S/S G MILLER_» rj BELIEVE GERMANY BE SATISFIED AT WILSON’S TERMS | et BY LOWELL MELLETT WASHINGTON, June 11.—Whether the latest note to Berlin was sufficient to cause a break be- tween President Wilson and Secretary Bryan, it is not sufficient to cause a break between Germany and the United States. : This is the sense of expressions of German officials today, following the publication of the president's | rejoinder, which resulted in the American cabinet crisis and the withdrawal of. Bryan as premier. A Ambassador Von Bernstorff was smiling and cordial upon receiving visitors at the embassy today, but remained non-communicative. . Those close to the embassy, however, declared that not only is peace assured, but that restoration of the cordial relations between the United States and Germany may be expected. ; They emphasized that in the {s-| Meager reports from Berlin indi- sue regarding the submarine wer-|cate that the resignation of Secre- | | fare. as it affects Americans, the| tary Bryan was.a favorable indica- ; | first note of the U, S. gave the im-| tion in the ‘situation. 1 | pression that President Wilson) As the father-in-law of a British | demanded that all submarine ac-| soldier, -the fatherland saw Brya in & | tivities conse ae only in the light of a natural enemy. | q | ecep' ement | fY It Is known, they declared, that! g,_Call Bryan Pro€nglieh : Germany Is ready to accept the|,, 9 n : | official statement regarding the | the retirement of a somewhat pro- Lusitania | Englieh premier. ; | Also secret intimations have! _ It was explained today that the} constantly been reaching the Unit German government must consider} public opinion in responding to the!

Most of them have gone their way Others, to the number of 45, are working for J. B. Powies, a Western ave. commission merchant, pulling stumps. Powles, who took considerable philanthrople interest in assisting with the management of the Hotel LAberty when tt in operation, found the total cost of furnishing everything $00.9501 per meal per man. We take hin own figures We also e his own statements for the following facts That he pays these 45 men the munificent and somewhat startiing sum of 50 cents per day and their board. That he has 40 acres of Puget Mill Co. land to clear, on Avalon way, 35th ave. 8. W. and 25th ave. 8. W. That he took the contract at the agreed price of $135 an acre. That he expects to complete the contract by 100 days from Jast April 1 Now, get out your paper and pencil and do a little ‘rith metic. Multiply 100 day by 50 cents, then by 45, which will give you the total amount of wages due the men at the end of the job. The answer is $2,250. The ulitply 45 by $00x.0501, which equals $676.25, the total cost of 18 for all workmen for the 100 days, if Powles works it out the way he did at the Hotel Liberty Add the two results. They equal $2,926.35. That's what Powles will record on the debit side of his ledger, calculating with his own figures.
