TREATY GUARDS ALL AMERICANS
 NOW IN BERLIN
Gerard Plans to Return to United States From
 Spanish Port.

Berlin, Feb. 5, via London-The tween the United States and Germany was made known here yesterday by newspaper dispatchea Ambassador Gerard's plans have not been defin- itely decided, though. it is believed he will return to the United States from a Spanish port. The plan to have American interests taken over by the Brazilian minister hds been abandon ed and 1t is not known who will rep resent America in Berlin after MT. Gerards departure.
 The Associated Press learns author itiyely that Germany will propose to Am bassador Gerard a special re-rati- fication of the Prussian-American treaties of 1779 and 1872, allowing nationals in case of. war nine months in which to settle their affairs and leave hostile countries. This step would positively insure Americans in Germany and Germans in America against interment if hostilities break out and would prevent a precipitate exodus, from either country such as was general in Europe when the war
 h began.
 A representative of the foreign of- flee pointed out to a correspondent of the Associated Press that ancient treaties between the United States and Prussia were still in effect and contained a clause, contrary to the usual rule, that they should not be invalidated by the outbreak of hos tilities..
 This official said that so far as he was informed Germany would cer- tainly hold to these, treaties and that there would be no question of intern ing Americans in Germany in case of war./
 In official quarters there seemed to be an anxiety to reassure the few Americans still here on the question of interment. Several of these Americans are in a highly difficult position with no prospective means of returning to the United States ex- cept by the trans-Siberian railroad or possibly by a roundabout route ghASwitzerland to Spain and by Spanish steamers to Cuba. Scores of Americans have applied since Wednesday for the necessary military permission to leave the country, but this involves a delay of at least a fortnight. Others, including long time residents whose entire interests are in Germany, plan to remain, no matter wha thappens.

 If your stomach doesn't take care of your liberal limit without rebellion; if your food is a damage instead of a help, remember the quickest, surest, most harmless relief is Pape's Diapep- sin, which costs only fifty cents for a large case at drug storas. It's truly wonderful-it digests food and sets things straight. so gently and easily hat it is astonishing. Please don't go on and on with a weak, disordered stomach; its so unnecessary

area of peaceful countryside con-
verified into a thriving urban COM

up-to-date city, buzzing with all
the conflicting activities of q reg
ular American city, and you have
picture of the British front as 1t
first impresses the visitor.
Struggling suburbs of the city
run into the devastated area, up
close to the firing line. Ruined

And in all its vast extent,

Tommy has named some of the
streets, and stuck up signs to en-
tighten transients. In various sec
lions he has given this city a great
number of Leicester SOS, and at
least At Piccadillys. When you
get over there will probably also
be Broadways and Fifth-avs.
There are plenty of more
useful street signs, too. They
read: .'Walking Wounded

Yes, the city boasts a Y. M. G.
A., which means also a public
library, billiard room and concert
hall. It also has movie show,
and a football field. There's a
hospital of course, and garage
or two, not to mention the off
GERS clubs, and tea rooms and can
teens.
Remember this was all empty
country a year ago, or was some
where behind the German lines.
This struggling boom town has
sprung by magic out Of country
fields and upon the ruins of
wrecked villages.
With all the permanent, thriv-

always moving forward. And its
ultimate destination, Tommy and
Sammy hope, is to substitute it
self for the suburbs of Berlin!
