ALL SHIPS NOW TO BE SUNK ON
SIGHT.

Amsterdam.-All periods of grace
announced as prohibited by Germany
have now expired according to a Ber-
lin official statement received here.
The statement says that immunity
ceased in respect to the Atlantic and
English Channel zones on the night
of February u, for the North Sea
zone on February 6, and for the
Mediterranean zone on February 10.
II continues:
From now on, therefore, in all pro-
hibited zones the warning which has
been issued is in full force and ship
ping can no longer expect individual
warning Vessels which enter the
prohibited areas do so with a full
knowledge of the dangers threatening
them and their crews. 1t is expressly
stated that all news spread from
enemy sources about any torpedoing
OF neutral ships without previous
warning, before the dates mentioned
for the various prohibited areas, is in
correct.
1.-THE periods of grace mentioned
were also in force for enemy passen-
ger vessels, because it was possible
that they were carrying neutral pas
gengers, who were, perhaps, ignorant
OF the new blockade regulations.

1t develops that no message has been
received at the State Department since
the break with Germany from either
Ambassador Elkus, in Constant1nOple,
or from Consul-General Murphy, in
Sofia, who cared for American inter

to and from both points must 90

Would Open Ports To WarshiPs.
Senator Salisbury, OF Delaware,
President pro tempore Of the Senate
and a majority member Of the Foreign
Relations Committee, introduced bill
in the Senate which would throw
down neutrality bars to Harships Of
the Entente Allies and open all ports,
harbors and territorial waters of the
United States to their warships and
other vessels as freely as in times of
peace.
Designed as measure short Of &C
tual war, termed to discourage the VIC
lation of international law at sea"
the bill was proposed after long DELHI
Grafton and consultation by Senator
Salisbury with some Of his colleagues
and officials of the Government.
Whether he had consulted or had the
approval Of the President was not
disclosed There was no discussion of
the bill in the Senate and it was re-
ferred to the Foreign Relations Com
mittee.
Puzzled BY BerIin's Denial.
Officials were somewhat puzzled at a
Berlin dispatch saying 1t had been au-
thoritatively denied there that Ger
many had made any effort for further
negotiations on the submarine issue.
In view Of the representations made to
the department Saturday on Germany's
behalf by the Swiss Minister, who
stated he acted upon Germany's re-
quest through his Government, there
was an inclination here to believe that
the Berlin story had been put out
either for its effect on German public
opinion or to deny sensational versions
of the affair which might have reached
the German people.

Berlin. 1t is absolutely denied
here that Germany, in a note to the
United States, or through other me-
diums, is inviting suggestions for the
avoidance of actual war
1t is reiterated that the Imperial
Government is not permitting doubts
In any quarters regarding the position
actively assumed in the U-boat war
fare, and that there can be no talk
or thought of recession from the pro-
gram already being carried out.
In view of this, it is declared in
authoritative circles that any further
parley or exchange Of notes with the
United States may be dismissed as
unwarranted and improbable.
The origin of the report is ascribed
to the recent announcement, made
through the Swiss Government, that
Germany was willing to negotiate re-
specting the amended treaty of 1893.

The Empire Pipeless
Heater is The Best.

DO not be talked into putting in any other Pipeless
Heater than the Empire Pipeess. There are SO many
reasons for installing the Empire that you Will not GO
yourself justice unless you investigate the Empire De-
fore installing any other.
THE EMPIRE PIPELESS HEATER Is MADE
HEAVIER THAN OTHERS
THE MATERIAL FROM WHICH 1T IS MADE Is
THE VERY BEST, FOR EVERY ONE KNOWS THE
QUALITY OF THE RED CROSS LINE OF STOVES
AND RANGES AND THE EMPIRE Is MADE BA
THE SAME MAKERS.
THE CONSTRUCTION is UNSURPASSED AS
THE COOPERATIVE FOUNDRY HAVE BEEN
ACKNOWLEDGMENT THE LEADING FURNACE
MANUFACTURERS IN THE COUNTRY.
IT Is INSTALLED BY y PRACTICAL HEATING
FIRM AS WE HAVE TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF
PRACTICAL HEATING EXPERIENCE TO BACK
IT Up. A FACT THAT SHOULD APPEAL TO
THE AVERAGE PERSON.
THE OVERSIZE RADIATOR MEANS MORE
HEAT WITH LESS FUEL.
AND LAST But NOT LEAST 1T IS CHEAPER
THAN ANY OTHER.
Now do YOU think that you should install any other
without first considering the Empire Plpeless Heater,
when YOU can Get better furnace, have 1t nstalled
better and at the same time save a lot OF money
ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING TO CONSIDER
is THAT WE HAVE TWO MORE SIZES Than
THE AVERAGE LINE. YOU THEREFORE, AXE
ABLE TO GET THE EXACT SIZE THAT 1OU
NEED FOR YOUR HOUSE. YOU DO NOT HAVE
TO PAY FOR A FURNACE THAT is LARGER
THAN NECESSARY.
At the present we have installed NINETEEN OF
these Heaters this winter OF have stated
in previous advertisements this does not compare i
orabv with what our competitors have installed Dut
the Heating Business is only small part OF our bs
ness and WE HAVE NOT SOLICITED A SlNGLE
HEATER, WHAT WE HAVE INSTALLED HAVE
BEEN SOLD BY PEOPLE COMING TO The
STORE AND ORDERING SAME.
WE HAVE NEVER TAKEN OUT A SINGLE
FURNACE-WE HAVE NOT INSTALLED
SINGLE ONE THAT HAS NOT BEEN PERF'ECIL4
SATISFACTORY TO THE USER-WE HAVE
GUARANTEED EVERY ONE-AND WE HAVE
NEVER CHANGED THE POSITION OF ANY POI
IN NOR HAVE ANY OF OUR CUSTOMERS EVER
HAD TO MAKE ANY CHANGES IN THEIR HOue-
Els IF THE HOUSE is NOT ADAPTED Tt2
PIPELESS HEATER WE TELL THE PARTY ~.
OF course we say that will never take one out
as no one is nfallible but if you are considering a
Pipeless Heater you will get the benefit of our long
heating experience,
