SEATTLE, Jan. l5.--The millers Of the state of Washington predict that the price of flour will soon reach two dollars and fifty cents per sack
 The rapid advance of wheat will, as l matter of course compel a corres- bonding advance in flour and it is be- leved that although the price of wheat is largely speculative and fictitious the high prices will rule for some time to come and the indications are that they will even continue to advance beyond the high prices now prevailing

RESISTANCE TO DISEASE

The power of your body to resist dis ease and to fight it after disease gets g. foothold is one, of the most precious pos- sessions you have. sae@. J..
 You weaken this power when you let your general health run down, your blood gets thin and your nerves unsteady.
 You weaken 1t when you worry, when you overwork or are guilty of excesses of almost any kind, when you do not get sufficient sleep and when you are under nourished, either because you do not eat the right kind of food or because your digestion is out of order.
 You preserve your power to resist dis ease when you keep good hours, eat pro- per food at regular intervals and are tenn perate in all things You increase and strengthen it when you build up your blood and nerves by the timely use of a tonic like Dr. Williams Pink Pills, free from alcohol, opiates and harmful drugs of any kind.
 These tonic pills and careful attention to your diet will go far toward keeping you in health. Two booklets, Building Up the Blood" and "'Yhat to Eat and How to Eat,' contain just the informa- ton you need and will be sent free on request by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y, if you mention this paper. Your own druggist sells pr. Williams Pink Pills.

GERMAN SPY HAD s. AMERICAN PASSPORT
Robert Rosenthaf,~ Arrested in Lon- don, Possessed Legal U. S. Document
 Issued by Embassy at Berlin.

London, June 9.-Robert Rosen- thai, who confessed to being a Ger man spy, sent to England by the German admiralty, after his arrest here Saturday, had in his possession at the time he was apprehended a passport issued at the American em- bassy in Berlin. There is no evidence that the passport was forged. The seal is genuine and in other respects the passport is regular. According to his own admission Rosenthal never was an American citizen.
 Information gathered here as the result of an inquiry conducted by the American embassy indicates that Rosenthal went to the Berlin em- bassy accompanied by several friends, one of whom was an American citizen. Rosenthal is said to have sworn false ly that he was an American citizen, his statement being attested by his companions. He was thereupon given a temporary passport.
 No further steps will be taken by the embassy here, as it has been es- tablished that Rosenthal is not an American citzen. Any further action which may be taken to investigate Rosenthal's method of procuring passport will be left to the Berlin em- bassy.

 "Obedient to your sense of duty. and actuated by the highest mo- tives, you have prepared for trans- mission to the German government a note in which cannot join with out violating what I deem to be an obligation to my country, and the issue involved is of such mo- ment that to remain a member of the cabinet would be as unfair to you as it would be to the cause which is nearest my heart, namely. the prevention of war.
 Differ Regarding Methods.
 T, therefore, respectfully tender my resignation, to take effect when the note is sent, unless you prefer an earlier hour. Alike desirous of reaching a peaceful solution of the problems arising out of the use of submarines against merchantmen, we find ourselves differing ir-

Amsterdam, June s.-George Bern hard. writing in the Vossische Ze1- tung today says. ''1t appears as if America will shirk the obligation to discuss with us preliminary questions concerning the character of the Cu- nard Line steamship Lusitania. Whether, this British ship had Weap- ons and ammunition on board seems to President Wilson to be less import ant than to learn from us what we think of the prosecution of a sub marine war. -...
 We confidently hope that our gov
 rnment will have nothing to do with such distortion of fac-s. If President Wilson wants a decisive answer from us it cannot be other than that the Lusitania was a British ship with contraband war material to torpedo which we had an absolute right with in the war zone.

sonal sorrow. Our two years of close association have been very delightful to me. Our judgments have accordedSin practically every matter of official duty and of pub lie policy until now; your support of the work and purposes of the administration has been generous and loyal beyond praise; your de- votion to the duties of your great office and your eagerness to take advantage of every great oppor- tuntty for service it offered has been an example to the rest of us; you have earned our affectionate admiration and friendship. Even now we are not separated in the object we seek but only in the method by which we seek it.
 '"It is for these reasons my feel ing about your retirement from the secretaryship of state goes so much deeper than regret. l sincerely de- plore it. Our objects are the same and we ought to pursue them to- gether. I yield to your desire only because I must and wish to bid you God-speed in the parting. We shall continue to work for the same causes even when we do not work in the same way.

Stephen Jacobs Fined S1O and
 Costs for Reckless Driving

Although he declared he was going but six .1niles an hour, Stephen Jacobs, a chauffeur employed at Denison's garage, was convicted of reckless driving on Main street last Friday on the testimony of Police Officers M. J. Cosgrove, A. c. Malone and Thomas Grace and fined $10 and costs by Judge John H. Kirkham in police court this morning. Attorney P. F.. McDonough, representing the accused, argued long and technically, but to no avail.
 On whose complaint Jacobs was ar rested it is not known. but Traffic Officer Cosgrove denied that he lodged a complaint against the young man. The officer testified that at 6:30 o'clock last Friday evening Jacobs went past him at the Junction of Main and East Main streets at slow rate of speed. In front of Keeney's were 300 people swarmed in the road watching an actor. As Jacobs went by him Officer Cosgrove declared he remarked: watch me give them a scare He told him not to drive through the crowd and the next
 minute he heard a shout and saw the crowd scamper as Jacobs went through it. ~ ..~s. ...s ..- >,
 Captain Grace was on the scene and he declared Jacobs was driving reck- lessly. The engine was, making a great racket as though it was going at terrific speed, bur Attorney Nc nonough explained that it might have been because it was in second speed ard was racing. Officer A. c. Malone was also present and when he saw Jacobs speed through the crowd he shouted at him to stop bur he did not heed. All of the officers were unani- nous in the opinion that Jacobs was going recklessly considering the con- dition of the street. #.,
 Jacobs himself said he was driving a Palmer-Singer car and was going only six miles an hour. He denied that he said he was going to scare the crcwd and stated that what Officer Cosgrove said to him was ''go through them"
 Lawyer McDonough argued very forcibly It is the law, he said, that the streets are for vehicles and cars but they should be driven so as not to endanger the lives Of pedestrians As the crowd of 300 people was in the street Officer Malone and Captain Grace were lax in their duty that they did not clear them away. he said.
 Judge Kirkham remarked that from the officers testimony he was satisfied that Jacobs was driving reck1essly and their testimony, combined with the accused's statement that he was
