Not A Pantry

Don't think the Hoosier is only a

pantry, cupboard and large kitchen

Some women think pantry and
cupboard give all the convenience

know that you must walk endlessly

W y SH | NGTON. March 2i.-rhc
United States has formally refused
Germany's request to modcrnizc and
extend the old Prussian American
treaties OF 1899 and 1928. The state
Department has replied through Or.
Paul Ritter. Swiss minister here. in
charge Of German interests. refusing
TO accept the protocol recently sent to
this government.
The reply states that the United
States. considering the treaties in force
in their original form. is unwilling to
accept Gcrmany's Interpretation. which
expanded the exemption from seizure
Of merchants and their effects" in
case Of war into general exemption
including enemy ships In port at the
outbreak of the war.
Moreover, all enemy nationals would
be free from internment and able to go
about their business, without the
slightest hindrancc. and not in the
restricted way mentioned in the org
inal treaties.
The United States will follow tho
spirit of the old treaties. and not in
terfcre with Germans her" who com
ply with the law.
The government Will undoubtedly, in
case OF war. cause Germans to register,
and possibly restrict their travel, with
out special permit. General inform
ment Is not being considered. 1t is
assumed on all sides that the great
mass OF the million ana a quarter Ger
mans in the United States will respect
their obligations as guests in this
country.
The war Department has secured
full details Of all the various prin-
ciplcs and practices put into effect in
other countries. and Is prepared to
