Entente Satisfied
With Allies It Has;
Any More in the Way

Petrograd, Feb. 8.-(Via London.)
-Petrograd newspapers fear that the
welfare of the entente allies might
be menaced seriously if small neutral
countries adopt President Wilson's
suggestion and follow the example of
the United States. The Bourse Ga
zette, whose attitude is typical, says
the trend of recent events should not
deaden the instinct of self-preserva-
ton among smaller nations. Their
policy, it contends, should be deter
mined by their geographical position.
II they joined the allies, this news
paper continues, that fact would
operate merely to extend the front,
entailing additional responsibility for
the allies,
Already the allies have sufficient
troops and the armies of the present
neutrals would be only burden, on
account OF the necessity of providing
them with munitions and provisions"
The Gazette cites the probability
that in the event Of hostilities, Hol-
land and Denmark would be occu-
pied by Germany, to the great strate-
gic advantage of the Germans, and
adds:
ALLIED diplomacy should notify
neutrals. that they enter the conflict
at the their own risk"

Il think it is not clear just what
hold the limitations OF submarines to
be in this war" said he.
"As it was on this subject tina, we
severed relations with Germany" he
said. I'VE should know as accurately
as possible just what the government

GERARD ASKED TO
SIGN OLD TREATIES
Ambassador Refers German
Foreign Office to Spanish
and Swiss Intermediates.
ON RIGHTS OF NATIONALS

Berlin, Feb. s (Via London The
German foreign office last night asked
James w. Gerard, the American am
bassador, to sign a proposal reaffirm-
ing the treaties of 1899 and 1928. The
ambassador referred the government
officials to Spanish and Swiss inter-
mediaries.
The treaties have reference to the
rights of nationals residing as mer-
chants in either country to continue
their residence there for nine months
for the purpose OF closing up their
business.
Not Able to Act.
Mr.. Gerard explained to Count
Montgelas, head of the American sec
ton of the foreign office, who pre-
sented the proposition to him, that
he was no longer in a position to ne
gotiate any diplomatic instrument,
Spain having taken over American in
terests in Germany He suggested
that way open for negotiations was
through the Swiss legation, which is
representing German interests at
Washington
The matter is of decided Importance
to Americans in Germany, since the
German governments course toward
them, particularly OH the question of
permission to leave the country will
be materially affected by the Ameri-
can governments view on these old
treaties between Prussia and the
United States. NJ
Approved by Department.
Washington, Feb. 8.-Ambassador
Gerard's refusal to enter into any
sort Of negotiations with the German
foreign Office is approved by the State
department as the only possible course
for him to pursue in view of his status
Of a private citizen. Any communi-
cation from the German government
regarding treaty or any other sub
iect would have to be carried out
through the Spanish or Swiss diplo-
matte representatives in Berlin, who
are looking after the interests Of
America in Germany.

"The
Battle Cry

The other night, when
l said l had never seen
this wonderful feature, it
was privately. shown to
me, and l want to 60 on
record as saying that it
is the biggest preachment
for preparedness, as well
as one of the most human
ly interesting film stories
| have ever seen.
It's not, simply a ''war"
story, IT'S A REAL
STORY, carrying a mes
sage to every man,
woman, boy and girl in
this beautiful land of
ours that A M ERICA
must be protected.
It's a story that will
appeal to the ladies as
well as the men, because
of the heart interest,
while the company por-
traying this wonderful
message could hardly be
improved upon, including
Charles Richmond, Norma
Talmadge, Mary Maurice,
Roger Lytton and thous-
ands of minor characters,
who make it without ques-
ton the most timely pic
ture before the public.
There are nine parts to
this production, but each
part is so interesting, so
vital that the entire Wis
ualization holds you en-
tranced from start to fin
ish, and it is over before
you know it. At least
that's the way ! felt about
it, and during the past
twelve years l have seen

In Match Against Throcknorton

Throckmorton romped through the
fourth set at 60, with Williams max
ing countless errors. Once more the
battle was all square; but then, as
though 70 set the seal on his greatness,
the rational champion won the last set
at 6-3, Keeling of amazing shots on
the full volley as he closed IN at the
net.
Niles trounced Griffin by the sound
est of deep court games, with keen
driving and wonderfully judged lobs
10 the base line as his weapons, but
the struggle was far closer than the
games score would indicate. Strachan
was victor over Garland by reason OF
greater experience and harder hitting.
