herman Ambassador Is Kindly Rebuked for His
 Criticism of U. $.
poTITELY TOLD TO Y MIND HIS BUSINESS
rhe Count Is Expected to Accept the lRebuke in Humble Spirit-If He
 Doesn't, Diplomats Expect He'll Be Invited to Leave.

Washington. April 21.-Secretary bryan today sent to the German en- kassy the reply of the United States koyernment to the much-discussed of Count von Bernstorff,
 which the ambassador harshly criti- Sized the character and lmpartiallty Ii American neutrality.
 The German ambassador is inform kd that the issues between the Unit q States and Great Britain growing Inf of British interfef ence with Amer Fan trade, "are hardly appropriate br discussion between the govern, hent of the United States and the gov Srnment of Germany"
 Count von Bernstorff is further tol( hat the language of his memorandum X susceptible of being construed a! mpugning the good faith of the Unit d states in the performance of its uty as neutral"
 He is told that the United States has kot at any time yielded any of its lights as neutral.
 The ambassadors contention tha he failure of the United states t( ,ohibit the exportation of arms was knfair to Germany is met with the declaration that an "embargo in th' vade in arms at the present time rould be a direct violation of the neu rality of the United States"
 The view taken of the United State: eply in diplomatic circles is that it 1:
 kindly worded. but very decided re- luke to the ambassador.
 Count von Bernstorfr is expected tt hke the rebuke in the spirit it is iven, and not repeat his offense o uestioning the good faith of the Unit Id States. ,
 If he does repeat it, the expecta lon in diplomatic and official circles
 that he will be given his passports Therefore, his decision as to his fu lure attitude will be awaited witt great interest.

BARNES WANTED HIS
 BIG GRAFT LET ALONE
Pleaded With Roosevelt to Refrain from Recommending Establishment of State Printing Plant-ROGsevelt
 Spends Day on Stand.
(By James J.. Montague.)

Syracuse, N. Y., April 21.-At the conclusion of his direct testimony in the, Barnes libel suit today, Theodore Roosevelt staged one of those politi- cal bomb explosions of which he was an acknowledged master.
 The bomb was in the form of letter which was placed under the chair of MT. Barnes, and Roosevelt's lawyers, at his direction, lighted the fuse. The letter follows:
 "The Journal company, publishers.
 Albany, N. Y. Dec. P. 1S99-Dear Governor: It is rumored that you contemplate in your message advis- ing the establishment of state printing house. l write you this let ter because presume that your mes sage will be matter discussed be- tween you and your friends tomor- row. It is not my desire to intrude nv personal matters upon you, but l wish merely to state the fact that the establishme of state, printing house here would be a serious, if not a fatal, blow to me financially, "Very truly yours,
 "WM. M. BARNES, JR." Honorable Theodore Roosevelt,
 "Care Douglas Robinson, Esq.
 Madison Avenue. N. Y." Mr. Roosevelt was governor when the foregoing letter was written. MT. Barnes, as MT. Roosevelt's counsel next proceeded to show, ac- ouired IS months later, 750 of the 5000 shares Of the J. B. Lyon com pany. which he relinquised in 1912 at the time the Payne investigation committee was seeking to prove he was a partner in the company. The Lyon company does all the state printing.
 :. Willing to Discuss It. By way of reply to this, the hardest jolt MT. Barnes has yet re- I ceived at the hands of the colonel. the Albany editors lawyers produced the following reply:

 "Hon. Wm. Barnes, Jr., the Journ- al company, Albany N. Y.
 "My dear MT. Earnest showed your letter of the 22nd inst. to Sena- ltor Platt. I would like to see you about it as soon as possible. There (1S a cllcCI COuCSh' U1o Ol opAA'OA' that there should be state printing l office. Sincerely yourss

 The idea of this reply, which thu colonels lawyers failed to produce was that Governor Roosevelt, fal from seeing anything out of the way in Barnes pitifiul plea. propose' calmly to talk it over with him in stead of indulging in expressions o horror that such thing could be.
 But Roosevelt promptly countere' hy proving he had proceeded to urge the bill, eve nat the cost of strikini a, serious. if not fatal blow at MT Barnes. This savage blow at Barnes came at the end of the day, in whicl Roosevelt had become himself again

French Estimate That Germans Have Lost 5000 or 4,OOO Men There Since Saturday--kaiser Gains in
 La Pretre Woods.

Petrograd. April 2l.-Apparentiy the Russians everywhere have suspended the offensive until the spring floods subside. and conditions are more fay orabe for maneuvering.
 In the Carpathians, their activity will for some time be restricted to the fortification and extension of the new positions they have occupied. At present the chief center of the conflict is along the Stryjc- -Mnnkacs road. which forms the pivot of the Russian forward movement In futile attacks along this route, the enemy has suffered immense casualties. They many times exceed those borne by the cZar's armies. Altogether the losses of the Austrians and Germans during the last attempt to roil back the wave of the Russian invasion must have amounted to several hundred thousand men.

"WeIl, say!" said Maggie. 81 wish

''Wen, I'm going to resign" de-

The girls waited. Exactly at the
noon hour Lizzie emerged, bright
crimson, by the side of Simmonds,
whose arm was drawn through hers.
Down the aisle they walked, Lizzie
crimsoning still more as all eyes were
turned on her. So they went into the

afternoon careless of the black looks
of all around her. She was living over
that delicious hour again. Mr. Sim
monds certainly was gentleman,
even if he was old. And somehow,
George and the trousseau had be-
gun to acquire a secondary impor-
lance in her mind.
Before they left Simmonds had
asked for her address. He had hint
ed that possibly visitor might call
in taxi for her some evening when
she least expected it. That was all
he had said. But that night, when
the reaction had come, the girl faced

seriously than she had ever faced

The next day she left her rooming

Her salary was already SO a week.

Then one day familiar figure en-
tered. He was an old gentleman with
a fringe of white beard and he was
accompanied by a very motherly
looking old lady. They came slowly
up to the perfumery counter. Sim
