GERMANY PLEASED
WITH KNOX NOTE
Action of United States and KaserS Realm In Joining
Hands to Preserve Neutrality In China Consid-
cred Epoch-Makng Event.

BERLIN. Feb. 10.-With the dawning
public realization that this weeks ex-
change of notes between the United
States and Germany, seeking to protect
the Chinese open door, is probably the
most important step ever taken in the
direction of German-American diplomat
ic cooperation, the German foreign Of
Ace, through Assistant Foreign Secre-
tary Zimmerman, today gave a state
ment of the attitude of the German
government.
The action of the United States and
Germany in Joining hands to preserve
neutrality in China is now recognized as
an epoch-making diplomatic achieve
ment, in view of the fact that it is the
most important move ever made jointly
by the two nations.
While the foreign office naturally will
not comment on the diplomatic phase o.
the situation, 1t Is apparent that the
kaisers government Is gratifled at the
success of Count Won Bernstorff in Sc
curing the cooperation Of the American
State Department. The general impress
sion here is that Germany now is In
thorough accord with American diplo-
macy. The comment of Berlin news
papers is distinctly favorable to the ac-
I ton of Ambassador Bernstorff and Sec
retary of State Knox.
The statement given by the foreign
office to the United Press follows:

Is Laid to Rest

Private funeral ceremonies for Mrs.
George NJ. Dove, widow of DR.. Dove,
who, forty years ago. was a prominent
physician in Washington and herself
we'll known among the older residents,
were held at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. George d. Todd, 1779 Church street
northwest, this afternoon at $50 o'clock.
Mrs. Dove was born In Washington
ninety-one years ago, and had resided
here throughout her life. She was a
member of an old family, her father
coming to Washington from Washing
ton county, Md, and her mother being
a native of Washington.
AS a child, Mrs. Dove recalled see
ing the first railroad train that entered
Washington. She had vivid recollections
of the enthusiastic celebration in the
Capital during that event.
Besides her daughter, she is survived
by two granddaughters, the daughters
of Mrs. Todd; three grandsons, and
three great-grandchildren.
Throughout her life, Mrs. Dove had
enjoyed perfect health. and up to a few
days preceding her death she had read
the daily papers, and did not require
glasses to see perfectly. A week ago
she was seized with pneumonia, which
was the cause of death.
