No Objections to Purchase of German
Vessels Where Sales Are
Genuine.

LONDON. January THE reply of
Great Britain to the American note re-
garding interference with American
shipping, it is said in we'll informed
quarters, is wholly conciliatory and
shows a disposition on the part OF
England to do everything within rea-
son to avert delay to American ship

high and consequently loss of time is
costly to ship owners
England wishes to do everything in
its power consistent with the proper
safeguarding of the interests of the
allies to facilitate world trade and
stimulate commerce. paralyzed as it is
by war conditions. Consequently, it is
declared, there is no disposition on the
part of England to protest against the
purchase of German vessels by Ameri-
cans where the sales are genuine and
the ships are not used so as to avoid
what might reasonably be called the
consequences of belligerency.

SWISS APPROVE OF NOTE,
Think President Wilson's Protest in
Interest of All Neutrals.

BERN, Switzerland. via Paris, jan
uary 7.-President Wilson's note to
Great Britain concerning delays to
American commerce has been well
coined by the Swiss newspapers, which
in editorial comments express the
opinion that he is acting in the in
terests of all neutrals, and especially
Switzerland.
Hope is expressed that the Ameri-
can executives action will meet with
the fullest success. 1t is asserted that
1t is most important to Switzerland
that the American export trade be not
restricted. for Switzerland depends on
the United States for the greater part
of her supplies of wheat, corn, cotton.

LONDON, January 7, 12:45
p.m.-Neither Turkey nor Ger
many has conceded the defeat of
Turkish armies in the Caucasus,
as claimed officially in Petrograd.
AS further details of this fighting
are received in London it would
appear that the reported Turkish
disaster has been as complete as
that suffered by any forces since
the outbreak of the war.
In spite OF this, however, the
latest official communication from
Turkey altogether ignores the
fighting in the Caucasus and
dwells upon the struggle which
has spread over the Persian from
tier to Urumiah. an important
town. where thee Turks say that,
aided by Persians, they have de-
feated the Russians.
Lines in Poland Unchanged.
In Poland the Germans apparently
are no nearer Warsaw, and there is
little alteration in the battle front ex-
tending from the Baltic to the Car
pathians. The Russians seem to be still

Assurance That Would Satisfy.

An assurance that German ships pur-
chased by the United States govern
ment or it's citizens would engage in
the South American trade only proba-

would regard such use as a roundabout
means of escaping the effects of the
war.
AT any rate. objection is not likely to
come until ships are actually trans
ferred and their prospective use is
clearly indicated. 1t is probable that
the allies will take the position that
the sale money shall be held until the
close of the war as guarantee that it

PEARLS ARE FOUND IN NOSE AND TAIL
 OF SMALL TOY DOG
From the St. Louis Republic.

Y hOiii tAC Ot- 1Odh6 xb5VuUlO
 San Francisco, Cal.-A little toy dog. with a stubby tail and pointed nose. which would emit bark like a srunt when pressed. stood on tho table in the office of Justus wardell, surveyor of the port. surrounded by a collection of cul- tivated pearls. The tip of his tail wal missing. as was the end of his nose both of which had been cut away by custom inspectors.
 The dog was only ono of many clever contrivances used by Y. Nalxane wealthy pearl merchant of Tolkio, who was ar rested recently when he made declar- ation at the custom house, saying that he carried only $4oo worth of pearls An investigation of his baggage by Customs Inspector J. B. Brosman revealed pearls valued at more than 5000 and resulted in the Japanese confessing that he had at tempted to smuggle the pearls into the country Nakane arrived in San Fran cisco aboard the Tenyo Maru and de- clared to the customs inspector that he had 400 worth of pearls in a small jewel case. An examination of the case showed that 1t had a false bottom, and pearls valued at $i000 were revealed with the destruction of the case. This was the lrSL lOt to De QlSCOVefeQ. While the jewel case was being taken apart Nakane drew from his pocket dainty Japanese tobacco box and proceeded to roll cig- arctic.
 The beauty of the box attracted the attention of Wardell. who asked to see it at closer range. The box, when ex- amined, revealed another 5000 worth of the precious gems. Nakane removed his coat to assist in the work of unpack- ing his cases. Again Wardell was at tracted by the beauty of a silk vest, and made an examination and found that in the center of each of the buttons was set a small pearl. which was so near the color of the shell-like buttons that the gems could only be detected by an expert.
 In the bottom of one of the merchants trunks the inspector found a toy dog carefully wrapped in tissue paper. Ma kane explained that 1t was to be a gift to a child relative here An examination of the outside of the toy revealed noth- ing finally, the tip of the tall was re- moved with a pair of scissors and it was found to be filled with pearls. A like find was made in the dogs nose.
 Nakane then confessed that he had tried to smuggle the Jewels into this country. The gems were confiscated.
