shifting of ground, so as to indicate
the danger of neutrals as due to con-
tact with mines rather than deliber-
ately aimed torpedoes. But what this
re-assertion of purpose actually meant,
how our own government would re-
ceive it, and what chance there was
of an American merchant vessel be-
ing sunk by a German submarine
these were not easy guesses.
On the stock market this mood of
perplexity was reflected by an irregu-
lar and mostly fractional decline,
with extreme inactive business.

culture. Professor Cook will speak on
music, and surely no one is better
qualified, as he has taught 1t in opr
community all of his adult life. He
will be well worth hearing.
Arthur Kuse, Warsaw manager Of
the Keokuk Electric Co., welcomed
the High Tension club Monday evening
in a very pleasing and unique manner
by writing his welcome in verse and
having it thrown upon the screen at
Dreamland, just before The Man Be-
hind the Door" was shown. In the
same manner at its conclusion, his
invitation to the chicken pie supper
at the Hotel Grant was put on the
screen. Warsaw feels honored by
the visit Of these gentlemen-there
were eighty-five present-and it is to
be regretted that more of our citizens
did not meet them. We hope they will
come again.

Protect American Ships.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
BERLIN, (via Amsterdam) Feb. IS.
The German government declares
positively that it has instructed all
of it's submarine commanders to guard
neutral vessels and especially not to
attack these known to be United
States ships. 1t declares, however,
that inasmuch as England has ordered
its merchant marine to utilize neu-
trail cclors, the best plan for safety
would be for American warships to
escort American merchant vessels
through the British war zone. In this
connection, Germany offers to nego-
tate with the United States to decide
the best way that such a plan can be
carried out. 1t is also stated that IL
the United States can secure from

ernment's protest against the sugges-
ton that neutral ships, passengers
and crews might be sunk by German
submarines in English waters, was
received before the stock exchange
opened today. It's exact text was not
accessible to Wall street, however,
for several hours and when it was pos

was mostly bewilderment. Perhaps
the general feeling was. that the prev

10 Menace TO the
City.

Complaints that the Estes building
IN it's present condition is menace
to the business district OF the city
wera to be investigated this afternoon
by Commissioner OF Public Safety J.
A. M. Collins and Chief of the Fire
Department John Anderson. Atten-
ton to the condition of the building
was directed by the fire that started
in a room on the top floor at noon
yesterday.
The outcome OF the investigation
seems to be very doubtful. Mr.. Col
Inns himself admitted that it was a
hard proposition to handle and said
he did not know what action would
be taken If the complaints were found
to be based upon facts. He stated
that he had authority to compel the
owners OF the building to place it in
good condition or to close the build
ing The latter course could hardly
have any effect In reducing the FIRE
hazard.
Owned by An Estate.
The building is owned by the
Thompson estate, the income from
the building being used to pension
former employees of the Pennsylva-
mia Central railroad OF which Mr..
Thompson was president. 1t is under
stood the administrators of the estate
are anxious to avoid the expense Of
making any improvements on the
building.
The complaints made are to the eff
feet that in its present condition fire
could very easily be started in the
building and that If fire once got a
start 1t would be impossible for the
fire department to save the building
and very probable that the entire
block it. indeed. not the greater part
OF the business district of the city
would be wiped out while our poorly
equipped fire department would be
practically helpless. Chief Anderson
admitted yesterday that II q fire once
got good start in this building that
he had no hopes OF being able to save
any part OF the block,

A STRENUOUS TIME.

The death of John G. Mccullough, gov
ernor of Vermont 1902-04, recalls to ac-
tive participants the most strenuous polit-
ical campaign in the history of the state,
details of which viii never be found in
text books Mccullough, a man of great
wealth. was a legal resident of Benning-
ton. although maintaining home in New
York city. When he ran for the Republi-
can nomination for governor in 1902 he
was opposed by Percival w. Clement of
Rutland and the late Fletcher d. Proctor
of Proctor, afterward governor. Clement
made his campaign ON the issue of local
option against the prohibitory law which
had been in force in the state half a cen
fury. Clement failed to get the nomina-
ton. but he carried most of the large
towns of the state, and boiling the result
iof the convention ran as an independent,
fpolling 60 per cent OF the Democratic
| vote and 81 per cent of the Republican
ivote. Mccullough failed of election at
/ the. polls He had a plurality of 1862, but
lacked over 5000 votes Of a majority. The
election was thrown into the legislature
where he was chosen governor. Clement
Hailed to WIN the govcrnorship, but his
flight throughout the summer of 190-
forced the legislature to submit the loca
option issue to referendum, and it wa;
adopted by a majority of 1881 in tota
vote of over 10000.
The campaign of 1902 was marked b,
lavish expenditures of money and by con
iditions generally which will never be re
peated in this state. It was a strenuou
time in the caucuses, in the Republican
state convention, in the election in Sep
TENDER, and in the fight carried into
the legislature
Gen. Mccullough was man of fin
presence, and took great interest in rep
resenting Vermont as the states chief ex
ecutive. He will long be remembered 70
his kindly nature, his genialty and his be
neyolences He gave freely for Vernon
institutions, and Middlebury college i
particular Is indebted to him for a larg
endowment.

THE GERMAN REPLY.

The German reply is a fine piece of
studied evasion, 1t is an answer which
purposely does not answer. Germany Is
simply playing for time. The note in
vites a controversy over whether the
Lusitania was an auxiliary cruiser of the
British navy carrying ammunition and
mounting masked guns under deck.
The note advances the theory that the
rapid sinking of the Lusitania was pri-
marty due to an explosion of her cargo
Of ammunition caused by a torpedo The
reply beclouds the issue with apparent
intent to bring about misunderstanding
which will lead to extended exchanges of
diplomatic explanations and eventually
get nowhere.
This is not time to suggest to Presi-
dent Wilson what ought to be done; it
is not time to become impatient. 1t is
time for restraint. Nothing can be gained
now by playing upon the strings of excit-
able public opinion in America. The
President must find his way out, and
every true American must support him
loyalty
