THRU PARRYINC
Z. s. Tells Germany Further
Engagements Useless.
Accuses Nation of fragrant ViO-
latiOns of Treaty.

Washington, March 6.-Practically
accusing Germany of regarding trea-
ties as scraps of paper, the United
States governments note regarding re-
construction of the 1893 treaty in
formed Germany that further EN-
gagements' would be useless. The
note made public in full today. added
that the government is seriously con-
sidering whether or not Germany's
fragrant violations had not abro-
gated the 17S5-1799 and 1928 treaties.
After the reciting of Germany's vio
lations of the treaties, the note adds:
In view of the clear violations of
the plain terms of the treaties in
question, solemnly clouded on the
mutual understanding that the obliga-
lions hereunder would be faithfully
kept, in view further of the disregard
of the canons of international cour-
tesy and the comfy of nations in the
treatment of innocent American citi-
zenS in Germany, the government of
the United States cannot perceive any
advantage which would flow from
further engagements, even tho they
were merely declatory of information
al law entered into with the imperial
German government in regard to the
meaning of any of the articles of these
treaties, or as supplementary to them.
In these circumstances, therefore,
the government of the United States
declines to enter the special protocol
proposed by the imperial government. ,
In conclusion the note lays:
1T would appear that the mutually
of the undertakings (the treaties) has
been destroyed by the conduct of the
German authorities
As to Germans in U. S.
The German note also made public
today, was regarded by officials as
practically proposing new treaty.
Nationals of either country resident in
the other would in case of war, have
them would have been entitled to re-
main indefinitely and those seeking
to leave would have been free to do so
with all their property. Enemy prop
erty, specifically including merchant
vessels, would have been free from all
sequestration except under law apply
ing to neutralS also, while contracts
and patents would not have been can
celled. suspended or declared void.
The status of Germans in this coun-
/ try is not held to be affected by the
refusal to reaffirm the old treaties and
there will be no general internment or
prosecutions. The most serious pro-
| ject now in mind is adoption of the
mild Canadian system by which Ger
mans must register and remain within
certain limits unless especially per-
mitted to leave. Under this plan only
5000 out of $4,000 Germans in Can
ada have been interned
Anticipate More Plots.
The activities of plotters already
discovered and the certainty that more
to follow, has not shaken the official
/ belief that the majority of Germans
will remain loyal
Whether the treaties may be con-
sidered abrogated thru Germans ac-
ton will depend upon the state de-
partments view as to whether senate
approval is essential. There is doubt
whether the department alone can
reach such a decision.

SHOOT THE OFFICERS
Kansas City Teacher Says That Would
End War

Kansas City, Mo-, March 26.-Miss
Lenora Warneson, a teacher in the
James school, was the principal speak
ed last night before the Industrial
Workers of the World at their head
quarters, 1923 Main street. Her re-
marks were vociferously received and
when she had concluded she was ad-
dressed as ''comrade."
Miss Warneson was recently called
before the school board to explain
why she had written on the blackboard
of her school room this sentiment:
why enlist? You have nothing to
gain and your life to lose. 1 refuse to
kill my brother and hide my fists in
the folds of any flag"
Il was not author of those words
she explained. 1 wrote: The way for
the people to end the European war is
for the men in the trenches to rise
up and shoot their officers and then
go home 1t was brought to school
written out by one of my pupils
In conclusion Miss Warneson read
two quotations from Longfellow di-
rected against war. When she had
done man in the rear of the room
leaped to his feet
Three cheers for Comrade Warne-
SON." he proposed. The shouts were
given with a will.
Miss Warneson teaches the sixth
grade.

termed raiders were Captain Berfelder
of the Kron Prinz Wilhelm: Captain
Thierichsen of the PrinZ Ethel Fried
rich and Lieutenant Hansberg, who
was in charge of the prize steamship

In each car of the prison train
which ran in two sections, there was a
marine guard of fourteen men. There
were no untoward incidents since the
transfer which was carried out
smoothly The skeleton crew has been
left aboard each cruiser, barely
enough to wash down decks and 9TH
erwise keep the ships clean. The
sailors had kept things lively at the
navy yard since their arrival.

FED duke POISON
Czarina Convinced Rasputin

Alexis's Sickness Due to Con-

even the life of Grand Duke Alexis,

the presence of Gregory Ras2utin. the
mystic monk-a notion that is gen.
orally known to have accounted for
Rasputin's tremendous influence over
the imperial family-is explained IN
the following extraor binary manner by
the Russky Slovo:
"Rasputin, according to the news
paper stated in condolences to friends
at convivial moments that he was
able to fortify this superstition with
the help of Madame Virubova, lady
in-waiting to the empress, and M.
Badmaef, court physician, until the
empress was absolutely convinced that
the life of her son depended on the
monk. Whenever Rasputin was alb
sent for any length of time from the
court Madame Virubovo. according to
the monks story, as given by the
newspaper, obtained poisonous pow
ders from the physician and contrived

Alexis. The result was, during Ras-
putin's absence, the delicate health of

worse. until Rasputin was summoned
back to the court, when the powders
were stopped and Alexis became i'm

startling accuracy-being caused the

MAKING IT PLAIN
The Pure Food and Drug Laws a

Inc PURE Food and Drug Laws aim
to protect the public by preventing
mls-statements on the labels of prepa-
rations but some people continue to
accept "extracts" of cod kveys think
ing they will get the benefits of an
emulsion of cod liver oil.
The difference is very great. An
"emulsion" contains real cod Hye~ OIL
which has had the hearty endorse
ment of the medical profession for
many years, while an "extract" is a
product which contains mo oil and is
highly alcoholic.
SCOTS Emulsion guarantees the high
est grade of real Norwegian cod Ifsey oil,
skilfully blended with glycerine and
hypophosphites. SCOTS is free from the
false stimulation of alcohol and is en-
dorsed by good physicians everywhere.

his old-time friends.
Reverend Mr.. Waldron preached on
The Supreme Question and dwelt on
the religious decline of the present
time and the preference of the peo-
pie for social functions and general
good times rather than the church and
its services. The older people as we'll
as the younger are in the same posi-
ton, he said. He also touched on the
liquor question, prohibition in Kansas
