US. PROTEST TO BRITAIN MAY BE
 ACT OF FUTURE
Coincidence of Suggestion in German Note Likely To : Cause Delay.

Washington, May 13-Representa- tions to the British government re- garding the operation of the general blockade which the United States has denounced in the formal note as illegal will be delayed on account of the inn piled threat in the German note of May in which the Imperial govern ment expressed confidence that in view of the new orders issued for
 subnarine warfare the United States would insist upon Great Britain ob- serving the rules of international law in dealing with trade, and reserving to itself complete liberty of decis- ion'' unless this end was accomplish ed.
 From the outset the United States has maintained firmly in discussions | with Germany that the submarine is sues must be settled on their own
 merits and without regard to any mill l itary measures adopted by Germany's s enemies.
 Secretary Lansing yesterday made it clear that Germany's acceptance of the contentious in the American ultima tum with apparent conditions' made it impossible for the administration to proceed against Great Britain at the present time. To do so, he declared, would place the United States in the position of accepting apparent dicta-
 ton from Germany.
 G6rIndIy $ COnL0HI1OH, as gwen HI
 press reports and informal statements,
 that no actual conditions were inpos- ed in the German reply, is receiving little consideration.
 Officials of the administration take the ground that no new situation
 would be developed by Great Britain s fai1urett tto stop illegal blockade prac- tices, because these practices were in operation at the time the German re-
 ply was written and are still in vogue. The only rule by which the admin istration will determine whether Ger many actually imposed conditions will be/the future conduct of German sub
 marine commanders. If the rules ot international law are obeyed, IPres1-
 dent Wilson and his advisers will be
 satisfied that the conditional portion
 of the German reply was written for
 home consumption.
 Secretary Lansing announced yes-
 terday that Ambassador Gerard had
 been instructed to ascertain from the
 German foreign office the nature of
 the punishment imposed on the com
 mander of the submarine which at
 lacked the Sussex. The Secretary
 said that the inquiry will be in
 formal.
 Officials do not expect the request to stir up resentment in Germany.
 There is no thought of questioning the good faith of the German Admir- atty or foreign office in the matter Nevertheless, administration officials feel that in view of the character of the Sussex and the fact that American citizens were injured the United States is entitled to know what, pun ishment has been inflicted.

The Poor Winner.

When he overreaches himself, or when conditions change, he begins to feel abused.
 Whether he is in the five dollar class or the five hundred thousand dol lar class, there is always some silver tongued word merchant ready to urge him to pick up club and go forth to collect what fortune owes him.
 He is rudely shocked to find that the other fellow is also armed with club, being bent upon exactly the same mission.
 At this point it may be wise to turn to that
 part of the newspaper which tells
 going somewhere in
 and figure out the relationship of the in the
 trenches and those who keep safely from
 the firing line and tell the fighters they
 must do.
 There are lot of poor winners in this city or the problem of homes for those who need them would be in a fair way to be solved by now.
 If your money is invested in Bridgeport, you are poor winner if you don t make up your mind to get busy right now, and to ac- complish something worth while
 If you are selling your labor in Bridge port, if you want to stay here and have good wages and good hours maintained, you are poor winner if you don't do your part Prove it is good business to build you home you can rent or buy-the kind of home you and the wife want for yourselves and the children.
 Talk about it with the people you know who have good sound sense, but when you do talk SAY SOMETHING
 /' When you have made up your mind what is best DO SOMETHING
 Go into partnership with Bridge port now, the good business partner ship which makes everybody win, and be a GOOD WINNER.

There are more poor winners than there are good losers.
 It is true in sports, in gambling, and in business.
 To make a good loser takes only cer- tain amount of nerve.
 To make good winner takes self con- trol, good judgment and sound sense, as well as nerve.
 When man begins to suffer from rush of prosperity to the head he is poor win ner. He can't see straight, think straight nor act straight.
 A $5 bill will give some men an attack of nervous prosperity while others don't begin to feel it's effects short of $5OO,OOO. Even though the money is practically handed to the1n it takes only about twenty four hours for them to swell up with the con- viction that this sudden prosperity is mere ly a delayed tribute to their individual ability.
 When man suffers from a rush of pros perity to the head, he is pretty sure to want something spectacular-like grand house, or a new wife, or an automobileg
 It is human nature to regard any in- crease in income as right, and one that should be permanent. The wise man safeguards until he is SURE.
 The nervous prosperity victim is fairly certain to live right up to all that is coming in, and maybe little beyond
 The new house or the new wife are likely to cost more to run than he expected. So ii thing that is going up ~
