UNCLE SAM NOW IN DER KAISER'S "IN BAD" CLUB Half Dozen European Countries Sharo In Wilhclm's Views and Ro Jolco at Turn Affairs Havo Taken Stirring Up Trouble WASHINGTON, D. C. July 10. Unoffieially and popularly, tho United Statos is in thu kaiser's "In Bad club" and half a dozen European countries that sharo a similar dis tinction are taking small pains to conceal their satisfaction. German aggressiveness is not relished by thu European capitals and there is little doubt but that their sympathies would hu with America, should af fairs reach an acutu stage. Tho characteristic display over tho Madriz nolo is on a par with the kaiser's Jntormoddling with tho col onial policies of his European neigh bors, according to gossip in sumi-of- ticial circles. This has created in tense anti-florman feeling in many quarters. Franco and England are particularly hitter and the resentment extends to smaller countries along the North sea.

The lot must bo at least 140x140- feet and the nenror it is located to the depot the better. So many of the sites hnvo been taken for othor build ings thnt a suitable one is hard lo find.
