place of a Declaration of Independ-
ence, the delegates from the South
American states plan to draw UP a
Declaration of Interdependence.
This pact, which is called the Com
mercial Federation, will contain a
clause binding all parties to it to alb
solutely observe the neutrality Of the
high seas.
Second, it provides that no country
shall change its tariff, shipping or inn
migration laws without giving other
nations of the world due notice, as
such laws are Of international import
ance and affect all mankind.
third clause provides that when
a man is himself out of the country or
sends his money out Of the country
that becomes an international ques-
tion and not local one.
Economists who are to speak at the
sessions beginning Monday claim that
had such a pact as they propose been
in force between the nations of Eu-
rope there would have been no war.
And they assert that the success OF
such a pact now with South American
countries. and possibly with all ma
tions in the Western Hemisphere, Will
prevent war forever in this side ol
the world
Among those interested in the prop
lens which will be discussed are Isaac
Sprague, president of the N. w. Harris
Co., Boston Roger w. Babson o
Wellesley Hills, Mass, is secretary Z
the Society to Eliminate Economic
Causes of War.

Philadelphia, May 29.-On Monday,

pendance Hall in this city will for the
second time in its history resound with
the words Of men raised in behalf OF
independence of human beings.
For, by special concession OF the

14l years ago the public meeting was
held that led to the signing OF the

was on June /, 1774, which ledtto the
final meeting of July 4, 1776, when
the Declaration was formally signed.
And by a remarkable coincidence at
the meeting which convenes Monday
there will be thirteen delegates from
South American countries, which cor.
responds to the thirteen representa-

Independence Hall in 1875.

ship Warning Significant.
By United Press.


Washington, May 29.-The German
foreign office recommends that Wash
ington officials warn shippers to light
their vessels at night promptly and
sufficiently in order that there may
be no mistaking them in the war zone
1t was stated that one attack on a
neutral vessel was directly traceable
to insufficient lighting of her dis
tinctive marks The German foreign
office advises that vessels proceed
with caution in the war zone.
This warning is interpreted here as
meaning that Germany is willing to
limit its warfare to enemy merchant
men but on condition that neutral ves-
sells follow these directions.

Workman Excavating Reservoir at

SIZE SUGGESTIVE
OF The MASTODON
Specimens Similar to Others Found
in Various Places in This vi
cinity Lead to Much
Speculation

While making excavations for res
ervoir at Shanoan Springs yesterday,
workmen unearthed at depth OF IL
feet, several bones of some gigantic
animal believed to have been buried
there probably thousands OF years ago.
From the immense size of the speci-
mems and from their general shape,
there is hardly doubt but that they
are the bones of mastodon, the larg-
est known animal of all ages.
The excavation was all but complete
when the first find was made. One OF
the workmen was smoothing one OF the
walls when his spade struck what he
thought was rock. A few blows with
a pick brought to view peculiar look
ing object. w. A. Hopkins, who was
standing near, noticed it, and after
making a short examination of the pro-
truding section said, dig that out
carefully. 1t is petrified bone" The
workman laughed at the idea, but went

Berlin, May 29.-The German gov

note regarding the sinking of the Lus-

was handed to Ambassador Gerard to-
day.
The note was at once reduced to
code and it now on its way to Copen-

Washington via London. 1t is expect
ed that it will reach the Washington
officials by Monday or sooner.
While no official information as to
the nature of the reply was given out,
semi-officialIy is it stated that the note
is as polite as could be desired but
leaves the way open for further nego-
