Issue I Squarely Drawn. The policy of the United States al wavs has been that foodstuffs are not contraband unless destined to the mil Jtarv or naval forces or a fortified port, of a belligerent. It is Germany s view that this Government should en force that policy now.

Insist that we may have your wheat and flour and meat, provided these products do not go to our mili tary or naval forces, or we will en force our war zone' decree."

Asked by the interviewer concerning the attitutle of German-Americans. Am bassador Gerard is reported in the Na tional Zeitung as having answered: Teople in Germany are too readily disposed to believe that German-Americans would be lirst Germans and then Americans in case of war. Exactly the opposite would be the case. American itixens of German birth are rirst and foremost Americans and the same spirit is true of Irish-Americans." W hen asked concerning the sale of Weapons to the allied powers the Am bassador called attention to the pro vision of The Hague convention which permitted this.

Secret Service Agent Glover, of Port land, and Police f ilter Hold Men na Counterfeiters. MAP.SHFIELD. Or., Feb. 14. (Spe cial.) William A. Glover, United Stales secret service agent of Portland, and Chief of Police Carter, of this City, ar retted two alleged counterfeiters here today. The prisoners are J. S. Stevens, of the Parisian Dyeing & Cleaning Shop, of Jlarshfield, and Z. G. Harsh man, who came here recently. Each is chnrged with counterfeiting. Mr. Glover and Chief Carter picked up the two men today after the sus pects had moved to East Side. Harsh man is thought to be the bad coin ex pert. When it was reported Monday that Harshman had molds for counter feiting in a scowhouse on the water front Chief Carter notified Mr. Glover. At the time of Harshman's apprehen sion today there was no evidence to implicate him, but the authorities had information warranting search of a house in East Side where they found between 45 and 50 molds for dimes, quarters, half-dollars and dollars, which they seized and placed in a near-by res idence. Numerous counterfeiting gangs have operated here but none ever has been convicted. Mr. Glover said tonight that he believed counterfeit money made from the molds seized had not yet been put in circulation. As tie comfort of the home is, so will the heart respond.
