GERMANY MAKES
SERIOUS CHARGES
Published Embassy Statement Chai'
Isnges Honesty OF q. s. Officials
oDENwALD INCIDENT Is CAUSE
State Department Astounded by the
Publication OF Statement With
out First Presenting IL
20 u. 3.

Washington. April 7.-officiali
here we're astounded by the publ
cation by the German embassy oil
serious charges against the United
States government in connection
with the German steamship oden'
valid, which was forcibly prevented
from leaving San Juan. Porto Rico
without clearance papers. These
charges constitute a grave implica-
ton against the honesty, fairness
and neutrality OF the United States.
A surprising feature of the &C
ton of the German embassy was the
publication OF these charges before
the state department had had OPP
portunity to consider them and make
reply.
The only explanation suggested
for the extraordinary German state
ment was that It must have been
predicated on a belief in official
German quarters that the United
States is not honestly endeavoring
to be absolutely fair to German In
terests.
The embassy charges that the
Odenwald was twice searched by
customs officers at San Juan follow
ing It's request for clearance papers
for Hamburg, and that the results
we're satisfactory. Reports from San
Juan stated that American officials
were refused permission to make the
kind Of search desired and that a
custom officer was put off the Ger
man ship just as she started out OF
the harbor.
The embassy states that the oden-
valid was promised clearance papers.
Official reports received here indi-
cate that no such promise ever was
made, and Lieutenant Colonel Burn
ham, U. s. A., reported he person
ally had notified the commander of
the Odenwald three days before she
left that force would be used II nee
essary to prevent vessels leaving
without clearance.

DO THIS HRST-YOU!

You know, and every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether it be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis
eases, or even severe cold, a relapse
IS feared, because sickness robs the
system of Natures resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up worn-out
body-only food can do that, and the
first thing to take after any sickness is
the concentrated, blood making oil
food in SCOTS Emulsion, which feeds
the tissues, benefits the blood and
strengthens both lungs and throat.
Physicians prescribe SCOTS Emul-
.sionaftersickness. Nurseseverywhere
advocate it. SCOTS is pure medicinal
food, without alcohol or drugs.

last, and all the time. We all have
taken the oath to support and defend
the Constitution and can discuss
among ourselves matters that might
be out of place in the ordinary assoc
