TABLISHED FOR CONCLUSION
OF FORMAL TREATY.

Germany Reported to Have Agreed to A
America's Retention of All Rights
Under Versailles Document.
Dressel, Negotiating.
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

WORLD CAN'T PAY S
WITH HIGH TARIFF
FEDERATION OF BRITISH INDUS. 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."

FATE OF MRS. J. 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.
Dublin.-The Master of the Rolls Is
sued a writ of detachment against Gen.
8tr Nevil Macready, commander of the
British troops in Ireland; Maj. Gem.
bwward Strickland, division command
er, and others, for failure to comply
with write of habeas corpus ordered by
I the Master of the Rolls, demanding
the production in court of John iBEga
sentenced to death by a military court
