Washington, March 15.-The attitude
of the American government towards
any German move towards a general
peace at the expense of Russia is di-
rectly in line with the expression OF
Lord Robert Cecil in the House OF
Commons that even II such a proposal
came from Germany 1t would not be
considered.
War Department officials are not
convinced that the Germans are ready
to undertake q big offensive on the
western front despite advanced notices
sent out from Germany. Whatever
Germany's program. however. America

a premature peace is as strong as 1t

NO GUARANTEE GOES

The Mayo Foundation OF Rochester

Hospital small supply OF vaccine
prepared for the purpose Of immuniz 'ne
persons against Influenza, pneumonia
grin and common colds. The medical
hoard of the Delaware Hospital feels
that this serum. since only Ilmlteo
supply has been received, should DC
adm mlnistered only to persons unusually
exposed TO conditions which produce

The hospital will be glad to admin

serum TO such persons who may apply
FOR II in the morning between 3 and u
O'Clock or in the eevning between 6.5l

II should be understood that no

ton will actually prevent the diseases

The experience with its use, however,
indicates favorable results
The following is a letter received

"The MAYO Foundation For Medical
Education and Research, Rochester
Minnesota
I'VE are sending you. as per your
request, a quantity OF Vaccine Tor
prophylactic inoculation against pneu-
monla and influenza.
This vaccine is prepared from pre-
umococci OF the various types, and
from pneumococcl, streptococci and IN
fluenza bacilli as Isolated from the
sputa and lungs OF cases during the
present epidemic OF influenza and pneu-
monia. II is believed that inocula-
tions OF those organisms Will confer
degree OF immunity which should lower
preclpitable the Incidence OF respira-
tory Infections such as are occurring
at this time. Heretofore brOncho-
pneumonia and pneumonia have been
prevalent for some months following
epidemics OF Influenza. This is par
ticularly apt to be the case this year,
since we have had the epidemic so early
in the season.
ut is the plan. therefore, that In
dividuals be given three consecutive In
oculations, one week apart In order
that a relatively high degree OF inn
munity may be conferred, as well as a
more enduring one. II Is assumed that
one series OF Injections will confer a
relative immunity TO pneumonia and
inflenza for a period OF perhaps six
or nine months. In giving a large
number OF prophylsctic lnoculatlons
during the midst OF this epidemic. we
md that the occasional severe reactions
occur IN persons who are coming
down with attacks. Curiously these
have usually run very short and mild
course. The individuals usually
ascribe their symptoms to the inocu-
lation, as seem natural, though II is
really due In large part to the at
tack.
The Vaccine Is supplied gratis by
the Mayo Foundation for study am
therefore enclosing an outline which
VIII serve as q skeleton for the record
OF individuals lnoculsted, and will ask
you to give us the Information asked
for In order that we may obtain ac-
curate data regarding the value OF
incubation.

Secretary McAdoo Orders
Extension of War Risks
to Coastwise Ships.
NO ZONE LIMIT TO
U-BOAT OPERATIONS
Liberal Terms and Broad Protection
Spur Recruiting in the Merchant Ma
rine-Reduction Announced on Rates
to Fishing Vessels.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-rEvery of
ficer and seaman in theE American mer-
chant marine whose vessels take them
to the high seas either in trans-oceanie
or coastwise service is to have the full
protection of government war risk in
surance in the future.
Secretary McAdoo has issued an or
der making it obligatory upon every
ship owner or operatorsto thus protect
his men whether the vessels entered the
war zone or not. Issuance of this or
der came close upon the heels Of re-
ports of German U-boats operations off
the Atlantic coast. No increase in rates
was made, however, and the rate for
cargoes and crews Of fishing vessels was
lowered
All masters, officers and crews are to
be insured against loss of life, personal
injury or capture, caused by the risks
of war; $50
Heretofore this insurance has been
compulsory only for vessels trading be-
tween the United States and European
and certain designated African ports.
The outcropping of the submarine cam
paign, however, along the American
coast made a change necessary if the
men and vessels were to be protected
from this war risk.
The rates charged by the bureau of
war risk insurance for protection of
masters, officers and crews of steamers
range from one-half of a cent per 800
of insurance for Atlantic coastwise trips
and three-fourths of cent per 800
for trips to. Gulf ports, up to Is cents
| per 800 for steamers crossing the war
zone.
The rate charged for the protection
| of officers and crews of sailing vessels
engaged in coastwise trade are double
those charged for steamers. The new
order goes into effect on July 13 for
vessels sailing from the United States
and on July % for vessels sailing from
| foreign ports.
More than 10000 officers, masters and
seamen on American merchant vessels
| have already been protected by poll
cies issued by the bureau of war risk in
surance. The liberal terms and the
broad protection of this insurance are
squirting on recruiting for America S
merchant marine.
With regard TO fishing vessels the
secretary announced that the monthly
rate both as to cargoes and vessels had
been reduced three fourths Of one PEI
cent per 500 of insurance to one-hali
1 of one per cent.
In response to inquiries it was stated
that no increase had been made in any
of the war risk rates.

NORWEGIAN WORM
TURNS ON THE HUN
Destroyer Recaptures Steamer Being
Taken TO German Port by Prize
Crew of U-Boat.

COPENHAGEN, July PA Norwe-
gian destroyer recaptured Norwegian,
steamer which was being taken into port
by prize crew from a, German subma-
rine, according to dispatches received
here today.
The. submarine held up the small steamer
Hanka off Risor, 100 miles southwest OF
Christiania As the Hanka was being
taken toward the German coast a Norwe-
gian destroyer appeared and started IN
pursuit She overlook the Hanka and
brought her back into Risor.
After suffering great losses in life, ship
ping and commerce since the German sub
marine campaign was interrupted, this
is the first war-like move by the Norwe-
gian government. The cable did not state
what became of the prize crew the sub
marine put aboard the IIanka. Ii they
were taken into port with the steamer,
it is very probable tina. Germany will
make strong representations for their re
lease.
