AS at Jacksonville in '9s, Mr.. Blood
said.
Captain Powell and Ralph Joy were

Captain Powell and Captain LeBron

The .Keokuk boys were building a
permanent mess tent all rooted and
screened.
There is an absence of the usual
dignity such as prevailed in the '98

The men are still clamoring for
smoking tobacco and shipment Of
this would be most welcome to the

CAR THEFT
BOLD ONE

Il want to give Sheriff Bailey and
the police officers credit for doing
some mighty good work" said 7. +
Majors, whose car was stolen last
evening and recovered q few hours
later. Il reported the matter to the
officers at once and they got right
after it, the whole crowd working like
Irojans in their efforts to run down
the thieves"
The car was taken from the resi-
Idence Of Mr.. Majors, 710 South Seventh
street, while he was sitting in the
house reading, not over six feet from
the place where the machine stood.
About s o'clock Mr. Majors was called
to the door and three young men who
were there asked concerning some
other house number. He thinks they
came TO the door merely to find out
whether he was at home or what part
Of the house he was in. An hour or so
later when he went out to run his car
into the garage, it was gone. 1t was
found about 1880 p. m. at Eighth and
Georgia. 1t was still warm and the
amount of gasoline used showed that
the thieves had run it from 25 to 80
miles.

of all this ehestiness and self-inflation

Noted German Writer Quoted as Saying
that TeutOns Must Soon Disregard
Rights of Neutrals Unless
Allies Agree to Peace
By United Press.

LONDON, Feb. 19.-"No stars and
stripes will protect ship IN the war
zone"
The above statement is credited to
Macmillan Harden, the noted German
publicist, by an article that is printed
in the London Times.
Harden is quoted as warning the
United States and other neutral ma
tions that unless the allies agree to
peace in the near future, Germany
must disregard neutral rights and
fight for her own salvation"
"There is still short space of time
during which Germany might come to
terms,' the writer says. 1t is suggest
ed that the peace efforts might in
clude little disarmament, little in
ternational socialism and a proposal tc
pool war expenses.
IF these proposals are refused" says
the writer, Germany will have paid
her last debt to the world and human
lty and can proceed in the most fright
full manner ever known with complete
indifference.
America must reconcile herself to
the conviction that no further hesita-
ton can cripple our submarine war

tect ship in the war zone

BERLIN, Feb. 19.-rhat Germany
has said her last word on the Lusitania
matter and Viii not prepare another
note dealing with the question, is
strongly indicated in official circles
here
Officials decline TO comment freely
on the latest Washington reports to the
effect that Secretary Lansing will not
recognize Germany's right to torpedo
merchantmen without warning when
they are armed, but their attitude as
nearly as it can be stated is as fol-
lows:
Germany does not believe that the
United States government should inter
rogate her too closely upon the man
ner in which her new policy will be
enforced. Should the foreign office in
form Washington just how the German
submarine commanders win interpret
the term EARNED merchantmen" in
executing their orders, officials believe
that Germany would be imparting ns-
val secrets that would benefit the
enemy.
1t is stated that when Ambassador
Bernstein was instructed to make the
change suggested in recent confer
ences with Secretary Lansing in regard
TO the Lusitania matter, Germany con-
sidered the case really closed.
