Washington, ID. c., March Ger
many's latest communication on subma'
rine warfare was discussed in detail at
yesterdays cabinet meeting and at a
separate conference between President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing, but no
conclusion was reached. II was decided
to await data now on the way from
Berlin, regarding instructions alleged TO
have been issued by the British admir-.
atty TO merchant captains for attacks
ON submarines.
Pending their receipt, and a subsequent
decision regarding the attitude of the
United States, the state department is
prepared TO consider any overt act COM
mitted by the Teutonic submarine COM
manders in the light of the facts. The
department, il was said would not act
upon the case of an American who sus-
tanned injuries aboard a vessel which
it could be definitely established carried
guns for offensive purposes.
Cabinet members carefully avoided
questions on whether Germanys position
as outlined by Count Bernstorf in note
TO Secretary Lansing Monday was ae-
ceptable TO the American government.
1t was said that merely the facts were
laid before the cabinet without any
effort being made to arrive at a decis-
ion.
1t was reiterated, however, that the
United States would continue to stand
upon its position that attacks should
not be made on merchantmen UNI
armed or armed for defensive pur
poses, and would hold Germany account !
able if that position is not observed. The |
chief danger was said by Officials to lie
in a possible attack on ship carrying |
Americans.
1t was indicated in British diplomatic
circles that the allegations 9f Germany T
would be fatty denied. 1t was said that
British masters had not been instruct
ID to hunt submarines; that they had
been told to avoid the craft and that
,nly in event Of submarine approach
ng without warning were the shippers
to use their guns.
The state department is understood to
eel that the possibility of difficulties
rising in the near future as reason Of
he new German and Austrian policy is
more or less remote. Officials believe that
of the under-sea boats will 4
axe particular care not to attack with
ut warming armed merchant vessels upon
which there may be Americans. b
1t was Indicated in well informed quar-
ers that the president insist on strict
of the rules of interna- I
ional law as applying to Germany's j
ew submarine warfare. II

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

This question IS asked every day
A cold is really a fever, not always
caused by the weather but often due tc
disordered blood or lack of important
food-elements. In changing seasons
fat-foods are essential because they
distribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the system better
able TO Withstand the varying elements.
This is the important reason why
