BERLIN, Jan. H.-Germanys final re-
ply in the Lusitania matter is now being
prepared at the Foreign ONCE. The ex-

The most important clause, however. is
the declaration guaranteeing the future
safety OF neutrals aboard belligerent pas
senger ships and promising that these
vessels shall not be torpedoed without
fair warning. The Foreign Office will in
form the United States that Germany will
maintain the position indicated in the
kaiser's instructions to submarine com

Danger SIGNAL.

If the fire bell should ring
would you run and stop it or go
and help to put out the fire? 1t is
much the same way with a cough.
A cough is a danger signal as
much as a fire bell. You should
no more try to suppi css it than
to stop a fire bel! when it is ring
ing. but should cure the disease
that causes the coughing This
can nearly always be doneby tax
ing Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
Many have used it with the most
beneficial results. It is especially
valuable for the persistent cough
that so often follows bad cold
r an attack of the grip. Mrs.
Thomas Beeching. Andrews, Ind,
writes: "During the winter my
husband takes cold easily and
coughs and coughs. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is the best
medicine for breaking up these
attacks and you cannot get him
to take any other" Obtainable
