KAISER WARNS
NEUTRAL VESSELS AGAINST EN-
TERlNG WAR AREA AROUND
THE BRITISH ISLES.
ADDS TO HIS ORIGINAL NOTE
Ships Entering English Coast Waters
After Feb. 1s do so at Own Risk
as Germany Declares She
Is Going the Limit.

The Hague.-The German legation
again has warned neutral vessels
against entering the war ares around
the British isles, as defined by the
German admiralty, and to the original
note adds the following:
Blames British.
"Since Germany, following the ex-
ample of Great Britain, declared as a
war zone on and after February Is
English and Irish waters, the British
have declared all the ports of England
war ports and have justified the use
of neutral flags on merchant vessels.
Moreover, according to a reliable
source, a great number of British mer-
chantmen have been armed in order
to destroy German submarines by
shells or by ramming them. Thereby,
these ships lose their character as
merchant ships and become war ves-
sells.
Germany, therefore, is again obliged
urgently to warn all neutral ships
against entering English coast wat
ers after February 1S, as from that
date the German admiralty will prose-
cute the war with all means at it's dis
posal against British war ports and
British armed merchant ships.
Neutrals Take Risks.
Neutral vessels which are then
still within the war zone will run the
same risks as if they pursued a
course through sea battle between
England and Germany, of which the
date and place could not have been
known, and will bring risks upon them.
selves for which Germany can not
take the responsibility.
"The route around the north of
Scotland, owing to the depth of the
waters, can not be endangered by
mines. There, as we'll as in the wat.
ers of the North sea, with the excep'
ton of British waters and German bay
neutral shipping will not be endang'
cred by the measures the British ad'
miralty is adopting"
Berlin Surprised at U. s. Tone.
Berlin.-The German foreign office
after studying the American note re
specting the declaration by Germany
of a war zone in the waters around
Great Britain and Ireland, states that
the terms are much friendlier thar
previously had been expected by rea
son of the incomplete newspaper dis
patches published here.
The foreign office had not anticipat
ed that the United States would accept
the German position without objec
lions, and it eve recognized that from
the American standpoint certain o
the positions raised are quite justified
Germany, however, it is declared
intends to adhere to its own viewpoint
Various officials, diplomats, naval ant
military, whose opinions have beer
sought profess to see no elements o
danger in the situation and are con
WINGED that the naval campaign car
be conducted on the lines laid dowI
in the admiralty proclamation withou
involving difficulties between tht
United States and Germany.

A stranger, on an eastbound train, Sat blowing verbal bubbles, Rejoicing he was free again
 From Arizona troubles His gall was great, at his command A most expansive diction; No note of love for this fair land Relieved his flowing fiction. We heard his every reckless word With just a slight abhorrence, And half surmised he was a bird, New flown, perhaps, from Florence. He said. All Arizona law
 Is futile, ill -begotten; The state officials men of straw, The legislature rotten; And Phoenix, too, is out and lost With no assuring savior, The city dads, though great their

Recurring to the state, he vowed The farming and the mining Are paltry fakes, a dismal cloud Without a silver lining. When all his missiles had been

 In language. chaste and graphic. thousand men, and women, too, Declare their lives seraph1c- spent under Arizona skies Among perpetual roses. But to the prudent and the wise Some later day discloses That there are troubles to be met In this peculiar heaven, Before the stakes are rightly set To make the balance even. To all we say: Avoid extremes. Be diligent in trying Tc get ahead, but work your schemes Without recourse to lying. From all the data now in hand, To use at my discretion, It almost seems the facts demand Another "extra session."
