AUsTRO GERMAN SUBMARINE
CAMPAIGN AGAINST ARMED
MERCHANT SHIPS BEGINS
At MIDNIGHT.
BERLIN COMMUNICATION
IS LAID BEFORE CABINET
Important Appendices to Memorandum
Delayed In Transit-state Depart
ment Unable to Determine 10
Claims, In Justification Of
Course, Are Sustained.

London, March lon the eve Of the
date set by Germany for the begin
nInq of her new submarine campaign
against armed merchant vessels, Lord
Robert Cecil, minister Of war trade, 10
sued this statement: 1.-THE Brit
,Ish view has always been that
defensiveIy armed merchantmen
must not fire on submarines or any
other warships, except In self defense.
The Germans have twisted a passage
In a document, taken from transport
which they sank, into meaning that
merchant vessels have instructions to
take the offensive. This is not So"
Washington, March 1. - Results OF
the new Austro-German submarine
campaign against armed merchant
ships of the Allies which began at
midnight, are awaited by the United
States with grave concern.
Although under their new instruc-
tions Teutonic naval commanders are
authorized to sink without warning all
armed enemy merchantmen they en-
counter, 1t is understood they have
been told to make sure that no Ameri-
can citizens are aboard any ship at
tackled. Furthermore, In the latest
communication received regarding
submarine warfare, Germany has as
sured the United States that the new
orders are so formulated as to prevent
the destruction of enemy liners ION
account of their armament unless such
armament Is proved"
Note Laid Before Cabinet.
President Wilson discussed the sub.
ject in a conference with Secretary
Lansing and their laid the German
communication before his cabinet.
Later it was said that because the all
important appendices to the German
memorandum had been delayed In
transit the state department thus far
was unable to determine whether
claims set forward by Germany and
Austria in justification Of their course
were sustained.
Moreover, it has not yet been de-
cided whether the reiterated assur.
ances regarding the future conduct Of
submarine warfare, contained in the
German note, are of q character broad
enough to warrant acceptance Of the
German proposal to settle the issue
growing out of the sinking Of the Lusi-
tania. A decision In that connection
may be made within FEW days and
the state department probably will
take steps at once to determine what
has become of the missing appendices
which were started In the mails from
Berlin nearly three weeks ago.

ELKS GRAND RALLY '
Ames Lodge Holds Rousing Meeting
to increase Membership and
Build Hall.

Ames Lodge of Minneapolis, l. B.
P. o. E. of w. No. 106 held one of
their invitational smokers at their
lodge rooms on Feb. 20, which was
largely attended. Past Exalted Ruler,
P. H. Southall presided. A delicious
lunch was served, also choice cigars
and necessary refreshments. Mrs.
Margurite Fields Lee entertained with
several choice songs and piano selec-
tions. Exalted Ruler George Bryant,
gave brief outline of the principles
of Elkdom. Past Exalted Ruler, Fred
Thomas told, the history of the organ
ization of the first lodge in New York
City, which included among its char
ter members the late Sam Lucas, a
Negro actor, and of lodge in Boston,
which had among its members, Dick
Little Negro comedian and Wallace
King, the famous Negro tenor, also
of the reorganization, which included
only white members. His talk was
very interesting. Chas. w. Dwyer,
First Exalted Ruler of Ames made an
urgent appeal for new members and
congratulated his brothers on their
rapid advancement, P: E. r. VIM.
r. Morris spoke at length on the high
standing of the order and its member
ship, also of the good being done for
the race by the Elks. Editors Adams
of the Appeal, and Smith of the Star
made short addresses. Among the
other speakers were Judge Johnson,
and Irving Welborn. The speaker of
the evening was Grand Esteemed 10y
al Knight, Geo. w. Holbert. He
dwelt on the need of hall and told
of the plans to erect one. He paid a
high compliment to the Minnesota
lodges, there being only two, each
having Grand Lodge officer, and
told of the power, prestige and posi-
ton of Ames 100, and its accomplish
ments, viz. their annual Christmas
Tree, which is a looked for event a
mong our children, (This being the
suggestion of Archie Watkins of Ames
and they are now arranging summer
outing for the children). He also read
from letter from Grand Exalted Ru-
Ter Nutter, that the proceedings a
gainst Negro lodges of Elks by the
whites of Florida had been dismissed
in the Palm Beach County Court.
Those present were reminded of the
Elk's Harmony Banquet held at Ste
warts Hotel, when Atty. A. H. Hall
of Minneapolis Lodge (white) made
such a grand address and bold stand
for Universal Brotherly Love in Elk
dom, which was the beginning of the
better feeling between the two frater-
mites and Ames is duly credited with
this accomplishment, which seemed
impossible. Mr.. Holbert then made a
call for applicants, which received a
ready response. Music was furnished
by the Rennix Trio, and Billy De-
Blacks Southlanders. They made
good. 1t was an enthusiastic meeting
and it looks to the Star as If there
will soon be cornerstone laying oi
the Elk's Hall and VIM. r. Morris
who has every degree in Masonry will
be the master workman. The cere.
monies closed at a. m. with singing
of "Au1d Lang Syne".

ORPHANS HOME ITEMS.

The children OF the Sunday
School Of the Presbyterian church
rendered theirChristmas program
Sunday afternoon at 8p. m. A
number of visitors were present
and expressed themselves as be-
ing well pleased with the pro
gram. The tree was appropriate
ly decorated aud at the close of
the service was lighted for short
time with candles. After the
pastors talk, Mr.. Searles made
very interesting talk on Christ as
the Light, comparing it to the
one candle lighting all the rest.
Monday morning the presents
were given out to the children in
the school room. 1t was not as
bouutiful as last year but they
enjoyed what was given very
much. Some thought til y
had a better Christmas than last
year, and this was true of those
who had persons specially inter-
ested in them. j.
The Sunday School of Upper
Hardwicks Greek, through Mr..
Estes brought us some fine corn
meal, sausage, turkey and chick

provisions of any kind will al
ways be very acceptable.

Miss Beatrice BlOunt, who
taught at the Home last year,
and her friend, Miss Malone,
spent Tuesday at the Home. The
children were glad to see her
again. The North seems to agree
with her, physically.
Several friends made possible a
good Christmas dinner OF turkey

sary to say that the children en-.
