I22-26-W.4TH-ST ADDRESS (By Associated Press) Washington, Jan. 13. Ambassador, jerard's much-discussed speech ou his ; return to Berlin, in which he was uuot-: ed as saying that "never since the j beginning of the war have the re- i lations between the United States j , , ... , ,,. RnB Germany been as cordial as now, , was reported substantially as made. it was said at the state department today; The full tevt of his speech has been received at the department and officials declared that on first examination it appeared lo be prac tically as contained in news dis patches. ( The text will be examined care fully and it is probable some an nouncement will be made later. Ambassador Gerard's speech has caused more comment abroad perhaps than any utterance by an American diplomat since the war began. The German newspapers attached much significance to it, especially as it fol lowed Ambassador Gerard's visit to President Wilson here, lu general the German chancellor's supporters and those looking to an early peace ap proved it, while the chancellor's ene mies and those urging vigorous war fare regarded his suggestion that so long as the present German officials continue in power no trouble was likely as an undue interference in Germany's internal affairs which should Justify his recall. Allied press comment divided some what Binillarly. The bitterly anti German papers took offense at his statement that relations with the Uni ted States we're more cordial now than at any time during the war, while some of the more liberal papers inter preted his hint about the continu ance of Bethmann-Hollweg in power as a threat by this country that the overthrow- of that government by a more radical administration would strain relations with thiB country to the breaking point."

It repeats j the Hsuertlon that Germany was res- ponsible for starting the war, Inas I inu h as the proposal for a ,confer i eucrj was rejected. This refusal, it Is pointed out, was ; given on July 27, 1914, while it was j not until July 31 that orders were ; Kivun for a gonoral mobilization by j the Russian government.

(By Associated Prss) Washington, Jan. 13. In a supple mental brief In the Adamson law test case received today at the supreme court for formal filing next Monday, the department Of justice makes sug gestions for machinery to put the la into effect. Under existing railroad wage con tracts, the brief declared, the phrases "day's work" and "day's wage" have a well recognized meaning in most freight service contracts to be "100 miles or lees at 10 miles per hour." By, substituting a 12 1-2 mile per hour "epeed basis" for the existing 100- mile ten hour day scale, the brief asserted, the Adamson eight hour standard can be generally put Into practical operation. The following proposed endorse ment on existing ten hour, contracts was submitted to the court: "Whenever by this schedule more than eight hours constitutes a day's work, the same is hereby reduced to eight- hours, whether herein stated in terms of hours or in terms reducible thereto; and all overtime shall be paid pro rata." Regarding this proposed effect, the brief addded: "The Adamson aot declares in effect that every employe of the class af fected, no matter what iis task, shall be considered at the end of eight hours to have earned the contract price payable for a day's work. It he is worked longer and he may be, such work will constitute overtime and en title him to extra pay. iTbe economic burden of this extra pay is counted ou to produce an actual shortening of hours, and this shortening can be ef fected . without curtailing the .mileago of the day's trip if the speed per mi!e Is increased. , 'If, however, like passenger engi neers and. conductors, the employe is laboring at a task which can be and usually; is accomplished In less than eight hours he te of course unaffected by the act, . The purpose was to de crease, not Increase the hours of act ual labor. It is only when set to a task or longer duration than eight hours that the act steps in and penal lzes inepTOyer by imptmasr over- Urn The certified copy of the act author izing the city to Issue bonds in the aum of .180,000, passed by the general assembly, was reported to the board of aldennen at their meeting in the council chamber last night. The bonds are authorized to meet certain expen ditures for necessary and permanent Improvements made during the past two years. The bill , was one of tbe first introduced at the opening of the general assembly last week. The board authorizes the finance corumltee to arrange the preliminaries for the negotiation of the bonds at once, and to report back to the board. Several minor matters were acted upon by the board. Mayor O. B. Eaton, who has just re turned from Raleigh, where he attend ed a meeting of the State Association! of Mayors, gave some interesting fact: affecting the legislation pending be fore the present session of the get eral assembly. Bills providing a soliB tion for governmental problems havey Deen uraiieu, anu are receiving consid eration , but the most important and far-reaching are those affecting the finances of cities. Included are pro visions classifying municipal bond Is sues, with the length of time for which they may run limited and graduated according to the character and life of the Improvement for which they are issued. The legislation, if enacted, will also prohibit municpalities from issuing bonds for a floating debt, demanding that some other means be adopted to meet, the expenses of a city or town. All towns with heavy floating debts will be given an opportunity to Hqut date them, however, within a given period following the enactment of that bill. In commenting upon the proposed municipal legislative program Air. Ea ton declared that it Is the most far reaching ever contemplated in the his tory of tbe state. INSTANCES OF SUPPORT OF PLAYERS' FRATERNITY J " I CITY TO ISSUE BONDS 10 PAY FOR NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS (By Associated Pr5) Boston, Jan. 13. Two instances of support by major loague players of the Baseball Players' Fraternity de mands In behalf of minor league mem bers developed here today. Harold Janvrln. who played second base, for the "Boston Americans in the last world's series, announcing dis satisfaction with the terms of his prof fered contract, said he would not sign It until permission was given him by president David L. Fultz, of the fra ternity. His statement followed closely the refusal of J. Carlisle Smith, third baseman of the Boston Nationals, to sign a contract during a conference with President P. V. Haughton. altho Smith said the terms, were satisfac tory. Most of the members of the local teams ra members of the players' or ganisation. 1 - " iii Not a single malicious killing is the record of Winston-falem during the year 1916. Police Chief J. A Thomas said this morning that this was the first year since his connection .vith the derart ment, and the chtef has been atfliated with the promotion of law and order in Winston-Salem for many years, that there have not been one or mare mur ders or homicides. There was one killin?, hut it was not done maliolouoiy, or with an in tent to violate the law. Rather it wis done In the efforts of a patrolman to preserve law and oidar in th com munity. ' Patrolman K. E. Wo-Jten shot and killed a negro man one Sunday night early in the year. U happened in the northern pjr. of the city'' and was not done unlil after the negro had advanced on the officer with an axe handle. This killing was in self defense. " Considering all conditions, the rec ord of 191-6 is a most remarkable one: It is extremely doubtful if it can be equaled foyi many cities with a popu lation of between 115,000 and 40.000 people. ' Certamly 'liore are but few that can say they have seen a year go by without a killing of one kind or another. All hopes the polUe department may have had of duplicating this rec ord in li)17 were shattered last Sun day afternoon, when the badly-cut body of Meal Gray, colored, was found ly lng in a creek in the northern part of ther city. Gray was killed by Sher man Crews, also colored, who is now awaiting trial in the superior court, to which he was sent from the city court. But the police are of the opinion that from now on the number of mur ders will grow less each year. The faster the country goes for prohibi tion, the faster will the number of crimes decrease, hot only in Winston Salem, but in every other city, as 'Well, In the view of the officers. It is a known fact that few crimes are committed by absolutely sane men, that is. men who are sober and In their right senses. The records of most of the big crimes committed in Winston ISadem will show that tha murderer was tinder the influence of either liquor or cocaine nine times out of ten. With these two perils out of the reach of the people, human lives are much safer than when liquor nd cocaine could be bought in Winston-Salem, it Is held. - folic Chief Thomas attributes the wotderftil record of 1916 entirely and without reserve to the absence of li quor and cocaine in Winston-Salem. With cocaine out of the way, whis ky out of Virginia, and a law that only permits one quart in fifteen days, rigidly enforced, even a greater da crease in crime may be expected in Winston-Salem in the years to come, the officers believe.

' land adjoumeU till Monda;-afternoon. W. M. Armistead, who for the past year has been connected with the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, has de cided to remove to Philadelphia the latter part of this month, where he will again join N. W. Ayer & Sou. Since the It. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company became national advertisers, N.i VV. Ayer & Son have placed their advertising, and have been represent ed, from the beginning, by Mr. Armi stead. Mr. Armistead said that he regretted exceedingly to give up his residence In Winston-Sulem, but felt that his serv ice could be of more benefit to the R. J. Reynolds Company by making Phil adelphia his headquarters, and visiting here frequently, which will not cause any change in his present pleasant business relations. 1 "For six years before moving to Wiu. ston-Salem," said Mr., Armistead, "It was my privilege to come here at regu lar intervals; therefore, when I be came a resident of your city 1 did not feci that I was among strangers. My year's residence in Winston-Salem has been a source, of much pleasure and gratification to both Mrs. Armistead and myself, as we have enjoyed the delightful hospitality of your citizens, which represents the 'Old South' In all of its cordiality, and our consolation is the anticipated pleasure of frequent visits hero in the future." "Winston-Salem is a great city, but," continued . Mr. Armistead, "as compared with its future, you might say it is just shaking off it swaddling clothes. It is- now by far the largest manufacturing tobacco center in the j world, and its production of heavy weight cotton-ribbed, knit underwear is also the largest in the world. "In addition, there are. various other lines of industry that are growing at a re markable pace. "Winston-Salem is no longer local or sectional in its reputation, because it has gained, within the last five years, an international reputation. The advertising that. Is. done by the Winston-Salem manufacturers circles the Klobe and helps to carry their products into every corner of the world. "During the next ten years, I predict that Wnston-Salem will show greater growth than it has in the last thirty yearj, and its growth during that time has, as you know, been remarkable. "Regardless of w here you may travel, mention Winskm-Salem and your in traduction is sufficient. It is hard for anyone to understand or appreciate the importance to commercial life of the great industries located in Wiu-Bton-Salem without an intimate knowl edge of their persistent growth. "The citizens of Winston-Salem can talk and w rite about their town enthus iastically without exaggerating it in the least, and none should overlook an opportunity either in personal con versation, by letter, or in the printed page, of further informing the citi zens of the United States what Winston-Salem offers as an industrial and residential city. New York, Chi cago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Kansas: City, San Francisco, as well as other j cities, have a tremendous number of important industries. There are in-1 stries in Winston-Salem, however, tlfWt surpass anything on the face of thei earth for importance and volume of usiness. The fact thta Winston Salom and her industries are favora bly jtnown thruout the world should caue the blood of her citizens to tin gle hvith pride. "he R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Com pany for a number of years has been 'consistent user of daily newspapers nd mediums of a national character, never overlooked an opportunity of furnishing newspapers with news and Interviews concerning the importance of Wlnstou-Salem aH a manufacturing city. In this way, Winston-Salem has received many thousands of dollars' worth of publicity, in addition to the publicity pained by the general adver tising that is done by your various 7n ihistries. "I take a lit or personal pride iu Winston-Salem, both from a business and social point Of view, and 1 shall I continue to do everything in my power to further promote her interests. In moving my headquarters back td Phil " ""':'"-" ; .. .. , ",.. fore." While, as Mr. Armistead. says. Tils primary object in leaving the city is to enable him to render more efficient service to the Reynolds Company, his departure .will, nevertheless, be the cause of sincere regret among his wide circle of friends. Mr. and Mrs. Armi titead and little daughter expect to leave for Philadelphia, in about teii days or two weeks. They will carry with them the best wishes of their many friends here.
