WASHINGTON, April 2s.-The

ply TO Wilson's note and has given
Hollweg final instructions for word

probation that Germans here placed
upon the kaiser's invitation TO Ger

the reply therefore would be favor

tails with Gerard but merely will give
assurances of Germany's friendship

ragged, torn wounds, with which dirt
has been ground, and sometimes in
deep, punctured wounds, such as are
made by nails.
The danger of the rusty nail is pro-
verbal, but it is not the rust (exide
of iron) that is dangerous, but the
fact that the nail may have been Iy-
ing in the soil for some time and so
be contaminated with tetanUs spores.
These spores are not uncommon
cOntaminants of the skin of the
hands, but in this location they are
harmless unless driven beneath the
surface. A popularity of this germ
is that it flourishes only in the alb
sence of oxygen. Therefore, when
driven beneath the skin, air contain
ing oxygen is not available, and this,
together with the darkness and
warmth affords all the conditions ia
vorable to its growth and multiple
cation.
In it's growth it gives off one of the
most powerful and deadly poisons
known to man, known scientifically
as tetanus toxine.
The vacationist who suffers a
wound should remember lockjaw
can be prevented by proper treat
ment, but is almost never cured once
it has developed. It is safer to have
a physician treat wounds as soon as
possible.
