Washington Awaits Word From Berlin;
Thought Germany Will Not Give in
but May Consent to Arbitration
Denburg Plans to
Leave America as
Soon as Possible

Washington, May 16.-Dr. Bernhard
Dernburg, often referred to as the un'
official spokesman of Emperor Will
liam in the United States, has made
plans to leave the country of his own
initiative within a short time.
1t became known in official quarters
here today that in view Of the init
nations that President Wilson and
the cabinet were displeased with DR..
Dernburg's speech justifying the sink
ing of the Lusitania and some OF his
other public utterances, which they
believed might be calculated to array
sentiment of Germans in the United
States against the Washington govern
ment, friends of DR.. Dernburg here
have persuaded him to leave the Unit
ed States.
Just when DR.. Dernburg would leave
or where he would go was not made
known, but it was believed he would
sail for Cuba or South America.
DR.. Dernburg's activity in the Unit
ed States since the beginning of the
war has been closely observed by the
President and other high officials here
who came to believe in the last week
that continuation of his speeches
and statements might in the event Of
a critical turn in relations with Ger
many. menace the domestic welfare
of America.

Diet FOR THE BRAIN.W0RKER

ence to Nervous System.

A great deal has been said about
the value of certain articles as brain
food, and one of the pet theories Of
popular physiology has been that fish
and other substances composed large.
ly Of phosphorus are the most appro.
pirate diet for brain-workers. But
modern science is emphasizing that
the best food for the brain is that
which nourishes the whole body, with
special reference to the nervous sys.

Brain power is largely an expires.
sion through the nerves Of bodily vi.
tality. In discussing this point in q
recent treatise. DR.. George M. Beard
says that the diet of brain-workers
should be of large variety, delicately
served, abundantly nutritious, of which
fresh meat should be prominent con
stituent.
In vacations, or wherever it is de-
sired to rest the brain, fish may, to q
certain extent, take the place of meat
He says we should select those arti.
cles that are most agreeable to our
individual tastes and so far as pos
sible we should take our meal amid
pleasant social surroundings.
In great crises that call for unusual
exertion we should rest the stomach

the harder, but the deficiency Of nu.

All the blame for the sinking of the

The newspaper asserts 1t was the
American passengers on board who
were to ensure that five thousand cas-.
es of ammunition in her hold would
not be touched. 1t is stated that the
fact Americans were being utilized for
this purpose naturally was concealed
from passengers Of that nationality.
The Vosssche Zeitung says the Amer

point, must ascertain who was res

danger and consider whether it can al

lives of American citizens in order to

The newspaper further contends
that after Gernany's, declaration of
war zone on February 4. the American
government ought to have prevented
its citizens from embarking on British
steamers, even those on the auxiliary
list, as in times Of peace, instead of
permitting individual Americans to
run into danger the magnitude of
which they failed to understand.

Establishes Lake Routes as Inde-
pendent From Rail
Systems.

Washington, May 15.-In one Of the
most far-reaching recisions of recent
years the interstate commerce com.
mission today decided that railroads
owning and operating steamship lines
on the Great Lakes must give them
up after December first.
The pricipal eastern trunk lines
carrying great volume Of freight
.raffic between the Atlantic seaboard,
and the west is affected. The decision
may partially alter the trade routes
over which moved millions Of tons of
the vests rich stores OF raw materials,
principally grain and ores to the east,
and MILLIONS of tons of manufactured
products to the west and northwest.
In effect, the decision establishes a
water route independent of railway
control from New York to Duluth and
other western points on Lake Super
ior, and to Chicago and other Lake
Michigan points through the chain of
waterways. The commission points
out the Great Lakes for many years
has been dominated by railroad-own-
ed fleets, and again will be open to in
dependent shipping.
Under the Panama canal law, rail
road ownership competing with water
lines is forbidden unless the interstate
commerce commission holds public
convenience and necessity are served
hereby The commission finds to the
contrary that the ''intereshts of the
shipping public will be conserved and

The American Calf.

Deer hunters are forbidden to kill
fawns in most American states. There
are laws to protect the baby seal.
Game fish under a certain size have
their lives insured by official regula-
ton. How does 1t happen, then, that
the American butcher goes on slaugh.
tering the American calf, slashing at
the throat of the nations meat and
dairy supply, without audible protest
from any quarter? The heifer calf's
place in our system Of table economy
Is not a matter of guesswork or the
ory. The calf that is eaten as veal
never develops into beef, nor can it
continue the race of its valuable kind.
It is a contention of experts that
very definite reason for our dwindling
beef supply is the unrestricted slaugh.
ter of very young heifers.-Philadel'

New York, May 16.-Mrs. Oliver H.
p Belmont wants to mead company
Of women t., fight the Germans if
President Wilson's note to Germany
brings on the war. which she earnest
ly hopes will come.
Mrs. Belmont's criticism of the Pres
ident's note is that it should have
been sent months ago. The United
States, she declared today, had been
playing cowardly part.
II can't help thinking that that note
to Germany wouldn't have been writ
ten even now, if nobody but some poor
steerase passengers had been lost.
The fact that it took the death of a
very wealthy citizen Of the United
States to bring protest is a poor
commentary on our government

interview with an officer Of high rank

In Vienna. The officer said:
Il spent half an hour In the working

to be much more lively and agile than
at any time during the last years
when saw him. During the audi.
ence the emperor walked up and down
the room. He was always noted for
Ihis excellent memory, but what saw
in regard to this now was really mar
velous. His majesty knows the name
of the commander of every regiment,
and even now Is we'll informed as to
changes taking place in commanders
of brigades and regiments.
"He is informed every day as to the
work being done by all the war ma.
Iterial factories. On the table in his
study lies an immense map with small
flags indicating the position of the
fighting forces.

majesty and the heir apparent. The
emperor speaks highly of the youne
king speaks very highly Of the young
heir and is extremely proud and fond
OF him.
