'In very humble cot
In rather quiet spot,
In the suds and in the soap,
Worked woman full of hope;
Working, singing all alone,
Ina sort of under-tone,
with Savior for q Friend,
He will keep me to the end
Just trifle lonesome she,
Just as poor as poor could be,
But her spirits always rose
Like the bubbles in the clothes.
And though widowed and alone
Cheered her with the monotone
OF Savior and Friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Human hopes and human creeds
Have their roots III human needs;
And l would not wish to strip
From that washerwoman's lip

Any hope that song can bring,
For the woman had Friend

German Rules For War in the
Mediterranean.


Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Ger
man Ambassador left at the De-
partment of State today under
instructions from his Govern
ment the following communica-
ton:
l. German submarines in the
Mediterranean had from the be-
ginning orders to conduct cruis-
er warfare against enemy mer-
chant vessels only in accordance
with general principles Of inter-
national law, and in particular
measures of reprisal, as applied
in the war zone around the Brit
ish Isles, were to be excluded.
2. German submarines are
therefore permitted to destroy
enemy merchant vessels in the
Mediterranean-that is, passen-
ger as well as freight ships as
far as they do not try to escape
or offer resistance-only after
passengers and crews have been
accorded safety.
3. All cases of destruction Of
enemy merchant ships in Che
Mediterranean in which German
submarines are concerned are
made the subject of official in

vestigation and besides submit
ted to regular prize court pro-
ceedings. In so far as American
interests are concerned, the Ger
man Government will commune
cate the result to the American
Government. Thus also in the
Persia case if the circumstances
should call for it. If command
ers of German submarines
should not have obeyed the or
ders given to them they will be
punished; Furthermore, the Ger
man Government will make rep
aration for damage caused by
death of or injury to American
citizens.
