BRYCE DENOUNCES
REPRISAL POLICY
Declares Britain Must Not De-
mart from Humane Ideals.

London. Feb. 4.-Niscount Bryce for-
mar Ambassador TO the United States
snesking at Bedford College tonight
condemned the policy Of repr'sals
against Germany, which since the last
Zsnnelln raid has gained many advo-
Gates.
ave stand in this war for justice and
right Viscount Bryce said. we
,tand for humanity. and from that po-
s,tion we must not depart. | don't
myself believe for moment that we
shall gain anything by departing
from 1t.
"If II came 10 cruelty against cruelty
the enemy would always win. see no
reason to think that any recourse TO
inhuman practices that are shocking
20 philosophy and morals, when the
s,erv has adopted. would have the
slightest effect on him or promote IN
any way our military success.
I've would not gain and we shoulu
.or+,inlv lose. because there is notninR
that has won US more approval sno
syun.thv Of all that i. best in the
routral nations than that we have
cbampioned the cause OF justice ana
That is what has nerved our
arn and has created unity never par
allel.d in any previous crisis OF our
history"

Last Word Sent Wilson
Will Refuse to Admit Lusitania Sinking Was Illegal
DO Not Try to Humble Germany
Zimmerman Warns y. S.

OF the submarine warfare in view OF
the fact that the development OF sub
marine activity in this war was so rapid
that al ethical code completely gov
erning il does not exist
Above all, Germany asks the Ameri-
can people TO consider that whatever
concess ions on the submarines which
America might obtain at this Juncture
from Germany would establish prec-
edents which America herself would
be compelled to follow in the future
by reason OF her acceptance of these
concessions.
In this connection, the American s
must remember that any general and
hasty concessions on the academic
phases of the submarine warfare might
ultimately prove as detrimental to
America in case Of war "a they un-
doubtedly would prove TO Germany 81
the present time. The prophecy 4:
made that In forcing the academic
phases of the issue now America may
be forging a two-edged weapon that

Zimmerman Sees Crisis.
DR.. Alfred Zimmerman. Under Sec

the hope that the new formula forward
ed to Ambassador Won Bernstorff would
offer a possible basis OF settlement.
However. he made no effort to conceal
the gravity OF the situation and was
most explicit in mis- statements tina.
Germany had reached the extreme limit
OF concessions and under no circum-
stances would concede the illegslity OF
her submarine campaign in the WAL
area.

Berlin, Feb. 4.-Unquestionably there
Is deep solicitude in Germany concern
inz the status OF the Lusitania negot'a-
tiors. The question asked of the
American people by the best informed
Germans Is:
Are you sure you quite understand
our position? To our offer OF material
rcparation you wish US 70 add the dec
laration that our submarine warfare is
illegal. But declaring this would SIM
PLY mean that we surrender 70 the Al
lies policy OF arming merchantmen and
using neutral flags. This is no fanciful
peril for Germany, because only Few
days ago a merchantmen fying a neu-
tral flag fred on a submarine, which
only escaped by swift dive
That is why official circles hold that
one of the most serious crises Of the
war has arisen in connection with the
case, and that it is impossible TO fore
see the outcome from any indications
here. The result Of the negotiations
appears TO hinge solely on the one
word illegal" All indications are that
under no circumstances will Germany
admit that the sinking Of the Lusitsnia
was an illegal act
Germany decidedly is adverse to a
diplomatic rupture with the United
States and feels that her acknowledge
ment OF the justice OF the Americans
claims for material damages places the
other points ct issue In the academic
realm.
Honor Satisfied.
In Germany public opinion declares
that American honor and dignity have
been satisfied and that the remaining
academic questions should be consid-
cred BIZ the powers after the war.
Germany's present position Is by no
means arrogant. but she declines to con-
cede the points relative TO the legality

Trick of the Human Eye.

Although drops of falling rain are known to be almost spherical. they appear simply as streaks to the eye. This is because an indefinite number of images of the drop are impressed on the retina of the eye and, owing to persistence of vision-the retention of an image on the retina for fraction of 8 second after the object has passed the eye gets the impression of 8 streak. It is this that causes the spokes of a rapidly rotating wheel to appear blurred and that makes mo- tion pictures possible.
