ITS TEXT IS NOT GIVEN OUT

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-A
favorable rcply by Germany to the
last American note on submarine
warfare is indicated in today's State
department adTces from Berlin.
The advices came from Ambassa-
dor Gerard and we're notably the first
OF a definite nature received since
the American note reached the Ger
man foreign office. The exact ma
ture of the ambassadors message
was not divulged and It did not be-
come known whether he revealed any
indication OF the trend of the forth
coming German reply. The ambassa-
doris dispatch was of sufficient de-
tail. however, to put officials in an
optimistic attitude. II was commu-
nicated at once to President Wilson
at the summer White House at Cor
n'sh, n. II.
0erhnrd's Message Effective.
Ambsssador~eSerard based his observa-
tons on the favorable effect which the
visit OF Or. Anton Meyer-Gerhard.
emissary OF Count Won Bernstorff. the
German ambassador here. had produced
on officials OF the German government.
DR.. Gerhard was understood by Am
bassador Gerard 10 have reported that
public opinion in the United states had
been growing more and more favorable
to Germany when the sinking OF the
Lusltania undld what had been accom-
pished. Gerhard made Il clear also that
the United States did not want war. but
wanted a satisfactory reply to its
representation.
German officials are eager, according
TO Ambassador Gerard's report, to give
such an answer. but they have made II
clear that Germany cannot make any con-
cessions which would destroy the effec-
uveness of the submarine. The German

officials here cannot conjecture, but since
Germany seems to be willing to aafe-
guard the rights Of Americans on ships
primarily engaged In passenger traffic
an adherence to the principles expressed
In the American note that non-combat-
ants should be immune from attack
would seem in the opinion OF officials
here TO be reconized.
No information had been received on
what the attitude OF Germany would be
toward assuming liability for tho loss
of American lives on the Lusitania. but
he feeling prevails that II a satisfactory
can be made as to the
'uture conduct OF submarines towards
vessels carrying Americans. Germany

Interview With
Pope Is Invention,
Writes Secretary

ROME, June 2S.-CVia Paris.)-An in
terview published in the Corriere dptalia
this morning with Cardinal Pietro Gas
Parri. the papal secretary Of state, dis
crssed the interview obtained last week
of the Paris La Liberte, with Pope Bene-
dict. The secretary of state says,
m. Latapie invented entirely many
grave assertions. You must remember
that phrase insulated from the context
cannot reproduce faithfully thought,
or, what is worse, 1t gives a meaning
entirely false.
For instance, take the quotations re-
gsrding hostages In Berlin What con-
fusion! The pontiff is made TO mix the
Jews of Galcia. the Austrian priests OF
Cremona and the Belgian prelates. all
OF which. according to NJ. Latapie. was
covered IN the sllocution of January %.
with regard to the Jews It was in
Rarch that Austria Hungary sent pro-
test to the Holy See The protest was
not mentioned, as the vatican could not
condemn Russia on the sole affirmation
OF Austria Hungary.
The pope was informed that Italy had
taken some parish priests of the towns
occupied as hostages, but the bishop OF
Cremona informed him that they were
treated with every regard. Indeed the
pontiff furnishes them with funds for
The pope knows all this per-
'ectly. How then could he put them in
8 category with the Belgian and French
hostages or with the Jews OF Russia?
with regard TO General Won Bissing,
the German governor OF Belgium. neither
the holy father nor secretary OF state
ever received a letter or a commrnica-
tion from him directly or Indirectly.
THUS the pope could not refer to such
letter, and he did not. The letter was
born OF the fervid imagination Of NJ.
Latapie."

WASHINGTON. June 2s.-A total OF
5000 900 In tolls was collected for the use
of the Panama canal during the period
from the opening Of the water way up

PETRoGRAD, June 2S.-CVia
London. .)-Officers of the Russian
general staff now state that they
have satisfactorily achieved the re-
grouping of their forces necessitated
by the German Galician campaign
and that they stand ready effectively
to oppose a further advance of the
Austro-German forces in Galicia or
in southern Russia.
The Gnila Lipa river, to which the
Russian forces have retired, flows
south from above Rohatyn and pro-
vides admirable facilities for defense.
Fifteen miles further eastward the
Zlota Lipa, paralleling the Gnila
Epa, the Russians believe, would
offer even a stronger obstacle to the
enemy, since it is supported with
good railroad line.
The most important point OF the pres
ent front Is that portion of the Vistula,
Just north of the river San. Here the
Germans are attempting to force the
river and flank the Russian positions
along the Tanew, which have success
fully resisted frontal attacks.
The wooded approach to the river here
allows the Germans to conceal their bat
teries. but up to Saturday no real advan-
tage had been gained by the Germans
The importance of this move is we'll
recognized by the Russians since, II sue
cessful, it would unite the German forces
on both sides of the Vistula with those
on the Tanew front.
German activity appears to DO limited
at present to the Dniester and Vistula
rivers. In the region of Lemberg no
serious fighting has been reported.

Beauty of Dining Room
Aided By Crystalware
Suggestion to Homemakers In Ar
ranging Set On Side Table

A side table properly set in the din
ing room adds to the rooms attract
iyeness. Many people mar the appear
ance of room by loading down the
table with too much ware. Often a
dining room side table is made to look
like a counter in the store on a bar
gain sale day Most women possess or
should possess a matched water set.
Such a set makes the side table an
OBJECT of admiration when the glasses
and pitcher are prettily arranged.
A good idea, especially for the wom-
an who entertains or who seeks to
make home beautiful for her own
family. is to embroider centerpiece
upon which to set the pitcher and a
small dolly for each tumbler.
Venetian gold-trimmed crystalware
is the best for display of this kind
and to have ones own initial on each
piece is the height of fashion and re-
finement Such a set is now provided
for readers by this paper and may be
secured at merely nominal expense by

about the first thing l did when |
moved to birmingham last week was to
look up the drug store selling Taniac,"
said W. D. Rogers, who now resides
at 1921 Fourth avenue. Mr. Rogers came

81 really was not in any shape TO go
to work." continued Mr.. Rogers, as
had suffered a long time with bad
form of stomach trouble. l was all run
down, had little or no energy and
could neither eat nor sleep. What little
! did eat 1 simply forced down to keep
up my strength and that, too, vert
against me and / suffered nearly all
the time with Indigestion. Always aft
er eating l would have an uncomforta-
BILE feeling that would last for hours.
Nothing l took for this trouble seemed
to do me any good.
q never knew what it was to get a
good nights sleep and I would toss ard
tumble upon the bed all night long ana
get up in the mornings feeling as bad
az upon going to bed the night before,
but it is different now. When ] get up
in the mornings / feel refreshed and
ready for work.

table and everything lasts right. I al
ways sleep fine, something / could not
do before | took Tanlac. In fact, this
Tanlac has made me into a new man.
j not only feel stronger and better in
every way but have actually gained
eight pounds in weight. l am bso-
lutely positive about this because 1
weighed only the other day and know
what / am talking about. My nerves
are stronger now and no longer nave
that drowsy feeling like 1 use to have.
My head seems clear and l can once
more take interest in what is going on
Il first heard of Tanlac in Chatta-
nooga and bought my first bottle from
the Live and Let Live Drug store 1t
helped me so much that / knew | was
on the right track and when l came
here l got me a bottle the first thing
and expect to keep on taking it.
There are thousands of men and
women in just the same condition as
Mr.. Nelson" said Mr.. G. F. Willis. the
southern distributor of Tanlac. This
1s especially true" continued Mr.. Willis,
"of men and women whose business
forces them to remain indoors and who
fail to get the proper kind of exer
else. Such people soon develop improper
digestion the blood becomes impure,
the system is filled with Impurities and
they suffer from nervousness, loss OF
appetite headaches and sleeplessness.
According to the statement of thou
sands of those who have actually tested
1t, Tanlac goes straight to the seat OF
the trouble, invigorating every organ
of the body and in brief, it results in
a complete rehabilitation of the nerves
and physical condition of the patient. >
Tanlac is sold in Birmingham by
