KAISER CALLS CONFERENCE
Situation in Russian Poland Subject
of Discussion.

London, Feb. 12.-The situation in
the eastern arena of the fighting is
occupying the attention of the mill
tary authorities in Berlin in very
large degree, If reliance may be placed
on news dispatches reaching London
from the continent. According to
these Emperor William returned hur-
theater and at once held a prolonged
military conference. summoning for
this purpose General Won Moltke,
Count Won Aulenberg, General Won
Kessel and many other well known
leaders.
According to the correspondents OF
certain neutral Danish newspapers
Emperor William finds the situation
generally hopeful, but he is describ-
ed as greatly depressed over the ter.
rible price in men Germany has had
to pay for comparatively limited ad-
vances against the intrenched Rus
SLAMS. One account reaching Paris
by way OF Warsaw places the German
losses on the Bzura and the Rawka
fronts at $4,000 dead. This report is
absolutely without confirmation and
IL has not even been repeated from
any other source.
In the Carpathians 1t is evident
that both sides find the fighting
among snow-covered passes, with only
the most precarious connection with
their sources of supplies. warfare
In which the results gained are very
dearly purchased.

America Protests to
Be||igerents.
DISPLEASED BY USE
OF FLAG BY BR|TONS
Also Warns Germany Against
Destruction Of Our Ships.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The United
States has warned Great Britain and
Germany, respectively, that general
use of the American flag by British
vessels will be viewed with grave
concern here and the destruction by
Germany of any American vessel In
the newly prescribed war zone will
lead to serious complications
1t has become known that the text
OF the two notes sent TO Great Britain
and Germany expressed much more
emphatically than had been generally
known the displeasure of the United
States at the use OF neutral flags by
British merchantmen and its solicit
tude over the implication that neutral
vessels are liable to destruction by
German submarines In the waters
around Great Britain and ireland.
In the document which has been
transmitted to Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin for presentation TO the Ger
man foreign office there is a friendly
hut pointed statement that American
vessels should have free and unre.
stricted passage through the high
seas and unblockaded waters and that
destruction of an American vessel
might lead to a change in the hither-
to friendly relations which have ex-
listed between the United States and
Germany.
Viewed With Anxiety.
While in the note to Great Britain
the representations made are not
based on the Lusitania incident, but
on the statement of the British for
eign office justifying the use of neu.
tral flags by its vessels, the United
States has stated unequivocally. it is
understood. that n continuance OF the
practice would be highly dangerous
TO neutral vessels and would be view.
ed with the deepest anxiety here.
No joint representations with the
United States on the same subjects
have been made by any of the neu-
trails though the various foreign Of
fees, though their ministers here
have consulted the American govern
ment as to its attitude.
II was declared unlikely in official
quarters that the use of the Ameri-
can flag by the Lusitania or the Or
duna will be selected for the subject
of protest or diplomatic correspond
ence. The American government,
however, in it's note denies the right
Of q general use of the American flag,

the one or two incidents which have
occurred might have been justified

 THE SKIM How many uses has the skin? Tn. how many ways does it contribute to your life. health and happiness?
 Rather hard to answer those two questions without giving the matter some thought, isn't it? In the first place let us put protection. Just let a little bit of the skin get knock. ed off the body or a. limb or even 3. finger and it seems as if everything that comes will just manage to touch that spot and nurse it: It protects us an many ways. There are thou sands and hundreds. of thousands of little holes through it and although our bodies are made up largely of water, yet when in normal health these little holes automatically close up tight and keep the water. in un- less we get too warm and when they let out just enough moisture to help us keep cool.
 Tn addition to protection the skin can properly be called a respiratory organ It is an organs of excretion also and throws off vast quantities of poisonous and waste matter It is an organ of absorption and it sometimes becomes necessary to use this func- tion to prevent starvation. It is an organ of sensation and conveys to the brain ideas through the sense of touch Through this means the blind and the deaf are enabled to know things otherwise impossible for them to know. The sense of touch or feeling is probably one of the. most iraportant of the five senses.
 That brings up another subject. the sixth sense. i'd you know that you have a sixth sense and that it is just as important as any of the five that. you have been told about since you were a. chi1d2 We'll, you have a sixth sense and 1t can be paralyzed by strong drink or by blow or other injury just as surely as can the sense of seeing, feeling, smelling, tasting or hearing It is the sense of qufIi- brium and is located back of and in. side the ears, a little place filled with
 liquid, somewhat on. the order of the spirit level used by builders. A blow back of the ear shatters the ground. A blow on some other part of the head disturbs it and he stag gers t Alcohol disturbS it and the drunken man staggers and falls.
 Wonderful discoveries and inven- tions appear fE these days, the most recent and most wonderful being Professor Sees discovery of the true reason and law of gravitation which gives a practical working knowledge of how we are able to hear a mans voice, although. he is thousands of miles away, how we can see through the wall of building and fly through the air. When the observations and discoveries of Professor See have been perfected we may be able to suspend the laws of gravitation and thus, by getting off the earth in a flying ma chine, let it revolve for 12 hours and then aHght on the other side.
