DERNBURG ASKS SAFE
CONDUCT FOR VOYAGE.
Requests United States to Use
Its Efforts.

Washington, May 17.-Dr. sDern-
burg, the kaiser's special representa-
tive in this country, desires to return
to Europe armed with a British safe
conduct for his voyage. 1t is very
much of an open question whether he
will get 1t or not
At the doctors request Ambassa-
dor Bernstorff took up the matter
with the state department informally
last week. He indicated that Dr. Dern-
burg would like to have the United
States government use its good ofii-
ces to secure for him safe conduct
for the sea voyage, from the British
embassy. The supposition seems to
have been that the state department
would be willing enough to do any
thing in its power to speed the Ger
man unofficial spokesman on his way.
The state department, however,
has not shown any alacrity about TAX
ing steps to secure for DR.. Dernburg
British safe conduct.
The department takes the view that
as DR.. Dernburg has never acknowl-
edged having any official connection
with the German government, he is
not entitled to claim any special con-
sideration at the hands of the British
government, nor from the United
States government either for that
matter. Consequently the state de-
partment does not intend to expose
itself to any embarrassment by ask
ing for favors for DR.. Dernburg which
the British may not feel like granting.

TANLAC'S HISORY
Is REAL ROMANCE
Premier Preparation Reaches
Stage of Popularity Un-
precedented.

Louisville Kentucky, May IS. 1915
The growth and development of Tanlac,
the new remedy being introduced in
Kentucky, is romance of the business
world. The amazing popularity which
this remedy has achieved within short
time is almost incredible 10 those not
actually familiar with the figures.
More than $50, 900 Kentuekians are
now taking Tanlac, although it was only
introduced in Lexington last October
and here in January. So great are the
demands for it that the laboratories al
Dayton O., where the remedy is prepar-
ed, must be enlarged.
These laboratories are now cabable OF
turning out s, 600 bottles of Tanlac daily
under normal conditions, 10000 under
the highest pressure consistent with the
great care used in the medicines pre-
paration. To meet the unexpectedly
large sales, it will be necessary to enlarge
the plant and TO increase the working
forces.
L. T. Cooper, the noted expert on
hygiene and hardly less philanthropist,
known here as "The Tanlac Man. was
himself surprised at the tremendous
popularity his remedy won in Kentucky.
he SAID recently, and the more gratified
al it because he is himself native Ken
tuckian. The medicine is being sold
now in all parts of the State. Mr.. Coop
er expected large sales, on account of
the record the medicine established in
East, but he was unprepared for the big
success here.
The ingredients of Tanlac are gather
ed from all parts of the world. One of
them, discovery by Mr., Cooper's uncle
on his Island)in the Pacific, has never
before been used in medicinal prepar-
alton They are taken to the laboratcr-
les in Dayton, and there compounded
with scrupulous care, SO that every bot
tie shall be uniform.
Tanlac is used, and has proved highly
beneficial, as hundreds of Kentuckians
shave testified in cases of catarrh, rheu-
matism. coughs and colds, malaria, liv-
er and kidney and stomach troubles,
and the after effects of pneumonia.

BIG ORDERS ARE CANCELLED
French Experience With American
Manufacturers Not Agreeable.

French Experiences With American
Manufacturers Not Agreeable.
Paris, May 17.-An unfortunate sit
uation has arisen with regard to
granting contracts to American manu-
facturers. owing to the failure of even
the big houses to deliver goods upon
sample. Several important American
contracts have been cancelled. Two
important cases in point were the de-
livery of monthly consignment of
$4,000 pairs of boots below sample
the soldiers tore the boots into strips
and of 100000 pairs of socks de-
livered and found to be of thirty per
cent wool and seventy per cent cot
ton. while the contract called for
seventy per cent wool and thirty per
cent cotton.
OF several of the large American
houses. with which the French gov
ernment is doing business, only one
has record of never falling below
sample. The worst deliveries are
those of boots, socks and underwear
The deliveries of cloth are much bet
ter.

IRANsYLVANlA NOT D0ckED
News of Ships AnxIousIy Awaited by
Friends of Passengers.

Frtends OF passengers.
New York, May 17.-No word of
the steamship Transylvania has been
received, either in London or at the
New York office OF the Anchor line.
A representative of the line said 1t
was not expected that any report of
the vessels movements would be
made until she arrives either at
Liverpool or Glasgow. In marine cir
cles, it was generally believed that
the Transylvania had taken the
course around the north of Ireland,
rather than pass through the south
ern lane in which the Lusitania was
torpedoed. Official information on
this point, however, was not obtain
able, owing to the strict secrecy Inn
posed by the British admiralty on all
orders issued to the steamship COM
pany.
Many Americans are on board the
Pennsylvania, which left here Friday,
May 7. Some anxiety has been felt
by their friends, pending news Of the
safe arrival of the vessel at Liverpool
or at Glasgow.
Another vessel in the war zone
bearing many Americans is the White
Star line steamship Adriatic, which
left Liverpool after being detained
there two days By order Of the adj
miralty. It Is believed she Is safe
from the German submarine menace

Toast to Laughter

Here's to laughter, the sunshine of
the soul, the happiness of the heart,
the leaven of the youth. the privilege
of purity, the echo of innocence, the
treasure of the humble, the wealth of
the poor, the~bead of the cup of pleas
ure; it dispels detection, banishes blues
and mangles melancholy; for it is The
foe OF woe. the.destroyer of depression,
the enemy of grief; it is what makes
kings envy peasants, plutocrats envy
the poor, the guilty envy the innocent:
it's The sheen on the silver of smiles.
the ripple on the waters delight; the
gilt OF the gold OF gladness: without it
humor would be dumb, wit would dis
appear and smiles would shrivel, for it's
glow of clean conscience, the choice of
pure soul, the birth. cry of mirth, the
swan-song of sadness.

service probably about July 1. The
reason for the change seems to be a
lack of agreement about the commits
sion's policy. Mr.. French said he has
not resigned, and DIR. H. S. Keller
said the reason for the change is that
the commission believes a native

The season of penance has arrived vet there has not been noticeable cessation of gayety On the contrary the weeks end was exceedingly lively despite the inclemency of the weather and affairs formal and informal on the social calendar announce numerous en- tertainments during the penifential period. With Ash Wednesday, how ever activities ceased for certain few members of the smart set whose pro- minence and popularity always make them sought after guests at all fash ionable gatherings. They will not con- tribute to the hapiness of the pleasure lover until after Lent and then there will be no cause for complaint for If Dame Rumor speaks truly the spring will surpass winter not only Tn num- Der but in the character of affairs. By far the most notable event of the year is scheduled for Easter week when the Country club will give it's annual play under the direction of Maitland Davies. As director of amateur attractions too much cannot be said in admiration of Nh. Davies work for his Brown of Harvard, Secret Service" and christopher Jr..' are well remembered successes. The pro- ductions were artistic in every detail for the director was associated with real" Broadway attractions too many years to be satisfied with anything me diocre As a member of one of his former amateur companies said, Tt really isn't all pleasure to rehearse day after day and to be called unmer- eifully' and while others agreed they were also forced to admit that it paid to be severe, sarcastic and everything else unpleasant for "amateurish' is never applied in the criticism of one of Mir Davies productions. The play, which will be given on the evenings of April ' and S, has not been definitely selected. but it will be a popular one not yet presented in Phoenix The cast will be well chosen of course and
