Don't Sail on Enemy Ships" to Be
Substance of German Document
to United States.

Washington, Jan. 31.-A warning to
Americans not to take passage on
ships armed by the enemies of the cen
trail powers. is expected here soon.
Whether the warning will be conveyed
to the state department through the
American embassy in Berlin or through
the German embassy in Washington is
not indicated.
For several weeks the German gov
eminent has been submitting represent
tations to the state department in
cases wherein II is asserted merchant
ships, armed ostensibly for defensive
purposes, have attacked German sub
marines.
Reports that Great Britain and her
allies were considering placing still
heavier armament upon their merchant
ships have been regarded in German
quarters as forecasting fights 10 fin
ish between armed merchantmen of the
entente allies and submarines of the
central powers, with the resumption of
naval operations In the spring.
London, Jan. 3l.-The Times says II
is authorized TO state that the allega-
ton that Great Britain is preparing to
arm merchantmen with guns forward
as well as astern is untrue.

ter.
II developed that Doctor Grayson
once withdrew" from an examination
for acting assistant surgeon. He said
he presented himself, but theAexamina-
ton was more than he anticipated, and
so he withdrew" He applied then for
examination as hospital steward, but
this examination, too, seemed q little
hard especially the chemistry" So he
withdrew" from that one, too. Later
on he was commissioned acting assist
ant surgeon in July, 1903.
Senator PoindeXter said he opposed
having an officer jumped over the heads
of 1870 others. The senator said the

WALL STREET HAD TIP
BROKER TSSTiFlES NE RECEIVED
WARNING OF NOTE.
Baruch Says His Profits Amounted to
$476, 1863 in Period Covered by the
information.

New York, Jan. 31.-Bernard Baruch,
Wall street speculator, $4,000 con-
tributor to the last Democratic cam

the stormy days preceding the issu-
ance of President Wilson's recent
peace note, testified at the leak" in
quiry that his profits on the market
between December 10 and December
23 were $476,16S.
Every cent Of this profit, he declared,
was due to his foresight in interpret
ing speeches by Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg and David Lloyd-Gecrse
as meaning peace was coming.
Not single transaction he made, he
said, was influenced by advance infor-
nation that the president was about
to dispatch peace note. He received
no such information, he said, and add
ed that he had no secret sources of In
formation in Washington, on which
he based any of his stock operations.
AS proof of his assertion that he
was unaware that note was forth
coming from the president, he was on
the buying side of the market when
news of 1t became public, he said.
Neither he nor any othor man would
have been caught in such position,
he declared, if he had foreseen the
note.
Baruch also pointed out several 9th
er errors he made on the market dur
ing the 13-days' period of his profit
taking. On several occasions he was
forced to sell stocks Mt loss, he testi-
fed, and finally. on the day before
the presidents note was made public,
he overlooked the Dow, Jones & Co.
ticker "tip" which he had in his office
that a note was expected.
Il covered that day he said, 'and
l am sorry | did,
Testifying that during the leak
period he had called up Secretary Nc
Adoo. Baruch explained thar he had
done so at the instance Of Col b. Nj.
House, President Wilson'S adviser, to
suggest to the secretary the name of a
man to fill a vacancy in the board of
the Federal Reserve bank of New
York. He said that Colonel House
had called him on the telephone and
said: There is a vacancy in the Fed
eral Reserve bank. | don't know any
thing about those fellows down there.
| Won't you suggest a nameT Baruch
said he did so. Colonel House consid-
cred the name satisfactory, and asked
him to suggest it TO Secretary Nc
| Adoo.

hours before the publication of the
note they were warned of its coming
by f. A. Connolly & Co, their Wash

President Wilson, is n member of the
firm of f. A. CoDnelly & Go.
Mr.. Connolly left Washington for

dined with Count Won Bernstorif, Mr..
