buildings in Manhattan by order of
Frank l.. Bowling, borough president
today warned all loyal Americans to
refrain from careless talk which might
be of use to the enemy.
Remember that the enemy IS al
ways seeking information" reads the

and he may benefit by the careless
talk of loyal Americans. Remember
not to talk in public or to strangers
or to speak of any information you
may have as to military or naval
preparations, or any movements of
troops or Transports
Remember that you should not per-
NIT your friends in the service to tell
you inside facts, for if they come to
your knowledge you may, by talking
about them, be serving the foe ans
injuring the cause of your relatives,
friends and allies.
Remember that the enemy may not
be only at the door but at our elbow"

new GERMAN MOVE
CAUSES NO ALARM

WASHINGTON, June 14-Intention
of the German government to declare
the eastern coast of the United States
a danger zone for neutral shipping, as
intimated in advices received last
night from Berlin via Amsterdam, &C.
casioned no alarm whatever in official
circles here today. Most officials con-
sidered the matter unworthy OF COM
ment Those expressing their views
declared the Amsterdam dispatch
meant little as Germany, by the sink
ing of Is vessels, some of which flew
neutral flags, on this side of the Allan
tic, practically issued a warning to
neutrals that their flags would be no
more respected in waters off the
American coast than in the barred
zone around Europe.
Should the intimated warning
prove to be formal announcement Of
the extension of the policy OF ruth
lessness to American waters, officials
declared the navy was prepared to
cope with Germany's undersea craft
and no change of the present plans
would be necessary
Officials also pointed out that the
European neutrals are dependent up
on America for food to such an extent
that issuance of a warning by Ger
many probably would in nowise affect
trade conditions.

ARMY AVIATOR GIVES
DARING EXHIBITION

Thousands of Richmond people
watched the daring antics of an army
aviator at about 6 o'clock Thursday
evening, as he flew above the city and
gave a thrilling exhibition of scien-
tific flying.
There were two men in the ma
chine. one of them an instructor and
the other student When the in
structor took the wheel the thrills be-
gan.
When the machine was about 1900
feet above Sixteenth street it looped
the loop twice, tipped to a sharp angle
and then began to drop in a whirling
spiral toward the earth. Many per-
sons thought that something had hap
pened to the engine and that the ma
chine and its occupants were doomed
to destruction. However, after drop
ping for about 500 feet the airplane
suddenly righted itself and glided
from view over the tops of the trees
toward the country club.
At the club the ma chine alighted
and the aviators stopped for supper.
They returned to Dayton at about 7
o'clock

HAIC REVIEWS
U. s. SOLDIERS

AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS ON
THE BRITISH FRONT, Wednesday,
June 12.-Field Marshal Sir Douglas
Haig, commander in chief Of the Brit
ish army In France today reviewed
the American troops on a wide plain
In this area.
The Americans filed past with an
| easy swinging step that bore out the
opinion, of many British experts that
they are as tit physically as training
can make them. Parading is not sup
posed to be their strong point, but
after a long march to the reviewing
grounds and a long wait with their
heavy packs on their backs, their
alignment, step and carriage were ex-
cellent.
The review opened impressively
with a salute to the colors, while a
squadron from the Royal Flying Corps
flew over the field and did some aero
batic stunts in honor Of their allies.
Field Marshal Haig stopped several
| times to chat with officers while pass
| ing along the line.
| British officers present were i'm
pressed by the physical condition of
the men and by their high spirits. The
medical officers have had little to do
thus far in this zone. The health of
the men, whether quartered in billets
or camping in the open, has been far
above the average.
The eagerness of the Americans in
getting at their work, has made a hit
with the British who find them quite
ready rs far as physical training goes.
British officers believe that a short
period of study Of the fine points of
modern warfare will make the Ameri-
cans ready in every respect.
