"Hucont events have made it abso
lutely o&sontial that Ireland for hor
own sake, to guard her own highost

should make it plain to tho whole
world that aha is wuuuk and eager to

"There has been slackness ig re
cruiting in the agricultural districts,
fct winning tho war is of tho groat-
St importance to Irish Mgrieultur

thero is danger of every Irish tenant

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3. Count
Von Hcrnstortf, tho Gorman ambas
sador, today received a brief mossago
from the llerlln foreign ottlce, dis
patched January 31, informing htm
that his latest Instructions on tho Lu

diately. Tho ambassador expects to
recolvc them probably tomorrow.
HKHLIN, Fob. 3. The feeling
which has been prevalent, In Gorman
circles that a crisis Is at hand In
German-American relations, particu
larly In regard to tho l.usltanlu case
has moderated, If only In slight do
nreo by tho semi-official announce
ment regarding tho forwarding to
tVmbassador Itcrnslorff at Washing
ton of Instructions which glvo hope
of a definite settlement.
Tho Bourse, which has been de
pressed by this situation, recovered
nomewhat on publication of tho an
mouncement. FIIANKFOHT ON Till: MAIN, Feb.
II. Tho Frankfurter Zoltung, whoso
'Utterances on certain subjects nro ro
uardod ns inspired, publishes an nr
(Iclo In which vigorous objection Is
'expressed to the tone adopted by tho
press of Hcrlln In discussing Secre
tary Lansing's nolo on submarlno
warfare and the arming of merchant
inon and In partlculur to tho state
ments made In Hcrlln that tho pro
posals aro Inaccoptable to Germany.
dt dissents from the position takon
'by tho Kreuz Koltung and Professor
Von Stengel that Germany has no
lutorost In negotiations rogarding the
freedom of tho sons, since liugland,
with Amorica's assistance. Is only us
ing tho negotiations to wrest from
Germany's hands hor submarlno
weapons. To this tho .oltung ro-
Jeins:
' Unsatisfactory Hosults
"It Is n gross offonso, not only
agalnst'lntornational law, but against
tho most elementary conception of
good morals to charge openly that tho
United States with which Gormany
is now nut at enmity Is putting forth
offorts in tho sphcro of International
law merely with tho porfldous pur-
iplso of helping Kngland."
Turning to tho present status of
itho Lusltaula case, tho Zoltung saya
It cannot bo Ignored that tho nego
tiations have tukcu an unsatisfactory
form.
"Apprchonslons of this kind," it
says, "must oxist in America also, as
Washington uvldoutly Intends to dis
pose of tho I.usitaula casu at the same
tlniu as the general question of sub
marlno warfare and Is using the Lu
sltanla cuso to obtain Germany's con
sent on tho genoral quostlon."

It hints that this is a very ob
Jectlonablo proceodure, Involving se
rious possibilities.
"That pooplo In Amorlca are think
ing of bringing tho mattor to a docls
ton," adds tho Zoltung, "Is evident
from tho fact that Mr. Wilson has
sent Colonel House to Kuropo, pre
sumably to obtain certain Informa
tion from belllgoronts. Wo hope that
no brouch of relations not to men
tion somothlng worso mny follow
botwoon Gormany and tho United

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 3. President
Wilson told nn audience o-15,000
cheeriii)c persons in the Colisojim hero
today that tho United StnlcMUhould

"I believe tho nnvy of tho United

said, "the (rented iu tho world."
. The president declared that subma
rine commanders abroad bnvc in
structions which for tho most part
conform with international law, but
that the net of one commander might
set the world a tire, including Amer

bountiful supplies America is sending
out to tbo world and any ono of
those cargoes, nny one of those ship

For the first tuno during tho tour
the president told of how onu-jsot of.
