Notes

The U. S. liner America arrived at Bremerhaven loaded with gifts for German children. At the distribution messages were read to them from President Coolidge and U. S. Secretary of State Hughes.

Foreign Minister Gustav Stresemann, returned from a vacation at Lugano, and the Cabinet held a meeting. It was decided to withdraw the Government subsidy to the German press. The subsidy was granted to keep down the price of paper. Newspapers in Berlin cost on an average 5-c- apiece.

All cats must be muzzled, said an official edict at Berlin. Any pussyfooted quadruped will be shot on sight if it is muzzleless. The measure was thought necessary owing to several cases of "feline hydrophobia" having been discovered.

The Allied Military Control Commission arrived in Berlin. Berliners snowballed the members. The despatch did not say whether this demonstration was one of friendship or hate. The latter was presumed.
