DEMANDS
HUMANE WARFARE
PRESIDENT CALLS ON GERMANY
TO PUT AN END TO LAW.
LESS NAVAL WAR.
Declares That Submarines Cannot be
Used Against Merchantmen With
out Violation OF the Principles OF
Justice and Humanity.

Washington. President Wilson's
note to Germany, forwarded Thurs
day night by Secretary Bryan, has
brought the United States to the
brink of var with Germany, in the
opinion OF some OF the best authori-
ties on international law in Wash
ington.
The president. after stating that
the United states government has
observed with growing concern, dis
tress and a~mazement" the recent acts
Of German authorities I'm violation of
American rights on the high seas,
which eliminated In the sinking of
the British steamship Lusitania, by
which w 100 Americans lost their
lives, declares:
"Manifestly, submarines cannot be
used against merchantmen, as the
last few weeks have shown, without
an inevitable violation Of many ga
cred principles of justice and human
ity." and therefore, "the imperial
German government will not expect
the government OF the United States
to omit any word or any act neces
sary to the performance of its sacred
duty OF maintaining the rights of the
United States and its citizens and OF
safeguarding their free exercise and
enjoyment"
International authorities Of high
repute hold that the presidents con-
tention that Germany has violated the
rules of international law by the meth
on merchant vessels is impregnable.
The illustration used by one high
authority IA
"A new method or of war
fare cannot change the rules Of inter-
national law any more than the inven-
ton of a new weapon could change the
law against murder"
There being no question about the
positiveness of the stand taken by
this government. intense interest was
manifested In Washington on the
probable position which would be taken
by Germany in response to the Ameri-
can demands.
A high German authority expressed
the opinion that Germany will not
grant the right OF the United States
to ask for a guarantee that there will
be no further attacks by submarines
on merchant ships carrying non-com-
batants.
Germany, IL was said, probably
would make every possible concession
In the direction OF giving non-combat-
ants time and opportunity to get into
the lifeboats before t%orpedoing any
merchantmen, whether neutral or bel
ligeren;.
To ask Germany to give a guaran-
tee that there will be no further at
tacks by submarines on merchant
ships carrying non-combatants. in the
opinion OF the German authority,
would be to admit the right OF inter
ference between two belligerents.

REASONS FOR ABSTINENCE.

It's hard to be a physical adviser
and keep of the subject OF alcoholic
liquors when you realize that there
never can be anything like a high
average OF physical well-being in a
country where a large part of the
male population insists on poisoning
itself regularly or periodically. / will
simply sum up a few of the son
strictly from the standpoint Of the
physical trainer--why men should not
drink alcohol.
Alcohol is not a food; 1t is a drug.
II Injuries the blood.
II retards the digestion.
1t is the worst enemy OF the brain
worker.
II hardens the liver.
II destroys the kidneys.
1t furnishes no support to the body.
IL Is a depressant.
1t Is a most destructive agent in the
state Of health or OF disease.
II deadens the body and the senses.
1t affects the mental and moral side
of nature.
Alcohol users show death rate of 20
per cent greater than nonusers.

REVIEW OF FLEET
HELD ON HUDSON
PRESIDENT CALLS BATTLESHiPS
ENGINES TO PROMOTE IN.
TERESTS OF HUMANITY.
Says Inspiring Thing About America
Is That She Asks Nothing for Her
self Except What She Has
Right TO Ask for Humanity.

New York.-President Wilson-the
are turned because OF the interna.
tional situation-on Monday reviewed
the Atlantic fleet In the Hudson river.
and at a luncheon rendered TO him OF
shore by the city of New York told a
distinguished gathering of navy off.
GERS, army officers and civilians what
the country and its navy stood for.
The great battleships hat lay In the
river, he said, were engines to pro.
mote the interests of humanity"
The inspiring thing about Ameri-
ca" the president asserted, lis that
she asks nothing for herself except
what she has a right to ask for hui
manity herself. We want no nations
property; we wish to question no ma
tons honor; we wish to stand sell
fshly in the way OF the development
OF no nation. II Is not preten-
sion on our part to say that we are
privileged to stand for what every ma
tion would like to stand for, and
speaking for those things which all
humanity must DESIRE
THE spirit which brooded over the
river today" said the president,
was just a solemn evidence that the
force OF America is the force of moral
principle, that there Is not anything
else she loves and that there is not
anything else for which she will con-
tend"
The president took occasion In his
speech to pay tribute to Secretary of
the Navy Daniels, who sat beside him.

BEER CONDEMNED.

After twenty-five years of practice
DIR. s. s. Lungren, a leading physician
and surgeon, has this to say about
beer: ut Is difficult to find any part
in the confirmed beer drinkers ma
chinery that is doing its work as II
should. This is why their life cords
snap Off like glass rods when disease
or accident gives them a little blow.
Beer drinking shortens life. This is
not a mere opinion; 1t is a we'll
settled. recognized fact. Physicians
and insurance companies accept this
as unquestionably as any other undis-
puted fact of science. The great Eng
lish physicians decide that the hearts
action Is increased 13 per cent In it's
efforts to throw off alcohol introduced
into the circulation. The result is
easily figured cut. The natural pulse
beat is 76 per minute. II we multiply
this by so an hour, and "a hours in a
day, and add IL per cent, we find that
the heart has been compelled to do
an extra work during that time in
throwing of the burden OF a few
drinks equal TO 1876 tons lifted one foot
high.

MARINES TO ASSIST
THEIR COUNTRYMEN
CRUISERS ORDERED TO ASSIST
AMERICANS ATTACKED BY
INDIANS IN YAQuI VALLEY.
II Is Expected That Americans In the
Interior Who May be In Danger
viii Find Their Way to Coast
and Board Ship.

MISUNDERSTANDING Daniels has
ordered the cruiser New Orleans from
Manzanillo to Guaymas, Mexico, to
join the cruiser Raleigh in rendering
any relief possible to the colony of
Americans attacked by Indians in the
Yaqui valley. 125 miles inland.
Unofficial advices from Mexico
stated that Governor Maytorena, the
Villa commander in Sonora, already
had dispatched a considerable body of
troops to the scene and It is hoped
that their arrival will have relieved
the colonists before the New Orleans
reaches Guaymas.
Secretary Daniels said he had in.
structed Admiral Howard, command
ing the Pacific fleet, to make an in.
v~estigation and report on the condi-
tons in the Yaqui valley on the basis
OF the press reports that several
Americans had been killed there.
Under general naval rules, the COM
manders of the Raleigh and the New
Oarleans would not hesitate to land
~bluejackets and marines at any port
for the protection of Americans or
other foreigners in an emergency. The
secretary said, however, that no orders
for sending an armed party inland
would be given by the department un.
til Admiral Howard had reported the
necessity of such action.
At present the w%arships are sem to
Guaymas in the expectation that any
Americans in the interior who may be
In danger will find their way to the
coast. where they may be taken
aboard ship.

DERNsuRe TO LEAVE COUNTRY.
Official Spokesman for German Cause
TO Return to Germany.

Washington.-Dr. Bernhard Dern-
burg, former German colonial secre-
tary and known as unofficial spokes.
mar In this country for the German
cause, has voluntarily decided to
leave the United States, in view of the
critical turn In the relations between
this country and Germany.
The action OF DIR. Dernburg will re.
lieve the president of an embarrass-
ing situation, for it is known that he
strongly disapproved Of Or. Dern.
burg's u%tterances justifying the sink
ing OF the Lusitania and officials con
sidered examining the statutes Of the
United States to determine what legal
methods might be invoked to end DR..
Dernburg's activities.

THE PRIME CAUSE.

Chicago's recently appointed NOR,

the saloon. There can be no inves-
tigation into auses OF vice and dis
ease which will not show that the
liquor traffic does more than anything
else to produce and foster all phases
of immortality.
