THRESHER CASE
May BE- TAKEN
TO GERMANY

Washington, April 2.--Reports that
an Americaan life had been lost In the
war zone around the British Isles were
brought Officially to the attention of
the Washington government late yes
terday when Ambassador Page and
Consul General Skinner at London
cabled that Leon G. Thresher, an Am
erican mining man. was supposed TO
have been drowned when the British
liner Falaha PAS DESTROYED by Ger
mar gslbmaf5 49,.
The reports merely transmitted un-
official statements and instructions
were sent Immediately to both officials
to begin an investigation and report
promptly. No action will be taken by
the government until this official ver-
sion Of .Thresher's death has been re-
ceived and all the facts surrounding
the destruction of the Falaba have
been carefully scrutinized.
A representative of the company
which has employed Thresher, saw
him aboard the liner before she sailed.
That is as far as official information
goes, and Ambassador Page or Mr..
Skinner. now will undertake to get
statements from survivors of the
evidence that the American was
drowned.
No inquiries from relatives or
friends of Thresher in this country
have reached the state department and
until today the case had not come to
the attention of officials except through
press dispatches.
Oficials had little doubt that the
case eventually would form the subject
or representations to Germany. In its
note after Germany's war zone pro-
clamation, the Washington govern
ment notified the German foreign office
that it would feel compelled to hold
that government to 'strict accounta-
bility" for the loss OF American lives
or property through the operations of
submarines against British merchant
shipping.

Oil I reatlnent for
Stomach Troubles

A simple prescription made up of a
combination of pure vegetable oils is
producing wonderful results for suf-
ferers from stomach, liver and intestinal
troubles. The remedy, which is said
to have originated in France, where it
has been used for years by the peasantry,
was introduced into this country by
George H. Mayr, leading Chicago
druggist, who cured himself of severe
stomach, liver and intestinal troubles by
its use. Those who have used it say the
first dose is sufficient to convince any
one of its remarkable merit, and that
within twenty-four hours the sufferer
feels like new person. This medicine,
which has become known as Mayr's
Wonderful Remedy, is sold by leading
druggists everywhere with the positive
understanding that your money will be
refunded without question or bubble if
ONE bottle fails to give you absolute
satisfaction.
