THEY MIGHT OBJECT
Bern, Dispa tchcs Say Germans Did
Not Like Tone of Answer.

Berne, Oct. 17.-President Wilson's
reply to the German note has created
g new state of affairs in diplomatic
discussions relative to peace, it is re-
ported here from German sources. and
the German reply. it is said, will make
it clearly understood that the tone en-
ployed by the president was open to
objections.
There have been passionate discus

ings of all the groups Of the reichstag
but no line of policy has been deter
mined. altho there has been pro-
longed deliberations on the subject.
The presence of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg in Berlin is believed to
foreshadow the drafting of the Ger
man reply to Mr.. Wilson. Under the
circumstances it is uncertain whether
the reichstag will meet tomorrow. In
any case there will be no plenary
meeting of the parliament before the
reply is forwarded. Then there will
be a full dress debate in which the

Nd INCREASE IN
ICE RATE LIKELY
FOOD ADMINISTRATION NOW HAS
SUPERVISION OVER PRICE OF
CE-BELIEVED PRICES HERE
WON'T CHANGE.

1t is not likely that there will be
any increase in the price of ice in
Americus this summer.
So far as is known now by the At
lantic Ice and Coal Company, the
present prices will prevail.
Food Administrator Franc Mangum
has been notified that the sale of ice
is now within his jurisdiction, so far
as price-fxing is concerned. but he
does not expect changes here.
In some Georgia cities, however,
principally Savannah, the price of ice
is already a subject of bitter conten-
ton.
Ice by the wholesale in Americus is
30 cents a hundred; at retail, sold in
quantities less than 100 pounds, it is
50 cents a hundred. There was a
small increase last October, but no
change has been made since then.
Before the ice companies can raise
their prices now, they must make a
showing to the food administration.

HOW TO ADDRESS
MAIL TO SOLDIERS
ACROSS THE OCEAN

Carelessly addressed mail, intended
for soldiers and sailors at home and
abroad, is causing no end of trouble
the postal department advises Mr.. d.
F. Davenport, postmaster at Americus
The department stresses the impera
tiveness of proper address to deliver
a letter addressed to one of many
hundreds of thousands of men in the
service at present.
"CareIessly addressed mall says
MIR. Davenport. ''is a source of great
annoyance and trouble to every one
concerned under ordinary cirum
stances But under the conditions pre-
vailing in the army, the trouble is
trebbled. n the first place the soldier
misses his mail In the second place
the author, whether wife. mother, sis
ter, sweetheart Or friend, does not get
the response In the third place, the
department is put to no end of trou
BILE"
In the instructions issued in the
notice sent here, the department
specifies the full name and title should
be given. with the company and regi
mental numbers. If in the expedition
airy forces, this should be added. The
necessity for full name is emphasized
by the department thusly: A letter
addressed to J. F. Smith might be
Joseph, jeremiah, John or any one of
hundred Smiths
The department also urges that ink
be used in preference to pencil for
addresses, since the pencil becomes
practically obliterated from the long
trip. Also on account of the long
trip the department states that strong
envelopes should be used for letters.
The department says that it is also
receiving many reports from the army
postofices in Europe that packages
al rive in such a dilapidated and wreck
ed condition that many Of them have
10 be repackcd before they can be de-
livered incidentally, this means de-
layed delivery and likely loss in
part or entirely of the contents. Very
heavy wrapping and packing is neces-
sary, the department advises, for
packages to Withstand the long trip.

SUBMARINES
ARE UNABLE
To WIN WAR
SEIZURE OF ONE MILLION TONS
OF DUTCH VESSELS WILL PROVE
OF TREMENDOUS ASSISTANCE
TO THE ALLIES.

NEW YORK, March 22.-Seizure to-
day of 100000 tons of idle Dutch
shipping by the Allies means the pres
ent net losses due to the submarine
warfare have been made good in ad-
vance for the next ten month. Con-
siderably before that time launchings
of new ships will have definitely
establihed the ascendancy of the Al
les in the warfare with the subma-
rines. The only development that
might prevent the termination of the
U-boat conflicts would be the con-
struction by Germany of new type OF
submarine far less vulnerable and
more aggressive than the present That
is extremely unlikely. Sir Eric
Geddes, first lord of the British ad-
miralty, has announced that the new
shipping now being launched comes
within 100000 tons monthly of replace
ing the total sinkings of merchantmen.
The million tons of Dutch shipping
that have just been restored to actiyt-
ty is sufficient therefore to make good
the balance of losses throughout the
present year and we'll into January
Of next year. 1t is known that Amer
ica's and Great Britains shipbuilding
programe have fallen behind the first
anticipations. 1t is absolutely certain,
however. that accelerations of launch
ings in the United States alone will
exert a marked influence of the tom
rage situation next summer The up
ward movement of the chart showing
the Allie victory over the U-boats
ought then to become prominent.
there is no slackening of new con-
struction.
The new policy of publicity concern
ing the shipping situation gives no aid
ard comfort to the Germans. It
should be essentially reassuring to the
Allies. It establishes the fact that the
var will not be won by the submarine.
The German people must realize from
the official figures now being reveal
ed that piraticaI barbarity cannot
bring success to the Hohenzollerns.
The autocrats of Germany are prov
to have sacrificed Germanys honor
once more in vain.
