tinued Just As 1t Has Been Con-
Quoted Since February /.

Berlin, April 3, via London, April -
The press report OF President Wilson's
state of war" message reached Berlin
at ten o'clock this morning. 1t is de-
clared here that there would be no
change in the German attitude even if
Congress adopted President Wilson's
views Germany will not declare war nor
take any step TO wage war against the
United States. The submarine war will
be continued as it has been conducted
since February /. but this, declare the
officials, Is not directed more against the
United States than any other neutral.
It is also declared that there will be
no change in the treatment Of American
citizens in Germany who now have the
same freedom as all other neutrals. But
Germany expects that the United States
win continue the same treatment OF Ger
mans in that country.

The musicians say they left the house
and as they were going down the road
one OF their number began to churn his
accordion. They had left the Stewart
house in the distance when they heard a
revolver shot. followed almost instantly
by a whizzing noise. Looking back, ae-
cording to the story furnished the au-
thorities. they saw the respondent stand
ing on the steps Of his home with a
smoking pistol in his hand. The man,
they declare. was garbed in night clothes.

a complaint at police headquarters.

formulas and all that sort of thing, and I never tell anybody anything that do not know from personal experience as a housewife; they are the things that l have learned in my own way and give them for what they are worth. We all waste too much; especially at this time when every atom of food counts; when 1t Is worth almost it's weight in gold, when the cruel arm of war is calling for all our financial aid; it is the one thing that women can do to help our country, to help our soldiers, namely, conservation in every line of domestic economy. People often laugh when l say that I never have used a garbage can in all my housekeeping experience, and it is true, simply because I have nothing to put in it; I don't waste nay thing, neither do have refuse from my table; I calculate on just how much is needed and live within the bounds"
 "They told me up in Washington, Mrs. Jones said, that if I could preach the gospel of economy to the women Of the south and get them to give special attention to food waste at the present moment that it would be a great boon to the government. I find the women of Birmingham very much interested in such matters; that is, if I am to judge by my audiences. And the best part of 1t all is that they seem in earnest in their eff fort to want to learn and apply prac- tically the doctrines laid down to them, With pencil and pad they come to my lectures with dozens of questions to be asked and if have helped them to do their share of economizing, then I feel amply repaid"
