argument that 1t could be dismissed by nothing

In this view Of the case Germany may assert
that Admiral Kautz acted hastily or without
due authority. II is further POINTED out that
the so-called agreement reached among the
consuls. Of which Admiral Kautz speaks in his
proclamation cannot have been unanimous as
the contrary is proved by the proclamation OF
Herr Rose. From the German point OF view
therefore. It appears questionable II Admiral
Kautz entitled to use the language from
which 1t might be inferred that he had the as
sent of the German Consul for his proclamation.
II offence is taken at the wording OF the proca-
nation issued by the German Consul the Ger
man view is that this proclamation issued

sonable to assume that the last has been heard

NORTH POLE MYSTERIES.

The return of an Arctic explorer clears
up many mysteries, who says that much
new land was discovered in Weddell
Sea, and open water was seen far to the
south. This shows that the great wall
of ice reported by early explorers was
myth. Arctic explorers are not the only
ones who meet with receptions. Many
people with indigestion and dyspepsia
have been deceived so many times that
they believe there is no cure. They can
be cured though hundreds of medicines
have failed. Take the only reliable med

which also cures constipation, nervous
