MADRID SENDS 4
NOTE TO GERMANY
SPAIN ALWAYS CLAIMED 1T
ILLEGAL TO DESTROY PRIZES
AS SUBMARINES DO.

MADRID, Dec. 2S (via Paris) -
The note addressed to Germany on
the submarine question by the Span
ish question reviews at length the
policy of Madrid from the time the
first Spanish ship, the Isidoro. was
torpedoed, in August, 1915. 1t de-
clares that the Spanish government
has always maintained that it was
illegal to destroy prizes as is the con
stant practice of submarines. and that
the cabinet also demanded the OBJ
servation of the declaration of Lon
don, notably article So which it is
maintained submarines violated by
abandoning the crews of sunken ships
to the mercy of the waves far from
land
The note further recalls the vigor
of the representations Of the Spanish
government which. it says. some
times caused the Berlin government
20 be surprised at the radical attitude
If Spain whose protests, it is said,
have been more energeic than those
of any other neutral state even the
United States Of Amrica. With re-
gard to the contraband question the
note says:
What the Spanish government
does not admit is the central empires
interprets sion of international law
whereby they destroy ships of nations
which have always such an interpre-
tation."
The note concludes with an an
nouncement that further steps ere
being taken to avoid Tor. diminish in
future the risks to Spanish shipping.
In September of this year the Span
ish government sent note to Berlin
protesting vigorously against the tor
pedoing of Spanish steamers by Ger
man submarines. Prior to that time
dispatches from Spain stated that in
dignation over the operation of the
submarines was growing throughout
the country and that mercantile and
shipping bodies were bringing strong
pressure on the government for
action
In October Berlin dispatch said
that the Berlin government had
promised to let Spanish fruit ships
sail unmolested under certain guaran-
tees and provided that the allies per-
mitted similar cargoes to pass for the
German market.
The agitation in Spain continued to
grow and on December ~ Alexandra
Leorroux, leader of the Spanish radi-
cal party introduced bill in the
chamber of deputies prohibiting
Spanish subjects and vessels from
provisioning German submarines.
This was followed on December p
nv the Introduction of resolution by
The Republican party declaring that
there was urgent need of putting a
stop to the torpedoing of Spanish
ships which was Continuing to weak
en- a merchant marine already in
sufficient and threatening to ruin the
agricultural interest of Spain"

EXPERIMENTING WITH SILK

ATLANTA, Dee. 29-Can silk be
raised successfully in Georgia?
Some Georgia editors has faceti-

Affirmative by declaring that Geor-

never Seen on land or sea.
Georgia can raise probably great

other state in the union, and raise
them profitably. This marvellous
diversity of soil and climate Is de-

BUT THE BOAT WAS FOUND
That he Has Met a Watery
Grave There Seems to be no
Doubt, But Search for Him
Will Continue Throughout
Today.

D. L. Keller, prominent and well
known Brunswick business man, has
unquestionably been drowned some
where in the vicinity of the new
docks. and though search has been
made for him, nothing has been found
except a small batteau in which Mr..
Keller had been fishing. Efforts are
still being made to recover his body
while his many friends are holding
out slight hope that he may be safe.
Mr.. Keller left the city alone Tues
day morning on short fishing trip.
He was great fisherman and often
went on trips alone, using small
batteau. However, he never went
very far from the city and conse-
auently did not go into any dangerous
water.
When he failed to return Thursday
afternoon some anxiety was felt for
his safety. but it was thought by
members of his family and his friends
j that he had doubtless been unavoid-
ly delayed by the tides and would
return safely. However, with }he
approach of dark he still failed to
show up and two or three searching
parties were at once made up.
Launches went to every nook and
crook in the nearby waters, but no.
where could any trace of him be
found PRACTICABLE the entire night
was spent in the search.
oP family hold
out hope that he would return with
daylight. but when he failed the
search was continued. S. and R.
Levison, relatives of Mr.. Keller,
started out again early yesterday
morning in a small launch. A few
miles this side of the new docks, on
the right-hand shore Of turtle river.
his small boat was found. In it was
all of Mr.. Keller's fishing tackle, his
glasses and other articles. The boat
had not been capsized
1t is now the genera opinion that
in some way Mr.. Keller fell from the
boat and was drowned. Just where
the accident occurred, however, is
not known, as the boat, from all ap-
pearance. had drifted some distance.
1t is understood that Mr.. Keller was
subject to sudden spells of illness,
and it is probable that it was during
one of these attacks that he fell from
the little boat.
Dave Keller has resided in Bruns-
wick practically all of his ife and he
was we'll known and popular among
a large circle of friends. He was at
one time chief of the Brunswick fire
department. a member of Che old
police commission and has occupied
other positions of honor and trust.
He was a member of Rathbone lodge.
knights of Pythias and was promin-
ent in Pythian circles. He leaves a
wife, one son and one brother, Phillip
Keller.
Though hope of Mr.. Keller's safety
has been practically abandoned, still
his hundreds of friends are still hop
ing that he may be safe and will
later turn up. Such is hardly prob
able. as he could not have been over
three or four miles from the city and
something of his. safety would have
. been known ere this.

DEATH OF GEORGE COOK

George Cook, one of our well
known citizens died at his home in
this city last Thursday after an illness
that began two years ago. This win
ter he took worse and for several
weeks he fingered, at times though
there seemed some hope for recovery,
but about ten days before his death
he became weaker and continued in
that condition until his death. He
was a very kind hearted man and
was loved and respected by all who
knew him. He had sunny DISPOSE
ton and was always able to look on
the bright side of life. His passing
is deplored by a wide circle of &C
quaintances.
George Coleman Cook, only child
of James Levi and Eliza Cook, was
born at Lime Center, New Hampshire
on the Bird day of June, 1851.
! When he was child Of three years
his parents left the old New Hamp-
shire home, and moved to Deep River
Iowa. At this place, on the 21st of
December, 1871, Mr.. Cook was united
in marriage to Jennie Merwine. He
and his good wife were permitted to
journey on together for . goodly
period of about 3S years, when, on
the 9th day of April, 1910, the wife
and mother crossed the river to her
eternal home. Mr.. Cook and family
came to Audubon county in March,
1882, on a farm about five miles
north west of Audubon. After spend
ing about IL years on the farm, the
family moved to Audubon in 1894,
and for the long period of % years,
this has been their home After a
somewhat lingering and painful i'll
ness, our brother departed this life
on last Thursday afternoon, April 9Th,
at the age of ga years, 10 months and
8 days.
| The home of our brother was bless
ed with five children. Two daughters
passed away in early childhood; a
son, Albert, died when 81 years OF
age; William Levi Cook, and Cora
Adella, and La Verne, o little grand
son, are now in the old home, from
which both mother and father have
been called.
