"The ilpartinrnt has l,-rn alviel

Serious Consequences.
"Arsundntf that the foreolni; re
ports arn true the government of the
Tnited States, reserving for future
consideration the legality and propri
ety of the deceptive use of the Hat: of
a neutral power in any case for the
purpose of avoiding capture, desires
very respectfully to point out to his
I'i'ittanic majesty's government the
.serious consequences which may re
Milt to American vessels and Amer
ican citizens if this practice is con
tinued. "The occasional use of the flag of a
neutral or an enemy under th- stress
of immediate pursuit and to deceive
an approaching enemy which appears
hy the press reports to he represented
as the precedent and justification used
to support this action, seems to this
government a very different thing from
an explicit sanction hy a helligerent
government for its merchant siiips
generally to Hy the Hag of a neutral
power within certain portions of the
high seas which are presumed to he
frequented with hostile warships.
The formal declaration of such a pol
icy of general misuse l a neutral's
Hag jeopardizes te vessels of the neu
tral visiting those waters in a peculiar
decree hy raising the presumption
that they are of belligerent nationality
regardless of the Hag wheih they may
carry.
Asrninst I'm of l lag.
"In view of the announced purpose
of the Herman admiralty to engage in
active operations in certain delimited
sea areas adjacent to the coasts of
Creat I'.ritain and Ireland, the govern
ment of the lnitMl States would view
with anxious solicitude any general
use of the Hag of the United States by
liritlsh vessels traversing those wa
ters. A policy such as the one which
his ma jesty's government is said to in
tend to adopt would, if the declaration
of the Herman admiralty he put in
force, it seems clear afford no protec
tion to British vessels while it would
he a serious and constant menace to
the lives and vessels of American citi
zens. "The government of the United
Stales therefore trusts that his ma
jesty's government will do all in their:
power to restrain vessels of Uritish j
nationality from the deceptive use of
the Hag of the United States in the sea
area defined in the (lerman declara
tion, since such practice would greatly
endanger the ves-cls of a friendly
power navigatir.:-: 'hose waters and
would even Feem to impose upon the
government of (In at Britain a meas

American lives and vessels in case of

"You will impress upon his ma
jesty's government the grave concern
which this government feels in the
circumstances in regard to the safety
of American vessels and lives in the
war zone declared Py the (Jerman ad
miralty. "Voir may add that this government
is making earnest representations to
the (Icrman government in regard to
the danger to American vessels and
citizens if the declaration of the Her

cil Amlinss.idor Gerard at P.eilin to
Ireseni to the Herman government a
note to the following effect:
"The government of the I'niUd
States having had its attention direct
ed to the proclamation of the (Jerir.an
admiralty issued on the fourth of Feb
ruary that the waters surrounding
(Jrtat I.ritaln and Ireland, including
the whole of the English channel, are
to be considered as comprised within
the seat of war; that ."11 enemy mer
chant vessels found in those waters
after the isth instant will be destroy
ed, although it may not always be pos
sllde to save crews and Passengers
and th 't if neutral vessels expose)
themsel . cs to danger w ithin this zone
of war because, in view of the mis
use of neutral flaus said to hae been
ordered !.y the Hritisb government on
January 1 and of the contingencies
of maritime warfare, it may not be
possible always to exempt neutral ves
sels from attacks intended to strike
enemy ships, feels it to be its duty to
call the attention of the imperial Her
man Kovtrnment with sincere respect
and th-j most friendly sentiments, but
very candidly and earnestly to tile
very serious possibilities of the course
of action apparently contemplated
under that proclamation.
Should Consider Koults.
"The government of the United
.States iews those possibilities with
such prave concern that it feels it to
be. its privilege and indeed its duty
in the circumstances, to request the
imperial Herman government to con
sider before action is taken, the crit
ical situation in respect of the rela
tion between this country and Her
many which miht arise were the
Herman naval forces, in carrying out
the policy foreshadowed in the admir
alty's proclamation to destroy any
merchant vessel of the United states
r cause the death of American cit-
izens.
"It is of course not necessary to re
mind the Herman government that
the sole ri&ht of a belligerent in deal
ing with neutral vessels on the hij;h
seas is limited to visit and search un
less a blockade is proclaimed and ef
fectively maintained which this gov
ernment does not understand to be
proposed in this case. To declare or
exercise a right to attack and destioy
any vessel entering a prescribed area
of the high seas without first certain
ly determining its belligerent nation
ality and the contraband character of
its carpi would be an act so unprece
dented in naal warfare that this gov
ernment is reluctant to believe that
the imperial government of Hermany
in this caso contemplates it as possi
ble. Admits Itisht of Search.
"The suspicion that enemy ships
are using neutral flags improperly can
create no just presumption that all
ships traversing a prescribed area are
subject to the same . suspicion. It is
to determine exactly sach questions
that this Boverniuruf.undcrstands the
rit;ht of visit and suWiLio have been
recognized. ------
"This government has carefully
noted the explanatory statement is
sued .by the imperial Herman govern
ment at the same timv with the pio
clamatlon of the Herman admiralty
and takes this occasion to remind the
1 imperial Herman government very
respectfully that the government of
the United .States is open to none of
the criUc'sms for unneutral action to
which the Herman government be
lieves the governments of certain oth
er neutral nations have laid them
selves open; that the government of
the United States has not consented
to or acquiesced in any measures
which may have been taken by the
other belligerent nations in the pres
ent war which operate to restrain
neutral trade, but has on the contrary
taken in all such matters a position
which warrants it in holding those
governments responsible in the proper
way for any untoward effects on
American shipping which the accept
ed principles of international law do
not justify; and that it therefore re
gards itself as free in the present in
stance to take with a clear conscience
and upon accepted principles the po
sition indicated in this note.
Would I Jo Serious.
"If the commanders of Herman ves
sels of war should act upon the pre
sumption that the flag of Lhe United
States was not being used in good
faith and should destroy on the high
seas an American vessel or the lives
of American citizens, it would be dif
ficult ft r the governmeiu of the
United States to view the f.ct in any
other liuht than as an indefensible vi
olation of neutral rights which it
would be hard to reconcile with the
friendly relations now so happily sub
sisting between the two governments
"If such a deplorable situation
should arise the imperial Herman gov
ernment can readily appreciate that
the government of the United fc'Uitcs
would be constrained to hold the im
perial Herman government to a strict
accountability for such acts ot tneir
naval authorities and to take any steps
it might be necessary to take to safe
guard American lives and property, to
secure to American citzens the full
enjoyment of their acknowledged
rights on the high seas.
Will Ketain Right.
"The government of the United
States m view of these considerations,
which it urges with the greatest re
spect and with the sincere purpose of
making sure that no misunderstand
ing may arise and no circumstance oc
cur that might even cloud the inter
course of the two governments express
the confident hope and expectation
that the imperial Herman government
can and will give assurance that
American citizens and their vessels
will not be molested by the naval
forces of Hermany. otherwise than by
visit and search, though their vessels
may be traversing the sea area de
limited in the proclamation of the
Herman admiralty.
"It is added for the Information of
the imperial Herman government that
representations have been made to his
Frittanic majesty's government in re
spect to the unwarranted use of the
American flag for tho protection of
F.ritisli ships."

BATTLE FOR LIFE WON
FROM TUBERCULOSIS
FAMOUS OLD PLAYHOUSE
OF CHICAGO IS BURNED
UHICAHO, Feb. 12. The Academy
of Music at 16 S. Halstead st., once
the aristocratic playhouse of the west
sid was destroyed today in a tire
during which the balcony fell upon
several firemen, stunning 'them. The
gallery fell in soon afterward and th"
firemen abandoned the building and
turned their efforts to save adjoining
property in which they were success
ful. A pathetic feature was the burn
ing to death of "Nellie" a dog, which
for 20 yours had been the theater
mascot. The dog refused to leave the
flaming playhouse even when Uharles
Vogt. watchman, and Fernard Hense,
head usher, risked their lives in an at
tempt to drag it out.
The Newark shoe store, next door,
in which the fire started, suffered a
loss of $20. 000. The theater loss was
$75,000. An investigation has been
ordered.
FORGER SETS MATTRESS
AFIRE IN LAPORTE JAIL
MICHIGAN (MTV. Feb. 12. After
he had set his mattress atire in an in
sane frenzy, Frank Stout, in the coun
ty jail in Laporto for forgery, was
placed in a padded cell Wednesday.
It was about 12:30 that Stout, who
has given trouble on previous occa
sions, and who is mentally unbalanced
at times, seized a piece of newspaper
and lighting it at a gas jet, set tire to
his bedding. Turnkey Fosdick extin
guished tho fire with water from n
faucet and slapped the forger in a
padded cell. Stout, with three other
prisoners, was locked in an inner cor
ridor which fronts on a number or
cells. I To reached through the cor
ridor barn to a gas Jet with a piece
of paper and carried the lire tp his
cell.
Once before, when allowed to come
to a grated door to talk with visitors,
) j became frenzied, and grasping a
cuspidor, broke several windows. Jan.
17 one of Sheriff Ahlgrim s deputies
captured Stout near uanatah, where
he had gone after passing two forged
checks en Iaporte merchants and ob
taining an overcoat, cap and other
clothing.

way C. A. Wysong, 202 North College

of gratitude for bis recovery from tuber

'About two and a half years ago I took
a heavy cold and I coughed continually
nisrht and day and would raise the awfull

count of coughing and grew weaker all
tho time and at last had to give up my
work. I took treatment from two of the
leading doctors in the city, but they could
not stop my cough or build up my failing
strength. I became very much discour
aged. I oftn read about Nature's Crea
tion flnd what it did for others and con
cluded to investigate. I accordingly wrote
to a lady in Indianapolis, whose testimo
nial I had read, and asked her if it was

true.
"I began taking Natures Creation
in June. l'Jll, and 1 will say to you and
h11 sufferers from tuberculosis that before
the rirst bottle was half gone I felt a
change for the better. I have been taking
Nature's Creation ever since and to-day

life. I can work all day and not feel tired.
"If anyone is not convinced that Na

me."
Nov. 10. 1012. Mr. Wysong wrote:
"I am still feeling tip top. I pot on th

and might be the cause of saving som
