mar?timo war. Since the time when
Frederick tin? Gf|at negotiated with
John Adam?, benjamin Franklin and
Thomas Jeiii-reon the treaty of friend
ship and commerce of Bctouiber 8,
1785, between Prussia and the re
public of tho Weat, German and
American -statesmen have in fact, al
way? stood together In the struggle
for the freedom o? the ?eas and for
the protection of peaceable trade, in
the international proceedings which
since have been conducted for the
regulation of the laws of maritime
j war Germany and America have Joint
j ly advocated progres?lvo principles,
! especially UK abolition of the right
j of capture at ?ea and thu protection
of thu Interests of neutrals.
Safety for Civilization.
"Even at the beginning of the
present war the Gurman government
immediately declared Its Willingness
in responso to proposals of the Amer
ican government, to ratify the decla
raiion^f London and thereby subject
itself ,?0 the use of Its naval forces
to all . o restrictions provided there
in 1n favor "df neutrals. Germany
likewise bas been ul ways tenacious of
the principle that war ?should be con
ducted against the armed and organ
ised forces of au enemy country but
that thc enemy-civilian population
must be spared as far as possible
from the measures of war. The im
perial government cherishes thc defi
nite hopo that some way will bc found
earlier, to regulato thc law of mari
time war in a manner guaranteeing
tho freedom of thc seas, and will wcl
. come lt with gratitude and satisfac
tion if it can work hand in hand
with thc American t government on
that occasion. *
"If in tho present war thc princi
pien which should bo tho Ideal o;
the futuro have been traversed moro
and moro, tee longer its duration,
the eGrman government has nb guilt
therein. It is known to the Ameri
can government how Germany's ad
versaries, by completely paralyzing
peaceable traffic . between Germany
and neutral countries, have aimed
from the very beginning and with
increasing lack of consideration at
the destruction net BO much of the
armed forces aa ?ie lifo of the Ger
man nation, repudiating in doing so
all the rules of international law and
disregarding all rights of neutrals.
Knglnd to Blame.
"On November 5, ; 1914, England
declared tito North Sea a war area
and by planting pyorly anchored
' mines and by the stoppage and cap
ture of vessels made passage ex
tremely dangurous .and difficult for
neutral shipping, so (by) that ac
tually blockading neutral coast and
j ports contrary to ail international
law. Long before -the,beginning of
submarine war England practically
! completely intercepted legitimate
neutral navigation to Germany also.
Thus Germany was driven to a sub
marine war on trade. On November
14, 1914. tho English premier de
clared, in tho, house of commons that
it waa one ' of England's principal
tasks to prevent food tor tho German
population ?rom reaching. Germany
via neu--al ports. Since March 1
England hos been taking from neu-;
tral ship?; without further formality
all merchandise proceeding to Ger
many, as\*?ttU as all merchandise
coming from Gormany, oven whett
neutral property. Just as lt was also
with tho Rohrs the German people
is now to bo given the choleo of por
ti ishlng from starvation with lt women
?nd children or ol relinquishing ita
Independence. 1
"Whllo our enemies thus loudly and
oponlx..p.rftcl.atui-gd without morey
our utter destruction, we were
conducting a war in self-defense for
our nj$la?rav cxistenco and for the
sake of peace of an assured perma
nency. Wo have boen obliged to
? adopt -a aubmarlne warfare to meet
T the declared intentions of our ene
mies and tho motbods of wartaru
adopted py ?them In contravention of
" International law.
] "flight, SnBSjr"-a?d Did.
"Withcott ita efforts in principle
to protect neutral Ufo and property
from damage as much as possible,
the German government recognised
unreservedly in ls memorandum of
February 4; that the interests of neu
trals might suffer from the submarine
warfare. However, the American
government wiil also understand and
appreciate thmat in tho fight for cx
; latence, which has been forced upon
i Gcrmnny ?by Ita adversario, sand au
siouuccd by them it is tho sacred duty
of thc imperial government to do all
'bin Its power to protect apd save
tho lives of German subjoots. If thc
imperial government were dercllst in
: those its duties, it would bo guilty
brenre God and history of the viola
Mon of those principles ot highest
1 umanlty which are tue foundation
of every national existence.

that these vessels have no contrabatid

the unhampered passage of these
vessels to tie ugreed eu by the naval

"In order to furnish adequate fa

TOW running In tili? paper. Hundreds
3f people are buying them, and later
in when you happen to see a sut of
Lheui and learn how cheap they were,
yoxi will want to raise a row for
not getting somc of them.
Tb,, first week we put out the
the Sou i Carolina spoons, this last
week i was tho North Carolina, and
next week It will be the Alabama, and
tbo Btato seal of Alabama is regrded
'jy many as one of the very prettiest
among tho entire collection.
We did not at first buy enough of
the South Carolina spoons, so we had
to buy moro o? them. They hove
not .reached us yet, however, but
wc expect tnem In Monday or Tues
day ht the latest. We have a few
moro of the Nor?i Carolina spoons,
and those who contemplate getting
spoons of the old Tar Heel State will
have to hurry, for hereafter when we
have exhausted thc first supply, wc
will not re-order any of that Btatc.
in other words, wo will sell the first
order of each state, and when thc/
ara gone, there will bc no more of
that state ordered. We arc compell
ed to do this as there is no prolit in
this spoon proposition; we aro only
selling them as an advertising
scheme, and there is nothing in lt for
ds, hence we will order one lot for
rneh state hereafter and when they
are sold, we will not order any moro
of that state..
We have already sold over three
hundred of the South Carolina
spoons, and there are a great nura
u?r oi reasons waiting for tho new
