Broken Pledges Of the Past are Recalled Germany Vast
ing Time In Trying to Get|Uniied States Ia'o Peace
ParIey. Liners will Probably Be Armed with Guns
And dunners from the u. $ Navy

Washington, Feb. 12.-Declining
flatly to resume negotiations with
Germany, "unless and until" the
German submarine pledges are
once more in force, and "acted up
on" President Wilson took up the
probleN of protecting American
commerce at sea tonight. !
In an official statement the State
Department made public a sugges-
ton from Germany through DR..
Paul Ritter, the Swiss minister, that
the German government was willing
to resume negotiations with the
United States.
The same statement outlined an
unequivocal refusal by the United
States to discuss the submarine
question with Germany under pres
ent conditions.
The memorandum Of the State
Department was clear, forceful, and
to the point. It made clear the de-
termination of President Wilson to
abide by the terms of the ultimatum
to Germany laid down in his speech
announcing the break between the
two countries.
1t promptly and briefly put an
end to present hope for any infor-
NAL negotiations to relieve tense re-
lations between Germany and the
United States, and made it clear
that only . modification " Ger
many's announced ruthless cam
paign Of the sea can prevent the
President from carrying out his de-
termination to ask Congress for au-
thority to use the military powers
of the government if "American
lives or American ships 60 down in
the German sea war"
Meantime the pressing question

citizens who go down to the sea in
ships became the center of admins
tration concern.
With American ocean traffic
practically suspended, the President
and his advisers recognized the nee
essity for immediate action, and the
State Department laid before the
President the data on the question.
The problem was put squarely be-
fore the administration in a tele-
gram sent today by p S. A. Frank
lin, head Of the American Line, who
set forth that he had been unable to
secure guns and gunners to protect
his ships, and asked that the Navy
Department aid him.
Al conflict Of opinion, as to the le-
gality Of putting navy guns and
gunners on the ships, between the
State Department and the navy,
resulted in the matter going direct
to the President.
Plans have been made for pro-
tecting> American vessels and only a
question Of legality and policy re-
mains to be settled. It was suggest
ed tonight that the President may
take the "bull by the horns" and
lay the entire subject before Con-
gress with a request for specific au-
thorization to man merchant ships
with navy guns and gunners: 3
This, it is learned, would be prac,
tically equivalent to fulfilling the
Presidents promise that he would
demand authority to protect Ameri-
can rights, in the event Of an overt
act by Germany.
It would likewise prove more
forceful as showing that the whole
power of the government was be-
hind the move, it was stated.

BEST THEATRE.

Monday-Mormonism as practiced by the disciples of Joseph Smith. who settled in Utah in the late forties, is the background of "A Mormon Maid,' in which Mae Murray is starred, and which will be seen at the Best thea ire Monday and Tuesday.
 For the first time in the history of photodrama, vivid portrayal of Mor- mon life, as lived in those days, is pictured, from the flights westward of the caravans of Smiths followers to accurate picturizations of the strange beliefs and customs that caused them to be "persecuted," as they called it, in practically every state in which they settled.
 An insight into the practices of Mormonism is given in the picture by means of scenes depicting the cove tous pursuit by one of the 'Elders" of the daughter of a pioneer who has come under the Mormon influence, after having been saved from massa- ere by the Indians Forced marriages, under pressure of the council, and the system of spies that prevented enemies of the faith" from getting also pictured realistically.
 "A Mormon Maid" is an accurate and truthful narrative of Mormonism of early Utah and the scenes have been taken in the country in which the incidents occurred. A faithful re- production of the early Mormon as he was, cold and stolid, with his re- ligion, is given throughout.

The Women

The hand that rocks the cradle may rule the world all right, but the wom- an who is competent to handle finan- cial matters is able to take good care of herself which at times may be as important to her. as the question of ruling the world.
 Many women today are good finan- cihrs. They understand all about handling money. Many of them keep their own accounts at our bank. Other women might profitably follow their example. It's fine of course to depend upon husband, father. brother or: some other friend to save you the care of handling money matters, but the relative you depend on may not be with you always. What would happen then? We invite all the la dies to open little account with us, no matter how small. The experi- ence will be helpful.
