WHILE STEAMER Is HEAD

IN EFFORT TO ESCAPE.

RIO JANEIRO, Feb. 12.-The Ger
man steamship Asuncion, iuterned at
Para, requested permission to ap
proach a wharf to take water. Under
cover of the fog she turned about and
headed towards the sea.
The Brazilian cruiser Republica and
the auxiliary Teffe, fired blank shots
and as the Asuncion did not stop they
fired on her with projectiles. The
German steamship then stopped and
returned to the harbor. The captain
later stated that he had no intention
Of escaping. The local authorities have
opened an investigation.

who now checks the agents make a
check of the conductors.
The final rock upon which the rail
road company. and the conductors is
split is the White Audit company The
railroad, it is understood, contends
that it is a legitimate and recognized
company and that after it was en-
ployed to audit the conductors the
company will not recede from it's con-
tract.
The conductors of the Atlantic Cost
Line have acted throughout through
the general committee of the Order of
Railway Conductors, and it will be this
organization which will call the strike
unless a settlement is reached.
The vice president of the Order of
Railway Conductors, w. NJ Clark act
ed with the committee in taking up
teh protest of the conductors with the
railroad company.
1t is understood that the general
committee will meet Monday to call
the strike. If called, it is probable
that it will be effective at once.

LOT OF POLITICAL TALK;
BUT NO CANDIDATES YET
Announcement, However, May
Be Made Within Few Days.

The air is full of political rumors
in Brunswick and Glynn county, but
as yet no announcements have. been
made, except for the Legislature, there
being two candidates for the position,
Col. J. E. Dart, the present incumbent,
and Hon. L. R. Akin, at present rep
resenting the Fourth district in the
senate.
Whether or not any of the reported
candidates will announce of course is
not known, but if the reports count
for anything then Glynn county will
see some real interesting contests at
the county primary this spring. Il
1t is not yet known when the execu-
tive committee will meet to arrange
for the county primary. The belief
is that an early primary should be
called, and it is probable that meet
ing of the committee will be held i'm
mediately after the meeting of the
state committee, which is to gather
in Atlanta next week.

EASY NOW TO DISTINGUISH
CITY'S FIRE BOX POLES
They Are All Being Painted a
Bright Red.

Chief Harrison and members of the
fire department were busy. yesterday
with the paint brush, and during the
day nearly all of the fire alarm boxes
and poles were given a coat of bright
red paint. The work will be com
pleted tomorrow!
Chief Harrison explained that the
poles were being painted in order that
they may be easily distinguished from
telephone, telegraph and other poles.
Often, he says, when a person sees a
blaze somewhere they have trouble in
locating fire box, simply because
it is in no way specifically marked
However, with the pole and box both
painted in bright red it will be an
easy matter hereafter to quickly 10
cate the fire boxes.

POSITION WAS TAKEN
EVEN BEFORE THE WAR
Berlin Newspapers Discuss the
Subject and States That Such
Action Would Confirm the
Hopes of Germany.

BERLIN (via London), Feb. H.
The Berlin newspapers publish dis
patches from the United States an
nouncing that it is expected that the
Washington administration will soon
issue warning to Americans not to
travel on armed merchantmen.
The newspaper says that this an
nouncement comes at timely mo-
ment to confirm the hopes entertained
in Germany that the new policy de-
claring that rmed merchantmen will
be treated as warships would be
found to conform to the revised ideas
of the state department on the con-
duct of submarine warfare and hence
tend to simplify in the future the
situation between Germany and
America on this issue. Official cir
cles felt but little apprehension re-
garding The reception OF the memoir
andum by the American government.
1t is stated that report from Baron
Zwiedinek Won Sudenhorst, the Aus
tro-Hungarian charge at Washington,
describing conversation with Secre-
tary Lansing regarding the disarma-
ment proposals, has given to Germany
and the Austrian government defi-
mite idea of the American position.
The main anxiety has been with re-
gard to the reception of the memo
randum by the American press and
public opinion.
The newspapers of Germany agree
in saying that it Is scarcely correct to
refer to the policy announced in the
memorandum as new, since Germany,
even before the war, officially had
taken the position that ships armed
in accordance with Mr.. Churchills
plan lose entirely their pecefu1 non
combatant privileges and that their
crews should be treated not even as
belligerents, but as pirates. They say
that an amendment was incorporated
in German prize regulations on June
%, 1914, which provided that every
hostile act of armed merchantmen
would be regarded as piracy and that
the crews should be dealt with sac
cording to the regulations covering
extraordinary military law and pro-
cedure."
The newspapers point out that the
memorandum does not go to ex-
tremes, but allows armed merchant
men the privileges of warships, that
is the crews, If captured, are to be
treated as prisoners of war and the
ships, although liable to be attacked
and sunk without warning, are en-
titled to certain rights of surrender.
The naval experts quote certain Brit
ish newspapers as opposed to the
Churchill measupres, to indicate that
even in England the dangers for
crews and passengers on armed mer-
chantmen were recognized before the
war.
The German press is unanimously
expressing commendation Of the
memorandum which, however, does
not go far enough to satisfy some of
the writer's. Count Reventlow, for
instance, says that insistence should
be made on inherent right of the
German ntion to make use of any
weapon which 1t needs in the strug-
gle for existence"
He adds: 1T is more important for
the German empire and it's people
that unrestricted use be made OF the
submarine weapon on Great Britain's
commerce than that good relations
should be conserved with the United
States"

THINGS TO DO FOR
 ACUTE RHEUMATISM

The remedies of most avail in acute muscular rheumatism, according to Dr. William Fitch Cheney of Stanford Uni versity. in an address reported in the New York Medical Journal are:
 First REST: Nature usually en- forces this method of management if the attack is sufficiently acute
 Second-HEAT: Heat is always grateful and gives relief It may be applied in a variety of ways.
 Third-PURGATION: It may be ad- mitted that there is no scientific req son why purgation should aid, but the fact remains that it does
 Fourth-SALICYLATES: They de mitigate the pain and they are trust worthy agents to use after the initial purgation
 Fifth - oPIATES: Ordinarily all opiates are out of place because they have in general bad effects that out weigh the good Externally the old established lead and opium wash, ap. piled hot, is a most valuable aid in removing pain.
 Massage. vilratory treatment, hy- drotherapy and counter-irritation also have some value.

A FEW OF THE DANGERS
 TO AIR PILOTS IN WAR

The work of the pilot of an aero plane is a ticklish profession. The engine needs constant watching, the controls by which he dips or soars need skilful handling. and the ailer- ons have to be manipulated.
 In lot of machines the pilot has to use his back, his hands, and his feet to keep his frail-looking craft on an even keel. From below an aeroplane seems to be forging ahead as steady as 8 rock, but in the pilots seat the rocking is terrible even on calmest days.
 Guns, or no guns, the pilot is at times compelled to fly low, so as to enable his observer to spy out .le en- emy, or any other information he has been commanded to procure. Photos, sketches, and notes have to be made by the observer, and at tow altitude within range of an enemy's guns the pilot has all his work cut out to avoid the bursting shells.
 There is another danger in fying low; as it is the pressure of air upon the forward edge of the planes that keeps the machine aloft, there is all WAYS the danger of flying into an air.
