American Attitude Is
Made Clear,
GERMANY IS ON TRIAL.
Document Is Courteous, but
Firm and Definite.

Washington, May y. Presidcn; vii
son has put Germany on trial.
In III" text OF the American reply
to the most recent German note on
SuhSea warfare the imperial soyar
ment is told the United States relies
upon Germany 10 keep its promises to
alter tl!e methods OF submarine war
fare,
AT tine same time the note rejects
the proposal that tho United States
regard this abandonment as conditions
al upon Great Britain's action with
respect 10 the blockade.
The note is courteous in tone. but
firm and definite in substance. The
full text of the note follows:
The note Of the imperial German
government under date Of May 4, 1916,
has received careful consideration by
the government Of tho United States.
1T is especially noted as Indicating
the pnrpo#" OF the imperial govern
ment as TO the future, that it is pre-
pared to do its utmost 10 confinc the
operation Of the war FOR the rest OF
its duration to the lighting forces Of
the helligcrents. ana that it is de
tcrmined TO impose upon all its com
handlers At sea the limitations of the
recognized rules Of international law
upon which the government Of the
United States has insisted.
"Throughout the months which have
elapsed since the imperial government
announced Gn Feb. a, 1915. it's subma-
rinc policy, now happily abandoned,
the government of the United States
has been constantly guided and re-
strained by motives of friendship in
its patient efforts to bring to an annie
able settlement the critical questions
arising from that policy.
Places Reliance in Germany.
Accepting the imperial govern
ment's declaration Of its abandonment
OF the policy which has so seriously
menaced the good relations between
the two countries the government of
the United States will rely upon a
s%crupulous execution henceforth of the
now altered policy OF the imperial
government such as will remove the
principal danger to an interruption Of
the good relations existing between
the United States and Germany.
THE government of the United
States feels ii necessary TO state that
it takes ii for granted that the impe-
ria German government does not in
tend to imply that the maintenance of
it's newly announced policy is in any
way contingent upon the course or re-
suit of diplomatic associations be-
tween the government Of tile United
States and any other helIigerent gov
eminent, Notwithstanding the fact
that certain PASSAGES in the imperial
governments note Of the fourth in
slant might appear to he susceptible
Of that construction.
In order, however. TO avoid any
possible misunderstanding the govern
ment OF the United States notifies the
imperial government that it cannot
Tor a moment entertain, much less dis
cGss, q suggestion that respect by
German naval authorities for the
rights Of citizcns Of the United States
upon The high seas should in any way
or in the slightest degree be made con
tingent upon the conduct Of any other
government affecting the rights of neu-
trails and noncombatants.
"Responsihiliiy in such matters is
single, not Joint; absolute. not rela-
tive"

IF BACK HURTS USE
 SALTS FOR KIDNEYS $
East less meat if Kidneys feel like lead or Bladder bothers you
 Meat forms uric acid.

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged and need a flushing occasion ally, else we have backache a nd dull misery in the kidney region, se- were headaches, rheumatic twingers, torpid liver, acid stomach sleepless-, ness and all sorts of bladder disor- ders.
 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia. and is harm less to flush clogged kidneys and stim mulate them to normal activity. It also neutralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive: makes a delightful effervescent lithja- water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kid = neys clean, thus avoiding serious com- plications.
 A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.
