Berlln.-The German foreign office t expresses belief that the negotiations se which have been proceeding for the o last three weeks between Ellis Loring 0 Dresel, the American commissioner in tl I Berlin, and Dr. Rosen, the foreign min- tl later, have progressed sufficiently to G warrant the conclusion that a general tl working basis has been established for h the conclusion of a formal peace Ii treaty between Germany and the Unit- a ed States at an early date. 1 It is understood in well informed te quarters that the German government has assented to propositions submitted h by the American state department g through Mr. Dresel, in the way of in- L r formal inquiries based upon the essen- i1 tial principles enunciated in the Por- y f ter-Knox peace resolution. None of a Sthese, it is said, had been opposed by t I the Wlrth cabinet, which is declared e r to be wholly ia acord with the Ameri Scan attitude on the prerogatives said privileges and various rights under the d h treaty of Versailles to which the Unit- t ° ed States is entitled by virtue of Amer- t r tea's participation la the war. t 0 EX-CHAMPION GIANT GOES D Back to Germany for Coney Attractlon Overtopped by Rival.

F TRIES SAYS THERE 18 A WIDER ASPECT. ISSUE HAS WIDE ASPECT A Allied Debt to America Can Only Be Paid When Allied Trade Brings Revenue.-"Payment in Kind" Suggested. London.-British manufacturers are seriously concerned over the prospect of a sweeping increase in the Ameri- 0 can tariff. Guy Locock, a director in n the Federation of British Industries, F the largest organisation of the kind in u Great Britain, In an interview with f' the World correspondent declared that a he voiced the opinion of the federation in saying that the world would be un- o able to discharge its debts to the L United States if the tariff were placed too high. b "The federation fully recogalies," he said, "that the policy of the United States can be shaped only by the United States. At the same time there s is a wider aspect in this matter, in c view of the fact that trade and oom merce are international in nature, and that any step taken by one country in evitably reacts upon the whole fabric of international trade. I feel that frank and friendly discussion of any difficulties that may arise in asy coun try should not be resented, and it may I be productive of good, especially at q e time when the world is suffering from t dislocation of trade. "The United States has efficiently built up an extens)ve export trade. As a result, the rest of the world must, in some manner or other, pay to the United States the debts owed to that I country and must also pay for goods imported from that country. "There is only one way in which this can be done, and that is by pay- 1 ment ia kind." OIL PROMOTER IN BAD. Sold Stock in Fake Scheme Through the Mails s Charge. , Little Reck,-Ark.-W.

LINDSAY REVEALED BY DAIL EIRE ANN AtTHORITIES. ARMED MEN BURN HER HOME 60-Year-Old Woman Suspected of Give ing Information to Police Con cerning Ambuscades---Was Kidnaped in February. London.-Mrs. J. W. Lindsay, widow of a Cork land owner, who was kid naped from her hovme in Coachford in February last by three armed men, was executed as a spy, according to in formation revealed by the Dail Eire ann authorities. The announcement of the kidnaping of Mrs. Lindsay was contained in a London dispatch of February 18 last. Her house, a large country estate, was burned. The supposition was advanced that i8nn Feiners were responsible for the kidnaping and the burning, having been suspicious that Mrs. Lindsay had given Information to the police con cerning ambuscades that were being laid at Drlpeey. In March, Maj. Gen. Sir Edward Peter Strickland, commander of the troops in Munster, received a letter from Mrs. Llndsay saying: Pleaded for Her Life. "Dear Sir Peter-I am told that two more men of the Dripsey ambush, Den nis Murphy and James Barrett, are to be tried tomorrow. Will you please, for my sake, spare these men. I beg you to do so and if the men are spared I shall be allowed to go home, and if not I cannot say what will be my fate." Nothing had been heard of Mrs. Lindsay since this letter was written. Only last week her sister issued an ap peal through the Irish newspapers on her behalf. Mrs. Lindsay was 00 yearS old. In addition to being a land owner, her husband was a justice of the peace.
