WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. To-
The German ambassador presented a
note to the state department in which
Germany reiterates its request that
neutral shipping avoid the war zone
about England and take track
around North Scotland zone, a decree
called measure of retaliation against
England.

it would be out Of the question to

England was ready to recognize the

10 BILLION DOLLARS

LONDON, Feb. 15.-Lloyd George,
chancellor of the exchequer, stated in
the house of commons today that the
allies thus far had appropriated sfO,-

in response to requests for informa-

He said that England was probably

either Russia or France. He added
there was no danger of the resources
of England or any of the allies being
exhausted in the near future.
In the speech he declared: ENG

PROMINENT MOVIE MAN IN CITY

Harrish Ingraham, journalist, seem
ario writer, movie actor, business man
and all around good fellow has arriv-
ed to take charge of the Durango
Film Producing company and will di-
rect operations so that Durango will
become what it deserves to be, the
heart of great movie empire.
Mr.. Ingraham has had an impor-
for a decade. He has seen the bust
ness develop from the crude form Of
entertainment of the early days of
the century to the leading place in
the amusement world it holds today.
He recognizes that it is not pass
ing fancy that has temporary hold
on the public, but standardized in
dustry that offers the best invest
ment to the conservative business men
and one that will bring unprecedent-
ed prosperity to the country where
the films are produced.
In Durango and the surrounding
country he finds a wealth of the ma
terial that the moving picture Glen
tele demands-scenic beauty, scores
of places of the greatest historic in
terest, the primitive, the modern, the
romantic, indeed everything that holds
the interest of the movie fans the
world over.
A contract with the Alliance peo-
pie assures the best market for the
complete output of the Durango Film
company production.
Work on the studio at Trimble
Springs will begin during the week
and as soon as the structure is COM
pleted, one of the foremost troupes
of the country will come this way to
produce photoplays in the splendid
setting the section affords.

BITTER FEELING AGAINST
u. s. is INCREASING

BERLIN, Feb. 16.-The American
government, the press and the public
apparently do not realize the depth
of bitterness spreading in Germany
against Americans. With the German
press publishing dispatches tending
to show that the Americans are aid
ing the allies more and more, and re-
printing dispatches from English pa
pers, indicating extreme hostility to-
wards Germany.
People here are being worked up
to point difficult to exaggerate. Of
ficials and Americans here cannot dis
guise tseir fears that some incident
will occur that will lead to a crisis.
Wounded from charges and German
losses are becoming greater since the
French are using American manufac-
tured arms. People of Bavaria and
elsewhere refuse to buy American ag-
ricultural implements.
The following are samples Of the
statements of the things being pub
lished:
The Berliner Zeitung printed a
pamphlet charging that it was pre-
pared by Roosevelt, urging America
to join the allies. The Tageblatt re-
prints dispatch in an English pa
per which says that American Off
GERS are resigning from the army and
applying for naturalization in Eng
land so as to be eligible for commits
sions in the American brigade being
formed.
Americans are no longer wearing
the tiny flags in their button-h holes,
which were so noticeable at the begin
ming of the war. The position of Am
bassador Gerard is delicate, he being
the focus of German criticism.
