Shamokin Woman Among
Americans to Remain in
Germany For Present

Berlin, Feb. T. via London, Feb. g..
- The breach of diplomatic relations
between the United States and Ger
many has discovered the fact that
there are some four hundred native
or naturalized Americans in Berlin,
a large majority of whom have ap-
piled to the United States embassy
for passports or alterations permit
ting them to leave Germany for
Switzerland or Scandinavia. About
one-fourth of the total are Americans
temporarily in Germany on business
or to study. The other three -fourths
are tiher naturalized citizens or the
children of such who rushed to the
embassy at the eleventh hour to Sc
cure papers establishing their status
after the departure of the American
representatives.
The list of those who have an
nounced their intention to remain in
Germany for the time being includes
Miss Agnes Schneider, Shamokin, Pa
The American newspaper cores
pondents are still lingering in Berlin
though some applications have been
made to leave on Ambassador Ger
ards train. Other correspondents
plan to remain for the time being
and leave later for Copenhagen and
Switzerland.
Secretary Grew, of the United
States embassy has presented to the
foreign office long list of Americans
who have applied for permission to
leave with Ambassador Gerard and
whose applications have been approx
ed by the ambassador. The applica-
tions must, however, be passed upon

Brazil Will Hold Kaiser
Responsible For Results
of Ruthless U-Boat Wa

Rio Janeiro, Feb. 8. Brazil's
reply to the German note, to be made
public tomorrow, will in terms polite
but firm declare BraZil's intention to
hold Germany responsible for conse-
quences which may result from the
new submarine warfare.
The reply expresses the desire of
the Brazilian government not to be
compelled to break the amicable re-
lations it always has maintained with
Germany a fact, however, which will
not prevent Brazil from taking meas
ures of protection and from protesting
against the menace to Brazilian COM
merce and navigation contained in the
note of the Imperial government con-
cerning measures for the marine
blockade.
Brazil bases its protest upon the fol-
lowing four fundamental principles:
First, the extensioi nof an mad
missable blockade second, the un-
eXpectedness of the communication,
which gives only the short interval of
five days before the putting into op-
GRAFTON of submarine measures against
any and all vessels, a fact which pre-
vents Brazil from adopting measures
with regard to several Brazilian ships
now at sea or anchored in foreign
ports; third, the ignoring of all rules
established by international law and
the principles set forth in solemn
treaties and conventions, the sigma
tories of which are Brazil and Ger
many herself; fourth, Brazil's objec-
tiions to the declaration that no coun-
try should dissent from Germany's
purpose to employ all means to rem
der effective her blockade under the
conditions mentioned in her note.

FRESH SELLING is
INDUCED By U-BOATS
Early Recessions Do Not Tend Beyond Fractons Bethe
hem Sole Exception With Drop of 31a; Rails Better
and Equipments Improve

New York, Feb. s. - Moderate
unsettlement was shown by the mar
ket at to-day's opening, overnight de-
velopments, particularly Germany's
submarine activities, inducing fresh
selling. For the most part early re-
cessions did not tend beyond frac-
tions. Noteworthy exceptions were
Bethlehem Steel, new stock, which fell
3 u points with loss of L Il for the
rights" and two points for Texas
Company, International Paper and
Allis Chalmers pfd. Rails were better,
Canadian Pacific recovering 2 points
with l for st. Paul. y. S. Steel and
equipment were disposed to improve.
The entire list reacted later, however,
on heaviness of shippings.
The setback in shippings was con-
current with another advance in in
further reversal in rails, high grade
issues yielding to lowest levels of the
present movement. Canadian Pacific
lost all its early recovery but strength
ened again later. Bethlehem Steel
added "a points to it's initial loss and
the old stock fell 16 points with an
extreme decline of over two points in
United States Steel. Coppers and
Specialties of practically all descrip-
ions were down to points. Lower
prices were registered at noon, some
issues then Verging upon weakness.
International bonds were lower.

Conscientious Beggar
Refuses to 'Put One
Over" on a Woman

A professional beggar with a con-
science is the latest lind in this city.
John Yates, secretary of the Asso-
ciated Aid Society, to-day told of a pro =
fessional beggar who refuses to put
one over" on a woman.
The beggar who gave his name as
Albert Goshen applied at the aids about
week ago for assistance, but as he
was of healthy appearance he was re-
fused help. Secretary Yates told him
that over 800 small children depended
upon the society for assistance and
that he was robbing them. Goshen
stated that rather than rob children
he would do anything. He also said
that he had been in the habit of trying
to work" charitable societies, but
never when a woman was in charge.
ST have been at the rooms of the So
ciety four times, but always found a
woman in charge and never solicited
aid" he said.
Secretary Yates secured employment
for the man at the Harrisburg Pipe
and Pipe Bending Works and he went
to work last Monday. lie worked un-
til Saturday when he received his pay.
He went to his clearinghouse in Wal
nut street, paid his board in full and
then disappeared.

Mrs. Visconti Gives Name

Washington, Feb. s. When the

on who gave her the information on
which she reported to Thomas wv.
Lawson that Secretary Tumulty and
others had profted in the stock mar
ket on advonce information of Presi-
dent Wilson's peace note, she declined
to answer in public on the grounds
of her constitutional rights" but Of
fered to testify in secret session. She
did say, however, it was no one in OFF,
cial life. The committee went in an
executive session to consider it.
Mrs. Visconti finally gave the name
of her informant to the committee in
confidence, writing it upon a piece of
paper, but with the understanding
that the committee may, if 1t deems
advisable, later make the name public.
She was then excused temporary while
w. w. Price, q correspondent who she
told Lawson acted as a go-between for
Tumulty, was recalled to the stand.
Counsel Whipple questioned Price
about his conversations with Secre-
tary Tumulty from December Is to
December 20, "the peace note leak
period"
did you at any time between De-
cember is and December 20 have any
conversation with Secretary Tumulty
on the matter of the Presidents peace
note?" he asked.

Utah Rotarian Says
Japan Is Planning
Invasion Of Country

Philadelphia Feb. S.-Japanese I'M
migration into the western part of the
United States constitutes real men,
ace" according to George Q. Rolf,
president of the Rotary Club of Salt
Lake City, who yesterday addressed
the members of the Rotary Club of
Philadelphia at their weekly luncheon
at the Adelphia Hotel. Glenn G. Mead
was chairman of the meeting. DR.. Au-
gustus Koenig, president of the club,
announced ladies' right will be held
at the Bellevue -Stratford Hotel on
Lincoln's Birthday.
MIR. Rolf, who has made repeated
efforts to have the government con-
struct national highway with a con-
crete base largely for military pur-
poses, was emphatic in declaring such
a highway necessity.
The west coast is being filled with
reSerVists of the Japanese army" he
declared. In the lower part of Can
ada there are more than 100000 vet
Grams of the Japanese army. In the
State of California alone there are
more trained Japanese soldiers than
the full complement of the United
States Army.
There is no denying that there is a
problem. Army and navy officers will
discuss 1t and have. Because of re-
strictions from Washington-where
they went to do all of the talking
these men cannot come forward to tell
the people. We have been advocating
this national highway with a concrete
base so that one military factor might
be taken care of.
THE section hands of the trans
continental railways in the West are
largely Japanese and they could Grip
pie the transportation systems COM
pletely. That is where the highway
would come in. over it, in the auto
mobiles that could be Communicated,
an army could be transported.
Utah'S Resources
And it could be built by one-third
of tho money taken from the pork
barrel TO build useless postoffices and
public buildings and harbo~ and river
improvements. We think in the West
that it would be a fine thing and that
military officials should plan it.
Japan is prepared. She has a sys-
tenn worked out in detail whereby an
army of 26S.000 men in warships and
transports could be brought from
Japan to this country in sixty-three
days. And we could not even raise
that number of men, let alone trans
port them"

Withdrawn or Modified
Her Note on U-Boat War

Washington. Eeb. s. - Austria has

note adhering to the German submar-

The possibility that a break with
Austria also can be avoide@ has prac-

differences in Austra's situation, her
strict adhesion to the principles enun-

this government and in other COM

Officials who have been hoping that
a break might be avoided will give no
intimation as to why a definite an
nouncement is not made. This is taken
to indicate, however, that the small
hope remaining is being carefully

CURES CATARRH
Antiseptic Healing Wonderoil
Quickly Kills Catarrh Germs

Catarrhal troubles can be cured only
by an antiseptic treatment that cures
the catarrhal germs, that soothes and
heals the mucous membranes.
Apply antiseptic Wonderoil to the
nasal passages at night and while you
sleep the treatment does it's healing
work and at the same time kills ca
tarrhal germs. Its action is almost inn
mediate and one nights treatment will
give great relief.
You can buy an inexpensive package
from Geo. A. Gorgas with guarantee of
money back if it does not do all that
economical treatment for catarrh that
was ever known as one package Will
last for weeks. Every home should
have antiseptic Wonderoil as it is in
valuable for all cases of inflammation
