NOTES TO ALL BELLIGERENTS
REQUESTS to Subscribe to Declaration
of Principles of Naval Warfare
Sent to Powers.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Identical
notes have been sent to all the belli-
gerent countries, Secretary Of State
Robert Lansing says, in which the vari-
Gus countries have been asked whether
they were willing to subscribe to a
declaration of principles governing at
tacks on merchant ships and forbid
ding the arming of such vessels.
Government officials said that favor
able responses would clinch the prin.
ciples of submarine warfare, for which
the United States has long contended.

Striking Phrases
on Preparedness

America is forced-whether she
will or no-in the decades Immediate
ly ahead Of US, to furnish the world
with it's chief economic guidance and
assistance.
eve can no longer be provincial
nation.
LET no man say If he would speak
the truth that the question Of per-
lection of national defense is a ques-
ton of war or peace.
There is something the American
people love better than they love
peace. They love the principles upon
which their political life is founded.
They will at no time seek contest,
but they will at no time cravenly avoid
it. Because if there is one thing that
every nation ought to fight for it is
the integrity Of it's own convictions.
We will not surrender our convictions,
l would rather surrender territory
than surrender those ideals which are
the staff of life for the soul itself
"If we should go into Mexico do
you know what would happen? Ali
the sympathy Of the rest o. America
would look across the water and not
northward to the great Republic
which we profess to represent.
more than a year ago | said this
question Of military preparedness was
not pressing subject. But more than
year has gone since then and |
would be ashamed if l did not learn
something in IA months.
81 don't know anything about what
is going to happen when the war is
over, and neither do you.
America never will be the aggres-
sor; America always will seek to the
last point at which her honor is in
volved to avoid the things which dis
turb the peace of the world.
but America does not control the
circumstances of the world and we
must be ready to defend the things
we love against every contingency
which may acct or impair them"

JEWS CONDITION APPALLING
American Relief Committee Reports
100000 ActaIIy Bear Brunt of
the Wars Burden.

New York. Feb. THAT the con-
dition Of the Jews in the Eastern war
zone Of Europe is appalling, is the
burden of a report issued by the
American Jewish Relief committee.
Concerning it's own attitude the
committee says:
The report indicates that the 7,000,-
900 Jews affected-who constitute one
half of the Jewish population of the
world-have by reason of their unfor-
tunate geographical position, actually
borne the brunt of the wars burden
In Eastern Europe. Nearly 3,000,-
900 Jews, the report says, face desti-
tuition, their homes having been pill
Jagged and destroyed, their industries
and trades ruined, and the entire fab
rio Of their economic life torn asun-
der.

GERMAN AIR CRAFT DROPS
DOZEN BOMBS, WEIGHING
600 POUNDS EACH, ON
FRENCH CAPITAL.
MAJORITY OF VICTIMS
KILLED IN THEIR BEDS
Thirty French AeropIanes Search
Above City for Raider Which
Speeds Away $4,000 Feet Above
Earth-Parisians Warned by
Firemen of Danger.

Paris, Feb. 1. TWenty-four per-
sons were killed and 27 injured in the
Zeppelin raid over Paris, according to
an official statement given out. Ten
of the wounded were placed in hospi-
tails.
Paris, Feb. Thirty French aero
planes searched the remote air regions
above Paris for a Zeppelin raider, of
whose appearance warning had been
given By the time it had reached
the edge of one of the old quarters Of
the city, several of the airmen were
able to make out it's pale yellow shape,
$4,000 feet from the earth.
Frightened, doubtless by the num-
erous war planes rising toward it, the
Zeppelin wheeled and drove at full
speed northward, dropping in it's trail,
into the darkness, a cargo of about
three and one-half tons OF bombs.
Then, continuing it's flight at a great
altitude, the airship vanished.
Parisians Are Warned.
Parisians had been warned, half an
hour before by fire engines rushing
known as Stand to arms" of the
presence Of the raider. The electric
street lights went out and policemen
cautioned careless householders to
close their shutters and darken their
windows Immediately.
1t was still early in the night, close
to 10 o'clock, and many persons were
in the streets, the cafes were open
and the moving picture theaters and
play houses were still entertaining
spectators and audiences. Then in all
parts Of the city could be heard the
whir of numerous aeroplane propellers,
while everywhere people went upon
the balconies to watch for Zeppelins.
Bombs Falls Into Streets.
Suddenly in one of the northeastern
parts of Paris there was a great flare
in the sky as the Zeppelin dropped
an illuminant, SO that it might be
seen by those on the airship whether
they were over the city. Then a
bomb fell into a street, crushing
through into the subway and tearing a
hole 10 feet in diameter but injuring
no one. Quickly series of other de-
donations occurred sounding duly
throughout the city.
One of the missiles fell on an iso-
lated house occupied by single fami-
~. The building was bisected, one
end being demolished and it's occu-
pants hurled far out into an open lot
and killed.
End of House Cut Off.
The other end of the house was cut
off sharply and bedroom on the Sec
ond floor was left intact with it's oc-
cupants uninjured. The floor was car
ried away under the bed. leaving the
bed balanced on the jagged edge of
the ruins, with nine-year-o1d boy in
it unframed.
Altogether dozen bombs, weighing
about 900 pounds each, were dropped
None Of the fatalities occurred in the
open streets, the majority of the vic
TINS being killed in their beds.

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well. eat we'll, digest well, work
well, sleep we'll, look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise. split.
ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath. acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices Of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
WE'LL should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass OF real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach The ac-
ton of hot water and limestone phos-
plate on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. It cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one q splendid ap-
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting a large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for a thorough flushing
of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatism others
who have sallow skins, blood disor-
ders and sickly compilations are urged
to get quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from any store that handles
drugs which will cost very little, but
is sufficient to make anyone a pro-
nounced crank on the subject of In
ternal sanitation.-Adv.

PROTESTS HOLD-UP OF MAILS
American Note to Great Britain
Against interference With Neutral
Pouches Made Public.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The text Of
the American protest to Great Britain
against interference with neutral
mails, just made public, reveals that
diplomatic and consular pouches have
been treated in a manner the United
States considers 'yexatiously inquisi-
torial."
The note describes the practices Of
British officials as ''unwarranted in
references" and, urgently requesting
prompt reply, points out that "a
strong feeling is being aroused" in
this country by the loss Of valuable
letters, while foreign banks are refus-
ing to cash American drafts because
they have no assurances that drafts
are secure in the mails.

Warns Nation
to Be Ready
President Tells Cleveland Citizens
American interests Are Being
Drawn Into MaeIstrom.
fInternationaI News service0


Cleveland, Jan. 31.-President Will
son, in his speech before 1000 persons
at Gray's armory here, asked the au-
dience if it were willing to stand be-
hind the government if it took a stand
to maintain the honor of the country;
said in one breath the people asked
him to keep them out Of war and in
the next breath told him they were
willing to stand behind him in case Of
conflict And he incidentally referred
to the fact, that while our navy is
ranked second by some statesmen, that
it Is in reality fourth and should be
improved at once.
The president introduced statistics
to show the apparent weakness Of the
navy and ominously mentioned that
all the world outside the United
States is on fire"
Must Take One Course.
Have you reflected" he said, that
the time may come when can not be
for both peace and war? The time
will come when / must take one course.
No one doubts, that given proper time,
we can assert any amount Of force
necessary. But when the world is on
fire, how much time do you want to
take to get ready? When you know
that there are combustible materials
in the life Of the world and in your
own national life, and that the sky is
full of floating sparks from great
confagre ton, are you going to sit
down and say that when the fire be-
gins it is time to do something
about it?
Difficult to Hold Off.
Il do not believe that the fire is go
Ing to begin; but | should be surer Of
1t IL we were ready for the fire."
The president, who had made two
previous speeches, and who had trav-
eIed here from Pittsburgh, did not ap-
pear tired; and he entered into his
remarks with a ferYor that drew con-
slant applause.
DO you wonder men see red?" he
declared Our interests are slowly
being drawn into this maelstrom. 1t is
difficult to hold off. We have done so.
But it has needed a great deal Of
watchfulness and unremitting pa
tience."
Navy Actually Fourth.
The president also for the first time
touched upon the coast defenses.
Our coast defenses are admirable"
he said
THE quality is admirable, but the
quantity is insufficient"
In discussing the navy, the president
said you have been told 1t is the
second in strength. ] am sorry, but ex-
perts don't agree reckoning by its &C
tual strength. | believe it to be one
Of the most efficient, but actually it is
fourth.
