WILL NOT CHANGE
 SUBMARINE BILL
GERMANY MUST REGARD ARMED MERCHANTS WARShiPS-NOTE
 GIVEN TO LANSING.

Washington.-In note presented Bernstorff, the German ambassador, Germany assures the United States that 1t has no intention of revoking the pledges given in the Lusitania case.
 The note says Germany can con- ceive of no reason for changing or postponing the new instructions to her submarine commanders to treat as warships enemy merchant ships armed 'defensively," and that special pre- cautions have been taken to prevent ships that are not armed from being attacked.
 The note at the outset reiterates the previous pledges, which were given on September l and October 3 last year for the safety of unresisting liners and then goes on to say the German government does not believe those assurances have been modified by the new memorandum.
 During the negotiations over the Lu' sitania, it says no mention was made of armed merchantmen, and that the United States in one of it's notes on the Lusitania mentioned "unarmed merchantmen" Attention then is called to the assurances previously given in which it is stated that liners will not be sunk without warning, pro vided they do not offer resistance. At tention also is called to the statement of the American government in its mo- tce to port authorities that the pres ence of armament on board mer- chant vessel creates the presumption that the vessel is armed for offensive purposes,
 The charge is made that Austrian submarines also have been attacked by armed merchantmen, which the note declares are not conforming and have no intention of conforming to the assurances given to the United States by the British government. The German government says it cannot see consideration of these facts. can re- gard armed British merchantmen as peaceful trading ships.
 The note makes it clear that Ger many believes US new instruction to submarine commanders are in accord with the viewpoint expressed by the United States in its memorandum proposing a modus vivendi to the entente allies for the disarmament of merchant ships.
 It declares German submarine com manders have been 80 instructed that they will not destroy merchant ship on a question of armament unless 1t is known positively that such arma- ment exists.

They Recommend the "Outside" Appli. cation of Vap.O-Rub Instead of
 Harmful Internal Dosing.

Intelligent mothers everywhere real ize that little children should be dosed sparingly, and yet some treatment for cold troubles is necessary, Joplin. Mo. mothers have solved this problem by the use of Vap-O-Rub. This is the external Southern treatment intro duced here last winter. Applied at night over the throat and chest, the heat of the body releases the ingredi- ents in the form of vapors, and thus the medication is inhaled with each breath through the air passages to the lungs. Vap-O-Rub gives quicker relief than internal medicines. and can be used freely with perfect safety on the smallest child.

MINISTRY OF MARINE REPORTS ON PROVENCE DISASTER
 WENT DOWN FEB. 26.
1000 MEN. WERE ON BOARD
Three Days After Destruction of the Auxiliary Cruiser French Officials Estimated Humber of Survi-
 vors at S70.

Par1S.-t was announced at the French ministry of marine that there were nearly 4,000 men on board the French auxiliary cruiser Provence when she was sunk in the Mediter- ranean.
 It was stated that on board the Provence were the staff of the Third Colonial Infantry regiment, the Third Battalion, the second company of the First Battalion, the second machine gun company and one extra company. in all nearly 4,0OO men.
 As the ministry of marine announc ed that the number of survivors of the Provence disaster was estimated at S70 it is indicated by the foregoing dispatch that upwards of 3,130 lives were lost.
 The loss of more than 5000 lives in the sinking of the French auxiliary cruiser Provence Is the greatest ocean disaster of modern times. Up to the present the larges number of lives ever lost in one wreck was when the White Star liner Titanic struck an iceberg off the Newfoundland banks on April IA, 1912, and sank with a death loss of 1895. The rescued num- bered 743.
 The French ministry of marine had previously issued no statement as to the number of persons on the Prov. ence when she went down. The yes sel, however, when in the trans-At' lantic service could carry 1860 per sons, including the crew, and it has been presumed that, as she was transporting troops between ports not far apart she was carrying number of men larger than her normal ca pacity.
 The official statement announcing the sinking of the Provence said:
 "The French auxiliary cruiser Pro- vence II (so designated to distinguish her from the French battleship Pro- vence) engaged in transporting troops to Saloniki, was sunk in the Mediter- reanean. Two hundred and ninety six survivors have been brought to Malta, and about 400 to Melos, by French and British patrol vessels summoned by wireless.
 "No signs of submarine were no ticed either before or after the sink ing. La Provence was armed with five cannon of IA centimeters, two Of 57 millimeters and four of AZ millime- ters."
 Among the other great sea disas- ters in addition to the Titanic already mentioned were:
 The Cunard Line steamship Lusi' tania, which was torpedoed by Ger man submarine and sunk off the head of Kinsale, Ireland. on May ', 1915. with the loss of 1,206 lives.
 The burning of the excursion steam ship General Slocum in the East River. New York, June IS. 1904, when nearly 1000 persons met their death.
 The French Line steamship La Bourgogne. sunk in collision with the steamship Cromartshire, July 4, 1898, with the loss of 5S0 lives.
 The Japanese liner Kicker Maru, sunk off the coast of Japan, Septem- Der 2S, 1912, with the loss of 1000 lives.
 The Canadian-Pacific steamship Elm press of Ireland. sunk in collision with the Danish collier Storstadt in the St. Lawrence River May 29, 1914. with the loss of more than 1000 lives.
 The burning of the Uranium Line steamship Volturno in midocean on October 9, 1913, with the loss of l36 lives.
