Gerard, the American pmbassador, called on Gottlieb von Jagow, the German foreign secretary, t Swo'clock this evening and present- pd to him the American government's ote concerning the German sea war kone proclamation. . The delivery of the note was as fol- Wed by a conference between Mr. erard and the foreign minister, fvhich lasted for three-quarters of an our. Judging from the length of the mhqs ador's stay at the foreign of- cethe communication evidently was ou:fimml of importance. Thoroughly Friendly Document. Nothing concerning the contents of note has yet been given out by | Iy competent authority here, Offi- Is are not ready to comment on i evond stating that the communi plon is “couched in the friendliest irit and a thoroughly friendly ocument.” The German reply be made in duc course and, if views repeatedly expressed in re- onsible quarters may be taken as i { tennn it probably will point out 8t the German measure in making lpc seas around Great Britain a war one is a fully tified area to tt British attempt to starve out the Ger- nation, ‘““‘women and children, as cllyas soldier: British Embargo Illegal. - It is believed also that the note will uggest that if the United States de- ires mitigation of Germany’s naval ampaign, it would be well to induce | pireat Britain to lift her embargo on ogdstuffs bound for Germany, which, nsthe German interpretation of in- Jional law, is entirely illegal and stified. It will be addead, it is be- | ed, that if Great Britain persists r embargo, the campaign against ktile merchantmen will go forward fith full severity.

London, Ieb. 13.—That the United States intends to protect fully all its rights and privileges on the sea is the construction placed here yesterday on the Anrerican notes to Germany and Great Britain, There is a disposition to resent the attitude of the Ameri- can state department in assuming, without first asking for official in- formation that the British foreign of- fice had sanctioned the ‘“‘misuse of a neutral flag.” There a general feeling, that of the two the kaiser and this bring: tion to the average Engli The ‘‘Pall Mall Gazette” calls at- tention to the fact that while the American government is making rep- resentations concerning the use of the Stars and Stripes, American passen- gers are petitioning the Cunard line to sail;under the American flag so that they may enjoy its protection. Receive Unofficial Report. Washington, Feb. 13.—Administra- tion officials had unofficial informa. tioh today of the presentation of the American note to the German gov- ernment concerning the German sea war zone proclamation. The com- however, gets the satisfac- man, man foreign secretary last night by Ambassador Gerard at Berlin. The unofficial advices were to the effect that officials of the German | government decltned for the pre: ent to comment on the note excep to say that it was' couched in friend- language. It was suggested that the German reply which would be made in due course probably would contend that its action was fully jus- tified because of the attempt of Great Britain to starve out the German na- tion, “women and children, as well; as soldiers.” Notes Absorb Attention. The note to Germany and to Great Britain pointing out also that ' the ! antenenae, danger to neutral shipping of any un- justified general use of the Ameri- can flag continued to absorb atten- tion in ocicial and diplomatic quar- ters today. Many officials that the United States would be as sured by Great Britain that it has no intention of sanctioning general use of neutral flags by British mer- chant ships. AMNESTY TO KOREAN ‘Who Attempted to Kill Japanese Gov- ernor-General Granted by Japan. Seul, Korea, Feb. 13.—Amnesty was today granted by Japanese authority to Baron Yun Chi-Ho, a former cabi- net ministe; Yan Tai-Tak formerly connected with “The Xorean Dailv News;” An Tai-Kog, Im Chi-Chons Yi Sung-Hun and Ok Kwan-Pin, who in July of 1913 were sentenced to uix years imprisonment after having been found guilty of an attempt to assassin- ate Gen. Terauchi, Japanese gover- nor-general of Korea. The trial and conviction of thess Koreans two years ago attracted much attention for the reason of the allega- that certain Koreans had been sub- jected to torture in building up the case against the accused. tences of six years imposed by the Tai-Ku court were confirmed in Octo- ber, 1913, by the supreme court of Korea. MOST POWERFUL ADJUNCT. Radio Towers at Darien, on Isthmus | of Panama. Washington, Feb. 13.—Althoush the entire plant has not been com- pleted and the station, as yet s equipped only to receive messages, such excellent results are being daily obtained from the radio towers at Darien, on the Isthmus of Panama, that officials feel ‘the United States is | now in possession of a most powerful military and naval adjunct. | out of the three great 600 foot towers completed and rigged with temporary mesesages are being re- ceived without difficulty from = San rancisco and Arlington. The demonstrated ability of the new plant to keep the war and navy de- partments in close touch with, American naval and military forces at the Panama canal zone in time of trouble, regardless of interruptions of cabie service such as has proven to be { of vital importance in the European war is regarded with the greatest sat- isfaction by authorities here. /RES.IN LIS.PAT.

For nearly 15 years I have been studying the Chemistry of food and “Chemistry of the human body. I havye put these two sciences together and formulated the science of Applied Food Chemistry. By the application of this knowledge I cure all forms of stomach and intestinal diseases, and all other disorders that result from wrong eating and drinking. This method cannot fail beeause it con- {orms to the laws of Nature. 7 It is estimated that ninety-two per cent. of all diseases is caused by rrors in eating. These errors are made by wrong selections, wrong Gmbinations,and wrong proportions of food. I teach you how to correct these, how to select, how to combine and how to propertion your food according to your age and your occupation. This cures by removing causes. It gives Nature a chance. This is the true science of human nu- trition, and it is governed by lawsas infallible as the laws of gravitation. If you obey them you cannot be sick. If you do not obey them you cannot be well.

(Special to the Herald.) York, Feb. 13.—No better evi- dence of financial could be recorded than the increased activity | of fol- lowing upon the opening New improvement new financing. Immediately of the capital total last applications, the which recorded for the { months reached about $480,000,000, cr $166,000,000 less than the me time last year. The lowest month was September, when applications fell be- | Tow $28,000,000. Recovery | gradual, and in January the total | rose to $127,000,000, or only $3,000.- 000 below the same month in 1914; | while the total announcements far in February already exceed $160,000,000 bonds. Total issues in | February last year were $17 A considerable portion of current new ues is for the purpose of adjusting maturing obligations; but the signifi- cant feature is that these operations could not have been successfully car- | ried through a few weeks ago; { row it looks as if other important flotations will follow, so that this February will considerably exceed the same month a year ago. While we are facing beyond doubt an urgent | demand for capital, it is not likely | under existing business depression i that there will be any great demand frcm really new enterprises. This | year an extraordinary volume of short j term notes and other obligations mature, which will have to be ex- | tended or turned into fixed forms, the latter method being the most prob- able. Very Significant Trend. There is also another and very sig- nificant trend in the new demands for capital, which is that mnearly every important nation in the world except Great Britain is either borrowing in | the United States or willing to borrow. | This is due to the war. London has practically retired as the world’'s Panker for the purpose of devoting its whole financial resources to conduct of the war. Of course, this with- drawal is temporary, vet it offers an unusual opportunity to the TUnited States, because New York now the only free capital in the world, and hither will come a large portion ~f the new capital applications. At | present the war is being carried on by all belligerents largely by means of shert term obligations, although Great Britain is aiming to pay a con- siderable share as current expenses. | Later on these war debts will Dbe turned into more permanent forms of investment.- All of the belligerents have established extensive credits in thés market, for the purpose of pur- chasing war materials, immense quan- tities of "which are being steadily shipped to Europe. This movement will continue as long as the war lasts, is proving a very vital factor in large quantities is and swelling our exports, of ammunition, automobiles, clothing, | cte., leaving American ports every week. Our exports are being fumther expanded by heavy shipments of | wheat and cotton. ~Meanwhile our importations are running very light, owing to the interruption of supplies by the war; and in the week ending February 6th, the excess of exports over imports was estimated at $37,- 000,000. As a result of these inter- national operations, foreign exchange has again declined to the lowest point since 1907. Gold imports from China | and Canada are coming at a moderate scale, and larger amounts would fol- low were it not for the establishing of the foreign credits referred to abov It is estimated that the present in- ward movement may run as high as $10,000,000, but we do not need gold while Europe does, and under exist- ing conditions it is more advantageous to Europe and to the United States to allow these credits to stand. We have thus becomeaa creditor instead of a debtor nati Abundance of Loanable Funds. the financial situation is abundance | of loanable funds at reasonable rat This is due partly to the dullness in trade and partly to the workings of the Federal resérve bank- | ing system. There has been a steady expension in loans which now stand at $2,221,000,000 against $2,1£0,000,000 at the opening of the yvear.

January railroad earnings were ceedingly unsatisfactory ard often showed large decreases. Yet later freight returns show an increasing movement, and there. is reason to hope that the railroads have seen the worst of their troubles. In another aspect the tide seems. also to have turned for the better; that is in the iron trade. In the export division a much better business is being done, and our own railroads are placing more liberal orders for equipment than for several months. As prices are also steadier there is abundant evidence that the steel trade is now on the upward grade, although the pace may be disappointingly slow. Still Higher Market. Business this week was somewhat interrupted by the holiday, but Indi- cations point to a more active and ir- regular market.
