aboard ship in British waters here to

except government officials and in

cordon of naval boats of every descrip

where the Frederick was at anchor in

The monotony of the enforced stay
was relieved somewhat when a baifh
of American newspapers was taken
aboard, to be eagerly read by Count
von Bernstorff, who in known to be
keenly interested in the development
of the international situation since his
departure from New York on Wednesday.
It was learned that the examination
of the Frederick's cargo was well under
way tonight. Some of the inspectors
intimated that it might require a week
or more to complete the examination.
There was a. stir along the water

British headquarters in
FRANCE, via. London, Feb. 17. (From
a staff correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press.) The cold which has held
the western front frost-bound for near
ly a month is gradually moderating situation with cheerfulness,
and it is easy to sense all along the
battle line an unmistakable quicken
lng which tells of the approach of
Spring and foreshadows the coming to
Crips of the greatest armie3 yet as
tembled In the world-war.
Already these armies are reaching out
toward each other, testing various
parts of the lines and attempting to
discover the most likely point of con
tact for the beginning of the titanic
struggle that is expected to make this
the decisive year of the conflict. In
anticipation of eventualities, the Ger
mans have removed the civilian popu
lations from the cities and towns in
proximity to their line, but no such
precaution has been felt necessary be
Hind the allied front.
Roar of Guns Ever Gaining.
Never silent, the British guns are be
glnnincr to roar more and more stead
ily. Tonight they are booming with
particular violence In the sector of the
iSomme. From a distance the bombard
ment might easily be mistaken for the
grumbling echoes of a passing Summer
Rtorm. The chorus of guns rises and
falls like great peals of thunder and
there are flashes In the darkened sky
like the play of lightning along the
horizon.
New groups of divisions have been
recently identified along the German
lines, bearing out reports of great
troop movements now going on In Ger
many. British officers, however, say
that this concentration Is not as for
midable as it appears at first sight.
They say that many of the so-called
new divisions of their opponents are
merely a rearrangement of old dl
visions.
German Lines Rearranged.
These statements are based on In
formation carefully collected during
the continuous trench raids. In a raid
undertaken this week an apparently
new Bavarian division was located. It
was afterward discovered that thi
corps had been made up from regi
ments taken from older divisions,
namely, the Fifth. Sixth and Seventh.
Another maneuver carried out by the
Germans has been a combing out of
regiments and divisions by which
groups of 25 of the youngest men were
taken from each company in the line
and sent back to Germany to form
new units or corps d'elite. British of
ficers believe that it is on these corps
d'elite that Field Marshal von Hin
denhurg . is placing his greatest re
liance. Jt - -
According to the Information ob
tained here the gaps in the companies
have not been filled and the diminu
tion in numbers has been covered in
some instances by reducing infantry
regiments from four battalions to
three. One infantry company was re
cently encountered with a rifle strength
of 72 out of a re'gulation complement
of 173. Landsturm regiments have re
cently been identified on the front
here. They had formerly been em
ployed In patrolling the Dutch frontier
and protecting lines of communication.
Picked Men In Trenches.
According to prisoners, the picked
men of the landsturmers are in the
trenches, while those who are unfitted
for the hardships of the firing line
are on duty at the depots in the rear
Utilizing the landsturm battalions in
this way permits the organization of
the young men divisions in Germany,
and it is these latter, British officers
say, whose movements are now re
ported and who are depended upon to
withstand the shock of the coming
battle. Many boys of 17 and 18 have
also been found in the German trenches
by the British raiders.
Stubborn Resistance Expected.
The British point of view is that the
last three words of this statement con
stituted an admission that doubts were
entertained in German circles as to the
reliability of their troops. There is
no disposition, however, to underesti
mate the stubborn resistance that the
Germans have the power of making.
The evacuation of Grandcourt by the
Germans and other minor successes
won by the British in their initial op
erations are lnterpre.ed as meaning

Los Angeles Man Gives Out a Simple

Mr. Carl Smith, living at 905 S. Grand

Mr. Smith said: "I took two high-
priced treatments for the liquor habit.
both of which failed. Then I heard of
the following simple recipe which I
tried. It quickly banished my desire
for liquor and greatly benefited my
health. To 3 oz. of water add 20 grains
of muriate of ammonia, a small box of
Varlex Compound and 10 grains of pep

Labor Department and Factory Ow
era to Co-operate In Helping.
Aliens Pass.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. During the
two weeks since the diplomatic break
with Germany, foreigners living in the
United States, notably Germans and
Austrians, have flocked to the courts
to become American citizens in such
numbers that Labor Department offi
clals said today the total could not even
be estimated.
An Idea of the unprecedented rush
for naturalization papers is afforded
by the fact that one day alone more
than 50,000 certifications of naturaliza
tion were issued. To meet the demand
the Department has ordered the issu
ance of more than 100.000 blanks to be
distributed to examiners throughout
the country.
For the first time in the history of
the Department, factory and mill em
ployers with large numbers of foreign
workers on their paj'rolls will aid their
employes in a wholesale way to become
American citizens. Tens of thousands
of application blanks will be distrib
uted among such employers to facili
tate their reaching employes who de
sire naturalization.
In a number of mills special instruct
ors win De cesignated to coach em
ployes in the requirements necessary
to obtain citizenship and Departmen
examiners will afterwards meet appli
cants in squads and inform them more
in detail as to what win be expected o
them and how to pass the tests imposed
by the courts.

bound from New York for Plymouth
and Cherbourg when her commander
was warned that war had been .de
clared. He turned back and found
refuge at Bar Harbor. Me. On board
the steamer was gold shipped by the
Guaranty -'rust Company and the Na
tlonal City Bank of New York to
bankers in London and Paris, and these
banks libeled the vessel, claiming dam
ages of j:. 300. 000 because of the fail
ure to deliver the consignment. In No
vember, 1914, a United States Marshal
took possession of the steamer, which
was brought to Boston, where she has
since been tied up.
When Count von Bernstorff received
his passports the libelants sought pro
tection of the vessel from damage by
the crew, with the result that United
States Marshal John J. Mitchel took
physical possession of the ship, putting
the German captain and crew ashore.
It was then found that the machinery
had been tampered with, making it
impossible to navigate the vessel until
many and expensive repairs had been
made.
The libelants sought damages in the
United States District Court, where
they were refused. They appealed, and
the United States Circuit Court of Ap
peals overruled the lower court and
sent the case back for a hearing on
a petition for the sale of the ship,
which was heard today, and for the as
sessment of damages, arguments on
which will be made March 3.
The plaintiffs alleged that the ves
sel had been wantonly damaged and
asked that" she be sold forthwith. Coun
sel for the owners asked for a delay
of two weeks until orders could be
eceived from the officials of the Isorth
German Lloyd line at Bremen and also
that the case be delayed until tne
Supreme Court had passed upon tne
owners petition lor a review 01 me
case, which was expected on March 5.
This reauest came after the testi
mony of Captain Polack. and the court
replied that the owners appeared in
contemnt and so had no standing in
court. The court ordered mat tne ves
sel he sold bv the Marshal on April 11

Hhe machinery of the boat inoperative.
Questioned by Attorney Ldward K.
Blodgett. counsel for the libelants
Captain Polack said that last Spring
soon after the steamer Sussex was
sunk, he was summoned to New York
by his company's office and introduced
to a gentleman who said he represented
the German government. This man
told him that trouble had arisen be
tween the United States and Germany
and It was about time for him to de
stroy the ship's papers: He was warned
his ship should not tail into nostiie
hands.
In subsequent questioning Attorney
Blodgett insisted that the witness had
spoken of "ships" instead of a ship, the
inference being the captain had re
ceived orders also to have damaged
the two other vessels of his line tied
tip here, the Koln and the Wittekind
The witness was positive that he had
spoken only of his own ship, but Judge
Morton intervened to say mat ne also
had understood the witness was speak
ing of ships. Captain Polack. however,
repeated that he had reference only to
his own vessel.
Vessel Damaged January 30.
Returning to Boston, he arranged
with his chief officer and chief engi
neer for the disabling of the ship upon
the receipt of a code telegram which
he was to send. On January 28 he
started for Hot Springs, Ark., but
stopped over in New York. During his
stay there he received his orders to
damage the ship, and on January 31
despatched the message agreed upon
to his first officer. Returning to Bos
ton that night, he found the chief en
gineer engaged in crippling the ma
chinery. Mr. Blodgett asked when and where
he received his orders and replied "on
January 31. at the docks of our com
pany in Hoboken. I was in the offices
just before noon. Others present were
the superintendent of the company.
Captain Moller, and a representative of
the German government. I was already
in the oftice of the superintendent when
the latter gentleman came in."
The question of the Identity of this
gentleman was then disposed of, atter
which the witness continued: "I was

COMMISSION TO FIX PRICES
Agreement Signed by Manufacturers
Only After Secretary Outlines
Limits to Which. Government
Will Go to End Monopoly.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. Personal
action by President Wilson to restore
normal prices of print paper and a spe
cial seeslon of Congress to pass
remedial legislation confronted print
paper manufacturers. It became known
today, before they gave up their right
against the Government's attempt to
restore normal conditions In the trade.
The President's intention were
placed before the manufacturers by
Secretary McAdoo, who told them that
the Administration did not intend to
see an alleged monopoly through extor
tionate prices place greater restraints
on the press than the Government It
self was empowered to place. At the
same "time the Federal grand Jury in
New York was preparing to bring indictments.
The sequel was the action of the
manufacturers in signing an agreement
permitting the trade commission to fix
fair prices.
It is understood that the Administra
tion is going further and taking cteps
to guard against any shortage of sup-
artificial: eyes
Special Announcement
Prof. Kohler will arrive March 5 and appointments will now
be made for the hours between 9:00 A M. and 5:00 P. M.,
March 5 to 11, inclusive Monday to Sunday.
NOTE: We earnestly urge that all who are interested in
securing: artificial eyes, either for themselves or for friends,
notify us at once to reserve time for them. The situation is
such that the securing of satisfactory artificial eyes may soon
become impossible; it is a German.art, handed down in fami
lies from fathers to sons, and so many of these men were
called to the war that not a single artificial eye has been sent
to the United States since July, 1914; the supply in this coun
try is now almost exhausted. Prof. Kohler makes the best
artificial eyes this country ever has had; his matching is
simply wonderful.. Those who take advantage of his visit
will fortify themselves against possible future needs; those
who neglect this opportunity run serious risk of being able to
get only very inferior artificial eyes, repulsive to others and
annoying to themselves or, even worse, none at all!
