0ffiCiOuS Representative of Cologne Paper Has Aroused the Ire of
 Administration
GAVE U. S. AN INSULT
Germany Was Led Into a Scheme HatChed by
 SeIf-AppOinted
 Diplomat.

WASHINGTON. Feb 13. - pr. George Rarthelme, Washington cor. respondent of the Cologne Gazette, after a conference with Counsellor Polk decided to return home with Ambassador Rernstorff. The Doctor is responsible for the suggestion from Germany that she was willing to ne' gotiate, formally or informally, with the United States, provided that the commercial blockade against Eng land was not broken.
 There is bitter resentment in Ad- ministrationl circles over this state ment, where it is characterized as an insuIt, in view of the Presidents address to the congressmen announc' ing the breaking off of relations and it is also claimed that the offer was predlcated on a statement sent by D.. Rarthelme to his newspaper which has an official status, that he had the highest authority for the declaration that if Germany would agree not to sink American ships friendly relations could be restored

 "It is step that may be effective in the present international crisis without declaration of war on our part"

German Americans Had Advised Kaiser That No Break Would
 Be Made.
WILSON FEARED ALIENS!
Inside Developments Are Given Regarding the Diplomatic Break by
 Correspondent.
By the United Press Correspondent
 with Ambassador Gerard.

BERNIE, Feb. 13. - Berlin was astonished, officials and public alike, when President Wilson broke of dip lomatic relations with Germany.
 The astOnishment came because the officials had recently been as- sured by the German-Americans in the United States that President Wilson would not break for fear Of a German-American uprising. This same belief was held by the Ger man public.
 Writing now from neutral Swiss soil, it is possible for the first time to tell of the developments which lead Germany to her decision of re. lentless sea war.
 The determination to use the sub- marine in unlimited warfare dates back to November. It was then that Germany's internal affairs were at the greatest crisis of the war,
 The Socialists warned the Kaiser that unless he moved for peace, Dr. Scheidemann and other Socialist leaders would head a militant move bent to bring about peace. This move came at a time when the Ger man people were destitute and des- pOndent.
 Simultaneously, the powerful land owners, controlling the food supply and the equally powerful group of industrial leaders, controlling the munition makers, told the govern ment the only way to end the war was by an unlimited submarine war fare.
 Those interests have always been anti-American.

BLACK MAN TURNS WHITE
Fright Was the Cause, But He Is Now
A Real "HOOdOO."

Earle, Ark, Feb. 26.-An aged
negro, holly pursued by three ne
crosses armed with an axe handle and
heavy sticks, dashed through the
streets here the other day. The old
negro was handicapped by his age and
the women had given him a sound
beating before they were stopped and
arrested.
The negresses excused their attack
on the ground that the old man is a
Y hoodoo," and that he has been prac-
ticing his sorcery on the negroes in
the vicinity, causing them all sorts OF
bad luck.
They loudly announced that they
will give the aged one but five days
to leave town under pain Of further
beating. The negroes belief that the
old man is ''hoodoo" probably arises
from his appearance. His skin has
turned white except for a streak
about the eyes, giving him an I'M
canny look.

Capital To Be Dry.

The caL:tal of the United States was
voted dry after November 1, when the
prohibitionists in Congress, angered
and exasperated by wet filibuster,
Wednesday adopted steam roller
methods and damned through the
House without debate the Shepherd
Barley bill, closing all the saloons
in the District of Columbia on the
date mentioned. The vote was 273 to
1877. The same bill has passed the
Senate, and all it now needs to become
law is President Wilson's approval.
1t is generally understood that the
President will sign the measure.
