Text of German Memorandum.
Washington, Feb. 29-The text of the
memorandum, given the state depart

day, follows:
"The imperial German government
reiterates the pledges given September

not consider that these assurances have
been modified by subsequent events.
Negotiations conducted between the
German and American governments
over the Lusitania incident have never
referred to armed merchantmen.
con the contrary, the American note
of May 13 spoke expressly of unarmed
vessels. Furthermore, the formula
agreed upon by both governments on
September l contained the proviso that
they should not offer resistance. The
presence of armament aboard merchant

point of view when it requested the
Italian ambassador to give assurances
that the armed italian liner Vedid Vc~

not fire on submarines when warned.
"The imperial German government

ONCE ON new YORK RUN
Was Pro b aby Carrying
Troops Between SaIOnika,
Malta and MeIOS

Paris, Feb 29.-More than 1000 men
are believed to have perished when the
French auxiliary cruiser Provence, car.
rying $500, sank Saturday in the Medi-
terranean. Official announcement by
the ministry of marines today told of
296 landed at Malta, and 400 others
at the Greek island of Melos.
A later official statement said that
$40 were saved, making the missing
around 1000.
Ten boats now at the scene are con
tinuing the search for other survivors.
The Provence dispatches did not state
whether the disaster was due to a sub.
marine, a mine or an accident, though it
is known that submarines are operating
in the Mediterranean as the British
steamer Fastnet ana a Swedish shin
were recently tOrpedoed there.
The Provence is believed to be the
palatial liner formerly in the trans-At-
lantic service. but more recently on
admiralty duty. That vessel was of
$4,000 tons and GOO feet long.
There is also battleship Provence
and 1000 ton steamer Provence, but
obviotily from the Hescriptibn, tbh
sunken liner was neither of these.
The Provence was probably carrying
troops either to or from Salonika. Nal.
ia and AIelos, the landing points are six
hundred miles apart. It is likely that
the vessel sank between Malta and the
Greek west coast.

THE MODERN TREND.

If Father Noah lived today
And it began to rain,
He would not build an ark;
He'd build a hydro-aeroplane.
II wicked Nero lived today,
And Rome began to burn,
He would not play violin,
A photograph he'd turn.
If Ben Hur lived with us today,
No chariot he'd ride;
He'd buy 90-horse-power car
To win his fame and bride.
If poor old Jonah lived today
He'd find the travel finer;
Instead of riding in a whale
He'd try an ocean liner.
II Mother Eve lived here today,
She'd surely have to smile;
She would not change her mode Of
dress,
And she'd be right In style.

to Gees livery stable, just across the
street, all of the horses and vehicles
in the building were removed, but
the flames were confined to the build

also in the stable and when brought
out, in an effort to escape, slipped and
fell, breaking one of his legs.
