Washington, May 16.-A warning TO
neutral shipmssters to stop when hailed
by submarines was sent TO the State
Department to-day by Ambassador Won
Bernstorf. The memorandum points
out the danger Of approaching the sub
marine, as such action is likely to give
the impression that the submarine is
being attacked, "the responsibility for
which" the memorandum says, would
exclusively lie upon the neutral ship
master"

FOOD CRISIS PAST,
GERMANS BELIEVE
Crop Prospects Said To Be
Excellent - Board
Plans Relief.

Berlin, May 49, With regard TO the
food situation in the larger cities, re-
lief is expected soon through the or
ganization of a special department to
regulate the food supply.
The director OF the new department
will be responsible to the Chancellor,
like s minister, will be assisted by
military official, responsible TO the En-
peror. and authorized in command Of
all the local military authorities in
matters pertaining to food supply.
The people are showing wonderful
patience over the shortage Of supplies,
realizing that they are passing through
the end OF season which has given
the poorest yields of grain, hay and
many other products that Germany has
had for decades. In many places the
last years rye and oats amounted to
practically nothing.
The food experts are optimistic re-
garding the future. Professor Eltz-
bacher, president Of the Berlin Com
mercial University, who brought out a
book on the subject OF food problems
soon after the war began, publishes
an article arguing that the worst of
the present situation is past, and adds:
"If Germany has been able TO sur
vive last years shortage of crops she
can now look with confidence to the
future, in view Of the excellent crop
prospects. Last years supplies of
heterogeneous fertilizers were extremely
short, owing TO the stoppage Of i'm
ports, but the shortage has now been
remeded through manufacture from
atmospheric nitrogen. The phenomenal
drouth of 1915 cannot possibly be ex-
pected TO be duplicated this year"
London, May IA dispatch TO the
Exchange Telegraph Company from
Amsterdam says:
at a conference between DR.. Karl
Helferich, the German Imperial Treas
urer, and the finance ministers OF all
the German federated states. DR..
Helfferich presented a new financial
plan under which the federal states
would assume a greater part Of the
imperial expenditures. The plan was
opposed by virtually all the states.
Several new taxation schemes were
preached these being urgently needed
to assist in paying the war expendi-
lures. DR.. Helferich hopes by them
TO avoid the issue of another loan"

SAYS FORD'S THREAT
BEAT BIG ARMY BILL
Congressman Hear of 100000
Dedicated to Their Defeat.

At the twenty-seventh national con-
gress of the Sons of the American Rev
olution, held in the Robert Treat Ho-
tel. Newark. yesterday h. {. Ballard
Thurston, Of Louisville, made an an
nouncement which caused a sensation.
"A Congressman told me-" he said,
"why the increased army bill vote was
so small. He declared Henry Ford had
threatened to put 100000 into the
district of every Congressman who
voted for it and beat those Congress
men at the next election"
The convention was astounded by
this declaration. and in response 70
appeals which followed il adopted res
olutions declaring for military and ma
val preparedness.

Detroit, Nav 16.-E. G. Leibold, Hen
ry Ford's private secretary, denied the
statement made by Mr. Thurston to-
day in Newark, that "Mr. Ford had
threatened TO put 100000 into the dis
trict of every Congressman who voted
for the army bill"
II is believed here that Henry Ford
is now in Washington in connection
with the 100000 suit against him by
the Navy League as the result of an
anti-preparedness advertisement in
"The Washington Star" recently.

Strain Brought by War.

There is a singular variety among
our citizenship, il is true-a greater
variety, even, than / had anticipated;
but, after all, we are all stepped in the
same atmosphere; we are all sur
rounded by the same environment; we
are all more or less affected by the
same traditions; and, moreover, We are
working out something that has TO be
worked out among ourselves, and the
elements are there 10 be dealt with at
first hand.
"But when the fortunes of your own
country are, so 10 say, subject 10 the
incalculable winds Of passion that are
blowing through other parts of the
world, then the strain is of singular
and unprecedented kind, because you
do not know by what turn of the wheel
of fortune the control Of things is
going to be taken out of your hand. II
makes no difference how deep the pas
sion of the nation lies, that passion
may be so overborne by the rush Of
fortune in circumstances like those
which now exist that you feel the sort
of had almost said resentment-tha
a man feels when his own affairs are
not within his own hands.

"You can imagine the strain upon
the feeling Of any man who is trying TO
interpret the spirit Of his country when
he feels that that spirit cannot have
it's own way beyond a certain point.
And one Of the greatest points of strain
upon me, if may be permitted TO point
i out, was this:
There are two reasons why the chief
wish OF America is for peace. One is
that they love peace and have nothing

ent quarrel has carried those engaged

RumOr OF New Race-Track In Mary

The Baltimore papers report there

is stated AL. Herford with a couple
of capitalists behind him is planning
to construct new plant in Balti-

Chase, Md.
The second report is that the
Horsemen's Association, in a move
ment to balk Herford's plans, is
contemplating the building of a
track, the stock of which is to be
sold only to owners. But before
anybody can go ahead with the con-
struction OF another track the Balti-

must have it's say.
Maryland at present is the home
of four mile race courses, namely
Pimlico. Laurel, Havre de Grace and

Widows Dream Leads To Recovery
OF Body.

Widows Dream Leads To Recovery
OF Body.
A dream of his widow led to the
finding of the body of Gustav Dill,
of Duncannon, who was drowned in
the Susquehanna river there three
weeks ago.
Dill was drowned while crossing
the river from hunting expedition,
when his boat overturned. Exper-
fenced rivermen at once started to
drag the river, missing, so they be-
lieved, no current or eddy in which
the body might have lodged.
Mrs. Dill was driven almost frantic
by the failure to find the body. Sew
eral nights ago she had dream. In
the vision she saw every detail and
circumstance of the finding of the
body.
She was unable at first to prevail
upon any person to go to search for
the body. Finally two old rivermen,
tho incredulous, agreed to take up
the search again. Mrs. Dill describ-
ed the place where she had "seen"
the finding of the body. Within
five minutes after the men had
thrown in their graphing hooks, the
body was hooked and brought to the
surface.
