GERMANS AFTER U. S. CONSUL
BERLIN, Jan. 12.—The German government is now

city use the occasion to recall the fact that Washington
recalled Consul General Gaffney for actions supposed to
be too frinedly to the Teutonic powers.
FOSS ROASTS THE BRITISH
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—In the house this after
noon Representative Foss of Ohio declared that violation
of America's neutrality rights are greater on the part of
Great Britain than on the part of Germany. He denounc
ed particularly what he called the high-handed methods
of the British in interfering with American ships and.
mails.
RUSSIANS COME FOR LOAN !
NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—Two representatives of the
Russian government are now on the way to the United
States for the purpose of trying to float a loan of a hun
dred million dollars for their country here. The former
allied loan bonds have fallen three points since their
issuance.
