Her husband had just come home
and had his first meeting with the
new nurse, who was remarkably pret-

"She is sensible and scientific, too"
urged the fond mother, "and says she

"No one would want to-" replied the

were wounded in the Davidson county
court house this morning at the trial
of case in the circuit court in which

After his wife had been granted a
divorce, Tompllins filed suit for $4,000
damages against the Hoffstetter broth
ers and their sister Miss Emma Hoff-
stetter. The case was postponed to-
day because of Tompkins' counsel
withdrawing.
Because the party was leaving the

Hoffstetter in the arm. A third struck
Mrs. Bevington, a bystander, in the
leg. Before he fell, Will Hoffstetter
stabbed TompkinS.

DEFENSE COUNCIL
PLEADS FOR ALIENS
Must Be Proven Disloyal Before
Loyalty Can Be Questioned,
Appeal Says.

Washington, Feb. 28-The council of
national defense today issued an appeal
to the people Of the United States to
show every consideration in the pres
ent international! situation to Nliens re-
siding in this country
"The presence here at this time of
perhaps 100000 aliens is deeply and
soberly to be weighed, not only in our
interests, but in their own" says the
statement. Emphasizing anew our
national doctrines of tolerance and per-
sonal liberty of holding all persons
within the land to be loyal unless by
their own acts they shall prove the con-
trary, we call upon all citizens, il un-
toward events should come upon us, to
present to these aliens, the attitude Of
neither suspicion nor aggressiveness
ANY other course is unworthy of our
traditions, and against our public policy
and the free flow of governmental af-
fairs"

AmAzED AT
CHANCEL-L0R'S
STATEMEN

Washington, d. c.. March Sur
prise, bordering on indignation. was
voiced today over Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg's speech to the
are amazed that the chancellor should
seek further to confuse German-Amer-
lean relations with a series of state
ments which they say are palpably
opposed to the most obvious events OF
recent history.
The chancellor's statement that the
United States severed relations
.brusquely," is viewed as too absurd
for discussion. 1t is pointed out thas
the American correspondence had plain
ly threatened such action; that Count
Won Bernstorff had said for several
days beforehand that he expected to be
dismissed, and that the German gov.
the coming break by sending out orders
to dismantle it's merchant ships in this
country.
1t also was pointed out that while
the United States delayed three days In
taking the action it had clearly fore
put into effect its campaign of ruth
lessness on eight hours notice, after
months of assurance that she had no
intention Of taking such step.
The statement that Germany in her
Sussex note reserved a new course OF
action is declared wholly unjustified.
The United States specifically refused
to accept that condition and in default
of any reply from Germany was justi-
fled in believing that Germany adhered
to her point Of view. In diplomacy the
last note between two nations is the
binding note and stands in all particu-
lars until 1t is denied by one or the
other.
The chancellor's complaint that he
received only Reuter- dispatches and a
verbal statement to the foreign minister
as to the causes of the break, recalls
that note setting out the reasons for
the action of the United States was
handed to Count Won Bernstorff with
his passports.
The statement condemning President
Wilson for announcing an embargo on
arms to Mexico and not to Europe was
dismissed as absurd and incorrect. The
cases are held to be in no way parallel
as Mexico was in civil war.

from New York February IA In order
to avoid the danger of the submarine

was decided by the British admiralty
to nave her to put into this port for the
customary search of passengers and
cargo. In order to prevent the German
officials aboard from gaining knoy7-
ledge of the submarine defenses, the
steamer was not permitted to enter
port until dark.
All communication with shore was
supervised and guarded boats kept un-
official craft at distance.
1t was understood that some Of the
British examiners were puzzled as to
the marked popularity shown by Ger
mans for cotton pajamas. So many
pajamas beyond the requirements Of
the average traveller were found, and
as it is understood there is a shortage
of cotton for tile manufacture of cer-
tain war supplies in Germany. it was
decided to reduce the wardrobes.

incidents nothing suspicious was found

Mr.. Hale during three weeks spent

To Help in Peace.
II talked with Lloyd-George in Lon

added that he wanted to see America
take a prominent part in the peace ne
gotiations at the end of the conflict.
II also saw Premier BRAND in Paris
and he said the entry of America into
the fight against the central powers
would have great moral and practical
effect toward bringing about peace.
The prevailing sentiment among
leading officials in both countries was
that we could help with conveys and
with credits. The opinion was ex-
pressed that We're the United States

great moral effect

to provide properly trained gunners
from the navy to handle the guns pro-
vided for American merchant vessels.
The ships of his line, he said could be
fitted with guns at their pier with lit
tie delay as the mountings and plates
were already in place.
passenger traffic on ali British v Vessels
leaving England for America and
France has been suspended, were
brought here today by passengers, who
arrived on the steamer Finland, the last
American line boat to leave Liverpool
and the third unit Of this fleet to sail
from that port after Germany's pro-
clamation of unrestricted submarine
warfare.
James F. Egan, of Philadelphia, and
ROBERT Wilson, OF New York, European
representatives Of large American
business interests, said that before
leaving England they had been in
formed on what they considered reliable
authority that the British admiralty
had decided to employ all vessels, pass
enger carriers as we'll as freighters,
solely for transporting supplies or
moving troops.
Scandinavian and Dutch passenger
ships to America no longer stop at
British ports but avoid the submarine
zone by making Halifax their port of
call. Consequently, if the report of the
Finland's passengers is correct, no
passengers can now reach the United
States from England, unless American
liners sail from this country to fetch
| them.

Berlin. (via Londonl, March 1.-The
prominence which Chancellor Won Beth
mann -Hollweg gave in his address to
the reichstag today to discussion of re-
lations with the United States is re-
garded here as Indicating his purpose
to prepare the German public for the
eventuality which is looked forward to
in many quarters. There was much con-
fusion of opinions and prophecies on
this point today on account of the
continued absence of authenticated
news from Washington as we'll as the
reports which are being considered in
regard to the state of public opinion
in America
The German press continues to serve
up fragmentary but sensational bulle-
tins indicating feverish war prepara-
tions in the United States. At this
hour it may be said declaration of
war from Washington would find he
German mind quite prepared for it.
Less of a ripple would be caused here
than was occasioned by RuiIlania's en-
trance into the war and a fina! break
with the United States would be likely
to meet with stoical indifference SO far
as the public at large is concerned.
There is no feeling that a crisis is at
hand, but merely an oninous tension
which has been gathering intensity.
