NTERNED LINERS MAY
SEEK U-BOAT CONVOY

Rumors were current in Washington
last night that the German submarine
U.s. may attempt to convoy some OF the
big Teuton liners, now interned at
Hoboken. Boston and other ports, along
the Atlantic coast.
These boats are free to clear any time
provided they have the proper clearance
papers. but to avoid the possibility Of
their departure without this formslity
revenue cutters and cruisers have them
constantly under guard.
Some officials of the navy are inclined
to believe that the U-boat will get sup
plies and assistance from friendly sources
in this country, and there is q general
feeling that the operations will not be
confined to merchantmen, but may soon
record disaster to some of the English
cruisers which have been steaming be-
yond the three-mile limits.
All the official reports received here
indicate that the Germans are sdhering
strictly to the pledge given by Ambassa-
dor Won Bernstorff in a note in the Lust
tania case on September !, 1915. In that
memorandum Germany promised to sink
no liners without warning and withou,
providing for the safety OF the passen-
gers. providing the liner did not try to
escape or ofrer resistance.
This pledge was reiterated by the Am
bassador last night in conversation with
newspaper men,
The note that was mailed by Com
mander Rose OF the us at Newport was
received at the German Embassy yes
terday. The Ambassador declined to
make public its contents. It was de-
clared officially, however, that the letter
did not deal in any way with the subject
of peace.
1t is surmised that the letter deals with
the purposes OF the U-boat campaign and
that 1t contained instructions to the Am
bassador regarding representations that
are to be made to the American govern
ment in this connection.
No protection will be given by the
United States to vessels after they pass
the three-mile limit. As in the case Of
Deutschland. when the ship is once on
the high seas, Americas duty is done
1t is then up to the allies to protect their
transport and troop ships from German
submarines. Germany can operate as
large a feet Of these undersea boats out
side the three-mile limit as she pleases
so far as this country is concerned.
Apparently some complaint has been
made to the government that the Ger
man submarines are violating neutrality
by operating within the three-miIe limit
Admiral Benson telegraphed last night
to ascertain the latitude and longitude of
the Nantucket Hghtship. He ascertained
that its latitude is 40.35 and its longitude
o.S5. This is sixteen miles from the
nearest headlands and we'll outside OF the
three-mile limit

Il suffered dreadfully with indigestion

Tate, and had a general nervous break

I slept very poorly. Catarrh troubled me
very much as there seemed to be a
dripping from the back OF my nose Into
my throat. which kept me constantly
trying to clear il up. When arose in
the mornings my nose and head would
be all stopped up and It required some
time to get it coughed up. 1 really think
this dripping from my nose is what got
my stomach in such bad condition. for 1t
seemed the lining of my stomach was
all irritated and inflamed. At times
even a glass of water seemed to sour
and form gas. / hardly knew what It
was to eat a good hearty meal, for fear
Of the after results. Always after eating
I suffered those heavy. dull pains, and
IT seemed II I could only belch 1 would
be relieved.
This condition had been running on for
q long time. and l had spent a small
fortune on different medicines, and
doctors. but none seemed to reach my
case, for I was growing worse all the
time instead of better.
Il had been reading in the daily papers
the different statements of persons who
had received such remarkable benefits
from taking Dreco, and while was suf-
fering Just as they said they had, 1 just
felt like II would be throwing more
money away to try 1t. But my condi-
tion was getting so bad I had to try
something. so 1 bought a bottle of Dreco.
You may believe II or not, the first dose
seemed to help me, for II had a soothing
effect upon my stomach. The longer 1
took II the more I improved, and I am
here today to say that I am in better
shape than / have been in many a day.

never have those pains TO pay for II
either. I have gained in weight, sleep

The eatarrh Is very much better, for
now in the mornings my head Is almost
clear. the dripping into my throat has
ceased and am not embarrassed by al
ways trying to clear my throat.

publish the facts in my case, for Dreco
