TO FACE DANGER.
BY Justin McGrath.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Based
upon views obtained Thursday at the
state department and from high dip
lomatic authorities in both branches
of congress, i think il may be set
down as certain that the United
States government will not consider
the abandonent of it's commerce in
the North sea, despite the danger.
Opinion on this point, both at the
state department and among the lead
ers in congress appears to be decided
~ against any such proposal.
AT the state department the sug-
gestion was made that the United
States never tried the embargo policy
during a foreign war but once That
once the dissent of the people was so
great as to nearly precipitate serious
trouble in this country"
That was in 1892. No such pro-
posal, il was said, was likely TO re-
ceive serious consideration again.
Officials and the leaders in congress
apparently are convinced that public
opinion throughout the country would
be strongly against such a policy.
But as to what should be DONE
nobody seems to know. IL was said
that the conditions that must now be
met are without precedent and will
have TO be given very grave consid-
GRAFTON before course of action can
be decided upon.

NO RACE; FEED INSTEAD
Lady %. Has Game Leg SO Owner
Spreads Out the Feeds"

Although the question of the SUI
premacy OF Peggy Lee and Lady o.,
two local trotters. was not settled on
Thursday afternoon in the road race
which was scheduled. an equally inn
Portant question was decided when
the owner of Peggy Lee was awarded
the honor OF being the champion eater
of South Bend horsedOm. Rather
than risk letting his horse race with
lame leg. the owner OF Lady .. gave
chicken dinner 10 the bunch" at
which Peggy Lees driver made away
with the bigger part of the six chick
ems and accomplishments provided.
While the host at the banquet was
willing TO admit that his rival was the
champion eater. he still maintained
that he had the fastest trOtter, and II
is probable that the two horses will be
matched for contest in the near fu-
ture.

British May Help.
Much consideration was given on
Thursday to a report that Great Brit
ain would find herself Immediately
obliged. III view of the immovable
attitude disclosed by Germany in her
note Of Thursday, TO extend her naval
protection to American and other neu-
tral vessels at least within Great Brit
aims territorial waters.
II is known that France would be
willing TO undertake such protection
if her fleet were available. but it is
now PRACTICAL. all in the Mediter-
ranean. 1t was in fact buzzed about
in the state department that intima-
ton had come there, although not Of
ficially from Ambassador Page at
London that Great Britain would keep
an eye particularly on American ves-
sells inasmuch as it had been proved
that English vessels had already used
the flag as a deception to the Ger
man navy.
There was only one opinion am Ong
officials after the consideration of the
note and it's collateral issues Thurs lay
night. This was that neither Great
Britain nor Germany had given any
Official guarantee for the safeguarding
of American merchantmen in the Ger
mar war zone and that the United
States was therefore secretly puzzled
as to how that protection could be
furnished.
1t is that big question the cabinet
must address itself Friday and in de-
f-ult OF a solution the United States
must let American vessels continue

gers from submarines and mines in

note itself indicates clearly enough
that mines will be used and that even
convoy would be no protection
against that.

BAN ON LIQUOR.

SANTA ANNA Mex, Feb. l9.-Gen
Villa Thursday issued an executive
order prohibiting the sale of all liquor
in his territory with the exception Of
Juarez. This exception is made on

who come over the border from FL
Paso on Sundays when the saloons
are closed on the American side.
Villa saws he will punish with
death any one caught drinking or SELL

WASHINGTON. Feb. f9.-After an
alyticaI consideration Of Germanys
note TO the United States in reply to
her establishment OF and rights in the
war zone. officials at the white house
and at the state department Thursday
afternoon concluded that Germanys
reply IS friendly, clever, positive and
clear in all of its declarations.
The text of the note as given in the
press dispatches Thursday afternoon
was regarded by officials as anthem
tic.
Talks with state department Off
cials and navy department officials
show that this government has yet no
answer 10 the note and that any new
step" must be predicated on some con-
crct happening TO American lives or
shipping in the German war zone.
Admittedly the new feature of the
triangular negotiations as to the war
zone in Germans suggestion that
United States WaTships convoy Amer
lean merchantmen on the sole cOndi-
ton that the commercial vessels shall
not carry contra5and of war.
Suggestion Is Clever.
The essential cleverness of this sug-
gestiOn was apparent to the diplomatic
mind I'm some quarters az the state de-
partment Officials pointed out that
as cargoes such as those of the Will
helmina and any future cargOes of
lOOdstuffs are not cOntraband under
German policy, Germany would eX-
pcct under her convoy suggestion that
the United States navy would see to
Ii that foodstuffs are not interfered
with in transit TO neutral ports.
Germany OF course knows that
Great Britain has declared fOodstuffs
cOntraband of war and has told the
United States point blank that she
will seize any such cargOes.
II is believed from hints thrown out
by officials that the convoy PROPOSE
ION must DE considered by the cabinet
Friday because that suggestion Of
Germany must be answered.
