No Threats Made. It can be stated authoritatively that in the American communication made identical to Germany and Great Brit- ain no mention was made by the TUnited States of what course it would pursue in the event of rejection of its proposals, The ‘United States assumed rather the role of mediator in an effort se- cretly for the present, to reach an agreement without the embarrass- ments of public discussion in the bel- ligerent countries, where passions were thought likely to stimulate in- fluences that would defeat impartial consideration of questions involved. High officials of the Washington government have shown much solici- tude over what might be the extent of retaliatory measures adopted by the beligerents if they continue to disre- gard previously accepted principles of international law. Put Tt Up to England. It is understood that one of the arguments used is that if the policy of starvation is put into effect by Great Britain, the first to feel the pinch of hunger might be the Brit- ish, French and Russian prisoners. Another suggestion said to have beéen conveyed is that suffering forced upon the civilian population of Germany might produce an un- wholesome effect on the attitude of the American people toward Great Britain and her allies. Neutrals Together. There is every evidence that neu- tral governments are working in close harmony with the, Washington government and ‘have manifested more than a willingness to co-op- erate in efforts made 'here to assist in a settleemnt of the vexatious questions arising out of submarine and mine warfare. Secretary Bryan denied vesterday that an embargo by the United States on exports of food- stuffs was contemplated. Representative Porter's Bill, Following a talk with President Wilson, Representative Porter of Pennsylvania, republican, introduced a bill to authorize the president to 1 regulate and revoke embargoes on all ships and vessels in United States ports, of United States or for- eign vessels, if in his opinion it is necessary until fifteen days after the commencement of the next session of congress. “No man,” said Mr. Porter, ‘“can anticipate the emergencies likely to arise in our foreign relations during the next nine months, and congress should net adjourn without placing in the president’s hands every possi- ble assistance to meet the complica- tions as they arise.” iy The delicacy of the international negotiation prevents officials from re- vealing just what has been proposed. The ministers from Norway and Sweden and other neutral envoys who have inquired, some of them even by instructions from their governmen have not been given the details by the state department because the sub- ject is regarded as in an informal and unofficial stage as vyet, more in the N TEA CO. 17 MAIN STREET RDAY SPECIALS GRANULATE JLATED SUGAR AN D SUGAR $1.00 of Challenge or Evaporated Milk given free with ne 50c or 60c ed gold band Cup and ja up. tea (one day only). ucer with onc pound ps for 25 cents pmatoes, Succotash, Kidney Beans, Pork and Flufty Codfish, ads for 25 cents c.

From the point of view of the Wash- ington government Great Britain while conceding the shipment of foodstuffs to Germany under a system that would guarantee their distribution to the civilian population and not the belligerent forces of Germany, would have much to gain from an accept- ance of the American proposals. The abolition of the war zones around Great Britain and Ireland and the removal of all mines, it is ar- gued, would render the commerce of the allies safe, subject to the usual! restrictions of the right of visitation, search and capture. i Respousibility Pixed. Originally when mines were laid in the North sea Germany and Great Britain accused ecach other of being the aggressor in this respect. The | respansibility for the initiative never was fiixed by the United States gov- ernment and no protes s made. The new move by the United States would brush aside all questions of culpa- bility and appeal to the belligerents to sweep up their mines and prevent further accidents such as already have befallen nearly three score neutrals, including the American steamers Evelyn and Carib. It is understood that while the adoption of a definite agreement on all the points involved in the Ameri- can cémmunication may require some tiem the United States also has sug- gested that if the principles of the plans are acceptable, some tentative arrangements may be secured by, which neutral commerce for the pres- ent will not be menaced. ELEMENTARY SCHOCLS| GRADUATES DOUBLED Never In Last Seven Years Declares Dr.| s, Director of the Russell Sage Foundation. Cincinnati, O., Feb. 26.—In the last | seven vears the number of children | graduating each vear of the elemen- tary schools of America had doubled, according to Dr. L.eonard P. Ayres, d rector of the division of education of the Russell Sage Foundation, New York city, who addressed the depart- ment of superintendence of the Na- tional Educational association conven~ | yres said the number of ele- mentary school graduates now is three-quarters of a million greater annually than it was seven years ago. The only organized industry in Amer- ica that has increased the output of: its finished products as rapidly as the public ‘schools during the last seven vears, he said, was the automobile industry. He claimed the increase in gradua- ult of the nation-wide of schools to reduce backward- ness among school children and to the school survey movement., Four other~minor bodies of the Na- tional Educational ation held sessions today ¢ the Na- tional Association of State Supervisors and Inspectors of Rural Schools; Na- tional Council of Teachers of English: School Garden Association of Ameri- ca and the Commission on the Re- organization of Secondary Education.

London, 11:35 a. m.—The Bundesrath, having learned that German farmers were using potatoes too freely for fodder, has raised the prices of potato pro- ducts. It is believed this will prevent the consumption of potatoes by cattle. In the future potato fiakes will cost thirty-five marks ($8.75) per hundred kilograms (220 pounds) and potato starch will cost forty-eight marks ($12) per hundred kilograms. TO REPLACE MINE THROWERS.
