UNITED STATES SENDS NOTES TO GERMANY AND GREAT BRITAIN
,continued from Page one)

would bring about serious complications.
 The United States has not fully ex- pressed itself on the German proclama- tion, however, confining itself for the definitely that such was fictitious present to an inquiry for more informa- tion The communication merely seeks to learn more definitely what hazards an American ship might be confronted with if passing through the newly prescribed sea zones, and what steps will be taken by the German navy to give unrestricted passage to American vessels travelling through these waters.
 Both notes are brief and friendly. Neith- CT makes a protest but each points out how recent developments may seriously embarrass neutral ships.
 Secretary Bryan declined to discuss either communication. but probably the text of both GOT a paraphrase will be made public as soon as the telegrams reach their respective destinations. The course of the American government has been more or less foretold by President Wilson, who has pointed out there is no international law against the use of a neutral flag by belligerent vessels, and the ruse is often resorted to in time of war. Nevertheless. it was regarded as proper in the circumstances to make rep resentations on the dangers to neutrals which might ensue from flag changes uuflnS voyage or d DelliSerent Stip.
 Reassurances Are Expected | Officials here generally expect that | Great Britain and Germany will reassure | the United States as to the safety of it's | vessels. None of the high officials antici- pated the development of any critical sit- | uation.
 | So far. it is understood. the United | States has not indicated it's course if any American citizens travelling aboard | belligerent vessels were lost in future encounters between German submarines and enemy merchant vessels. While the | existing rules of international law pro l vide that all passengers and crews on unarmed belligerent merchant vessels
 must be taken off before the ship can
 be sunk. this has been held to apply tC
 war vessels which are able to care foi passengers. The fact that submarine
 may endanger itself by approaching q beligerent merchantmen is considera'
 tion that may necessitate new rules by future international conferences.

THE NEWEST REMEDY FOR
BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM AND DROPSY

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid trou-
bles bring misery to many. When
the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently, and the poisons
are carried to all parts of the body.
There follow depression, aches and
pains, heaviness, drowsiness. irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obsti-
nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones.
When the uric acid affects the muscles
and joints it causes lumbago, rheuma-
tism, govt or sciatica. This is the time
to send DR.. Pierce, 1nvalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y, 10c for large trial pack
