BRYAN TURNS DOWN
GERMAN CONTENTION
Denies Hydroaeroplanes Are War
Vessels and Glasses Them
As Aircraft

Washington, Feb. In reply to
Germanys recent protest against the
building OF hydrCaeroplanes by Am
erican manufacturers for England
and Russia, Secretary Bryan has in
formed Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, that the state
department does not concur in the
contention that such craft must be
regarded as vessels of war whose
delivery to belligerent states by neu-
trails should be stopped"
Secretary Bryan said:
'As to this assertion Of the char
acter OF hydroaeroplanes ! submit
the following comments: The fact
that hyrdoaeroplane is fltted with
apparatus to rise from and alight up
on the sea does not, In my opinion,
give 1t the character Of vessel any
more than the wheels attached to
an aeroplane, fitting 1t to rise from
and alight upon land, give the latter
the character Of land vehicle. Both
the hydroaeroplane and the aeroplane
are essentially aircraft; as an aid in
military operations they can only be
used in the air.
IN view of these facts | must dis
sent. from your excellency's assertion
that there is no doubt that hydroaero.
planes must be regarded as war yes
sells.
in this connection ! further call
to your excellency's attention that,
according to the latest advices re,
ceived by this department, the Ger.
balloons and flying machines in the
list of conditional contraband and
that In the imperial prize ordinance
drafted September 30, 1909, and is
sued in the Reichstag Gesetzblatt on
August 3, 1914, appear as conditional
contraband airships and flying mach.
ines (article %, section 81. 1t thus
appears that the imperial government
has PLACED and still retains aircraft
of all descriptions In the c'ass of
conditional contraband, for which no
special treatment involving neutral
duty is, so far as ! am advised, pro.
vided by any treaty to which the
United States is a signatory or ad.

GERMANS MAKE
HEAVY ATTACKS
Not Of First Importance But Losses
Are Very Serious Compared With
the Number Of Men Engaged

Paris Feb. 2.--The French war Of
fee this afternoon gave out a report
on the war which reads as follows:
THE day Of February was mark
ed by redoubled intensity in the ar
tillery fighting on our part as well
as that of the enemy and by series
" German attacks, Of relatively sec
ondary importance, all of whi:h we're
repulsed with serious losses for our
adversaries when compared to the
number of men they had engaged.
Violent cannonading
an Belgium the German heavy ar
tlllery gave evidence of its greatest
activity on the front of the Belgian
troops and particularly against the
various points of support which these
troops have been occupying for some
time past in the region OF the User.
Around Ypres the cannonading was
at some places exceedingly violent.
Between the Lys and the Somme
German regiment attacked Brit
ish position near Cuinchy, and at
first drove the English soldiers back.
After series OF counter attacks the
British troops re-occupied the ground
they had lost and then advanced in
to new territory, taking possession
Of trenches Of the enemy.
THE engagement reported In the
announcement given out the night Of
February 1, which took place along
the roadway between Bethune and
La Bassoe was particularly brilliant
for our infantry. 1t seems that the
Germans had at least one battalion
in this engagement. The first two
attacks were broken by our fire. The
third was successful in that the Ger
mans entered one Of our trenches,
but an immediate counter attack at
the point Of the bayonet resulted in
our overcoming the enemy. Only a
few Germans succeeded in regaining
their trenches; all the others were
killed or taken prisoner.
Between the CONNIE and the Disc
and along the front Of the Aisne,
there is no important development to
report with the exception OF Ger
man attack on Beaumont Hamel,
which was not renewed. Our heavy
artillery bombarded the railroad sta
ton at Noylon where the Germans
were reprovisioning their forces. Our
shells caused two explosions, the
smoke from which could be seen for
more than two hours and nalf.
French Methodical Progress
"Our methodical progress In the re-
gion of Perthes continues. We have
occupied another small forest to the
northwest Of this village.
an the Woevre district the enemy
delivered an attack on the western
side of the Bouchot forest, north
west Of Troyon which was at once
driven back.
There is nothing to report on the
front in Lorraine and in the Vosges.'

Ames Mead of the Womanis Peace Par
ty told the convention, depends wheth-
er we prepare for war and set the
pace for South America and Asia, or
whether we stand firm for peace and
let South America and Asia follow us.
She foresaw, she said, the world a
labyrinth of bread-lines if America
doesn't fight for peace until Europe's
blaze is quenched. She characterized
rifle practice as silly and declared that
Germany, even though victorious,
would have her vast territories neces-
sarily unguarded and open to attack
sooner or later from 350.000.000 re-
vengeful foes. She said no nation in
the world could effectively attack the
United States.

Editor the Missourian:-The City

which makes it misdemeanor to sell
or give away cigarettes or cigarette
papers within the limits of Columbia,
under penalty of not more than 800
fine, or 30 days Imprisonment, or

trust also will try unlimited ways and

tinue to advertise in papers that come
into this locality.
Few. however. will acquire the habit
SO easily as they did In the good old
days, when tobacco agents gave away
cigarettes on many public occasions
in order to get the young men started
to using the weed.

Where Shall We Put 1t?

Editor the Missourian: If Colum-
bia is to have new city hall the
question of a site will confront us
soon. 1t is a matter Of civic pride
and civic beauty. 1t should not be
located here, there or the other place
because some influential citizen or the
neighboring property owners want it
there, or because some lot can be OBJ
tanned cheaper than any other.
Columbians should have a larger
vision. They should think ahead,
should consider the time when Colum-
bia will have doubled in size. 1t is
not merely, Where shall we put the
city hall now?" but Where will Co
lumbians prefer to have their NUM-
cipal building ten, fifteen, twenty
years from nowT What is the city's
civic plan, that the location of this
building may conform to it?
Will it be the city's policy to locate
the new building in the best business
district, in an attractive, pleasing
portion of Columbia? Or will. we
purchase the poorer lots where the
ragged edge of the business district
meets the ragged edge of the north
side residence district? ST. Louis,
Des Moines and several other cities
have followed the latter plan when
they built their new buildings along
the river front, transforming the pest
holes Of the city into beautiful civic
centers, and replacing the shanties
and huts Of the foreign population with
handsome municipal and federal
structures.
For Columbia's city hall several
sites have been suggested. 1t may be
built opposite the present city hall, 1t
the corner of Walnut and Seventh,
where the livery district and the negro
district join. On this site it might,
with the courthouse, be the nucles of
civic center to replace some Of the
city's eyesores in years to come. But
it would be located In an extremely
unattractive portion Of the city. and 1t
would be many years before civic
center could be built up there

ner of Tenth and Cherry. These sites.
particularly the last. are in a more
desirable section of the city. Would
they not be more attractive as the be-
ginning of a civic center?
A definite plan for civic improve
ments and public buildings should be
selected, and the selections of the city
hall site should conform to this plan.
A city built on a haphazard plan can
be no more beautiful than a house de-
signed room at time, each without
reference to surroundings or other
rooms to be added in future years.
