BUFFALO BILL COMING
Well Known FrOntiersman With Sells
FlOtO Circus.

Buffalo Bill is coming to town soon,
as the chief feature of the Sells-Floto
circus and Buffalo Bills Original Wild
West, which is to be here Monday,
June IA. And with Buffalo Bill will
come also many good story or the
older days in the West.
And if anyone should know those
days, Col William F. Cody, buffalo
Bid should know them. He lived them
long enough. Scout, plainsman, pony
express rider, brigadier general-he
served in every possible Office there
was in the younger days, even to the
position of justice of the peace and
the third man in more than one mar
riage.
Marriages he asked recently, in a
storytelling vein. "Of course. Why
not? I've shot 1njuns and guided troops
and blazed trails. Don't see why l
shouldn't perform marriage ceremon-
les. But I'll not forget the first one. l
was justice of the peace then, with
hardly anything to do but to look out
for boss stealers and bootleggers on
the reservation. One day a man and
a woman acme in and said they wanted
to get married. 1t flabbergasted me,
but l had to go through with it.
Looked all around the place and could
not find any Bible. Found an old third
reader though, and so I picked it up
and opened it to where it said some
thing about the birds twittering in the
springtime or something like that
Didn't make much difference though

'Jim,' said, do you take this wo-
man for your welded wife*'
'Betcher neck he said.
Maggie l asked, do you want
Jim to carry in the cordwood and hus-
tie vittles for you as long as you live?
'Yessir, Jedge Cody said Maggie.
Then kiss her, Jim. She's your
wife. Whom God and Buffalo Bill haiti
joined together let no man put asund

London, Feb. 1S.-Among the British
officers and soldiers to whom the Vic

Lance Corporal Michael Leary, Of the
Irish Guards, who, the official report
says, practically captured the enemy's
position by himself and prevented the

account, formed one of a storming party

London, FEB. 19.-An editorial in
"The Daily News" describes Germany's
reply TO the American note as curious
document Continuing, the editorial
says:

adopt tactics which violate the dictates

alike. England has driven her to this
she says, by cutting off her food sup
ply and supplies of raw material. The
simple fact is, England has not even
vet declared food contraband. while the
only raw materials which she stopped
from entering Germany are those when
have definitely a military use.
THE German indictment against the
United States has two counts-that the
American government has not COM
pelled the Allies to adopt naval policy
agreeable 10 Germany and has not pre-
vented American manufacturers ex-
rorting munitions of war to the Allies.
The reply which the American govern
ment can and presumably will make is

forbear to point out that all It's
efforts in this direction may be
rendered very difficult by two cir.

neutral flags by British merchant
vessels, which Is individually known

on neutral vessels.
The Use Of Neutral Flags
Regarding the latter point. Ger
many would fain hope that the
United States after further cons i'd
Grafton will come to q conclusion
corresponding to the spirit OF real
neutrality. Regarding the first point,
the secret order Of the British
Admiralty. recommending to Brit
ish merchant ships the use OF neu..
trail flags, has been communicated
by Germany TO the United States
and confirmed by communication
with the British Foreign Once,
which designates this procedure ~
entirely unobiectionable and in &C
cordance with British law. British
merchant shipping Immediately fol-
lowed this advice. as doubtless is
known to the American govern
ment from the incidents of the
Lusitania and the Laertes.
Moreover, the British govern
ment has supplied arms to Britich
merchant ships and instructed
them forcibly to resist German

In order to prevent in the surest
manner the consequences OF con-
fusion-though naturally not so
far as mines are concerned Ter
many recommends that the United
States make their ships which are
conveying peaceful cargoes through
the British war zone discernible by
means of conveys.
Germany believes II may act on
the supposition that only such
ships would be conveyed as carried
goods not regarded as Contraband
according to the British interpre-
tation made in the case or Ger

How this method Of convoy can
be carried out is a question con-
corning which Germany is ready TO

would urgently recommend 10 It's

Petrograd. Feb. 18.--As tho Russian
columns, now in their own territory
after their retreat from East Prussia,
are retiring more slowly, strong rein
forcements are being rushed from the
interior to aid them In checking the
German advance on the 200 mile front
across the Russian provinces Of Wilma
and Grodno. This front is far to the
northeast OF Warsaw and near the
railways leading to the Polish capital.
IN the Carpathians heavy lighting
continues, and the Russians, according
TO the Official reports, have repulSed all
the Austro- German attacks. In Buko-
wilma the Austrians, with their German
support, pushing across the country,
have occupied kolomea, in Galicla,
about sixteen miles north Of the Buko-
wilma frontier.
The Russians evacuated Czerowitz,
the capital of Bukowina, on the River
Pruth, early yesterday morning, ac-
cording to reliable unofficial dispatches.
The official report merely states that
the army has retired across the Pruth.
The official announcement from Vienna
announces the Austrian occupation OF
the town.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-02-19

The American government, as
Germany readily acknowledges,
has protested against the British
procedure. In spite Of these pro-
tests and protests from other
neutral states, Great Britain
could not be induced to de-
part from the course OF ac-
ton she had decided upon. Thus,
for instance, the American ship
Wilhelmina, recently was stopped
by the British, although her cargo
was destined solely for the Ger
man civil population, and according
TO the express declaration OF the
German government was to be en-
ployed only for this purpose.
Germany is as good as cut on
from her overseas supply by the
silent or protesting liberation OF
neutrals, not only in regard to
such goods as are absolute con-
traband, but also in regard to such
as, according to acknowledged Ia"
before the war, are only condl-
tional contraband, or not contra
band at all. Great Britain, on the
other hand, is with the liberation
of neutral governments not only
supplied with such goods as are
not contraband or only conditional
contraband, but with goods which
are regarded by Great Britain, II
sent to Germany, as absolute con-
traband; namely, provisions, in
dustrial raw materials, etc, and
even with goods which have al
ways individually been regarded as
absolute contraband.
Proofs OF Traffic in Arms.
The German government feels
itself obliged TO point out with the
greatest emphasis that traffic in
arms, estimated at many hundreds
Of millions, is being carried on
between American firms and Ger
many's enemies. Germany fully
comprehends that the practice OF
right and the liberation Of wrong
on the part Of neutrals are mat
tiers absolutely at the discretion
OF neutrals, and involve no formal
violation of neutrality. Germany,
therefore, did not complain of any
formal violation of neutrality, but

submarines. In these circum-
stances II would be very dIiiicult
for submarines TO recognize neu'
trail merchant ships, for search IN
most cases cannot be undertakeh'
seeing that in the case or a Cls-
guised British ship from when an
attack may be expected the search,,
ing party and the submarine would
be exposed TO destruction.
Great Britain, then, was IN a
positIon TO make the German meas
ures illusory if the British merchant
feet persisted in the misuse OF
neutral flags and neutral ships
could not otherwise be recognized
beyond doubt Germany, however
being in state OF necessity
wherein she was placed by VIOLA
ton of law. must render effective
her measures in all circumstances
in order thereby to compel her ad-
yersary to sdopt methods of war
fare corresponding with lnterna-
tional law. and SO TO restore the
freedom of the seas, OF which Ger
many ut all times is the defender
and for which she to-day IS hght-
ing. A..
Germany therefore rejolces that
the United States has made repre-
sensations to Great Britain CON
corning the illegal use of their
flag, and expresses the expectation
that this procedure will force Great
Britain to respect the American
flag in the future. In this eXpecta-
ton, commanders Of German sub
marines have been instructed. as
already mentioned in the note OF
February 4, to refrain from violent
action against American merchant
vessels so far as these can be rec
opnized.

TO SUPPRESS
IMPORTATION OF ARMS

Moreover, the German govern
ment is resolved to suppress with
all the means at its disposal the
importation Of war material to
Great Britain and her allies, and
she takes il for granted that neu-
trial governments, which so far
have taken no steps against the
traffic in arms with Germany's
enemies, will not oppose forclble
suppression by Germany Of this
trade.
Acting from this point of view,
the German Admiralty proclaimed
a naval war zone. whose limits 1t
exactly defined. Germany, so far
as possible, will seek to close this
war zone with mines, and will also
endeavor TO destroy hostile mer-
chant vessels in every other way.
While the German government, in
taking action based upon this over
powering point of view, keeps it.
self Ear removed from all inten-
tional destruction of neutral lives
and property, on the other hand il
does not fail 10 recognize that
from the action 20 be taken
against Great Britain dangers
arise which threaten all trade
within the war zone, without dis
tinction. This is natural result
Of mine warfare, which, even un-
der the strictest observance OF the
