Washington.-Count Won Bernstorff,
the German ambassador, notified the
State Department that his government
had given official assurance that no
foodstuifs shipped from the United
States to Germany would be seized for
military or any other governmental
use.
The order of the federal council of
Germany for the seizure of all stocks
OF corn, wheat and flour by Feb. l, had
been construed by some officials here
as likely to deprive the owners of the
cargo of the American steamship Will
hclmina of the right they claim to land
their food supplies in Germany.
The basis of their claim was the
declaration that the grain was not
intended for the German army or the
German government. but for non-com-
blatant individuals, and therefore, not
subject to seizure according to the
terms of The Hague convention.
Berlin.-The federal council has put
into effect sweeping regulations for
the conservation of the food supply, as
follows:
".All stocks of corn. wheat and flour
are ordered seized by Feb. l.
"All business transactions in these
commodities are forbidden from Jan.
&c.
''All municipalities are charged with
the duty of setting aside suitable sup
plies of preserved meat.
THE owners of grain are ordered to
report their stocks Immediately where
upon confiscation at u fixed price will
follow.
"A government distributing office
for the regulation of consumption will
be established, distribution being made
according to the number of inhabi-
tants.
The Imperial Gazette publishes the
cation of grain: There is no doubt
hat the measure ordered taken cuts
much deeper into the economic life of
our people than all the other economic
regulations hitherto adopted by the
federal council during the war. 1t is,
however. necessary, in order to make
certain and sufficient and regular sup
ply of our people with breadstuffs
until the next threshing of the new
harvest, and is. besides, necessity OF
life for the government and the nation
The steps heretofore taken have
proved themselves not far-reaching
enough to bring about the sparing use
of our limited supplies of breadstuffs
which. however, are in reality suffi
cient for our needs. In particular the
measures hitherto introduced have not
prevented the feeding of bread-grain
to cattle. The present order gives us
the certainty that our enemies plan to
starye Germany will be upset, and as
sures us of plentiful bread until the
next harvest"

London, Jan. 25.-An attempt by a
German cruiser squadron to repeat
the attack recently made on Scarbor-
ough, the Hartepools and other Brit
ish coast towns, was frustrated Sun
day by the British patrolling squadron
and in running fight the German ar
mored cruiser Bluecher was sunk and
two German battle cruisers were seri-
ously damaged.
The British ships suffered only
slight injury. So far as is known only
1913 of the Bluecher's crew of SS5 was
saved.
A battle also occurred between the
light cruisers and destroyers accom-
panying the bigger ships, but the re-
suit of this engagement has not yet
reached the admiralty. The British
were superior in ships engaged. weight
of armament and speed, and the flight
of the German ships into the mine and
submarine infested field possibly
saved them from further losses.

RECOVERY FROM GRIP

The form Of influenza popularity
called grip lasts but . short time, Is
seldom fatal but causes suffering
and misery out Of all proportion to
its importance.
The reason Is this. When the
acute stage OF the grip Is passed
there often remains a neurasthenia
that persists for months IL not prop
erly corrected. The patient Is moody.
in poor spirits, suffers lack OF ap-
petite and vigor and feels indisposed
to work or even to enjoy LIE.
Warmth and quiet alone give com
fort and these not for long ut a
time. Sleep Is restless and does not
refresh the nerves which are always
at high tension.
The best way to correct this after
effect OF the grip Is to build up the
blood and there Is no better blood
builder than DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.
As soon as the revitalized blood
courses through the system you are
aware OF It's soothing influence.

that this force OF 100000 men could
be modified and concentrated to
meet such an attack and to check
the invasion for such time as might
be required to get the citizen sol
diery mustered and give them three
months trimming. by which time
they could be used to supplement
the regular army force.
The objection urged to the con-
tinental army plan Is that ii does
not meet the need of competent
force which could be quickly mob
ilixed. The federal militia which is
planned would be excellent for a
second line defense. but could not
be mustered quickly to meet an
emergency. saw the experts.

gress to urge the advantages OF

tenn, which would certainly be SUI
