IERMANS CLAIM A GREAT
VICTORY IN BATTLES IN
THE CHAMPAGNE DISTRICT
UNCLE SAM HAS NO REPLY
FOR BELLIGERENTS now

Washington. Feb. 22.-Thp United
States WIN probably make no reply for
the present at least to either the Brit
iSh or German notes, dealing respect
lively with the use of the American
flag on foreign vessels and the dangers
10 neutral shipping on the naval war
zone about the British Isles, hut will
stand firmly on its warning against de-
struction Of American lives or vessels
Many officials expect some further
move only In event Of AN overt act
This was indicated In high official
quarters after the official texts Of the
communications were read. Docu.
mcnts we're examined, however, to de-
terminc whether there Is anything I'M
any note which, IL not answered now,
might lie construed later as an admis.
sion.
The communication from England
was not regarded as answering the
original warning of the United States
on the measure Of responsibility to he
placed on England II any American
vessels were lost as the result Of the
general misuse of the American flag by
British vessels, although the reply was
reassurlng to officials.
The American government already.
It is pointed out, has pointed out the
liability Of the German government for
the loss of lives or prOerty. and this
warning was construed by officials to
he sufficiently broad to cover Ameri-
can citizens aboard neutral vessels.
Some thought the United States
having made its meaning clear to both
the United States and Great Britain,
should now remain quiet and observe
developments. Charges that Germany
has violated the rules of warfare are
of no concern to us. The action Of bel
ligerents does not, in the view of these
officials affect the status Of those rules
as between the United States and
Great Britain and Germany, with
whom this nation is ut peace.
Further correspondence with the
belligerents is opposed by the officials
on the grounds that the American gov
| crnment ought not to be driven into
lulNiltI 'lNNhNSl'Al VI Nht NAihA SO
Great Britain and Germany make
against each other.
There is II prosect however, that
the long British note bearing ON thu
Americas protest of December 90, pro
testing against the disturbance Of neu
trail shipping will bring forth a re
| joinder from the United States. Since
this protest the commerce Of the
| United States has received a mucl
better consideration at the hands n
Great Britain. The opinion prevails
among officials that the American not
| has had its desired effect.
The United States will enter into NJ
further correspondence on the subjec
of the steamer Wilhelmina bound 70
Germany with cargo Of food stun
and now held by the British prize cour
until the decision of the prize court i
announced. The decision is expected f.
| he made within reasonable length o
| time, and If in the opinion oflthis gov
eminent there is denial Of justice t.
the owners, there will be a protest.

BUzARDS MAY HAVE TO
HUNT SAFE QUARTERS

Tahhgssee. Feb. 10. Hon. A. s.
Wells senator OF Leon county has
draftq and prepared u bill to intro
duce | the next session Of the legisla-
ture. hitch conyenes In April, which
proposs to repeal the law which makes
1t p0alty and imposes line of 50
for Killing buzzard. In addition to
repeallk the statute for prohibiting
the killing Of buzzards, Mr.. Wells pro.
poses 70 40 still further aud allow
bounty u 20 cents head for every buz-
zard Killed In the state. IL Is proposed
that the heads of all buzzards killed
he brought into the clerk Of the court
or some other county official ut tue
court house, who will pay to the pep
sons Presenting the heads 20 cents
each. At the end OF the regular periods
this county official shall report to the
comptroller the number Of buzzards on
which he has paid the % cents, and
the amount paid therefor and the
ddmptroller shall then cause to h,
drawn warrant upon the state treas
urer relmbursing the county.
The idea of removing the statutory
prohibition for killing buzzards is con
sidered an excellent one, and will l.
Of inestimable value to the farmer
aud stock raisers Of the state, an,
now that the state Is going so lurgel!
into hog raising, this idea comes Il
most oppOrtune time.
1t is no longer question that tn,
bu2zzard is the greatest hog cholera
carrier eXtant. This fact is well illu.
trated by concrete example on tw
farms near this city. Notwithsmndin
the statutory prohibition, to protect hi
own interests, one farmer, probabl
the most successful hog raiser In I'll
county, has kept close watch, an
| every buzZard lie has seen near h
premises he has killed, not allowin
one TO light on his place. This farm,
has a dog trained to look out for Il
buzzards and every time one approach,
the place this dog gives the alarm. u
another farm adjoining the one abO,
mentioned, its owner did not obScr,
such close precautlon, and allowed Il
buzZardS to come into his pastul
where he kept his hogs. Practically g
cry hog he had In this field died Wi
cholera, while on the other place me
toned there was not a single hog
take the disease.

NEGOTIATIONS ARE AT
A SERIOUS STAGE.

Washington, Feb. 20. President
Wilson discussed at length yesterday
dangers to American vessels and pas
sengers growing out of the determi-
nation OF the German government tcI
wage a submarine and mine war on
vessels, disclalming responsibility for
what may happen to the neutral ves-
sci that may happen into the sea war
zone.
canvass later disclosed that the
administration regarded the develop
mcnts of the last few days OF grave
Importance. The cabinet members de.
clined To say what will he the course
Of the United States. Some pointed
out that in every serious situation I'M
international affairs much discretion
was vested in the president, and that
bis action necessarily will control the
policy Of the United States govern
ment.
The administration late last night
had not received the text OF the Ger.
man reply to the American note, anil
until it is received there will be mol
official announcement.
Informal discussion Of the reply as
published In the press indicated that
cabinet members were impressed with
the aspects Of the case. However, they
hold that while the situation was 20.
rious, there was indication Of German
Willingness to discuss the situate
further.
The fact that Germany had ordered
her navy to use discretion and care
when approaching ships flying neutral
flags was viewed as indicating that
the maximum Of vigilance probably
would he exercised 10y commanders of
submarines to distinguish between en-.
envy and neutral vessels.
ON the other hand however, the
notes declaration that Germany dis.
claimed AZ responsibility for what
might happen to neutral ships either
by submarine torpedoes or mines, pro,
| duced apprehension among Soms high
officials that critical point might ht
| preCipitated in the negotiations he
tween the United States and G=rma
| ny.
Officials referred, however, to The
/ probability that now there would ht
/ less cause for anxiety hail Germany
signed treaties as did Great Britain
France and Russia, to mediate any diff
fcrenccs between them. Tho hegotia
ton Of such a treaty was being dis
cussed when the outbreak OF the pres
ent war brought this procedure to ;
close for the moment.
Opinions varied as to what step
would be taken by the United State
when the text of the German reply Il
officially received,
Some of the Scandinavian cOuntrir
In their representations to Germany
1t Is said. have used the phrase "aC
i countability In the case Of damages o
