AMERICAS ATTITUDE STATED
Note Germany Emphasizes Determination Of United
States to Uphold Neutral Rights Fixed by Inter
rational Law and Rules of Civilized Warfare-Free
dom Of the Seas Insisted Upon.

The government of the United
States, while not Indifferent to the
friendly spirit in which it is made,
cannot accept the suggestion of the
imperial German government that
G.rtain vessels be designated gand
agreed upon which shall be free on
The seas now Illegally prescribed. The
very agreement would, by implication,
subject other vessels to illegal attack
and would be "a curtailment and,
therefore, an abandonment of the
principles for which this government
contends and which in times Of calm
Ser counsels every nation would con-
scede as of course
The government of the United
States and the imperial German gov
ernment are contending for the same
great object, have long stood together
in urging the very principles upon
which the government Of the United
States now SO solemnly insists. They
are both eontending for the freedom
of the seas. The government of the
United States will continue to con-
tend for that freedom, from whatever
quarter violated, without compromise
and at any cost 1t invites the practi-
cal cooperation of the imperial
German government at this time when
may accomplish most and
this great common object be most
strikingly and effectively achieved.
The imperial German government
expresses the hope that this object
may be in some measure accomplish
ed, even before the present war ends.
1t can be. The government of the
United States not only feels obliged to
insist upon it, by whomsoever violated
or ignored, in the protection of its
own citizens, but is also deeply inter
ested in seeing II made practicable be-
tween the belligerents themselves, and
holds itself ready at any time to act
as the common friend who may be
privileged to suggest a way.
In the meantime, the very value
which this government sets upon the
long and unbroken friendship be-
tween the people and government Of
the United States and the people and
government Of the German nation
impels it to press very solemnly upon
the imperial German government the
necessity forra scruplalQus observance
Of neutral rights in THIS critical mat
ter. Friendship itself prompts it to
say to the imperial German govern
ment that the repetition by the COM
manders of German naval vessels of
acts in contravention of those rights
must be regarded by the government
of the United States, when they af-
feet American citizens, as deliberate
" unfriendly.

Travelling Mans Experience.

very severe attack of cholera morbus
Two physicians worked over me from
a .. m. to 6 p. m. without giving ne
any relief and then told me they did
not expect me to live; that had best

doing SO, / gave the hotel porter nifty
cents and told him to buy me bot
tie of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, and take no
substitute. l took a double dose ac-
cording to the directions and went to
sleep after the second dose. At 5

LAST GAME OF THE SEASON

The armory will be the scene of one
more holly contested basketball game
Friday, February 10Th, when the local
high school team will meet the Gold
en- Valley warriors in the last game
of the schedule. The Beach boys are
coming to redeem their lost honors.
They have some fast players on the
team and if working right should put
up one of the best games seen here
this season. .
Reports have it that Beach will be
a contender in the tournament at Bis
marck next week. The Golden Valley
team has not met Bismarck this year
so it is not known just what chance
they have should they meet Bismarck
the first night. The team from Mott
is also reported to be on hand for a
chance at district honors. Nothing is
known Of this team as they have not
met any of the teams on the main line
of the N. P. Although they have won
their games south, just what they will
do in fast company is not known.
The Dickinson boys will take up
practice with a vim the coming week
now that it is almost certain that they
will attend the tournament. They
will play a different game from what
they did when they met Bismarck two
