is the foundation on which the great
fraternal order of Knights of Pythias

fully costumed to produce this film,
and l feel certain that everyone who

the highest priced films ever shown in
the west, and the Isis management de-
serve large measure of praise and a
packed house for their enterprise
Every Knight of Pythias in particular

THE government OF the United

II takes II for granted that the i'm
perial German government does not
intend to imply that the maintenance
of its newly announced policy is in
any way contingent upon the course
or result of diplomatic negotiations
between the government of the

ent government, Notwithstanding the
fact that certain passages in the i'm

OF that construction. In order, how
ever. to avoid any possible misunder-
standing, the government OF United

ment that II can not for moment
entertain. much less discuss a sugges-
tion that respect by German naval
authorities for the rights OF citizens
OF the United States upon the high

slightest degree be made contingent
upon the conduct of any other gov
