and ran to his barn.
His wife disappeared toward the

WASHINGTON, Saturday, Feb 1O.-Germany is un- dersood here to have addressed to the United States communication suggesting that the two governments dis cuss ways and means of preventing actual between the two powers
 While information regarding the channel through which the communication addressed lacking, 1t IS probable that it is being forwarded by the gOvernmne of Switzerland as the Swiss in charge of German dplo matc affairs here.
 Germany is understood to have made it clear that a though diplomatic relations have been broken she greatly desires that peace shall be maintained.
 Foundation for belief in Gelmanys desire to main tain friendly relations long possible is seen in the fact that although she has inflicted fearful losses she has not prosecuted unrestricted submarine warfare to the degree of fghtfulness which at first anticipated some of the submarine commanders going out Of their way to prevent needless loss of life after Obeng their or dels to shoot without warning within the forbidden zone

WAR WARNING SOUNDED BY
 EXPIRES. TAFT
Next Explosion Will be World Wide, no Room
 For Neutrals

NEW YORK, Saturday, Feb. 10.- "We have been facing war and now we are on the brink of it," was the solemn spoken declaration made yes terday by Taft in a speech at the Hotel AStor.
 In his address on the present situa- ton Taft spoke ironically of the American people sitting back in rocking chairs when the great Euro pean conflict came"
 His endorsement of compulsory military training brought forth loud applause.
 "Call it conscription if you will but we need it," exclaimed the speaker.
 Taft also took occasion to call at tention to the peril in the far east, of which he is particularly aware through his close connection with oriental affairs while governor gener- al of the Philippines.
 "It is believed that we Americans have cause to fear a menace from the Far East" he said "We own the Hawaiin islands and the largest ele- ment of their population is 70,0OO Japanese, many of whom have served in the Japanese army. We have a force of 5000 men in the islands.
 Taft concluded with the following reference to the relation of the U. S. to Asia.
 "In the Philippines we have S,0O0,- 900 people who owe their allegiance to the United States and to whom we owe protection. They are under the caves of Asia and they therefore make us an Assiatic power.
 "Next comes our relation with China and Japan. We yearn for Chinese and Japanese trade but not Chinese and Japanese people. The Japanese don't like that.
 "President Wilson says in the next war we will not be neutral. That is probably true. In the next war the explosion will be world wide and there will be no room for neutraIS."

TIPPERARY NOT SUCH A LONG
 WAY" AS RENAL
Took Four Months For Reply to Reach Here
 From the Inlet

Reply to letter to the island or MauritiuS, the FalklandS, Zululand, Fiji, or Borneo can be had as quickly as a registered letter sent to Kenai less than 75 miles distant from Sew ard. This fact was demonstrated yesterday when the firm of Morford & Finnegan received a legal inStru- ment from Emil Berg at Kenai, which was mailed to him in October with in- StructionS to rush an answer.
 October, November, December, January, February, and the rushed" answer arrived.
 Atty. Finnegan says he could have done much better had he started in and broken a new trail over the hills from the head of the bay and taken the letter in person.
 The letter has to do with a suit brought by Emil Berg against the Columbia Salmon company for SS,000 as the result of a case brought against Berg by the company last year which was won by him after a trial here.
 It is suggested by the attorneys that those interested in the proposal of the forestry department to open up a trail down the river from Roosevelt to Kenai, clip this story out for re- ference.
