ENGLISH PAPER IS
VERY INTERESTING
WHILE WAR NEWS PREDoMlN
ATEs SPACE is FOUND FOR
MANY OTHER ITEMS. h

Copies of the Barrow Guardian OF
Barrow in Furness, England, have
been received by Mrs. Edith German,
2O6 East Lincoln avenue. and they
furnish many items of interest.
While the major portions of the pa.
pers are devoted to the printing OF
war news yet there is liberal sprink.
ling of local items. There were two
papers sent Mrs German under dates
OF September 10 and &c. Throughout
both of these copies there are mum.
Der of comments and letters written
on all sides of the war question. One
rather interesting item in the copy of
September S26. printed on the first
page as paid notice and run among
other ads, lis an appeal from the
Prince of Wales to the people of Bar.
row for subscriptions to the national
relief fund. The appeal is made
through Alfred Barrow the mayor of
the town, and asks the people for their
generous and ready support to the
fund which has been inaugurated for
the relief of any distress which may
arise in Barrow or elsewhere in con-
sequence of the war It. is stated that
~ - ACoiiOo tiioL OH lIHaiiSlhl dSSlbt-
ance should be dealt through the ma
Etional fund and that all sums collected
be sent to Buckingham palace. Local
committees are being organized for
the purpose of considering the needs
of each locality and attending to the
distribution of such relief as may be
required.
Another item tells of the death OF
an old soldier, resident of Barrow,
who fell from second story window
as he was awaiting marching orders.
He had been veteran of a former
war and had re-enlisted, being very
old and decrepit at the time. Many
short poems and bits of verse are scat.
tered throughout the paper with the
predominant thought in all of them
being the terrible conflict now on in

TO De RESPECTED
GERMAN AMBASSADOR SAYS HIS
COUNTRY HAS NO INTENTION
OF OFFENDING u. S.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 26-The Ger
man ambassador, Count Bernstorff
said today that early in the European
war he had assured the United States
government that whatever the outcome
of the conflict, Germany would respect

Count Bernstorff said he had filed
with the state department on Septem
Der g.. soon after his arrival in this coun.
try from Berlin, written official state
ment that Germany would not infringe
on the Monroe doctrine no matter what
the outcome of the war.
The ambassador said that his as
surances had first been given inform
ally in conversation with one of the
officials fthe state department but he
could not recall whether it was Secre
tary Bryan or Counsellor Lansing. Mr.

not know of them. Secretary Bryan
