helm is irritated at the growth OF an
anti-American feeling IN his capital;
he has let IL be known that he dis
approves some Of the angry scom-
ments OF the Berlin press. and Berlin
newspapers today exhibited more re-
straint In dealing with the American
note.
This information was contained In
dispatches from Berlin today. II car
ried semi-oficial confirmation OF the
report that the emperor had invited
United States Ambassador Gerard TO
his headquarters near the eastern
battle front to discuss q situation ad-
mittedly serious.
The American ambassador. the adj
vices said. has accepted the kaisers
invitation. He will leave for East
Prussia, accompanied BY ChAncellor
Won Bethmann-Hollweg. and Will en-
deavor to acquaint the kaiser with the
exact attitude taken by America TO.
ward Germany's warnings to neutral
vessles that on and after Feb. Is they
will sail English waters ut their own
peril.
The kaiser. at the same time. de-
sires to have the position OF Germany
explained clearly.
The majority of the Berlin papers
today toned down their attacks upon
America, apparently under direction
from the government. The Lokal An
zeiger said, while Germany might ex-
pect nothing from the English but .
purely shopkeeping conception" OF
international matters, such treatment
IL not anticipated "from the young
proud Americans, through whose veins
flows such an immense quantity or
German blood"
The Tageblatt, however, was an ex-
ception, and today warned America
that she must not conclude that Ger
many IL afraid of her.
"The tone OF the American note
was quite conciliatory." said the Tage-
blatt ''but the tendency was not free
from one-sidedness. II is certain that
the German admiralty will not be d.
verted from Its plan OF submarine
warfare.
"Germany has done more than she
was obliged to In giving IA days mo-
tice to neutrals. Naturally she VIII
do her utmost to spare the lives and
property of neutrals. but II they can
not prevent the misuse Of their flags,
we have the right to demand that
they keep their ships away from the
war gone. From our long silence re-
garding Americas sale Of arms to the
allies, the American government must
not conclude that Germany is silent
on all matters or in any way afraid
OF America"
The Berlin press pointed out today
that American fears that one OF the
big transatlantic liners. carrying
American passengers. might be sunk
by German submarine, are not well
grounded.

Allies Take Offensive,
Says Paris Report
nv HENRY WOOD.

(Stdf Correspondent United Press.)
PARIS, Feb. 15.--Defeat OF the
Germans in a three-day battle around
Norroy and Xon, in Lorraine, and
success of allied infantry charges
along the road from Bethune to La
Bassee. were claimed in dispatches
received here today.
The Germans have been driven from
the heights surrounding Norroy after
three days Of furious fighting. Rein
forcements brought up by the enemy
to enable the Germans to retain their
hold on the positions they captured
on Saturday, arrived too late. They
spent their force In an unsuccessful
attempt to take another hill captured
by the French early Sunday.
The allied forces west OF La Bas-
see have assumed an energetic OF.
fensive movement along both banks
of the canal leading toward Bethune
IA French regiment charged the Ger.
man positions and captured more
than $50 yards of trenches.
An ofi1cial statement from the war
office this afternoon commends Q band
lof French chausseurs, who, finding
themselves surrounded by the Ger
mans in the vosges. executed bril-.
liant bayonet attack on skis. Several
Iof the chausseurs broke their way
through the German lines and es-
capped. The others were taken pris'
oners.
Violent bombardment continues In
Belgium and at several points to the
south. notably at Soissons, the war
Office announced this afternoon. Ger.
man shells have set fire to several
buildings In scissors that had escaped
previous bombardments. Near the
seacoast, the French gunners have
been successful in s'lencing German
mortars.

Bears Sir;
Notwithstanding announced sever
al months since that would not be a
candidate for Police Juror to succeed
myself my friends still insist that l
should run. lam not insensible to the
compliment paid me by this inslstance
and wish that circumstances were such
that l could with justice to myself and
my patients accept the Office for an
other term, but they are not, and /
want to state positively that will not
be candidate for the office and would
not accept it if elected. ! make this
statement now because there remains
only few day in which candidates may
declare their intentions and it is impor'
tant that Ward 6 be represented by one
of the strongest men we have, as well
as other wards, the next four years are
going to be hiStory.making expoch in
our parish and the Police Jury should
be composed of the very best men to be
found in the several wards.
Yours truly,

in 1913 now has 10000, or net gain o.
5000 head. Take into consideration
