Members of the musical merchandise trade will
be pleased to know that Baron Sternberg, the
German Ambassador, and Secretary Root have
reached the basis of a modus vivendi which will
continue to American goods imported into Ger-

This arrangement is temporary in character,
being intended to prevent a break in the present
tariff rates on American goods until such time as
Congress may have an opportunity to pass upon
a permanent treaty regulating commerce be-

The modus vivendi will be taken to Germany
