city and claimed as its own,
George F, Bretz, who suffered
for few days only with that
dreaded disease, pneumonia.
Colonel Brett, was known by
everyone in the city, and was
by many of the country people,

advocate of the farming and
fruit growing industry, having
represented a nursery company
for many years. He was man
that loved his family with more
than the ordinary love. He was
a member of John G. Eve Post
G. A.. R. and Commander of
same, and a hard worker for its
advancement; he had served
through all the Offices of
that Post. He was a soldier of
the Civil War, and fought for
the flag that he so loved. He
was Junior Vice. Commander of
the state Organization of the G.
A. G. and was Aid De Camp
upon the Staff of the Adjutant
General of the United States.
He has been a member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church since
he was l3 years old, and left the
assurance that he was soon to
join the grand encampment in
that land where reunions never
adjourn.
Colonel Bretz, was born in
Cincinnati, Ohio. February 2S.
! 1886, and died on the End day of
April, 1916, being So years old.
He leaves a wife, two sons and
a daughter. and two step7sons.

friends to mourn their loss.

U. s. QUESTIONS BRITISH
NEUTRAL SHIPPING ORDER

Washington, May 25.-The United
States has inquired of Great Britain,
through Ambassador Page, to learn the
meaning of the British Admiralty no.
tice which specifies that neutral vessels
must obtain permission to take the
north route around the British Isles for
Scandinavian countries.
Officials here are unable to under
stand why neutral vessels should be
prohibited from any of the navigation
routes lying outside territorial waters.
The German and Austrian embassies
here are very much interested in the
outcome of the inquiry because they
believe it affects the rights of neutral
vessels on the high seas more than does
the German war zone proclamation.

TURKS Forced BY i. S.
AMBASSADOR TO REMOVE
BRTISHERS FROM FORTS

Athens, May %, via London, 11.5S
A. M.-Advices reaching here from
Constantinople by mail describe the
arrival in the Turkish capital of
thousands of wounded from the Dar-
danelles where the first Turkish army
corps, composed of the best fighting
elements in the country, has been en-
gagged.
In Constantinople there is short
age of petroleum, wood and coal. Bread
also is lacking and at the bakeries
people must take their turn.
When American Ambassador Nor
genthau protested to the Turkish au-
thorities against the sending of fifty
British and French subjects to be
placed in the Notifications of the Oar
danelles, measure destined to stop
the bombardment of the allies, Enver
Bey replied he must do something, as
the arrival of Turkish wounded from
the straits was creating deep impress
sion.
The ambassador energetic efforts
coupled with the British threat to
hold Enver Bey personally responsible,
resulted in the return of these men to
Constantinople within week. They
were accompanied to Gallipoli by Hoff-
man Philip, secretary of the Ameri-
can embassy.
The collier Vulcan, which has been
coaling the American cruiser Tennes-
see, is expected shortly at Dedeagatch
from Beirut, bringing the unit of the
American Red Cross Society which is
proceeding to Constantinople.

Committee Will Urge That ALI Mem
bers of Church of the Brethren
Who Profit By Cultivation of the
Weed Be Barred From Office

Is the raising of tobacco a sin 2 That
question is one which promises to pro-
woke much discussion at the annual
national conference of the Church of
the Brethren which opens week from
tomorrow in Hershey, and which will
bring through Harrisburg thousands of
Brethren, from all parts of the coun-
try. 1t is expected fully 10000 will
gather at the big tabernacle in Her
shey.
At the yearly gatherings of the
Brethren queries coming from local
congregations are presented for gem
eral discussion and final adjudication
and of this years questions none prom
ises to excite more spirited argument
than that dealing with the growing of
Tobacco.
In their aversion to what they term
"the things of the world,' some of
the members of the Church of the
Brethren have regarded unfavorably
the use of tobacco by those of their
number. The members of the Blue
River Church of Northern Indiana.
have now gone so far as to petition the
annual meeting "to prohibit members
OF our church from raising tobacco. -
The committee on resolutions, which
passes on all queries received, has re-
ferred this question to the Hershey
conference, attaching the following
statement as an expression of its own
views on the matter:
We advise all our members not
to raise tobacco, and decide that no
member that raises, sells, buys or
uses it, be permitted to exercise the
office OF deacon, minister or elder
Referred to the Conference
When the question is brought be-
fore the delegates, it will be argued
on both sides on the floor of the con.
vention. Many members of the church,
especially those from Lancaster coun
ty, are tobacco growers and are ex.
pected to defend their occupation.

T h a t Impression Is
Given Out Through
Kaiser's Subjects in
Washington
DELAY OF REPLY
is EXPLAINED
President Wilson Assumes That the
German Government Is For the Mo-
ment Absorbed With Circumstan-
ces of Italy's Entrance Into War

Washington, May 25.-President
Wilson told callers to-day he did not
know the causes for the delay of the
German reply to the American note on
the Lusitania, but he presumed the
German government was, for the mo-
ment, absorbed in the new circum-
stances arising out of Italy s entrance
into the war.
While Ambassador Gerard has sent
several messages bearing on what the
German reply may be, no direct inti-
nation had been received concerning
its contents and the American govern
ment is really uniformed.
The German embassy here, however,
has made suggestions to the German
foreign Office for the reply and in Ger
man quarters it is said the note win
be of a character to satisfy American
public opinion.
While declining to throw any light
on the shipping situation as between
Great Britain and the United States,
the President referred to it as a
chronic case.' 1t was learned that
he believed any formal note at this
time to Great Britain might be con-
strued as weakening of the American
governments position in its delicate
relations with Germany, but as soon as
the Berlin reply is received some action
may be expected
Pressure is constantly being brought
to bear, informally, however, on the
British foreign Office and admiralty
to amcliorate conditions with respect
to American cargoes and ships and if
not relieved shortly, general represen-
tations of broad character would not
be surprising.
