RECEIVE NOTE
FROM GERMANY
[Continued from First Page ]

CONTINUED from First Page.l
naval forces will sink only such Am
erican vessels as loaded with abso-
lutte contraband, when the pre-condi-
tions provided by the Declaration of
London are present. In this the Ger
man Government quite shares the
views of the American government
that all possible care must be taken
for the security of the crew and pas
sengers of a vessel to be sunk. Con-
sequently, the persons found on board
a vessel may not be ordered into
liteboats except when the general
conditions, that Is to be the weather,
the condition of the sea and the
neighborhood of the coasts afford alb
solute certainty that the boats will
reach the nearest port. For the rest
the German government begs to point
out that in cases where German naval
forces have sunk neutral vessels for
carrying contraband, no loss of life
has yet occurred.
Germany declined, however, to
have the commissioners who will
settle the Frye damages meet in
Washington because, it is pointed
out, that the German expert, DIR.
Greve, of Bremen, director of the
North German Lloyd would be ex-
posed to danger of capture during q
voyage to America, "in consequence of
the conduct of maritime war by Eng
land contrary to international law
1t is suggested that the German and
American experts might get in touch
by correspondence.
Refuses Umpire
Germany also declines to assent at
this time to the nomination of an
umpire in the absence of a determi-
nation of whether the experts would
settle damages or principles. Ger
many refuses to have an umpire con-
slider the question of principle. In
case the United States insists that
the experts meet in Washington and
that an umpire be named at once,
Germany suggests that the damages
be arranged by diplomatic negotia-
ton.
For the arbitration of the Prussian-
American treaty, Germany in the
note, proposes a special court of five
from the permanent court at The
Hague of which each country shall
choose two and the four shall choose
the fifth to meet at The Hague on
June Is. The special court would de-
eide whether under the Prussian- AM
erican treaty the belligerent con-
tracing party is prevented from sink
ing merchant vessels of the neutral
contracting party for carrying contra
band when such sinking is permits
sible, according to the general prin-
ciples of international law"
The United States has contended
that the German cruiser PrinZ Eitel
Friedrich had no right under the
treaty to sink the Frye. The Ger
man note proposes that both parties
present copies of their argument TO
the court on March l and deposit
their counter cases and evidence on

parts of one lone chicken was all that
could be found after the event.
Mr.. Kaufman, the host, had ar

lovitz and Sam" Bloom, in behalf OF
their associates, expressed thanks and
appreciations for the fine time they
had been given.
At intervals between the speeches,
the boys cheered and sang. Mr.. Kauf-

GETS DATA ON
AMERICANIZATION
Representative of National
Committee Studying Condi-
ton of Foreigners Here

Mrs. Johanna Won Wagner, OF De-
Americanization Committee. with Of
fees in New York, spent yesterday and
to-day in Steelton, procuring data re-
lating to the welfare of foreigners
who make their homes here.
The purpose of the Americanization
Committee is to impress upon tho
State and National Governments the
necessity of enacting legislation which
will tend to induce foreigners to be-
come Americanized and also to make
their home life as much like their
American neighbors as possible. An
other purpose of the organization is to
teach foreigners the dangers which
follow the oVercroWding of houses and
urge them to live in quarters where
they have sufficient room, light and
air. The committee Is also endeavor-
Ing to find means for teaching foreign
ers the English language and in all
manner of ways to benefit foreigners
who are making America their home.
Mrs. Won Wagner is herself hous-
ing expert and for many years has en-
gagged in work among foreigners and
the poorer classes of people al lover
the country. Ten years ago she lectured
III fiarrlSDurB on charitable work and
is personally acquainted with John
lhlder, the New York housing expert,
who made an investigation of housing
conditions in Harrisburg a year ago
at the invitation of a number of Har-
r1sburg municipal and charitable in
stitutions.
The claims of Mrs. Anna II. Wood,
or harrisburg, who, few weeks ago
IN an, article for the Telegraph, told
or foreign children and even babies
belng given beer as a food, were sub
stantiated by Mrs. Won Wagner, who
says that that condition exists in all
parts oil the country. She declared
that some persons have circulated
stories in Europe that the air in Amer
lea Is so impure it Is absolutely neces-
sary that beer be given children to
Keep them in good health. Mrs. Won
wagner recalled that at one time.
Whlle she was working in San Fran
CISCO, number of girls, dressed I'm the
Hnest clothes. canvassed the foreign
colonies there and told the occupants
OF each house now necessary it was
that the children be given beer to
drink because of the many impurities
IN the air in America. She said. too,
that many of those foreigners, almost
, TOO poor to buy bread, gave the
women orders for beer. The canvas
i Sers represented some Pacific coast
brewery.

HOW TO DESTROY HORNETS.

Here's a scheme for destroying
hornets and yellow jackets, vouched
for by Doctor Malander of the Wash
ington Agricultural College. writes a
contributor in the current issue OF
Farm and Fireside.
Find the nest by watching the
homing hornets. Fill gallon jug
quarter full of water and place il
next the nest. A hornet will enter
the jug, fall into the water, make
disturbing humming, perhaps send
out distress signals, and in the course
of the day all the hornets in the col
ony will drown themselves in the
Jug"

INSULTING NOTE RECEIVED
Right to Invade Its Territory and
Questions Our Motives.

Mexico City-Formal notice has
government by the de facto govern
ment of Mexico that the presence OF
American troops would not be toll
Grated any longer upon the soil of
Mexico, which is taken as an answer
to the recent note of President Wilson.
The Mexican government charges
the United States with sending
naughty and discourteous communica-
ton and the attention of the United
States authorities is called to the fact
that MeXicans have been murdered up
on the border, where no attempt was
made to punish the perpetrators.
The Mexican foreign offices lays
the blame for the killing of IS Ameri-
cans at Santa Ysabel upon the VIC
tins for attempting a journey across
territory that was known to be dan
gerous.
1t is declared that the pursuit of the
bandits under the leadership of Fran
cisco Villa was taken at once after
they began their depredations and that
the duty of stamping out these out
laws rests with Mexico and not with
the United States
In substance, the Mexican govern
ment denies the right of American
troops to occupy Mexican territory
and declares that the presence of
United States troops in this country
is a violation of the national rights.

WAR WILL BE LAST RESORT
President Wilson Declares That He
Will Not Countenance War With
Mexico Unless Necessary.

New York.-President Wilson made
it plain in his speech at the New York
Press Club banquet that he will not
countenance war with Mexico until
there is no other alternative for set
tling the border troubles.
He declared again that he was ready
to sacrifice his own political fortunes
in order to carry out his convictions
as to what would be the just course
to pursue in the situation.
The presidents audience, composed
of newspaper men, state and municipal
political leaders and others prominent
in public life, signified their indorse-
ment of his position by repeated out
bursts of applause. When he asked if
the glory of America would be en-
hanced by war of conquest in Mexico,
shouts of "No" came from all parts of
the banquet hall. A similar response
was made to his query whether it is
Americas duty to carry self-defense to
the point of dictation into the affairs
of another people"

self" he said, that I am not the SER

the value of their Mexican invest
ments, but that I am the servant of

MUCH SERVICE NOW
SEEMS CERTAIN
MONTHS OF ACTIVE SERVICE
ALONG THE FRONTIER AWAIT
NATIONAL GUAROSMEN.
DISTRIBUTE BORDER PATROL
Administration Machinery Complete,
Not Only for Border Operations,
But for a Campaign Of Any
Proportions in Mexico.

Washington.-Wh.le the displomat1c
aspects of the Mexican difficulty show
no change, war department measures
for a new distribution of the Doroer
patrol clearly indicates that months
of active service along the frontier
await the thousands Of national
guardsmen gathering in the south.
Only the appointment of general Of
ficer to supreme command is lacking
now to complete adequate administra-
tive machinery, not only for border
operations, but for a campaign OF any
desired proportions in Mexico.
There never has been any purpose,
it was said, but to withdraw complete
ly from Mexico when the de facto
government showed the willingness
and ability to furnish adequate mill
tary protection to the border region
That now is being given, apparently,
in the sections from which Gen. Per
shing has withdrawn, although 1t also
has appeared that the Mexican troops
are being disposed for the primary
purpose of making a display OF force
against any southern movement by the
Americans.

WILSON IN FIGHTING MOOD
tion Should Be Just to Others and
Demand Same Treatment.

delphia.-President Wilson, de-
scribing himself as lin a fighting
mood" enunciated to large crowd in
Independence Square his conception
of some of the cardinal American
ideals. He declared that America, in
dealing with other nations must win
dicate at whatever cost" its principles
of liberty, justice and humanity; that
America first" must be translated in
to action exalting above all selfish ln-
terests, and that the nations policy
and development must be guided by
the whole people and not by any small
group.
Applause repeatedly interrupted the
address. The crowd liked particularly
the presidents declaration that Amcrl-
can principles must be vindicated in
dealing with other nations, which ap-
parently was interpreted as referring
to the Mexican situation. However,
Mr.. Wilson did not mention Mexico or
any other foreign nation directly.
Il believe" the president said, that
America, the country we put first in
our thoughts, should be ready in every
point of policy and of action to vindi-
date at whatever cost the principles
of liberty, of justice and Of humanity
to which we have been devoted from
the first"

CAVALRYMEN ARE RELEASED
Negro Troopers Held at CarrizaI Have
Been Released and Are Safely
Out of Mexico.

Ell Paso.-The twenty-three negro
troopers of the Tenth cavalry who, at
Carrizal, Villa Ahumada, Chihuahua
City and Juarez, have been central
figures in one of the most striking
chapters of the Mexican situation, are
safely out of Mexico.
Survivors of an engagement with
superior force, twice stoned by mobs,
more than once gripped with the fear
of execution for their part in the Car
rial fight, and, lastly, objects of in
tercession by the president of the
United States, they were brought to
the border from Chihuahua City on
a special train and turned over to
Gen. Bell, commander of the Ell Paso
base.
With them came Lem H Spillsbury,
the Mormon scout, who guided Capt.
Boyd and his detachment over the
trail to Carrizal. Spillsbury spent the
night at the home of his brother here.
The troopers were at Fort Bliss, await
ing orders from Gen. Funston at San
Antonio
1t was thought probable at military
headquarters the % troopers will be
kept at the Fort Bliss hospital until
all danger of infection from disease
will have been removed and then be
transferred to their various COM
mands.
