Jan. 23.—Creation of a tariff commission, it was learned from First One German Aeroplane and 12 Hours Later Two " German Seaplanes Dropped Bombs on Kent ONE MAN WAS KILLED AND SIX PERSONS HURT po; A Dbill providing for commission will be introduced in con- gress in the near future, and President Wilson may discuss the subject in a message to congress. The duties of the proposed commis- sion or board under the plan under- stood to have been agreed upon by ad- ministration leaders would be to col- lect information regarding the tariff and to co-ordinate similar powers now believed by President Wilson to be held by existing government bodies. Aside from his belief that the tariff always should be treated in scientific fashion, the president has given con- sideration to the situation which will follow the European war, and has been urged by many of his advisors that legislation will be necessary to safe- guard American industrial and com- mercial interests when that time comes. lome Damage was Done to Property—TbeExecutlon Was All Done by the Aeroplane—Aircraft Escaped, Altllough They Were Fired Upon by the British Aviators—Monte- " negrin Adriatic Coast Ports Have Fallen Into the Hands of the Austrians—Russians Are Continunig Their At- tacks on the Turks in the Caucasus. part of the property at auction to sat- isfy the ¢l HEAVY FIGHTING BETWEEN THE BRITISH AND TURKS Battle Took Place at Essin, Seven Miles from Kut-el-Amara.

This gathering is timely be- cause those who are engaged in over- sea commerce and who find that a foreign outlet for their products both natural and manufactured is necessary to continued prosperity should seri- ously and constructively discuss ways and means to meet the competition which may be expected to prevail in markets after the war.
