been put forward many times before,
by others; but here it was directly and
unQualifiedly fathered by the emperer
himself. In one draft of the letter he
said that he had knowledge" and in
later draft, that he had news" Of
Frances impending invasion of Ger
many by way of Belgium. 1t does not
matter which word is used. We can
not assume an emperor to act in so
grave q matter upon news which he
does not know to be true.
Mark the sequel. The chief OF the
supplementary general staff OF the
German army, n person whose impos-
ing name and titles we may abbreviate
to Lieut.. Gen. Baron Won Freytag-
Loringhoven, now declares that Ger
may had no such knowledge Of
French intentions, and that such was
not the reason for Germanys invas-
ion of Belgium. France, he admits,
had no thot of invading Germany thru
Belgium. She did not mass her troops
on the Belgian frontier, but on that
of Alsace- Lorraine for n direct invas-
ion of Germany. And It was thus not
because France was preparing to in
wade thru Belgium, but, on the exact
contrary, because she was not prepar-
ing to do so, that Germany committed
her rape OF that neutral country. 1t
was not in self-defense. to block q
blow from France in that quarter, that
Germany overran Belgium; but It was
bit OF sharp practice 10 take France
by surprise by attacking her in n
quarter in which, vainly trusting to
the sanctity OF treaties, sho had made
no preparation even for defense.
Now to put the matter bluntly-
and Of course, soldiers like the kaiser
and Lieutenant General Baronf etc,
always prefer blunt, direct speech

Mr.. Gerard made public the other
day the text of a personal letter or
statement, addressed by the German
emperor to the president OF the
United States. In that document the
emperor declared, directly and un-

that France was preparing to invade

WFE'S TROUBLE
COST HIM $4,000
Mrs. French Was in Danger
of Complete Breakdown,
Says Her Husband.
DESPONDENT OVER TROUBLE
Just a Few Bottles of Tanlac
Restored Her HEALTH"
French Declares.

AFTER l spent over two thousand
collars for medicine for my wife with
out DONG her any good. IL sure does
seem wonderful to me that Just few
bottles of Tanlac have restored her
to health again" is the remarkable
statement made a few days ago by
Harry G, French. who resides at 2iv
La.-Branch street. Houston. Texas
Several months ago" he contin-
ued, "my wife's health failed. she tu.,
her appetite and. before | realized il,
her condition had gotten TO be so bad
that she was in danger OF a complete
breakdown. What little she forced
herself to eat disagreed with her and
she suffered agonies from the gas that
rose from the undigested food in her
stomach. She was badly constipated
and suffered from such terrible neau-
aches that her nervous system went
all TO pieces and she couldn't siee..
more than half the night. She wor-
ried so much over her condition and
became so despondent that she would
hardly speak a dozen words during
the day
Il got several specialists TO pre-
scribe for her and got her to ianv
many different medicines and posi-
lively nothing did her the least good
but Tanlac. Soon after she started
on her first bottle / noticed that sne
vas picking up and getting to be more
cheerful and she has continued to i'm
prove right along ever since. She eats
anything she wants now and II all
agrees with her, she talks and laughs
most all the time and is always I'm
a sodd humor. She sleeps like cnIiu
and nothing worries her at ALL In
fact. she is entirely like different
person."

Why We Nod YES and shake NO

Why We Nod Yes and Shake NO.
The question, why do we shake our
heads when we mean mo- and nod or
bow them when we mean YES" Is
Very easily answered. These actions
originate In infancy. The baby turns
its head away to prevent disagreeable
things from getting into Its mouth.
II it Is not hungry 1t will turn its
head from side to side to avoid the
nipple.
In time this shaking OF the head
becomes associated with disagreea Bile
things and unwelcome thots. In like
manner the nod originated In the mo-
ton OF the infants head to take food.
After the child had words to express
its desires the nod and shake re-
mained to express approval or disap-
proval. In addition tothis fundamental
cause mimicry helps to perpetuate
the action. ".

JITNEY SUBMARINE IS
USED BY GERMANS
Dutch Skipper Held Up January 80
by One Much Smaller Than Old
Type. He Reports.

New York. March s.-A new type
Of submarine. much smaller than the
U-boats Germany has been using
since the outbreak Of the war, is be-
ing used in the restricted waters
around Great Britain, according to
omcers Of the Dutch freight steam
ship Boomberg, which arrived .yester-
day.
One Of the officers of the ship said
that when the vessel, on her way
from Penarth. Wales. with coal for
Las Palmas. in the Canaries, wss
about forty-hvs miles southeast of
the Scilly Islands on January 80 she
was stopped by two shots fred by q
submarine.
At the order Of the German COM
mander boat was lowered from the
Dutch freighter and her papers were
sent to the submersible. The subma.
rine differed greatly from any of the
others, which the ships officers had
seen. 1t appeared mere baby be-
side the huge U-boats. There ap-
peared to be hardly any deck space.
After the German commander in
spected the papers he returned them,
saying grimly:
you were lucky to have met US
today. We will let you go this time,
but don't come back to these waters
again."
