PROTEST ENTERED ACANST TEUTON NAVAL WARFARE South American Republic Places Responsibility for All Acts Affecting Its Neutrality DENIES RIGHT TO FIX TRADE CONDITIONS (Associated Press.) Rio de Janeiro, Feb, 10.—The note handed to the German secretary of foreign affairs by the Brazilian min- ister at Berlin in repply,to Germany's declaration of the resumption of un- restricted submarine warfare was made public here today. It says: “I have just been directed to inform Your Excellency that the federal gov- ernment has the greatest desire not to see modified the actual situation, as long as the war lasts, a sijuation in which Brazil has impposed upon itself the rigorous observance of the laws of neutrality since the .com- mencement of hostilities between na- tions with whom she has had friendly relations. My government has always observed this neutrality, while reserv- ing to itself the rights which belong to it and which it has always been ac- customed to exercise, of action in those cases where Brazilian interests are at stake, Profound Impression. “The unexpected communication which has just been received announc- ing a blockade of a wide extent of countries, with which Brazil is contin- ually in economic relations by foreign and Brazilian shipping, has produced a justified. and profound impression through the imminent menace which it contains of the unjust sacrifice of jives, the destruction of property and the wholesale disturbance of commer- cial transactions. Cannot Accept. “In such circumstances and, while observing always,and invariably the same princip! the Brazilian govern- ing examined the ten- or of the German note, declares that it cannot accept as effective the block- ade which has just suddenly been de- creed by the imperial government. Fecause of the means employed to re- alize this blockade, the extent of the interdicted zones, the absence of all restrictions, including the failure to warn even neutral menaced ships, and the announced intention of using every military means of destruction, of, no, matter. what. character, such 2 blockadé would neither be regular nor effectiver‘and -would be..contrary to the principles of law and the conven- tional (piles established . for military operations of this nature. ye Duty to Protest. "Wor these reasons, the Brazilian “government, in spite of its sincere and keen desire to avoid any disagree- ment with the nations. at war, with whom it is on friendly terms, believes it to be-its duty to protest against this blockade and consequently to leave entirely with the imperial Ger- Tonight at the Bismarck Theatre. man government the responsibility for all acts which will involve Brazilian citizens, merchandise or ships, and which are proven to have been com- mitted in disregard of the recognized principles of international law, and of the convention signed by Brazil and Germany.

F100 CONTROL COMMITTEE IN CLASH (Associated Press) St. Paul, Feb. 10—South Dakota ;members of the Tri-State Legislative Drainage committee showed a disposi- tion’ this morning to place the entire burden of formulating legislation up- on Minnesota and North Dakota. The plan of the South Dakotans was to ‘allow Minnesota and North Dakota to frame the legislation and allow them to pass upon it. Senator Isaaé Lincoln said he and his colleagues were disappointed that no plan scems to have been formulat- ed. They had expected there would be one on hand when they arrived. T. T. Cliff, and others, pointed out that the bill adopted by the Tri-State Flood Control association was before the conference as a basis for uniform legislative action in the threc states. Senator Lincoln said that South Da- kota was not so much interested in flood control as North Dakota and Minnesota. The morning was spent in discuss- ing plans for flood control. A’ plan to have Minnesota, North and South Dakota work jointly in the flood control situation was discussed in the capitol here today. It is he- lieved that before the conference is ended, the damage suit against Min- nesota for $1,000,000 filed by North Dakota will be disposed of. The con- ferences are being attended by re- presentatives of three states, and it is proposed to have the states work to secure legislation. Bills will prob- ably be introduced in the legislature empowering the state to enter into a joint contract for the use of waters for industrial purposes, One of the delegates pointed out today that 1,500,000 acres of and were flooded through the rising of the Red river a year ago, and this is like- means are taken for flood control. No plan, as yet, has been decided up- on, but the North Dakota delegation is ready to submit a plan involving the conserving of waters and drain- age and the assessment would be large enough to pay for the erection of a light and power plant.

He’s A Wonder A prominent Citizen Spends an Hour With a Clairvoyant STIFIED AND CON- VINCED THAT THERE ARE MORE THINGS IN HEAVEN. AND EARTH THAN ARE DREAMED OF IN HIS PHILOSOPHY —A TRULY: REMARKABLE TEST. Having read the flattering accounts | ance that demands his attention.” It was this matter that this gentleman ly to occur every year unless some; achieved by Prof. Edwards, the clair- voyant and psychologist, a prominent citizen decided to do a little investi- gating for himself and see what there was in the reports of thi sman’'s won- derful powers. This gentleman called at Mr. Ed- wards’ parlors, Hotel McKenzie, about 7 o'clock last Thursday evening. The reception room at that time was filled with as genteel an assemblage of la- dies and gentlemen as ever gathered in Bismarck. Among them this gen- tleman recognized several prominent society ladies and half. a dozen well known business men. Soon the door of Mr. Edwards’ consultation parlors opened and Mr. Edwards appeared. There is none of the fortune-teller in his appearance. He is a tall, wel! built gentleman with a pair of dreamy eyes that seem to be looking far away ali of the time. To“this gentleman's utter astonishment he called him by name. ‘Suffitiently mystified already, the gentleman followed the clairvoy- ant into his private parlor. It was brightly lighted. Mr. Edwards sat down at one side of a table and this gentleman at the other. “Are there any particular subjects?” he asked. There was just one sub- ject. It concerned a friend who had left Bismarck that morning. The strangely gifted man’s eyes closed for a moment; then he said: “Your friend has just reached St. Paul, but will re- turn, as he forgot a matter. of import- Right here it may be adiled that the friend returned to Bismarck the next morning for the reason given by the clairvoyant. Not content’ with that much information, the clairvoy- ant told not only the name, but the age of the friend, which this gentle- man did not even know himself, but which was later verified by the friend; also, described him minutely, even to the clothes he wore when he took, the train. Then followed a series of sur- prising revelations. Persona] mat- ters of such a nature as to be known to individuals alone were disclosed, incidents of former years almost for- gotten were related with a vividness and clearness that was almost. like living them over. Old love affairs and present ones, too, were told with the names of the women in the case. After this was all over this gentle- man said: I have.an& o'clock engage- ment, so he said good evening and left rather mystified and surprised at the quickness and clearness with which his doubts had been dispelled, and wondered how this man coud giv such remarkable information. He al- so wondered how long this «aan could hold up under such a mental s: his work must be. ‘As this gent'ecian passed through thé ante-parlor the clairvoyant called a lady by name and she, with expressing perfect bewilder- ment, entered the private consultati¢n room.
