Germany Evades Issue
of Safety of Lifeboats
Washington, Dec. L"_. Germany has
evaded the attempt of the State De?
partment to settle the status of life?
boats as a "place of safely" for the
passengers and crews of vessels at?
tacked by submarine?. This, it is un?
derstood, is tee salient feature of the
note just received by mail from Am?
bassador Gerard in rep'.y to the Ameri?
can note ?'f October It, on the sinking
of the W ill am 1'. Pry?.

?s-nat answer this government will make i
to this note. The State Department's
bet?rest in the u?.?e arises principally '
from the bearing it is expected to have
on the whole question of submarine
warfare. The safety of lifeboats is a
question that may arise at any mo?
ment, through the destruction of a ;
merchantman bv a suhmarino. S'otn?
officia I* of the department believe that '?
the American ?ejections to ti..? mear.s

Idly, and a definite agreement v iti
Germany on this point i? therefore
eagerly sought.

Tecla Pearls
are pearls in the true sense of the
word, and, save to the expert eye.
they are indistinguishable from the
ocean specimen, for they
reproduce perfectly
not only the weight, color, texture,
and orient of the ocean pearl, but
are so ingeniously designed that
they may be obtained in unspher
?cal, uneven, un-uniform shapes,
thus matching
even the imperfections
of the genuine gems ! !
