And try TO be happy and cheerful

the daughter Of Victor Hugo" So far IS known to
the world she never told what tragic thing had
to her. never recovered her complete sanity made
friends received visitors and when her parents died
she lived alone She lived all the long weary silent
years until death IS released her, always eontem
plating her dark and bitter thoughts, thoughts Of
young girls life suddenly and forever turned black.
Japan comes up smiling and bland every time and
reiterates that she has quarrel with America,
with the world, least Of all with China and doesn't
want Chinese territory All Japan wants and insists
on is the benefit Of her tremendous advantage in
China geographically, sympatheticay, racally Japan
is already first IN influence in the vast territories Of

GERMAN CHANCELLOR
 ATTACKS ENGLAND
Scores "HagnanImouS Appeals" for
 Civilization and Humanity.

Berlin Jan. 25., via London 2:15 D. ceived by England's "magna nim ous appeals in the name of civilization and humanity, said Dr. Theobald Von BethmannH Hollweg. the German inn perial chancellor, after reviewing methods of warfare which he said had been adopted by Great Britain and her allies. The chancellor's statement was made a representative of the Associated Press at the German army field headquarters in a town in northern France. The chancellor and the foreign minister, Gottlieb Won Jagow, were seated in a villa which serves as the office and dwelling for themselves and for the members of the diplomatic suite accompanying Emperor William afield
 The correspondent sought to obtain the views of the chancellor and foreign minister on AngloAmerican relations. with particular reference to British interference with American shipping. No official information had been received concerning the contents of the British reply to the American
 
 willing to discuss the British state ment in detail. One section of the note, as given in newspaper de- spatches. made a particular impress sion, however, on the chancellor. It was the paragraph in which Great Britain indicated that she had been acting on the principle that foodstuffs were conditional contraband and that England had not interfered with shipments of foodstuffs not intended for the armed forces of an enemy or for a hostile government. In this connection the chancellor pointed out that no shipments of grain or other provisions had reached Germany from America during the war.
 German ChanCcIlor's Statement.
 The chancellor then made the fol- lowing statement:
 T shall not comment on the British note of January :, as far facts and questions concerning trade are con cerned. Sir Edward Grey howev r, considered il appropriate to add two statements intended to carry weight far beyond the scope of ;l?is particular interchange Dt notes. I mean the paragra ph whcruin he speaks of leav-
 
 shipments of food supplies not intend ed for the enemy':' armies or govern ment and his siurs uECn us, stating that we had abandoned the rules of civilization anti humanity
 Ut should not be forgotten that In this war England set out to starvc over 65,000,000 people; directly, by cutting off their food: indirectly by closing arteries of their commerce. In attempting this she did not refrain from destroying a considerable part of the trade of neutral nations. Now it is beginning to dawn on Great Britain that she cannot force us to submission by these methods
 Nagnanimity Never Existed.
 Sir Edward Grey inserted the sen tences in question in order that the reply might stand as document which would show EnSlaEd's mag

NOURNED HUSBAUD AS DEAD.
But Captain Oswald Later ReJo'neo
 Wife and Both Came to America.

New York, Jan. 25.-Mrs. James Mckay Oswald, who was Miss Davina McRoberts, of St. Paul, Minn., now the wife of Capt. Oswald, Of the Sev- enth Scotch Royal Fusiliers, reached New York today on the steamship Cameronia wearing mourning for her husband, who stood at her side as the steamship docked. She had not had time to purchase other gar ments before the Cameronia left Glas- gov, where she had been wearing black because her husbands name had been listed as among the dead in the trenches in France.
 Capt Oswald was only wounded, however. When he had recovered he went to Dundee, where he had left his bride, and found that she had left and mourning him as dead, was a bout to sail home on the Cameronia. He hurr$ed to Glasgow and reached there only a short time before the ship sailed.
