LONDON, Feb. 1G. England awaits
the coming Of Der Tag with supreme
confidence. OillcIaldom generally ac-
cepts the enforcement Of the German
submarine blockade, which CONF
mences Thursday, as indicating the
''begInnIng Of the end" II Is felt that
this will be Germany's last great blow.
Her zeppelins having fniled to come up
70 expectations and her fleet being
forced TO remain impOtent behind her
closely guarded land fortliications, the
last weapon available Is her great iIeet
Of submarines. And the British Ad-
miralty very calmly declares that the
precautions already taken will abso-
luteIy nullify any under sea raids that
may be attempted.
There is not single official OF
either the army or the navy but be-

unl0ose their torpedoes at merchant
men carrying passengers. They de-

GERMANS NO LONGER WEAR
AMERICAN FLAGS AS FORMERLY

The Berliner Zeitung yesterday pub
lished a pamphlet, which, 1t was
charged, was prepared by former
President Theodore Roosevelt, urg-
ing the United States to join the
allies and crush Germany.
The Berlin Tageblatt reprinted to-
day a despatch from an English
newspaper which says that Ameri-
can officers have resigned from the
army and are applying for naturaliza7
tion as Britishers in order that they
may be eligible for commissions in an
American brigade being formed to
fight for England 1000 strong.
These are fair samples of the state
ments which are being published
which are creating the anti-American
feeling. Americans throughout Ger
many are no longer wearing the tiny
American flags in their buttonhole'
that were SO noticeable and so gen.
orally applauded in the early days o.
the war
The embassy and the consulate here
are being deluged with letters from
Germans friendly TO America ant
from German-Americans the tenor 0
which is
"How can we answer a man who ask
us why America sells ammunition
kill our sons and then expects rs also t

The Natalie Lowering Augustine
Bridge is the name Of the old Balti-

over the Brandywine which is to be
changed into a bridge for vehicles
and pedestrians, and put into actual
use.
The Levy Court today took up the
question of naming the bridge as the
Augustine Bridge. Mr.. Groves advis-
ed the court to be careful and not lock
horns with the Park Board on the
subject, that body having already
named the bridge the Lowering. Mr..
Groves said if the bridge is named
Augustine II would be the most ap-
propriate name Mr.. Groves said he
could not tell why Lowering had been
selected. unless IL was to show "the
loving" feeling that exists just now.
Mr.. Scott felt the bridge should be
named Augustine, and that the Park
Commission had gone a step too far II

Mr.. Pmks' motion to name the hridg'

BERLIN,-(By Courier TO COpen-
hagen and Cable to New York. Feb.
16.-The American government, press
and public, apparently does not realize
to what extent and depth the bitter
ness OF feeling throughout Germany
against Americans is spreading. With
the German press daily publishing dis
patches tending 10 show that the
United States is siding more and more
with the allies, and with the reprint
ing Of dispatches taken from the Eng
lish newspapers indicating extreme
hostility toward Germany, the people
of Germany are becoming worked up
to a point which it would be difficult
to exaggerate. Officials and American
citizens here cannot disguise their
serious fears that some incident will
occur which viii lead to a serious
crisis.
Wounded officers and men from the
front openly charge that the German
losses are becoming much greater now
that the French are using American
manufactured arms and ammunition
This has created an atmosphere
which, to put it mildly, is becoming
more and more frigid daily for Ameri
cans. Although hitherto the Germans
have maintained a praiseworthy atti
tude OF calmness and composure to
ward American business. they are nov
beginning to complain bitterly and tn
natural effect is a continuous growt
of the anti-American feeling. For in
stance, the peasants and landowner
of Bavaria and elsewhere are now re
fusing to buy agricultural implement
manufactured in the United States.

Thaw Goes Free

Harry K. Thaw was declared sane by Justice
Hendrick. He supported the verdict previously
brought in by jury. We hope that the curtain
of oblivion will now be drawn over this case. No
criminal case in the country in decade has been
so replete with foul and sensational matter as
this one; none has received so many columns OF
news space. Let Thaw and Evelyn withdraw
from the public gaze now and be forgotten
The last trial Of Thaw brought out distinctly
the worthlessness of expert testimony on mat
tiers of sanity. It was pretty generally estab-
lished that aienists were being paid to give their
opinions as to Thaw's sanity and insanity, and as
a result this testimony was greatly discounted.
Courts in the East are now paying much less at
tention to the utterances of alienists.

er things, have. forced thousands 81 persons to
seek health il their native land. Formerly out
bound steamers carried scores Of passengers who
were going to Karlsbad. Hombrux. Wiesbaden,
Luchon, Bath, Bogorra and other noted places
where healing waters were reputed TO cure all
ments.
Dr. Woods Hutchinson. whose writings on
health subjects are known all over the United
States, points out that every element found in
the famous springs Of European health resorts
can be found in the bubbline founts Of Colorado,
California, Utah, and in many places in the east
ern part of the country.
Not only this. He asserts that the cures as
cribed to many of the health resorts Of the Unit
ed States and Europe do not come from the water
the patient drinks, but from the change in envir-
onment, the exercise, the mental associations,
the proper dieting that accompany stay at san
itariums.
He mainstains that person can have the same
cures at home, in his own bath tub if he wants
to have them. Commenting on this, he says:
so that all you need to do is to send for q
prospectus Of the springs you wish to visit, turn
to its analysis and pick out the three or four
largest constituents of its waters; the appalling
comets tail of smaller items don't count at ALL as
they are not present in sufficient amounts to
have any effect upon anybody but your magma
ton, and are probably, most Of them, contained
in your own tap-water or wel-water.
Then go to the nearest drug store and ask
the prescription clerk to put you up twenty
powders, each containing enough Of these salts
to make twenty gallons of the mineral water as
per analysis. You will be surprised to find how
small the packages are in most cases, as well as
the large percentage of common salt, washing
soda and lime contained in them. Fill your bath
tub with water of the temperature registered at
the springs, lie down at full length in it, strike
sulphur match and hold it under your nose, and
you have all the gories of Carlsbad, AK or Luch-
on under your own roof"
