The German embassy here today is- sued a statement giving the courses which vessels bound for German ports should pursue in order to be perfect- ly safe. The statement follows: “In connection with the deplorable loss of the Evelyn all circles inter- ested in shipping to the North Sea and the nearby waters are again ad- vised to follow the German admir- alty’s instructions: ‘““A—Merchant vessels bound for the Eider, Elbe, Weser and Jade rivers must first make Lister deep buoy; those bound for the Ems should make directly for its mouth.

The crew of the American steamer Carib, which was sunk by a mine off the German coast is reported from German sources to have been saved but the whereabouts of the sailors is a mystery. Taken to Holland. It was reported, also, that part of the crew of the American steamer IEvelyn, sunk by a mine off the Ger- man coast, was being taken to Hol- land. There are indications that the allied fleets in the Mediterranean are at- tacking the forts along the Dardan- elles In earn Though no detai have been received relative to the re- cent bombardment, the statement of the British admiralty referring to ““The interruption of operations” on account of weather conditions indi- cates that the fleet is still standing by, awaiting favorable opporunity to renew the action. Germany is still celebrating Field Marshal Von Hindenburg's advance over the Russian frontier from East Prussia, but official statements claim no marked progress since the Russians fell back on their fortified line. In cer- tain districts of East Prussia forme ly held by the Russian invaders, Ger- man civilians have been notified to re- turn to their homes.

These proposals have been guard- ed with the utmost secrecy and their ‘nature has not been revealed by officials who are reluctant to discuss them because of the delicacy of the negotiations. . Germany has offered to abandon her submarine warfare if assured that ships laden with foodstuffs for Ger- many will not be intercepted by Great Britain. Ambassador Gerard yesterday for- warded a report from the American consul at Bremerhaven, saying the steamer Evelyn was destroyed by a mine: that the crew left the ship in three boats, one of which is missing, the other two being picked up by a German scout ship.

COURT BILL-OF-FARE SIMPLIFIED BY WAR German Nobility No Longer Have fresh Rolls for Breakfast. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) | Berlin, Feb. 8.—“To live like a | king” is a phrase that no longer sig- nifies in Prussia an enviable height of luxury. Indeed, the German em- peror and empre: always have eaten simply, but the war has made the bill- | of-fare at court still simplier. As early as November the called “K-bread,” made of rye flour | with an admixture of potatoes, was | introduced at court and since then | has been used daily. Fresh Rolls Disappear. When after weeks ago an order prohibiting night baking was issued, fresh rolls disappeared from the im- | perial breakfast table. An egg, some | warmed up rolls and tea or coffee form the breakfast of the empress. At | 1 o’clock in the afternoon there are soup and a fish or vegetable cours The evening meal contains one meat, | generally one vegetable and potatoes, usually served in their jackets. Often, however, only cold meat and potato salad are served. This menu is but slightly altered when the emperor returns from head- quarters, where his fare is of Spar- tan mplicity. The chief change cons s in a thick soup of which the monarch is very fond. Frequently the midday meal is composed of such a soup alone. There are no pastries or | whipped cream, except when the chil- dren of the crown prince came to v it grandmother. Then there are cakes. S0- | | | | Three Meals a Daly. Commoners are being urged to fol- low the imperial example and to eat during the war, Not more than three meals a day.” This number, | said Prof. Karl Oppenheimer, in a | lecture delivered in one of the official | courses on economy in diet during the | war, is amply sufficient as a war diet | and further meals are a sin against | the fatherland. Overeating, said Dr. Oppenheimer, had become, as it were, a sport in wide classes of the and the middle uated workmen classes. HHEUMATIVSM A MYSTERY Some diseases give immunity from an- other attack but rheumatisin works just the other way. Every attack of rheumatism invites another. Worse than that it reduces the body’s power go that each attack is worae than the one before. If any disease nceds curing early it is rheumatism but there is almost no dis- | ease which physicians find more difficult | to treat successfully. "When a medicine | does help rheumatism nobody knows how or why it does it. All authorities agree that the blood be- comes thin with alarming rapidity as rheumatism develops. Maintaining the quality of the blood thereforeis a reason- | able way of preventing and combating | rheumatism. That it works out in fact is shown by the beneficial results in the treatment of rheumatism, acute, muscu- lar and articular, with the blood tonic, Dr. Williamg’ Pink Pills. | That hundreds who take Dr. Williams Pink Pills for their rheumatism get well is a fact beyond dispute.
