Boston Physician who has studied widely
both in this country and in Great Eu-

matter of fact, real and true strength
can only come from the food you eat.
But people often fail to get the strength
out of their food because they haven't
enough iron in their blood to enable 1t
to change food into living matter. From
their weakened, nervous condition they
know something is wrong but they can't
tell what, so they generally commence

with Harry King, w. c. Sullivan. Charles
W. Clagget. S. T. Cameron, Claude f.
Miller, William H. Saunders and Nathan
B. Williams taking part in the discus
sion. The vote was substantially to ac-
cept the adverse report of the local COM
mittee on referendum against the recon-
mendation.
On the seven other recommendations
to provide $500 100000 necessary for
war expenses. the committee supported
the national body. The provision were
as follows:

DAIRY PURE FOOD CASES
GO OVER TILL OCTOBER

Until next October the Health Depart
ment will not be able to know lust what
authority it has over dairymen who
bring milk into the District from unli-
eensed farms. This happens because of
the failure OF both sides to file at earlier
dates their briefs in the milk cases now
pending before the Court OF Appeals.
FOR the past year the question of ju-
risdictton has blocked the prosecution OF
alleged Violators of the milk laws. The
spring term OF the court ends shortly and
the cases now pending will have to wait
until the court convenes again after the
summer recess.
In Police Court yesterday, Henry Oil
YER Great Falls. Va. dairyman, was
nned SIS on charges of watering milk.

euted the cases. Harry J.. Mulligan ap-

GERARD'SRETURN
ISPUzzLEFOR u.s..
Ambassador May Be Held
in Berlin Until Bern
stOrff Gets Guarantee

Washington. Feb. 4.-Thc foremost
collateral problem with which the state
Department is concerned at this mo-
mcnt is the return Of Ambassador
Gerard and his suite and of the 1000
Americans in Germany TO this country.
State Department officials worked all
day on this question to-day. and at the
end were not sure they had found
solution.
The British government has been
asked to furnish safe conduct for Am
haSsador Won Bernstorff and his family
and suite. The Spanish government
has been or will be asked to obtain
from Germany the necessary assur-
ances for the safe passage out OF Ger
many and through the German war
zone of Ambassador Gerard and the
Americans who desire to leave Ger
many. .,
There are obstacles in the path of all
these efforts. II is foreseen that the
British government will not he willing
to issue safe conducts for the German
Ambassador and his suite without max
ing it a condition that their ship call at
Kirkwall. This means passing through
the German war zone, and n is possible
that Germany will refuse consent to
this condition.

dcating the position he took last April
says:
There seems to be no present proba-
bilty that Germany will hold out her
hand in order to preserve peace with
the United States. The Chancellor's
speech points all the other Say. The
question of interest, therefore, is not
50 much whether America will JOIN IN
the war. but what will happen when she
does"
"The Daily Mail" remarks the pa
thence with which President Wilson has
acted throughout the controversy. II
says his patience was that of man
who was infexible, determined to pur-
sue course he knew was right. The
newspaper adds that Americans will
now see. however, that his patience has
only encouraged "Prussian arrogance"
"The Times" says: 1.-THE act of Presi-
dent Wilson is an event of measureless
importance in the history of mankind.
Whatever the immediate consequences
of the breach. a new chapter is opened
for the New World and the Old For
the first time since il became a great
power the United States has directly
INTERVIEWED in European war-a
course pregnant with untold results
hereafter"
"The Daily Telegraph" says: "The
action forced upon Washington by
Germany is long step in the direc-
ton of war. The remaining steps may
never be taken, but it is sufficiently
clear that both the government and
the people of the United States are
ready to take them if the defence Of
their rights demands it."
THE Daily News" sees only a slender
prospect that war between the United
States and Germany will be averted
and believes that if it comes substan-
tial advantages for the Allies will i'm
mediately accrue
