Frankfurter Zeitung View.

Amsterdam, Feb 5.-The Frank further Zeitung in an editorial dis cLssing the relations between Ger many and the United States, says:
 The great difficulty in the dis pute lies in the mbination of the specific Lusitania case with the gen. eral question of submarine warfare. The danger is that the American government will bring other matters to a decision simultaneously, clearly with the object that if no arrange rlcnt is reached with Germany over the general question of submarine warfare it will act as cover for Weighty decisions that may be reached behind the bitterness which has remained in the minds of the American people since the torpedo ing of the Lusitania. The considera- lions of our rights and the moral ground that supports us will have very little influence on the actions of inc United States"

RACES WITH DEATH
 TO DIE AT HOME
Martin Nelson Dies at His Parents Home on East Street
 Today

By the death of Martin Leonard Nelson, son of MT. and Mrs. August Nelson of 563 East street at his par ents' home this morning, the grim reaper has closed the final chapter on a pretty romance, happy family and ended the earthly career of one of the best known Swedish young men in this city. MT. Nelson, who was but 23 years of age, died after a lingering :ll
 ness and his last wish was that he
 might die at home. At the time he
 was living in Detroit, Michigan, and
 realizing his condition he at once start
 ed for New Britain. Although he was
 given every accomodaton en route, the long trip exhausted him and when he arrived at Springfield about a week ago he was too weak to proceed fur
 ther and his relatives met him there
 and brought him home in an automo- bile. Thus his wish that he might die in the home city of his childhood days | was granted him.
 About two years ago MT. Nelson | contracted serious disease and un- | derwent treatment at the WaIlingford 1 sanitarium. While there he met a | young woman patient from New Ha- 1 ven. When both were discharged as ! cured their friendship continued l and ended in a happy mar riage about year ago. Mir. 1 Nelson was a steamfitter by trade and went to Detroit and secured Lucrative | employn ent at the Ford automobilt i works. He purchased a home in De. troit and was living happily with hi l wife and baby when he was agaiI l taken with the illness, from which h. | never recovered.
 | Besides his wife and child and hi l parents, MT Nelson leaves three sis
 ters, Mrs Ernest Carlson of this city l Mrs Adolph Johnson of Berlin an
 Miss Hulda Nelson, who lives at home
 He also leave four brothers, Emi | Charles. George and Axel. The youn
 mans father is one of the most prom 1 inent members of the Swedish Luth
 eran church and is caretaker of tn l Record building.
 The funeral will be held Tuesda | afternoon.
