Perhaps Satisfactory

Such advices as Ambassador Gerard
has sent portray favorable atmosphere
In Berlin, from which he infers that
the reply will be friendly and perhaps
satisfactory.
In general way, 1t is known official
ly that Germany Is .endeavoring to
avoid further attacks on passenger
vessels Of any nationality, but it's diff
hculty is to frame a proposal in such
a way as to prevent the allies from
continuing to ship large quantities of
ammunition and contraband on such
ships. One suggestion, discussed in
Berlin official quarters recently con-
tmeplated that passenger vessels clear
ing from American ports, be immune
from attack, placing the burden on
the United States to interpret just
what is meant by vessel primarily en-
gagged in passenger traffic"
Moral Obligation
While the United States claims, under
International law, the right to have its
citizens travel on all ships whether or
not they carry contraband. Germany is
hoping in some way, it is understood. to
impose a moral obligation whereby
Americans would be persuaded not to
take passage on vessels devoted chiefly
to traffic in contraband.
American Crews Problem
The suggestion in press dispatches Of a
Joint British-American or German
American inspection of passenger YES
sells is regarded in some official quarters
here as likely to furnish basis for a
partial understanding. Just what ar
rangement may be made with reference
10 cargo ships Of enemy nationality on
which Americans have been shipping as
members of the crew is matter Of
conjecture among officials. The cases
OF the British liners Armenian and
Anglo-Californian furnish instances in
which repeated efforts were made to es-
caps German submarines and officials
here are inclined to recognize the difficult
Ties which ensue from the actions of the
British commanders. in subjecting their
crews to the dangers of shell fire by ig-
horng submarine warning and making
continued efforts to escape. In such
cases, some officials point out that the
United States may be faced with a sit
ua'on in which it will be compelled to
INFORM its citizens who ship as members
OF the crews of foreign vessels, that I'M
ger international law the protection Of
neutral government ceases the moment
resistance to capture begins or on re-
peated efforts to escape.
AS whole, officials here believe the
iorthcoming note, while it may not be
productive of an immediate understand

New York, April Rocco Aviano,

Aviano had squatted on the property,
which adioined little place he owned
and he kept the Standard Oil represent
atives off with an axe until constable
arrested him. In default of bail to keep
the peace he went to Jail.
Since his commitment Aviano has
been asked ut times if he would be
good if released. His reply always has
been:
'I will protect my property at all
costs"
Sheriff Odell explained to County
Judge Vunk yesterday that AviaAo was
simply eating his head off. The Judge
signed an order for the prisoner s re-
lease When this was shown to Aviano
he shook his head and said he would
protect his property.

explained.
"That IS not my fault. 1t s mine, and

HOW TO REDUCE
YOUR WEIGHT
A Simple. Safe and Reliable
Way

People who are over-burdened with
superfuous fat, know only too we'll the
discomfort and ridicule that over-stout
people have to bear.
If you are CARRYING around FIVE or
ten pounds of unhealthy fat you are
unnecessarily weakening your vital or
gans and are carrying burden which
destroys the beauty of your figure.
There is no need of anyone suffering
from superfuous fat. If you want to
reduce your weight in simple, safe
and reliable way, without starvation
diet or tiresome exercise, spend as much
time as you can in the open air, breathe
deeply and get from any good druggist
a box of oil of korein capsules; take one
after each meal and one before retiring
at night.
Weigh yourself once a week so as to
know Just how fast you are losing
weight and don't leave off the treatment
or even skip a single dose until you are
down to normal.
Oil of korein is absolutely harmless,
is pleasant to take, helps digestion and
is designed to consume the excessive
fatty tissue by increasing the oxygen
carrying power of the blood. Even a
few days treatment should show a
noticeable reduction in weight, foot
steps become light, your work seem
easier and lighter and more buoyant
feeling take possession of your whole
being.
Every person who suffers from super
fiuous fat should give this treatment a
trial, there is nothing better.-Adv.
