: CENT POSTAGE TO GERMANY

% AEAI IUHA+A +AWA ~ NIhM a y q
WASHINGTON, Feb. Thereafter
It will cost five cents to send a letter
to Germany instead of two cents. This
was announced by the Postoffice De-
partment
1t was explained that Germany is a
party to an international agreement
under the terms of which when there
is direct sea connection between the
United States and Germany with no
intermediary country or connection
the rate should be two cents. Now it
is said that it is impossible to get a
letter direct into Germany and il
must pass through some other coun-
try and therefore the rate of live
cents will apply.
Other countries are applying the
terms of the agreement, as letters
posted in Germany with the regular
two cent rate are arriving in this
country with a stamp calling for a
collection of three cents additional.

an American liner, with her pas

That the United States will make
formal protest against the German
decree upon its receipt at Washington
is deemed certain here. Admiralty
officials professed confidence today
that neither America or any of the
other strong neutral powers would
respect what they called paper
blockade" of the British coast. In
some quarters. it was suggested that
the United States might join with
other neutral powers in a formal pro-
test to Germany.

IN MEMORIAM.
In sad but loving remembrance OF our be-
loved husband and father. Angus p. Calvin,
who departed this life one year ago today,
February o, 1914:
How long he struggled against disease,
That bafied skill and care
How long he fingered, racked with PAIN
And suffering hard 90 bear.
Hour by hour we saw him fade,
And slowly sink away.
Yet in our hearts we prayed
That he might longer stay
His willing hands are folded
His tolls on earth are done
His troubles are all ended
His heavenly crown is won.
Oft we wander 20 the graveyard.
Flowers 10 place with loving care,
On the grave Of our dear father
who so sweetly sleepeth there.
