The shipyards are making feverish efforts to renew Germany's commerce ‘fleet. Such reconstruction is given an_im- petus by the recent agreements 1¢- tween the Hamburg-Amerika line and the Ameriean Ship and Commerce cor poration, and between the Nordout- scher Lloyd line and the U. S. Mail Steamship company. Admiral Benson of. the United States shipping board, has | descrihed. these agreements as strictly business deals which will help put the American shipping business on « strong footing. Here in Germany, one regards then as affording a field for activity for the old German companies and a starting ‘point for a quicker rebuilding of the Gerthan’ fleet than one could have ex- pected under the Versailles treaty con- ditions. , ? The German realizes that the Amer- ican agreement is not made out. of friendship for Germany, and he feels that there is in it a clever move to as- sure America’s standing on.the seas as against English competition. And, England yaanifestly is viewing the ar- rangement with the angry feelings of “Zuspaetgekommenen” (the too jate arriyed) and, it is possible that England will strive, perhaps successtul- ly, to make other connections with Germany for a co-operation in the ship- ping line, Farm of Witness in Murder Case Raided and Hay Set Ablaze (Special to The Tribune) SUNDANCE, Wyo., Oct. 14.-- While A.

Colonel Cody established a string of hunting lodges renowned through the visits of Bu- ropean nobility, her brother during these times, and when the town of Cody was founded, and wich was naimed in honor of the Colonel, it at once became a city of great importance commercially and as a tourist center for outfitting for over- jland trips through Wonderland. It was in that day that Colonel Coay conceived the idea of first class hotels along the route to Yellowstone, and the Irma at Cody and the Wapita fur- ther on and within a day’s journey of the park were built and equipped with every mofern convenience. These ho- tels became famous, The Deckers con- ducted theyn and built up a wide nc- quaintance and an enviable reputation.
