LONDON, Iov. 19. A wireless message from Foreign
Minister Solf addressed to the United States says Germany
wants the armistice terms modified so that she can have
economic intercourse with the territory on the left bank of i
the Rhine, as before. He asks permission j or the German
owners to exploit their coal, potash and iron ore, and or a
general free use of the Rhine for transportation within the
old boundaries of the German empire. ry
A request is made for free navigation via Rotterdam and
the coast for the provisioning of Germany, and free rail
way traffic in occupied territory.
The official suggests that the old frontier be regarded as
a customs boundary, and that Germany levy duties, and de
clares that without these modifications Germany will ad
vance toward more or less bolsheviki- conditions, which
might become dangerous to neighboring states. He also
protests against the continuation of the blockade.

Mrs. Jennie Hum has 'Just return

her son Will, who reeea,tly left, with

reached Europe safely and waa sta

she l emphasising Nosh's Idea more
vividly than Is called for.
The final deculoa aa to who Is the
Mayor of this city will be made by
the Supreme Court of Oregon.
The unusual spectacle of two mar
ore eeated side by side at the Council
table waa witnessed at the regular
meeting of the City Council at tho
City Hall last evemug.nThl aeh
waa firmly resolved to carry off the
honors of the occasion was cvldeat
from the way each opened the meet
ing and ordered Police Judge Leavltt
to read the mlnutee of the previous
session. The altercation waa a' con
tinuation or the discussion held at
the meeting previous wbea I. R.
Struble, who was elected on the Fifth
of this month at the city election, was
given the oath or office and demand
ed the seat o.f the Mayor, who refused
to surrender the office until the leg
ality of the Btruble's election had
been settled beyond doubt.
Following a somewhat spicy dialogue
between the two men, Mr. Struble
asked for a choice from the Council
and there was a general call for aa
opinion from City Attorney R. C.
Groesbeck.
The latter In n attempt to bring
a spirit of harmony to the attained
situation, discussed st some length
the unfortunate position In which the
cities or the stite had been thrown by
the 'passage or khe Constitutional
amendment changing the date of
Oregon City elections. He brought
out the fsct that a number or other
cities In the state were now la prac
tically the same dellmna aa Klamath
Falls, aad strenuously urged that the
patience or all concerned be preserved'-
until decision could be secured
from legal authorities which would
clear up the difficulty: The posi
tion of Portland which Is somewhat
analagous to that or Klamath Palls
is to be decided la the near future
aad If such decision treats upon the
issues of the local situation, Its find
ings could be eafely followed, he said.
The choice of the Council or Klamath
Palls as to a Mayor would be a waste
or time as this body has mo power to
pass upon the qualifications of Mayor.
C. B. Crlsler declared that he did
not desire to hold the office of Mayor
a dty longer than was necessary to
establish the legality of his successors
election, and that in order to bring
thto matter about at the earliest mo
ment he would stand his own attorney
fees and contribute ISO toward those
