Health and comfort demand that this con- gestion be speedily relieved and the foul mass expelled. The well-founded objection most people have to the violence of cathartic and purgative agents is oveércomie by using the combi- nation of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that is sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Cald- well's Syrup Pepsin. A dose at night brings relief next morning, without discomfort or incon- Venience. A free trial bottle can be obtalned by writing to Dr. W. B.

Rights of Non-Combatants. “The government of the United States has been,apprised that the im- perial German government considered themselves to be obliged by the ex traordinary circumstances of the pres- ent war and the measures adopted by their adversaries in ‘seeking to cut Germany off from all commerce, to adopt methods of retaliation which go much beyond the ordinary methoda of warfare at sea, in the proclamation of a war zone from which they have warned neéutra]l ships to keep away. This government has already taken occasion to inform the imperial Ger- man government that it can not ad- mit the adoption of such measures or such a warning of danger to opeiate as in any degree on abbreviation of the rights of American shipmasters or of American citizens bound on lawful errands as passengers on meérchant ships of belligerent nationality; and that it must hold the imperial Ger- man government do a strict accounta- bility for any .infringement of those rights, intentional or incidental. It does not understand the imperial Ger- man government to question those righte. It assumes on the contrary, that the imperial government accept, as of course, the rule that the lives of non-combatants, whether they he of neutral eitizenship or citizens of one of the nations of war, can not lawfully or rightfully be put in jeopardy by the capture or restriction. of an un- armed merchantman and recognize also, as all other nations, do, the obli- gation to take the usual precaution of visit and search to ascertain whether a suspected merchantman is in fact of belligerent nationality or is in fact carryving contraband of war under a neutral flag. Relative to Submarines. “The government of .the United States, therefore, desires to call the attention of the imperial German gov- ernmeént with the utmost earnestness to the fact that the objection to their present method of attack against the trade "of their enemies lies in the practical impossibility ' of employ- ing submarines in the destruction of commerce without disregarding those rules of fairness, reason, justice and humanity, which all modern opin- ion regards as imperative. It is prac- tically impossible for the officers of a submarine to visit a merchantman at sea and examine her papers and car- for them to make a prize of her, and if on they can not sink her on board of her to mercy of sea in her These facts it is under- German' govern- ment frankly admit. We are informed go. It is practically impossible they can not put a board of her, without leaving her erew and prize crew al small boats, stood. the imperial that in the instances of“which have spoken .time enough for that poor measure of safety was not given, and in at least two of the cases cited not so much as a warning was received. Manifestly submarines can- not be used against merchantmen as we | the last tew weeks have shown, with- out an inevitable violation of . many ‘| sacréd principles of justice and hu- manity. _Americans Within Rights. _ “American citizeris act Within their indisputable rights in taking = their ships and in traveling wherever their legitimate business calls them upon thé high seas, and exercise thosec rights in what should he the well- Jjustified confidence that -their lives will not he endangered by acts done in clear violation of universally' ace knowledged international oblizations, and certainly in the confidence that their own government will sustain them in the exercise of their rights. “There was recently published in the newspapers of the United States, I regret to infrom the imperial Ger- man government, a formal warning, purporting to come from the imperial German embassy at Washington, ad- dressed to the people of the United States, and stating, in effect, that any citiz of the United States who ex- ercized his right of free travel. upon the seas would do so at his peril if his journey should take him within the zone of waters within which the im- perial German navy was using sub- marines against the commerce of Great Britain and France, standing the respectful but very ear- nest protest of his government, the government of the Unitd States. Warning No Excuse. “I do not refer to this for the pur- pose of calling the ‘atténtion of the imperial German government at this { time to the surprising irregularity of a communication from the imperial German embassy at Washington ad- dressed to the people of the United States through the newspaprs, but only for the purpose of pointing out that no warning:that an unlawful and Inhuman act will' be committed can possbly be accepted as an excuse or palliation for that act or as an abate- ment of the responsibility for its commission. “Long acquainted as this govern- ment has been with the character of the imperial government and with the high principles of equity by which thy have in the past been actuated and guided, the government of the United States can not believe that the commanders of the vessels which com- mitted these acts of lawlesness did even notwith- | Represented by K.
