GERMANY WILL NOT ATTACK
ANY LINER WITHOUT WARNING

They will not torpedo every ship
encountered, trusting to prove later
that they were armed.
They will not violate instructions
previously given TO warn passenger
liners.
They will not endanger human lives
unless the ships attempt TO escape,
to ram the attacking submarine or 10
fire on her.
In short. the difference between the
past and the present, as regards pas
senger liners, is that in the future
armed liners will not be considered
legitimate peaceful trading ships.
It can be stated definitely that Ger
many. by the new regulations. is not
courting trouble with America. But if
some future accident endangers Amer.
ieans or causes American losses, Ger
rhany will be convinced that the re-
sponsibility will not rest with her, in
asmuch as she has fully warned
Americans publicly. and the American
government officially.
President Wilson's letter to Senator
Stone first published here yesterday
! has caused a sensation in government
I circles and in the American colony
I visited the foreign Office. the Ad-
miralty Office and hte offices of Ber
lin editors today. The Wilson letter
had had the effect Of a thunderbol
out of a slear sky. German leaders
are surprised that President Wilson
has coupled the controversy ovei
armed merchantmen with the ques
ton Of Americas national honor.

Pea coal. which. because it Is the

known as poor mans coal" may be
withdrawn from the market, accord
ing to a report.
The net result OF this move on the
part OF operators, it is understood
may be that the cost OF fuel to the
average household may be boosted.
The method to be adopted, some re-
tailers say. is to combine the pea
and nut grades as one size and to
merge stove and egg into another.
Coal retailers said today that they
had heard OF the proposed change in
sizes. but did not expect an official an
nouncement from the operators until
April 1, the day the change is ex-
pected
In a letter TO its customers a Phil
adelphia coal company has explained
the situation as follows:

UNNATURlLIY TIRED

Some men and many women feel tired
all the time. This is not natural.
Fatigue following work or great exer-
tion is normal but to be constantly
tired indicates diseased condition,
usually thin blood. Backacne general
~ accompanies this state Of the system
Such sufferers. are usually pale but
not necessarily thin. In blonds the
transparency of the skin is increased;
in brunettes it is decreased and the
complexion becomes muddy. The eye
lids become greyish blue.
This condition Of thin blood, which
doctors call anemia, is dangerous one
if allowed to progress but with proper
treatment it may be speedily corrected.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie contain just the elements needed to
build up the blood and restore the lost
color and vitality. New energy circu.
lates through the system with the en-
riched blood, the heart stops its alarm-
ing palpitating, color returns to cheeks
and lips.
Nothing more is needed except sum
light, good air, proper food and rest.
IT you do not know exactly what rules
to follow in these matters write today
