Almost everyone who came into the office- asked some question about the balloon. .

Lat er, Mr: Harry Oelsberg advised us that the man's name was Masle Johnson, and that he,lived on Mr. Daniels' place three, miles from Anderson. He got a pair of $2.00 children's sh OOM for Unding that balloon tag. A negro man, who failed to give his name turned in the tag colling for the seit filling fountain pen given by Marchbanks & Babb.

H||.-|/t self'obliged to point out with the greatest emphasis that a traffic ot armB.'(estimated at many hundreds ot millions, ls being cerrled on between American firms and Germany's, ene mies. Germany fu?ly comprehends that the practice of right and the,.tole ration of wrong oh the part of neu trals are matters absolutely at the Sycretlons of neutrals, and involve no formal violation of neutrality, ?eruany, therefore^ did not complain 2f any ?ormai violEl?oa ol' iientrt?lityt but the German government, in view of complete evidence before it, can not bel? pointing out thst it, togeth er with the entire public opinion'of Germany, feels itself to be severely prejudiced by the fact thst neutrals in safeguarding their right In legit I inate. commerce with- Q>rma*ny ac cording to international law haye, up Lo the pr?sent, achieved no,, or only Insignificant, results, while they are making unlimited use of their right by carrying on contraband traffic with Great Britain and our other enemies. "It IB "If lt is a formal right of neutrals to take no steps to protect their legi timate trade with Germany, and even to alina* themselves to be influenced in the direction of the. conscious and wilful restriction of their trade, on the other band, they have the perfect right,- which they unfortunately do not. exercise, to cease contraband trade, especially 1 narnia, with Germany's enemies. Using Seme Method, "Di vir.v of this situation Germany, after ala months cf patient waiting, Bees herself obliged 'to answer Great Brltain'i murderous method of naval warfare with sharp counter 'measures.. If Great Britain, in her. fight against Qermany, summons hunger ss an ally, for the purpose of Imposing upon 'a civilized people of seventy millions the. choice between destitution end starvation, or submission to Great Britain's commercial will, then Ger many i? determined to take up the gauntlet and appeal to similar allies. "Germany trusts that the neutrals who so far have submitted to the dts sqvaatageous consequences of Great DrltfliA'*. hauser war in alienee, or merely In registering a protest, will Replay towards Germany no smaller measures, tike those of Great Britain, measures of toleration, even if Germa? measures, like those of Great Bri tain, present new terrors of aavtal var fare. 'Moreover, the Germas government. 1?; resolved to suppress wltlf all the neans at tts disposal, the Importation >f war material to Great Britain and 1er allies, ead sb? takes lt for grant Mi that neutral governments, which so 'sr hsve taren no steps against the raffle lp a/ms with Germany's ; en?j ales, will not oppose forcible sup pression ^ by Germany of this trado. WUI Destroy Hostile Vessels. "Acting from this point of view, the berman admiralty proclaimed a naval var sone whose limits it exactly de land. Germany, so fur as possible, till seek te close this war zone with nines, sad will also endeavor to de trey hostile . merchant vessels in ?my other way. While th? German povernmsnt in raking- action basad tpon this ovorponexlng point of ytew. teeae itself ?r removed from all in entUmra destruction of neutral lives ?ad property, on the other band it doe? uot fail to recognize that from the action to be taken agatnit Great Britain dangers arise which threaten all trade within the war zone, without distinction. .This is a neutral result of mine warfare, which even under the strictest observance of the limits of International law endangers every ship approaching the mine area. The German government considers itself entiled to hope thut all neutrals will acquiesce fn these measures ss they have dose In the case of the grievous damages Inflicted upon them by Brit ish measures, ali the more so as Ger many is resolved, for the protection of neutral ship<>hVT. even In the nsval war zone, to do everything which is at all compo.tble with the attainment of this object. Gave Ample Notice. "In view of tho fact that Germany gave the first proof of her good will in fixing a time limit of not less than fourteen days4 before the execution of said measures, so that neutral ship ping might have an opportunity of making arrangements to avoid threat ening danger, thia can mom surely be achieved by remaining away from the naval war sOne. Neutral vessels, which, despite this ample notice which greatly affects the achievement of our alms In our war against Great Britain, enter t*-eae closed waters will them selves bear the responsibility for any unfortunate' accidents that may occur. Germany disclaims all responsibility for such accidents and consequences. "Germany has further expressly an nounced the destruction of all enemy merchant l?esela found within the war cone, but not the destruction ot ai' merchant vessels, as the United States seems erroneously to hsve understood' This, restriction which Germany im poses upon itself ls prejudicial to thc atm of our warfare, especially as lr the application of the conception ol contraband practiced by Great Brltait towai ,IH Germany-which presumptiot will not also be similarly Interprete* by Germany-the presumption will be that neu*.; al ships have contrnbani aboard, vier many naturally ls un willing to renounce its rights to SB certain (he presence pf contraband li neutral vessels, and In certain casa to draw conclusions therefrom. Ready to Deliberate With I7.R. "Germany is ready, finally, to de liberate' with the United States con cerntng any measures which mtgh secure thc safety of legitimate ship ping ef neutrals in the war zone. Ger many cannot, however, forbear t point out that all its efforts In th! direction may be rendered very ililli cult by two circumstances; first, th mtsure of neutral flags by Britts! mei chant vessels,! which is ind'ubltabl known to the United States; second the contraband trade already men tipped, especially war materials, o neutral vessels. "Regarding tba. latter point, Gei many would fain hope that the Unite States' after further consideration, wll cqme to a conclusion correspondi? to the spirit of neat neutrality. Rt garding the first point the secret 01 der of the British, admiralty recon mending to Brillen merchant sais the use, of neutrat flags, has been con munica'ted ty Oe/many to thc Uni ed States and confirmed by commun cation from the British foreign o flee, which designates this proceed ut aa entirely unobjectionable and in at cordanco with British la/r.

In tb? circumstances it would be very din cult for submarines, to recognize n? trat merchant ships, for search most esses cannot bc undertaken, so lng that, in the case of a diagulsi Brltlch abip from which an altai may be expected the searchiag par and the submarine would be expo* to destruction. "Great Britain, then, waa in a poi Hon to make the German measur Illusory If the British merchant fie persisted jin the misuse ot neutr flags and neutral ships could n otherwise be recognized beyond doul Germany, however, being In a state necessity, wherein she was placed Violation of law, moat render effectl her measures tn all circumstances order thereby to compel her adversa to adopt methods ot warfare con spending with international lani, a so to restore the freedom of the sc of which Germany at all times is t defender and for'which she.tcBay fighting.
