston and Pennsylvania of Philadelphia.

Some chain tores have lately been selling at retail for tit cents a pound, and the low price i3 un inducement to house-wive to do much preserving this season. A year ago at this time sugar was 26 cents and more a pound retail. It has hern a matter of comment In the trade that since the Emergency Tariff Act was passed the price of sugar has been steadily dropping. The duty on Cuban raw sugar has been advanced from a cent to 1.S0 a pound, and instead of putting up the price of raw sugar In this country, the effect has been to reduce the price of the raws in Cuba. This price has been as low as 2.57 cents a pound lately, compared with 23 cents a year ago.

The Punta Alegre Sugar Company is the latest among the raw sugar companies to stop paying dividends. Lost year this company was on a basis of $8 a year dividends. Last quarter $1.25 was paid, and this quarter, according to word from Boston today, the dividend has been passed entirely. Sugar refiners say that large manufacturing consumers are purchasing sucar only on a hand-to-mouth basis. They are looking for a hetter demand later in the season, particularly from preserving plants, but there is wide difference of opinion as to what this demand will amount to.
