DOES NOT MIND u. S.
Contemptuous Article Appears in Der
lin Zukunft Regarding Ameri-
can Note.

Copenhagen. Feb. 6.-In the Berlin
Zukunft. Macmillan Harden publishes a
long. contemptuous article about the
United States, the conclusion of which Is
that the United States will profit i'm
mensely by war and cares nothing
about anything except money making.
He declares Germany does not care in
the least about American opinion regard
ing the cause of the war. and it is not
worth while to utter a syllable i'm Ger
many's defense.
Seriously We beg the Americans not
to cry murder If few American ships
are injured in the war about to be made
by German submarines against Eng
land.
Great Britain desires to shut off our
food from America. We desire to shut of
England's import of ammunition and raw
materials from America.
American ships do not try to reach
our coasts with their cargoes. There
fore. We say. Stay away from British
coasts also; you were warned in good
time
What is now to happen is compelled
by the pitiless necessity of war. 1t must
be; let no cry of pain from America, nor
any menace from there sound in Ger
many's ears"

Skin Easy to Have

An over-red or sallow complexion. or
a chapped. blotchy. pimply or freckled
skin, can by a quite simple. harmless and
inexpensive method, be changed to one of
foweriike radiance. spotless purity and
velvety softness. One ounce of common
mercoliZed wax. to be had at druggists
generally. will remove the most unsghtly

its remarkable absorptive power, the
coarsened. roughened or discolored layer
of thin film-skin which hides the healthier
skin underneath, is gradually fiecked of
in tiny. almost invisible particles. This
is done SO gently there is no iuconven-
fence, and no trace Is left on the skin ex-
cept that OF enhanced beauty. The wax
Is smeared on like cold cream before re-
firing, and removed In the morning with
warm water.

Of those who voted against the ship bill
at the party caucus held last night. The
assumption was that Mr.. Burleson, as
the dispenser of postoffice patronage,
wanted to add to his blacklist the
names of all Democrats who failed to
stand by the administration in this
emergency.
Six-hOur Rule Not Effective.
The rule limiting the debate on the
bill to six hours was not entirely ef-
fective. The filibuster engineered by
Mr.. Mann prolonged the proceedings
and at one stage the Democratic lead
ers seriously considered presenting
another rule to shut off debate in
stanter. This was opposed by Mr.
Underwood and other leaders.
The twenty-nine Democrats who
voted against the caucus dictum were
Representatives Borchers. of Illinois;
Donohue. of Pennsylvania; GalIivan
and Dietrich. Of Massachusetts: Moss
and Morrison. of Indiana; ShackIeford
of Missouri: Sisson and Witherspoon.

Owing, however. to the uncertainties
of communication between the two
countries, the full text is not expected
before tomorrow. In substance this
reply. ii is expected, will follow the
general lines laid down in the two
communications on the subject of the
war zone addressed TO neutral coun-
tries before the American protest was
registered at Berlin. That is to say.
it is thought. Germany will repeat
that the decree was retaliatory
measure forced upon Germany by
England's food blockade. and that its
modification in respect TO neutral ship
ping can be expected.
In the other hand. there were plain
evidences of concern among members
of the Cabinet regarding the anti
American feelings being stirred up in
Germany by the press of that country.
While il was realized that the tone
of the American note to Berlin was
partly responsible for this feeling. Of

partly the result of more or less de-

of hostility towards the United States

BY HERBERT TEMPLE.

Gcrmany's proposal that England
abandon her embargo upon foodstuffs
consigned to German civilians in re-
turn for Germany calling off her sub
marine campaign against English mer-
chant shipping. was presented to the
cabinet at an extraordinary session by
Foreign Secretary Grey today. Accord
ing to relia BILE reports. the German pro-
posal was rejected in its entirety.
No compromise" This is the attitude
of the British government today in ref
crence to the German proposal trans
mitted through the American govern
ment that if England will permit the
passage of foodstuffs for the civilians
of the Kaiser's empire. the Berlin ad-
miralty will rescind its order estab-

by it's warning that neutral shipping Is
liable to suffer.
The comment of the press may be sum-
married. thus:
Germany has challenged us. We have
accepted the challenge. Now let Ger

the very instrument of warfare OF which
it is in terror-the British tleet."
After Sir Edward Grey had presented
to the cabinet the proposition Of conf
promise made by Germany. the members
were informed by Winston Spencer
Churchill, head of the admiralty, of the
plans that had been made to retaliate
against Germany. These are understood
to include a blockade Of the German

the opinion of the cabinet. announced
