THE GERMANS WANT FOOD If United States Will Furnish Them and Refuse Allies Then All Will Be Well. Berlin, via London.?Germany's reply to the protest of the United States against designation of a naval war zone about the British Isles is couched in the most friendly terms, but firmly maintains the position of Germany as already announced. The note, which has been transmitted to Washington through the American Embassy, explains that Germany's action was made necessary by Great Britain's policy of attempting to cut off the food supply of the German civil population by a method never recognized in international law. England's course in ordering merchantmen to fly neutral flags, equipping them with artillery and ordering them to destroy submarines, Germany oontends, renders nugatory the right of search and gives Germany the right to attack English shipping. The reply closes with the expression of hope that the United States may prevail upon Great Britain "to return to the principles of international law recognized prior to the outbreak of the war" and in particular obtain observance of the Declaration of London. If this were done, the note explains, Germany would recognize in thitfs, says the reply an invaluable service toward a more humane conduct of the war and would act in accordance with the new situation thus created. FLEE BEFORE GERMANS. Populous Towns In Eastern War Zone v > Emptied of People. Petrograd, via London.?The German advance from East Prussia upon the towns of Kovno and Grodno appears designed to cut the railroad communications to Warsaw, rather than to an effort to take the Russian fortified positions in that territory. Along the line from Plock to JNiemen, about 200 miles in length, there has been intermittent fighting. From all the towns in this district, the most populous of the empire, the civil population is fleeing, thronging the highways and railroads. The German tadvancfe guards are reported to have proceedd from Augustowo towards the railroad between Grodno and Bialystok and to 1 1 J 1(1 /># 4-VkSN uave ieituueu wauiu ihhot ui luc former place, where they are said to have been checked by the Russians. The Germans also are reported to be attempting to break through between Kovno and Grodno, taking advantage of the 1 frozen Augustowo marshes and Niemen River, and facing the possibility of an early thaw which might leave them at the mercy of the Russians. The line to the north of Warsaw of Blonck, Nowo-Gorgiewsk and Serock, is well defended. Frank James is Dead. Excelsior Springs, Mo. ? Frank James, of the notorious James gang, died on his farm near here. James, who was 74 years old, had been in illhealth several months and was stricken with apoplexy.

Lee, has presented to Miss Margaret Wilson, for the White House collection of presidentical chinaware, a plate of the George Washington dinner set. It is one of a set presented to General and Mrs. Washington by American officers of the Society of the Cincinnati, founded at Annapolis in 1783 by American and French officers who served in the Revolution.

Richmond, Va.?Two men boarded the first section of train No. 61 of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad Company, due here at 12:30 o'clock in the morning, and after overpowering the express messengers threw the safe from the doorway and escaped on a heavy grade running up to Franconit a short distance north of Fredericksburg. It is believed that the men boarded the train in Washington. While the train was nearing Franconio they entered the car and held up the messengers. Appropriation Bill is Up.

Struggling in Carpathians. London.?In the absence of any striking news from the two European battle fronts, public attention in England was centered on the threatened blockade of the British Isles by German submarines and mines in retaliation for Great Britain's act in prohibiting the carrying of food to Germany. . . Great Britain received through Ambassador Page Germany's offer to withdraw her threat of a blockade if the British Navy will permit the free movement of foodstuffs to the civil population of Germany. It is not believed here the offer will be accepted. In fact, Great Britain already is preparing to retaliate against Germany by placing under more stringent control ships destined to German ports; and a proclamation momentarily is expected declaring a blockade of the German coast, or ait any rate, the prohibition of foodstuffs destined for Germany. The Cabinet considered this question and it is understood the decision is awaiting formal confirmation by the Privy Council. In the meantime British and neutral vessels are moving as freely as usual, except those belonging to a few Dutch lines, which have reduced their number of sailings. Norwegian and Danish insurance companies have given instructions that steamers insured by them shall 'have their National colors, the names of the ships and the country of their origin painted conspicuously on tbe sides of all vessels. Holland and Italy, like the United States, have protected to Germany against lier ar zone threat and have asked Great Britain not to make free use of neutral flags. Similar representations are expected to be made to the two countries in a joint note by Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Will Not Furnish England Shells. Pittsburg, Pa.?For "humanitarian reasons", a large local steel company has declined to bid on a contract to furnish the British government a consignment of drop forge shells for which $450,000 was offered. Big Batting Mill Burned.

The loss will be between $50,000 and $60,000. partly covered by insurance. No Change In Mexican Situation.

CLAIMED STATE'S RIGHTS PALMER BILL PASSES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BY THE. VOTE OF 232 TO 44. Vi/ould Bar Products Made in Whole or In Part By Children From' Interstate Commerce. Washington.?The Palmer bill to bar products of child labor from interstate commerce was passed by the house 232 to 44 after a lively debate and the issuance of a writ of arrest for absentees to suppress a filibuster. Opposition to the bill, led by Representative Byrnes of South Carolina, was based on the contention that jt interfered with the state's rights. The measure declares it unlawful for producers, taanufacturers or dealers to ship or deliver for transporta tion in interstate commerce the products of mine or quarry made wholly or in part by children under 16 years old, or, products of mills, canneries, workshops, factories or manufacturing establishments made by children under 14 or those between 14 and 16 who work n^ore than eight hour? a day, or more than six days a week or after 7 o'clock at night Inspection by the Department of Labor would be authorized and fines of from $100 to $1,000 or imprison- ' ment'from one month to a yeaT, or both imposed for violation. When Representative Palmer proposed suspension of the rules to pass the bill several Southern members protested and started a filibuster. JANUARY EXPORTS OF COTTON. 300,000 Bales More Exported This Year Than During Last January. Washington?Cotton exports were I beyond normal proportions during Jan! uary. The quantity was more than 300,000 bales greater than last year, according to the monthly report of the census bureau. Cotton used was less than the usual January total, as 500,000 fewer spindles were operated during the month. Manufacturing establishments held less cotton Janue.ry 31 than they did a year ago but in independent warehouses, the quantity on hapd was greater by 1,800,000 bales. Exports included 585,534 bales to the United Kingdom; 217,982 bales to Italy; 99,913 bales to Germany, 70,901 to France and 397,845 bales to all the other countries. Total' exports for the six months ending January 31 were 2,500,000 bales less than during that period last year. May Be Ship Trust Lobby.

Charlotte.?"If not another cotton boll should ever grow upon a Southern field, If not a dollar of income should ever be derived from any investment of ours. I charge you that our missionary obligation would not > be lightened by a feather's weight." Thus did Robert E. Speer "face the situation" in this address to the | I Fourth Annual Convention of the Laymen's Missionary Movement of the Southern Presbyterian church. He ur spoke to an audience that packed the city .Auditorium to the limit of its g capacity. In addition to 3,500 regis- c( tered laymen, hundreds of women were present. The responsibility is now America's, said Mr. Speer, to say whether or not the Gospel shall be carried to Co: transcontinental Nations. With the an crippling of the missionary activities the of the countries Involved in the war, avt the position of undisputed leadership the In misision work is projected upon era the United States.

In the space of 20 years : four great wars were fought, in vol v- *cc lng bigger Issues than are now at ^ stake. In addition to the European struggle, our own country was drenched with the blood of an Internecine on< strife. i "The greatest single event in the r0 history of evangelistic convention ef- api fort in the Southern Presbyterian j Church" was the manner In which to Dn.
