WASHINGTON', July i:-Conhler
tlon of the German reply In the Am
erlcan note on submarine warfare
overshadow all else today In the work
of state department officials.
The situation was described In offi
cial quarters as critical, and there was
no concealment of the fact that re I a
ej State had become more strained
tlons between Germany and the I'nlt
than at any time In their history.
There was much Informal discussion
among officials of (he contents of the
German reply. The trend of their
opinion was that the evasion of the
American argument In the German
notes had narrowed the field of neiuv
tlontlon so that the next communica
tion from the I'nlted tSates must state
to some extent he Intentions of the
Washington government in case Its
rights are further violated, and de
clare (he position It will take with ref
erence to Germany' refusal to dis
avow the sinking of the I.usltanla.
Something much more specific and
positive than has yet been said In the
notes which the I'nlted States bus
sent since the submarine war tone
was declared is now expected.

gene, July 12. For every student lost

in June, six will bo gained thro
matriculation in September, according
to Ropislrar Albert R. Tiffany.
Besides the increase through a large

the spirit of optimism and enterprise
and loyalty that now prevails on the
campus is going to keep them here,
not only this year I believe, but In fu
ture years."
Mr. Tiffany prophesies 300 freshmen
as against a previous record of 375.

a. m. to six p. rn. without giving me
any relief and Ihen told me they did
not expect me to live: that I had best
telegraph for my family. Instead of
doing so, I gave the hotel porter fifty
cents and told him to buy me a bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, and take no sub
stitute. I took a double dose accord
ing to the directions and went to sleep
after the second dose. At five o'clock
