BERLIN, via Tho Hague to London, Feb. J*.?(10:35 p. in.)?Gottlieb von Jngow. the German foreign secretary, who was visiting Herlin in tho ab sence of Emperor William on the eastern front today explained to the correspondent of the Associated Press the nature of the recently announced German naval measures to he taken against hostile commercial shipping, over which, he said, there seemed to he misapprehension abroad owing to delay In the transmission of the mem orandum accompanying the proclama tion. The phrase 'submarine blo. k ade" as used in the foreign press, the secretary said, perhaps also was re sponsible for this misapprehension. "The announcement was not a dec laration of n blockade," said Herr von Jagow. "All n uest ion s as to its va lidlty promised on this theory are ex eluded. The proclamation designated waters around Great Britain and Ire land as a war area, announces Ger many's intention to conduct war op erations in this region, and particu larly to destroy commercial ships of the enemy. "England months ago declared the whole of the North Sea a war area. German warships heretofore have de stroyed merchant ships belonging to the enemy only when there was every certainty that their passengers and crew could get away safely. Hut in the future this, forbearance must he hvbordlnated to military considera tions and since England, by measures inadmissible under international law, has paralyzed neutral commerce with Germany in an attempt to force upon the German civilian population death by starvation." "Anyhow." continued Herr von Ja gow. "hostile merchantmen have no claim to consideration if, as in part already has been the case, they nro armed or offer resistance to the Ger man naval forces. Since the British admiralty on January 31 Instructed British merchantment to use neutral flags, neutral ships, even without tak ing into consideration the unavoid able accidents of war,, run the risk of being mistaken for hostile mer chant ships and of, fulling victims of attacks intended for these ships. "It was to thla danger that the an nouncement particularly called atten tion. "The German naval forces of course have received orders to use no vio lence against neutral ships so far us these are recognizable as such, but . tbi.3 confidential instruction by the ; British admiralty as to the use of I neutral nags makes such idcntilica ! t ion a matter of extreme difficulty, j Neutral shipping, therefore, can only be urgently warned again, as in the earlier announcements, to avoid the indicated war zon? uutil'further ' ! notice." No' protests, according to Herr von Jagow. have been received from neu tral states concerning the admiralty j measures, although several of them, be said, had applied for Information as to its scope.

(From Wednesday's Pally.) When the ease against Ernest Mill er, charged with cheating and swind ling, was called yesterday iu the re corder's court It was discovered that thu alleged offense had heen coimnlt teed outside of the city limits of An derson and was. therefore not within the jurisidiction of the recorder. The ilefendant was, of course, dismissed. It was rather a smooth trick Miller was charged with having performed. In fact, if he did what It was charged that he did. he comes about as near solving the problem for which ancient alchemists gave their lives ?s anyone who ever existed on this .sphere. In short. Miller \va? charged with chang ing the baser metals into silver, and hy a process involving the manipula tion of various acids. The base metal he was charged with turning Into silver was one cent pieces, which, it Is charged, he made into dimes by treating them with some kind of acid thut turned the copper the color of silver. Ii appeared that a negro passed one of these fake dimes on a Greek and received in exchange two five cents packages of peanuts. The mat ter was reported to the police. Later on a negro approached the officer and showed him one of the fake dimes for Which he had given a negro two nickles. This led to the arrest of Miller. It was also reported thut one 3f the fake dimes was palmed off a negro working for the People's Fur niture compuny some time uro. > Just how many of tho so-called limes are In circulation, no one knows, of course; but it is not im probable that the one who worked the trick fleeced the public while. the fleecing was good. If the matter comes to the attention of government authorities It Is practically certain that the negro will be hauled up for Investigation in the federal court. Tampering with the money of the gov ernment in such a manner as this Is a very serious offense. Teachers Expect to Have One of Best Ses sions of Season Satur \ day.
