-FRANCO GERMAN PEACE FEELER.
NOTE TO AMERICA,
LONDON, March 20.
Speculation is busy regarding the chances of the latest peace feeler. The American Government The Liverpool Journal of Commerce states that declines to disclose the contents of the recent Ger- Clyde shipbuilders have been sounded with regardman-note, notwithstanding Germany's hint that she to a prospective big order for the Nippon Yusen does not object to publication or communication to Kaisha, which if it succeeds in securing the sub-M. Poincare. ~ stantial subsidy for which it is negotiating with the Japanese Government, will be prepared to order from the Clyde a fleet of liners of 23,000 tons and.18 knots to compete with the feet of the Canadian Pacific Company in the Pacific.
It is assumed that if the Nippon Yusen Kaisha carries out this scheme the Canadian Pacific will also enter the market for new boats with a view to retaining its pre-eminence in the Pacific.
Clyde firms will be prepared to build at a minimum profit, but the big rise in the price of ship plates, sections, etc., will swell the contract prices.
it is reliably learned that two motor boats have been ordered by the Nippon Yusen Kaisha from the Clyde. They will be 10,000 tons deadweight each and the engines will be fitted locally,

NEW TAXATION SCHEMES.
CONSTANTINOPLE, March 20.
Replying to the High Commissioner's protest
[
Official American circles point out that the German Charge d'Affaires in Paris can furnish M. Poincare with the information if he desires. The movements of Lord D'Abernon and Mr. Montagu Norman are also being closely watched. According to French newspapers Lord-D'Abernon, who arrived in London to-day, bears an official message from Chancellor Cano although official circles in London- deny that political significance attaches to the visit. As regards Mr. Norman, the Governor of the Bank of England, who is at present somewhere on the con tinent, the authorities are unusually reticent. Reuter's Paris correspondent announces that he arrived yesterday and discussed the terms of the repayment of certain British credits. Thereafter his movements are uncertain but he is reported to have left for Berlin.
