fremont was not too dull to havo

moments and then said:

"Yes, and the lady is very anxious

A very warm color flushed the
cheeks of the invalid. He remem-
oered all he had heard and all he had
known. He congratulated his friend
with sincere warmth. and after a few
moments said:

trians, enjoying to the full the repose
Of civilization. the beauty of his own
land.
Pitchoune looked with indifference
upon the many dogs. He did not stir
from his masters side. When Sabron
was quiet, the little animal stood at
attention; he was soldiers dog. He
could have told dog stories to those
insignificant worldly dogs = could
have told of really thrilling adven-
lures. His brown eyes were pathetic
with their appeal of affection as they
looked up at his beloved master. He
had fund of experience such as the
poodles and the terriers led by their
owners could not understand. There
fore Pitchoune was Indifferent to them.
Not one of those petted, ridiculous
house dogs could have run for miles
in the dark across an African desert,
oould have found Benz Medinet and
fetched relief to his master. Pitchoune
| was proud of it. He was very well
satisfied with his career. He was
still young; other deeds of valor per-
haps lay before him-who can tell?
At any rate he had been shown about
at the ministry of war, been very
much admired, and he was a proud
animal.
When Sabron spoke to him he leaped
upon him and wagged his tail. After
few moments. as the two stood near
the exit of an alice leading to one
of the grand avenues, Pitchoune slowly
went in front of his master and
toward two ladies sitting on a bench
in the gentle warmth Of the May sun

usual Indifference. gave short bark.

cheeks.

both hands to the officer:

Then his eyes Travelled to her COM

simple dress, as was her fashion, but
the young officer from Africa, who had
not seen her near by until now and
who had only caught glimpse of her
across the opera house. thought that
he had never seen such a beautiful
dress In all his life. It was made of
soft gray cloth and fitted her closely

German Ambassador to
u. S. Says Germany
Will Not Blockade if
British Are Good
GERMANY's PROPOSAL.

Washington, Feb. 15.-German Ambassador Won
Bernstor presented the state department with note
from Germany announcing that Germany stands ready
to consider receding from it's announced intention OF
attacking British merchantmen if Great Britain will
withdraw its efforts to prevent foodstus getting to
Germany for the civilian population.
The note declares Gernany's plan of attack on
British merchantmen is a retaliatory measure adopted
because of alleged violation of international law by
Great Britain in trying to starve the noncombatant
population of Germany. The latter government IS
ready to withdraw from its purpose expressed IN the
naval decree, far as it applies to merchant
vessels as Great Britain, either of her own
votion result of representations from neuras,
expresses willingness to return to the usual prac
tices of international law the question ffoodss
The German note adds Berlin is informed that
English merchantmen are being armed, and have ord
ers to sail in groups for protection. Further that they
will try to sink submarines.
1t is declared there is question of searching
them but the result will be that German ships will fight
them because they now held to be warships
Today's note it is pointed out, constitutes sort
of intermediary reply and possibly presented to
this because of the fact that the date when
the war zone decree will be effective, Feb Is is
close.

Rome. Feb. 15.--Italy. having just
passed through period of grave
anxiety as a result of destructive
earthquakes, is now facing new peril
In the form of floods. Everywhere
streams are out OF their banks, due to
heavy rainstorm which continued Sow
eral days.
In the low-lying quarters the people
have been driven from their homes or
are prisoners in the upper stories OF
their houses. The military authori-
ties have taken cognizance Of the
situation and troops have been sent to
aid in resuce work and to provide food
to the sufferers cut off from supplies.
In Rome the River Tiber is more
than fifty feet out of it's normal banks
and is rising at a rate of two inches
an hour.
The one bright spot in situation is
that the weather, early today showed
signs of clearing, and this is giving
hope that the waters will soon re-
cede.
Leonine City, as the vatican quarters
of Rome is called, is in the lower part
Of the town and this section is gener-
ally flooded. The water, however, has
not reached the Apostolic palace of St.
Peters.
Pope Benedict is taking a sym
pathetic interest in the situation and
has instructed all parish priests to dis
play the greatest energy in aiding
their distressed parishioners.
Information from the upper reaches
of the Tiber, late this afternoon, indi-
cate further rise in the flood water
of a few inches after which, unless
there is more rain. the waters will un-
doubtedly begin to go down.

American Ambassador to
Germany Does Not Believe
Two Countries Will Clash

The ambassador also is reported as
asking how such war could be waged
since neither belligerent could engage
the other effectively because of their
geographical positions, and as saving
that 1t would have to be an economic
war.
Asked by the interviewer concern
ing the attitude of German Americans,
Ambassador Gerard is reported in the
National Zeitung as having answered: |:
People in Germany are too readily
disposed to believe that German
Americans would be first Germans and
then Americans in case OF war. Ex-
actly opposite would be the case.
American citizens of German birth are
first and foremost Americans and the
same spirit is true of Irish -Ameri-
cans"
When asked concerning the sale of
weapons to the allied powers, the am
bassador called attention to the pro
vision of The Hague convention which
permitted this.
