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.

for which congress recently appro
priated $110,000. As yet nothing has.

It seems certain that tho follow

ment: J. E. Enynrt's residence prop

property on Sixth and Ilolly; tho
Perry property nt Jackson nnd Cen
tral avenue; tho Webb property at
Sixth and Bartlett, and possibly a
lot on the corner of Oakdnlo nnd
Main.
It is rather a difficult proposition
to find a lot suitable for a federal
building, owing to tho requirements.
The lot must bo at least 140x140- feet
and the nenror it is located to the
depot the better. So many of the
