Preliminary Replies Report
ed Sent to Three Protest.
ing Neutral Nations by
Berlin Foreign Office.
EXPLAINS ATTITUDE
Admiralty Hopes to Spare
Neutral Shipping But In
sists on Checking Eng
lands Starvation Policy.
az FREDERICK WERNER,

BERLIN, Via Amsterdam, Feb. TO-
Germany's expectation that neutral
countries would protest against the
proclamation of war zone around
the British Isles and along the French
coast has been amply fulfilled. Thus
far six countries, the United States.
Holland. Italy. Greece, Norway and
Denmark have made representations
through their ENJOYS here to the for.
eign office.
While these representations are In
effect protests, they are couched in
friendly terms and are to be answered
in the same manner. A preliminary
reply has already been sent to the
United States, Italy and Holland. the
International News Service was in.
formed at the foreign office today. and
Denmark, Greece and Norway will be
answered Immediately. Sweden has
thus far taken no action, but Is ex-
pected to do so.
England Blamed.
The replies made by the German
government place full responsibility
for the situation upon England. point
ing out that the action of that country
in cutting off the food supplies Of Ger
man civilians has forced Germany to
adopt retaliatory measures.
Assurances are given that Ger
many's naval forces will do everything
in their power to avoid injuring neu-
trail shipping. but it is asserted that
England's policy Of having its vessels
fly the flags of neutral countries en-
dangers the ships of those nations.
The German statement is full ex-
position Of the admiralty's attitude,
and it's desire to maintain the friendly
international relations now existing
between the empire and the neutral
countries, but it is also firm avowal
that this government will remain firm
in it's policy of exterminating Eng
lands merchant vessels as long as
England maintains it's policy Of "starv.
ing Germany
EngIand's Effort.
That England will attempt to en-
broil Germany and neutral nations is
the hint made in an official statement
issued by the German press bureau to-
day. 1t follows:
ut is believed in German shipping
circles that it will aid England's inter
ests If conflicts arise between Ger
many and neutral states. 1t is not i'm
probable therefore that neutral ships
will be purposely sunk by British sub
marines"

Thousands of head of artillery and

Henry G. Dickerson said that he
could remember the use of the bell
when the hotel was owned by l.. C.

from about 1856 to 1868.
An advertisement of the fremont

The old bell Is on exhibition at the
Engelbert Cigar store, and many of
the older residents of the city called
at the store today for the privilege of
ringing it. 1t is cracked In several
places, and has lost its tone. The
handle is unusually long and is worn
from long usage. Workmen discover
ed the bell in the walls behind some
old cupboards, where it has probably
been for rs years.

An old brass bell, corroded with
mold and rust, it's tone deadened by
years Of silence, but suggestive OF
events which happened in Richmond
more than fifty years ago. was dis
covered by workmen engaged in razing
the old fremont building yesterday.
For more than forty years after Its
erection by Charles Starr in 1888, this
building was used as hotel. Being
centrally located in the city, this
hostelry was very popular, and older
citizens often speak with pride of the
banQuets and social events held in the
old Starr House as it was first called,
and later on better known as the Ire
mont House.
From the time the hotel was started
1t was customary for the proprietor to
stand at the corner Of what was then

bell at the noon hour.

IN POLAND TAKEN
BY GERMAN FORCES
Successes Show Russian
Drive Toward Thorn
Checked and Cars Troops
Forced Back Into Poland.
BY FREDERICK WERNER.

BERLIN, Feb. 16-(By W1reless)-
The capture of Flock and Bielsk, two
towns of northern Poland on the right
bank of the Vistula river, by German
troops, is announced in an official re-
port from the German general staff is
sued here this afternoon. 1t states that
these two towns were taken after
short fight which resulted in the cap
ture of about 1000 prisoners. The re-
port also claims success on the east
Prussian frontier and in Flanders.
where the British efforts to retake
trenches lost near st. Eloi have failed.
The announcement of the capture of
Flock is the most important that has
been made since the news of the Rus
sian defeat in East Prussia. Flock is
less than so miles west-northwest of
Novogeorgivak, the great fortress
which protects Warsaw from the
northwest. Bielsk is a few miles
northeast of Plock. The German sue
cesses in this region show that the
Russian drive toward Thorn has been
completely checked and that the
Cars troops are being rapidly forced
back in northern Poland.

3 BIRTHDAY
AND NOlRS
April 26-Aice Cary.

In all the history of literature it would
be hard to find a nobler example Of filiai
devotion than is shown in the lives OF
Alice and Phoebe Cary. Alice, who was
born April 2s. 1890, was the elder of the
two sisters by four years. Although of
New England stock. their birthplace and
early home was Cincinnati. Their mother
having died in their infancy, they were
handicapped as children by an unsym-
pathetic stepmother. who deprived them
of candies SO that they had to use a
saucer of lard with piece Of cotton for
n wick in order to provide light to carry
on their nocturnal literary work.
When still a girl Phoebe Cary made
her name and fame as the author of the
celebrated hymn which begins with the
line Zone sweetly solemn thought" The
Cary sisters had worked together with
great enthusiasm. and later made a list
of the collection of books that they had
been limited to as girls. This list in
cluded the Bible. the hymn book, his
tory of the Jews. Lewis and Clark's Trav-
els. Pope's Essays and The Black Peni-
tent"
The Cary sisters were long residents of
New York. where they gathered around
them many of the most prominent and
brilliant literary folk of the day and car
ried on what has been called the nearest
achievement of a literary salon" ever
known in this country.
Among other prominent literary folk
born on April &c is Martha Finley. who.
under the name of Martha Farquahare.
wrote the celebrated Elsie Books"
known to children a generation ago.
