DIFFERS IN SOME y,
 OF PHRASEOLOGY
Official and Unofficial Text of German
 Reply to American Note on Submarine Warfare,

Washington, June I.-State de- partment officials compared yesterday the official text as made public in the press dispatches. "Tne text of the official dispatch differs in some of the phraseology,' it was explained, "but there is no difference whatever in the sense conveyed"
 The difference is attributed to the fact that the official and unofficial translations were made by different persons, with resulting unavoidable differences in the English wording.
 One of the differences in transla- tion between the official and unofficial texts of the note ocsvcurs in the para graph alleging that the Lusitania was armed. The unofficial text read:
 "The Lusitania, too, according to information received here. had can non aboard, which were mounted and concealed below decks
 f The official text reads:
 According to reports at hand here, the Lusitania, when she left New York, undoubtedly had guns on board. which were mounted under decks and masked"
 State department officials said this was the principal difference in text noted.

CONSTIPATION OR COMFORT?

There can be neither comfort nor good health where constipation exists. Most people suffer from this cause at intervals, many are chronic victims.
 The old-time remedies for this very common complaint are nauseating doses of some powerful purgatives that leave the condition worse than before.
 In the new laxative, Pinklets, is pre- sented q dainty, sugar-coated granule, that is free from unpleasant eF>cts, does not upset the stomach nor grire but sim ply gives nature the needed distance. Once use Pinkiets and you will never re- turn to salts, oil and harsh purgatives.
 Write the Dr. Williams Mea.cine Go, Schenectady, N. Y., for free sample, or get full-size 25-cent bottle of Pinklets from your own druggist.

BRITISH VIEW OF
 GERMANY'S REPLY
Believe Kaiser Is Playing for
 Time With United States {

London, June 1. 1:50 A. Mn their comment on Athe German reply to the United States governments s
 note, the morning papers take the view that Germany is seeking to gain time by involving the United States in a diplomatic controversy. They contend that almost all the allega- tions made in Germany's derense are false. '..3
 The Daily Mail'' considers that a situation of real gravity mas urisen be- tween Germany and the United States. "Germany's reply" says the Daily Mail,"f shows a complete failure to understand the temper of the Ameri- can people, or to meet the American case. more sneering or contempt uous reply or f1atter refusal to take the American government seriously could hardy be imagined. Unless we greatly mistake, President Wilson is not the man to tolerate the sophistries with which the sages of Wilhelm- strasse seek to avoid giving plain answer to his plain question"
 Grounds 'Mere Impcrtincnce.''
 The Daily News. in an editorial, says that the grounds on which Ger many seeks to justify the sinking of the Lusitania are mere imperti- nence" and, like other newspapers. declares that the case or the steamer Megantic proves the allegation that the Lusitania was carrying troops or munitions had nothing whatever to do with her being sunk.
 The Morning Post" in an editorial, iSy to give advice to the United States in such case as this, and that if the United States is driven into the war. it will not be by the arguments of the belligerents but by the course of evcents. 1# K Now Up to Wilson,
 Proceeding to deny that the Lusi- tania could be regarded as cruiser, declaring that she had not been taken over by the admiralty, the Morning Pest argues that it has not been established that she had munitions of war aboard But even if she had, the newspaper continues, that would not have Justified the sinking of the Lus:- tania, but only in seizing her as a prize for examination. The newspa- per says in conclusion that the Ger man reply entirely fails to meet the case and that it remains for President Wilson to take the next step.
 Neither the Times or the Daily Tel egraph comments editorially on Ger many's note.
