BERLIN DEMANDS PLEDGE
OF NO A TTA CK ON U-BOA TS
Continued from 1'm.e (Inn
!.n'L.en ?'!'ic.c,etl' Secretary Lansing Is
.1 'J,'00'1 t0 ,mvo Insisted, however, that
this aoycrnment's acclaimed policy In
respect to the right of merchantmen to
arm for protection be carried out.
In the ovent Hint the latest suggestions
arc not accepted within a week, It was
predicted that "months of diplomatic ex
changes are Inevitable."
Ambassador ricrnstorff said he did not
expect to seo Secretary Lansing ngnlti
llCinra llflVl llnnlj 1l l.lM-t.l .1.-. l.
must ask his own Government for fur- '
ther Instructions.
WILI, KEEP l'LKUOES.
The Ambnssndor Is understood to have I
told tho Kectetnry thnt Ocrmany will I
stand squarely by her pledges nlrcadv
made regarding submarine warfare, but
that she could not waive any rights to
3 nk armed merchantmen not of tho liner I
cines.
The position of tlio fnltcd Slates, It la
understood, Is thnt It requires a pledge
In writing from Germany that liners
shall be Immune from unwarned attack,
even though armed. The Ambassador
took the position thnt In ruder to give
such n pledge It would bo necessary for
the Tutted Stntcs to secure from the
Rntcnto Allies n pledge in le'urn that
under no clicumstnnccs would nrmed
liners use their guns except for defense
Tho Ambassador pointed out that Hilt
Ish tnerchnnl vessels have nttrmpted to
ram nnd sink submarines, and thnt co
lonff ns the Hrltlsh regulations ns com
piled by tho Admlrnlty remain In opera
tion Herman submarines are In danger
ir iney try in exercise the right of stop
page and search on nny vessel carrying a
gun.
Tho conference between the nmlinssndor
nnd tho sccretnry has brought tho entire
submarine situation to n decidedly more
serious singe. H Is known that Teutonic
representatives did not believe that Ger
many can comply with the latest Ameri
can request, excepting with the single
condition thnt the I'nlted States secure
from tho Allies positive pledges that their
merchant vessels no longer will resist tub
marines. Ambassador von Uernstorff ex
pected to communicate nt once the Intest
proposals to Dcrlln.
LUSITANIA CASK UXSf.TTLKD.
Jloanwhllo the t'nltcd States will main
tain a waiting attitude, nnd tho I.usltnnla
case remains unsettled.
Oillclnls expressed belief that tho United
States will endeavor to obtnln the pledges
dcklred bv Germany from tho Allies that
llnors will not attempt to uso their guns
except for defense. Prior to his conference
with A'on nernstorff. Secretary Lansing
had a long talk with Sir Cecil Sprlng-Hlce,
Ilrltlsii Ambassador, it Is believed bo
asked him Just what position Great Hrlt
nln would tako on this question. Sir Cecil
Is exjiected to communicate with his Gov
ernment nt onco on the matter.
Ambassador Gerard, nt llerlln, nnd Am
bnssdor Pcntleld, at Vienna, are forward
ing by innll the complete texts of tho de
crees by tho Teutonic Governments to
treat armed merchantmen ns nuxlllary
cruisers. These texts will enrry with
them all appendixes which cite the Justl
llc'ation for the change of policy. It was
admitted at the State Ilepartmcnt thnt
these appendixes will have n most im
portnnt bearing on tho entire situation.
The text of the Austrian decree nn
nouncin? that all armed ships will be
sunk without warning after February 29,
was given out at the Stato Department
today. It Is almost Identical with the
German decree.
The decree Is bafced on the allegation
that Rrltlsh Admlrnlty oidcrs, found on
captuied ships, nre Instructions to com
manders inciting them illegally to attack
nnd attempt destruction of hostile war
vessels engaged In legitimate exercise of
the right of capture.
This, the decree brands as being In
"direct contravention of tho assurances
(given by Kngland) to the State Depart
ment at Washington."

LAUD NITZSCHE PROPOSAL
The offer of tho Chamber of Commerce
to co-operate with tho trustees of tho Uni
versity of Pennsylvania In a movement
toward tho erection of n $750,000 stadium
at the University of Pennsylvania was ap
proved today by three trustees of the Uni
versity and by many prominent citizens
who nre aroused by the announcement of
tho loss of tho Army and Navy game to
Philadelphia.
Provost Smith said today that the
stadium plans prepared by George K.
Nltzscho, recorder of tho University of
Pennsylvania, have already been sub
mitted to the board of trustees of the Uni
versity, nnd hnvo been referred to a spo
cial stadium committee.
"A splendid tiling," said Louis C Ma
deira, a University trustee, today when
told of the offer of the Chamber of Com
merce to co-operate In tho movement for
a stadium.
John Cadwalader, another trustee. Bald:
"If tho Chamber of Commerce can find a
way to build n stadium It will bo a tine
thins, botli for the University nnd the
city. The loss of tho Army nnd Navy
game Is n heavy blow to tho rlty, and
Philadelphia will boneflt greatly If we can
have a stadium which would seat 10D.OOU
persons. Sticii a stadium would bring
athletic events of national Import to Phil
adelphia.1' Wharton Barker, another trustee, said:
"Tho Nltzscho plans camo before the
board on Monday. I thoroughly approve
of the site, if thoro Is no objection to our
using tho ravine property In tho Wood
lands Cemetery. I don't know whether or
not the lotboldcrs would object to the lo
cation of n stadium In the cemetery.

There's always
a way out!
A down-town merchant
found his "overstock" beyond
his fitrurinir and it was
"seasonable' stuff, too!
How to Ret it "off the
shelves" quickly was the
problem, for there was no
time to fuss .with a trip out
amonK "the trade." His first
tip on the loKtcal way out
came from the Bhippinjr clerk
a practical chap who sup
jrested that he try tho Bell
Telephone method of digRinR
out orders.
The merchant, Just a bit
skeptical, spent an hour with
his list of customers and the
Bell Telephone. That dne
hour so surprised him that
he tried a second!
Paid him ? Well, he moved
that stdck with surprising
rapidity, and saved "bit:"
time and money in the
bargain.
Just like lots of others,
the one fly in his ointment
was that he'd been asleep so
lone to the opportunity which
thousands of others are
courtinc "overtime,"
Yeur telling piobUm can
be solved that may, torn. Try

WOMEN OF 1916 WILL
BE 'REGULAR SPORTS,'
SAYS PROF. MAHONEY
No Drinking, Smoking or Late
Hours for Their Brothers,
But the Girls Will Take
Their Places
CHANGE SHOWN IN PLAY
The woman of 1976 will differ greatly
from her sister of 191C. Not only will she
no longer bo a clinging vine, so to npenk.
hut man Mill have taken her place In that
direction. We may then expect to have on
the Women1 Page:
"How a single young man can live on
$8 "B n week."
"How a young man can preserve his
natural graces by not golfing, smoking or
drinking. And. If he violates nil conven
tions by doing such things he may well
expect to reap the scorn of his sisters and
his cousins, whosj masculinity may best
be cmphnslzed with tho remark that they
arc 'perfect ladles.1 "
All of which Prof. John Dennis Ma
honey, head of the department of Kngllsh
nt the West Philadelphia High School for
Hoys, says will como true. Nay. more.
Doctor Mahoney gives the details In a
satirical playlet, "Mr Smlthors' Conver
sion,11 which he has Just completed, and
which delves Into tho fulure In such a
subtle rnuto that the moral of tho hide
bound conventions encompassing many
women now sinks so much tho deeper.
Hy a clever, bnckhand method, Doctor
Miihoney points out a sltuntlon In which
men ly-en't allowed to drink or do any
thing "nnught."
Tho trlannie evolved by Professor Ma
honey develops as follows:
Mister (ieorge Smlthers, whoso two
peculiarities aro n parting of tho hair In
the middle (nnothcr knock nt some of tho
young men of tho present day who aro 00
years nhend of their time) nnd an nthletlc
disposition, Is a typical young man of
11176. who forms a perfect contrast to his
sister
Maud, perfectly feminine In the 197G
sense, nnd a smoking, modornto drinking,
golf nnd billiard playing girl, whose coy
ness has proven a bar to marriage, which
has also been tho curse of tho llfo nt
Kate Langmcad, the sort of girl that
needs protection, but one ns extinct as a
dodo In the period of Professor Mnhoncy
pictures, and a girl who can't marry be
cause sho hasn't the necessary nerve.
The plot develops rapidly, with moro
rapidity than might be expected. Briefly.
George overcomes the custom of tho times
nnd nsks Knto to marry him. Sho con
sents. They aro depnrtlng hut. stop, what
Is thlB? A brutal friend of Mr. Smlthers
has kidnapped Maud, the Amazonian, and
forced her to marry him.

This is a message to BUSINESS
MEN in the Philadelphia zone
who have won national fame
and to the ADVERTISING
AGENCIES whose intelligent
work has greatly assisted them
in gaining and deserving
national prominence.
The Philadelphia Zone and the New York
Zone are so closely related that each in great
measure is dependent upon the other.
The two zones, together with their environs,
represent one-eleventh of the total population
of the United States, the proportion of repre
sentation of this eleventh, being:
Philadelphia
New York . .
. . 3 parts
..8 parts
In the New York Zone among the morn
ing and Sunday newspapers the NEW YORK
AMERICAN represents ONE-FOURTH of
all the people who read newspapers. ,
All of these people also read evening news
papers, just as the people in Philadelphia or in
any other progressive community read both
morning and evening newspapers.
The value of a morning or an evening news
paper as an advertising medium is not in the
least impaired because of the fact that people
read them both. Each paper fills its place in
the community, and both fill an important
place.
The argument in favor of advertising in
morning newspapers as against evening news
papers, or the argument in favor of advertis
ing in evening newspapers as against morning
newspapers, is the outgrpwth of competition;
that's all.
No arguments against the value of either
will hold water. Both are good advertising me
diums, and wise business men will use them
both. Neither is better than the other, and
the man who claims to the contrary is not a
close student of advertising.
The NEW YORK AMERICAN, as the ac
cepted representative of one-fourth of the
people in the New York Zone, must be accepted
by business men in the Philadelphia Zone want
ing New York trade, as a very important, very
necessary and very valuable advertising me
dium. If any do not recognize its value, then it is
about time that they give it the consideration
it deserves. No advertising campaign in the
New York Zone can be complete without
employing the advertising columns of the
NEW YORK AMERICAN.
For over twenty years ONE-FOURTH of
the people in the New York Zone have de
pended upon the NEW YORK AMERICAN
for their morning news. People become thor
oughly acquainted with a newspaper during a
period of twenty years. They like it and they
read it, and they know where to find in it every
thing they want to read. They expect adver
tisers to furnish them with business news.
They want advertising news in the morning
quite as much as they want it in the evening.
Why not?
All through these twenty years the circula
tion of the NEW YORK AMERICAN has kept
pace with the increase in population in the New
York Zone, thus steadily maintaining its rep
resentation. a fourth of the people.
A very consistent record don't you think
SOi
Do you,fBUSINESS MEN, and you, AD
VERTISING AGENTS, want the trade and
good will of these people?
Do you know of any better way to get it
than by advertising in the NEW YORK
AMERICAN?
