BY RAYMOND E. SWING. (Correspondent of the Chicago Dally Nel, By special cabl!. - Copyright, 1910, by the Chicago laily News Company.) BERLIN. Germany, May 15, via London, May 16. Gottlieb von Jagow, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, in an interview today made the first state ment since the passing: of the Ameri can crisis, speaking at length of the phase of the recent controversy deal ing with the British blockade. I asked the secretary whether Ameri cans should consider the submarine war as formerly conducted as a reprisal against the blockade or the blockade as a reprisal against the submarine War, as the British had contended. Better Test Than Priority Asserted. "There is a method of determining which can be accurately considered retaliation," replied Herr von Jagow, "and that is by applying the test of priority. But this is complicated by the problem as to whether or not one Is to consider the anouncement of the ministers as the beginning of the method of warfare. "It is a question I can. afford to waive, for I am confident that the verdict of history when all the evi dence is gathered and weighed will be in rur favor. But there is another trst. The word reprisal contains im pliedly a promise that when the evil is redressed against which the reprisal is directed the reprisal shall cease im mediately. This implication is the ac cepted basis in the military conduct of war. Cases In Present AVar Cited. "For instance, in Morbihan. France, German prisoners were made to live in unheated and unlighted quarters. In reprisal French prisoners at Fried- dichsfelde, near Wesel, were made to undergo The same treatment. In three weeks, I am glad to say, the conditions at Morbihan were rectified and the French at Wesel again had their warmth and illumination.- "I could multiply these instances. Take the case of our captured sub marine crews in England to whom the honorable treatment due to prisoners of war was refused. Thirty British officers in German prison camps were thereupon handled in the same spirit, but when the submarine men received their rights the British were immedi ately restored to their former standing. "These instances bring out the axiom that a reprisal, when it is exercised after the evil against which it was directed has been redressed, ceases to be a reprisal and becomes an atrocity. If this is true in cases affecting only members of organized military forces, liow much more true it becomes when the reprisals affect noncombatants and neutrals! All the more then is an implicit promise contained in the word reprisal. "Fortunately we have an explicit statement of it not only by our gov ernment but by the British govern ment as well. In his memorandum to the United States in the Wilhelmina case, aated February 19, 1915, Sir Ed ward Grey said: Faced with this situation. tiiu majesty's government consider that it would be altogether unreasonable that xritain ana her allies should be ex pected to remain indef initelv hmmri to their grave detriment, by rules and principles of which they recognize the Justice if impartially" ohwrvrii tween belligerents, but which are at me present moment openly set at de fiance by their enemy. Food Declaration Quoted. ' " "If therefore his maiestv's ment should hereafter feel constrain ed to declare foodstuffs ahsolutn rnn traband. or to take other measures for inienering with Germany's trade by way of reprisals, they confidently ex pect that such action will not h chal lenged on the part of neutral states by appeals to laws and usages of war whose validity rests on their forming an integral part of that international ooctrine, which, as a whole, their en emy trankly boasts the liberty and in tention to disregard, eo long as such neutral siates cannot compel the Ger man government to abandon methods of warfare which have not in recent history been regarded, as having the sanction or either law- or humanity. Three days previously, n the Ger man note of Feb. 16. 1915. to the Unit ed States, dealing with the declaration of a war zone around England, I had said : " 'Should the American, government at the eleventh hour succeed in remov ing, by virtue of the weight which they have the right and ability to throw into the scales of the fate of peoples, the reasons which .have made it the imperative duty of the German government to take the action indi cated, should the American govern ment in particular find a way to bring about the observation of the Declara tion of London on the part of the pow ers at war with Germany and thereby render possible for Germany the legi timate supply of foodstuffs and indus trial raw materials, the German gov ernment would recognize this as a ser vice that could not be too highly es timated in favor of more humane con- EMUS IOC PENCIL 17 different deereea for rv.rv known nnr. pose.

Test Applied by America. These two statements amount to pledges made by Sir Edward. Grey and myseii that our respective govern ments would take the course of action which must logically follow if the word reprisal were used in good faith. The United States applied the test bona fide immediately. In joint notes to Great Britain and Germany Feb. 22, lBlo. It proposed that foodstuffs should not be made absolute contraband. that the British authorities should neither destroy nor delay such ship ments and that with regard to Bub marine warfare neither government should, make attacks upon the mer chant ships of any nationality except in tne exercise of the right of visit and search. I must say that I had hopes then that this American propo sal would cut the knot of ever increas ing reprisals With their tendency to intensify into unlimited and irrepres sible harshness. The acceptance of the American proposals would have been a most striking achievement in the way of realizing the freedom of the seas. Germany Accepts, Britain Refuses. "It is true that our common endeav ors in The Hague conference went further in theory than the American proposals,' but the acceptance of these would have had the practical advan tage of forcing the belligerents in the midst of war to sacrifice military ben efits in recognition of humane prin ciples. Germany accepted these proposals- in principle. Feb. 28, 1915, and Great Britain declined on March 15. The United States has applied the test of good faith. "The position of the British was per haps revealed in the straightforward statement of the Manchester Guardian Dec. 22. 1915, in which it was said: " 'Had Germany kept within the law in her conduct of the war our posi tion would have remained a very dim cult one, and it is very doubtful if we should ever have been able to extricate ourselves from the entanglements of these declarations of London, Paris and The Hague. Fortunately, on the whole, for us, Germany was not content to let well enough alone, but by beginning the submarine blockade, and committing hundreds of illegal and tyrannical acts, presented us with an opportunity to escape. " 'The orders ire council of March prohibiting the whole import trade of Germany were in form a measure of reprisal against Germany for her ille gal acts. Reprisals are not bound by the forms of law. and Mr. Asquith's object in making them in the form in which he did was to cut this country loose from The entanglements which hampered the exercise of our naval power. " 'It was a bold measure and it gave our navy powers against the enemy trade comparable to those exercised by it in the Napoleonic wars before railways made all Europe one in an economic sense. Submarines were in vented to make ..a close blockade im possible.' ' ' British Admission as to Food Cited. "That Great Britain is in no doubt about the legal status of foodstuffs in time of war was brought out not only by Lord Salisbury in the Boer war. but by Sir Edward Grey in his note to the American government Jan. 7, 1915, in which he declared: 'v ith regard to the seizure of food stuffs his majesty's government are prepared to admit that foodstuffs should not be detained and put into the prize court without the presumption that they are intended for the armed forces of the enemy government. It is our present intention to adhere to this rule, though we cannot give an unconditional understanding in view of the departure by those against whom we are fighting from the hitherto accepted rules of civilization and humanity and the un certainty as to the extent to which such rules may be violated by them In the future. v. "That was fourteen months ago. Now we face an entirely different sit uation. It has similarity with the sit uation then, but with this one para mount difference: Then the German government did not wish to give up its submarine policy until the British government simultaneously agreed to observe the international laws recog nized before the war. To-day the sub marine war in the form in which it was only a reprisal has ceased to ex ist. The British blockade must now stand the test of honesty and good faith before the world. " Was it in reprisal when Great Britain attempted to extend the suf ferings of the war to the entire non- combatant population of Germany? Was it nothing but a reprisal? Was Sir Edward Grey's implied promise to give it up made in good faith? If it was it means that the authorization given fourteen months ago by both the British and the German gavernments to the neutrals to enforce the observ ance of the international law by all the belligerents stands today. I asked Herr von Jagow whether the giving up of the submarine warfare on commerce as outlined in the Ger man reply to America was to be considered as eventually contingent upon some effective action to bring about the observance of international law on the part of Great Britain. "We have given it up," he replied, "but you cannot expect us to encour age and stimulate British illegalities by giving our enemies a written guar - rccf.TjtCrfciy Tl S.1 7 II I OFFICIAL WAR REPORTS German. BERLIN, via London, 21. The text of today's official report is: "Western front On the south and southwest slopes of Dead Man Hill our lines were advanced after effective ar tillery preparation. Thirty-one officers and 131o men were taken prisoner, and, in addition to other war material, 16 machine guns and eight cannon were captured. "East of the Meuse It has been as certained that the French attack with hand grenades ire Caillette wood on the night of May 20 was repulsed. Minor explosions west of Beumont and south of Gondrexon were successful. "Near Ostend (Belgium) a hostile aeroplene was brought down by the fire of our anti-aircraft guns, and fell into the sea. Four other machines were shot down in aerial encounters. Two fell within our lines and two within the enemy's lines. "Our aeroplane squadron again dropped bombs freely on Dunkirk dur ing the night." Frencli. PARIS, May 21. The official state ment issued today follows: "West of the Meuse the Germans continued during the night their at tacks on our positions on Dead Man Hill. They were again repulsed, but succeeded in occupying one of our first line trenches. "East of the Meuse there was heavy artillery firing in the vicinity of Fort Vaux, without any infantry actions. In Lorraine an attack following a violent bombardment enabled the Ger mans to penetrate one of our trenches west of Chazelles. Our fire, however. later compelled the Germans to return to their lines, leaving their dead and wounded. "A raid was made by enemy aviators n the region of Baccarat, Epinal and Vesoul. The material damage was in significant. Four persons were wounded slightly. "Our aviators last night threw nu merous bombs on military establish ments at Thionville. Etan and Spin- court, and on the camps in the vicinity of Azannes and Danvlllers. The rail way station at Lumes was bombarded, causing the rapid flight of trains and a large fire.

The commercial measures to be taken by Germany af ter the war were discussed in the Reichstag by Dr. Max Richter. Under Secretary of the Interior, says a Reu ter dispatch from Amsterdam. Dr. Richter said: "There will te an urgent necessity for some time after the war for a large amount of merchant tonnage. I am authorized by the Minister of Finance to say that no small amount of money will be at our disposal for that purpose, and something in that direction already has been done. So far as workmen can be spared from the imperial dock-yards, they will bo employed in rebulding a merchant fleet." Herr Gothien. a progressivist. argued that Germany need not fear American competition, although Americans have reaped great prorits from the mis fortunes of war. He added: "They have made no efforts to cap ture international commerce in re spect to the ordinary merchandise, re stricting themselves to tne more proi ltable manufacture of war material. American exports of merchandise have been decreased to a considerable ex tent." CLASS PLANS SUNDIAL GIFT Ceremony at Willamette University Will Be About June 7. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY. Salem, Or..

The supplementary report, issued to night, says: "On the left bank of the Meuse the battle continued fiercely all day on the front between the Avocourt wood and the Meuse. In the neighborhood of the road, from Esnes to Haucourt, an attack by our troops permitted us to occupy two German trenches. A small work, which the enemy occupied May 18 south of hill 287 was shattered by our artillery. "Immediately east of hill 304 the enemy delivered an attack, which, after penetrating our first-line trench, was driven back. "On the slopes west of Le Mort Homme a violent offensive by an enemy brigade was stopped. "On the right bank of the Meuse the artillery struggle was violent. In the sector of Douaumont our troops, in a spirited attack, captured the Haudre mont quarries. We took 80 prisoners and four machine guns. "German aeroplanes carried out since yesterday two bombardments in the re gion of Dunkirk. About 20 shells were dropped last night, killing four persons and wounding 15. Another enemy squadron today dropped about 100 bombs in the outskirts of Dunkirk. Two soldiers and a child were killed and 20 persons were wounded. "Allied aeroplanes pursued the enemy machines and succeeded in bringing down two. "Immediately after the first bom bardment 53 French. British and Bel gian aeroplanes flew over the German cantonments at Wywege and Ghistelles, on which 250 shells were dropped. "German aeroplanes today dropped 15 bombs on Belfort, but the material damage was small." Russian. PETiOGRAD. via London, May 21.

High Tribute Paid by Rnsslan Observ ers to Courage of Ottomans at Entrance to Mesopotamia. PETROGRAD. via London. May 21. Having to cope no longer with the Kurdish mountain bands and isolated Turkish outposts, and. instead, now be ing confronted with the regular Turk ish army concentrated on -the Turco- Persian border before Khanikin, the Russian Bagdad expedition has come to a temporary standstill. The Turks are reported to be putting up a desperate resistance, apparently determined to delay at all cost a further advance of the Russian army. The highest tributes are paid by all Russian observers to the courage and the fighting ability of the Turks, who are defending with particular stub bornness this entrance to Mesopotamia. According to recent details received of the battle 6t Serlnal-Kerind the Turks made almost superhuman efforts to prevent the Russian occupation of this fortification. The entire garrison died fighting, but without accomplish ing its purpose, since, after only a short delay, the Russian forces swept onward toward Khanikin. In front of this important point the Turks now have constructed a series of fortifications and. considerably rein forced by troops from other points in Mesopotamia, are said to be prepared to defend Khanikin with every means in their possession.

Storke. boy wizard of.bigh finance, who set La Salle street by the ears two years ago. is under arrest in Denver charged with forgery and em bezzlement. When taken Into custody in Denver Storke was accompanied by a young woman, whom he introduced as1 Mrs. Storke.

American people would do well to consider the method employed by the Eng-Ilsh to combat this In sidious disease. Everyone knows how damp the Kngllsh climate Is and how dampness affects those suffering- from catarrh. In Enelsnd they treat catarrhal deafness and head noises as a constitutional disease and use an Internal remedy for it that Is really very efficacious. ' Sufferers who could scarcely hear a watch tick tell how they had their hearing restored by this English treatment to such aa extent that the tick of a watch was plainly audible seven o- eight Inches away from either ear. Therefore. If you know someone who la troubled with catarrh, catarrhal deafness or head noises, cut out this formula and hand It to them and you will have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness. The prescription can be easily prepared at home for about 75o and Is made as follows: From your druggist obtain 1 ox. of Par mint (double strength), about 75c orth. Take this home, and add to It 4 pint of hot water and 4 ounces of granulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take a tablespoontul tour times a day. Parmlnt Is used In this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflammation and swelling In the Eustachian Tubes, and thus to equalise the air pressure on the drum, but to correct aa excess of secretions In the middle ear. and the results It gives ars usually remarkably quirk and effective. Every person who has catarrh la any form should rive this recipe a trial and free themselves from this destructive disease.- Adv. The auIeklT afettt. rart tn4 sand aallv.
