While here she needed some work done on her teeth and went to the office of Dr. Ayres, at 8 South Second street. Mrs. Campbell says she believes that while her sister was having the worn done, the dentist mentioned that he was trying to get a young girl t.o look atter his two small children. Bessie Guyer was men tioned and it was Bessie Guyer who was employed as the child nurse. Mrs. Campbell nays thai. 10 her recollection, she did not remain with the dentist's family more thau tnree or four months and that then she went to her home in Williamson and not Mechanicsburg, as Dr. Ayres had thought. Mrs. Camp bell said that at the time she was em ployed by Dr. A.vrcs, she was thirteen years old. Some time after Bessie Guyer left the Ayres' home, the dentist and his family moved from this city, going to Philadelphia and from there to York. According to Mrs. Campbell's story, the Ayres' have made several efforts to have her return to their "home and that it was not more than four years ago that Mrs. Ayres communicated with her and asked her to come to York. She was married, however, and j would not comply with the request. v Defends Dr. Ayres 'II do not see why Dr. Ayres' name lias been brought into the case." said Mm. Campbell. "I always found him a perfect gentleman and 1 will say that If murder was committed in that house, my former employer knows nothing of it. It must have been com mitted since he left there. As far as 1 am concerned, I can say that I am very much alive and have not been murdered and burled in a cejlar." Besides Mrs. Harssy, Mrs. Campbell has another sister, Mrs. Oscar Baker, of Sharpsburg, Md„ whose maiden name was Miss Lottie Guyer, and a brother, Walter, who also lives in the Maryland town. Strange Coincidence Turns Up A strange coincidence was developed in the inquiry as to whether Bessie Guyer was living or dead. In the in vestigation made by Telegraph men in Mechanicsburg, it was learned that a girl named Guyer and her mother had been deserted by the father about 1889. It could not be recalled. It could not be recalled that the girl s first name was Bessie but it was un derstood that she Hod not been seen for about fifteen years. Information brought out the fact that the girl was about thirteen years old at the time she left Mechanicsburg. Then came some faint recollection that the moth er had given the child to a Mechanics burg family to raise. Further inquiry led to the finding of the mother living in a little house along the side of the mountains back of Enola. To this place, through six-incli mud, a Tele graph reporter traveled. The mother. Mrs. William Guyer, was found and she said that her daughter's name was Edith and that she was living In Phil adelphia r.n-a was married to a man named Fred Glorious. She said she never knew of her daughter working for a Dr. Ayres and a telegram to the daughter herself ceriflcd this. Edith Guyer was born in 1888 and in 1001 was 13 years old, the same age as the Bessie Guyer who was so much sought after. The girls are now the same age but are not related. In an interview with Dr. Ayres this morning, the York dentist had this to say: "I, too. learned that Bessie Guyer. my fowner maid, was liv ing in Cll ain I >ersb u rg. and that she is married and has several children. 'I nasn't worried a hit alxnit the matter from the start, because T was sure we would locate her. I am glad, however, that the matter has hecn cleared up. because It put me in a rather ugly light in the eyes of some people." Mystery As Deep as Ever The finding of Bessie Guyer now sets the county authorities back to the find ing of the skeleton last Friday morn ing. It was belidved lor the past few days that the bones were those of the Chambersburg woman who was lo cated by Telegraph reporters last evening, but the fact that she has been found deepens the mystery still more. There is now absolutely no clue as to the identity of the girl victim and it remains for further Inquiry tu bo made concerning the occupants of the mystery house. County- authorities way they are able to locate each family residing there and it will now be up to them to grill the former occupants and endeavor to learn a true clue which will help in running down the murderer. With the skeleton there was not the small est trinket or article of clothing which would tend to reveal the identity of the supposedly young victim and now confronting the officers, is one of the most mysterious cases ever developed in the annuls of the city.

Hope is expressed that the American govern ment will unoerstand the position in which Germany has been placed and appreciate the reasons for its course. The reply closes with nn expression of the hope that the United States may prevail upon Great Britain "to re turn to the principles of international law recognized prior to the outbreak of the war," and in particular obtain the observance of the London decla ration by belligerents opposed to Ger many. If this were done, the note ex plains, Germany would be enabled to import food supplies and raw ma terials. Germany would recognize in this, says the reply, an invaluable service toward a more humane con duct of the war and would act in ac cordance with the new situation thus created. The text of the German govern-, ment's reply to the American note follows: "The imperial government has ex amined the communication from the United States in the same spirit of good will and friendship by which the communication appears to have been dictated. The imperial government is in accord with the United States gov ernment that for both parties it is in a high degree desirable to avoid mis understandings which might arise from measures announced by the Ger man admiralty and to provide against the occurrence of incidents which might trouble the friendly relations which so far happily exis£ between the two governments. "With regard to the assuring of these friendly relations, the German government believes that it may, all the more, reckon on a full understand ing with the United States, as the procedure announced by the German admiralty, which was fully explained in the note of the 4th instant, is in no way directed against legitimate com merce and legitimate shipping of neu trals, but represents solely a measure of self-defense, imposed on Germany by her vital interests, against Kng land's method of warfare, which is contrary to international law, and which so far no protest by neutrals has succeeded In bringing back to the generally recognized principles of law as existing before the outbreak of the war. Has Observed Rules "In order to exclude all doubt re garding these cardinal points the Ger man government once more begs leave to state how things stand. Until now Germany has scrupulously observed valid International rules regarding na val warfare. At the very beginning of the war Germany implored the Ameri can government to ratify the new "°c laration of London and took over its contents unaltered, and without for mal obligation, into her prize law. "The German government has obeyed these rules, even when they were diametrically opposed to her militants. For instance, Germany al lowed the transportation of provisions into England from Denmark until to day, though she was well able, by her sea forces, to prevent it. Tn contra distinction to this attitude England has not even hesitated at a second in fringement. of international law if by such means she could paralyze the peaceful commerce of Germany with neutrals. The German government will be the less obliged to enter into details, as these are put down 'suffi ciently, though not exhaustively, in the American note to the Kritish gov ernment dated November 2 8 as a re sult of Ave months' experience. Work Is Admitted "All these encroachments have been made as has been admitted in order to cut off all supplies from Germany and thereby starve her peaceful civil population, a procedure contrary to all humanitarian principles. Neutrals ! have been unable to prevent tho inter ruption of their commerce with Ger- I many, which is contrary to inter, national laws. "The American government, as Ger. I many readily acknowledges, has pro | tested against the British procedure. In spite of these protests and protests 1 from other neutral states Great Brit ain could not be induced to depart from the course of action she had de cided upon. "The German Government feels itself obliged to point out with the greatest emphasis that a traffic in orm«, esti mated at many hundreds of millions. Is being carried on between American firms and (Germany's enemies. "If it is a formal right of neutrals to take no steps to protect their legiti mate trade with Germany, and even to allow themselves to be influenced in the direction of the conscious and wil ful restriction of their trade, on the other band, they have the perfect right, which they unfortunately do not exer cise, to cease contraband trade, especi ally in arms, with Germany's enemies. "In view of this situation Germany, after six months of patient waiting, sees herself obliged to answer Great Britain's murderous method of naval warfare with sluirp counter measures. "The German Government is resolv ed to suppress with all the means at its disposal the importation of war ma terial to Great Britain and her allies, and she takes it for granted that neu tral Governments, which so far have taken no steps agaiinst the traffic In arms with Germany's enemies, will not oppose forcible suppression by Ger many of this trade. "Acting from this point of view, the German Admiralty proclaimed a naval war zone whose limits it exactly de fined. "Germany is ready, finally, to delib erate with the United States concern ing any measures which might secure the safety of legitimate shipping of neutrals in the war zone. Germany cannot, however, forbear to point out that all its efforts In this direction may be rendered very difficult by two cir cumstances; first, the misuse of neutral flags by British merchant vessels, which is known to the United States; second, the contraband trade already mentioned, especially in war materials, on neutral vessels. "In order to prevent tho conse quences of confusion—though naturally not so far as mines are concerned Germany recommends that the United States make their ships which are con veying peaceful cargoes through the British war zone discernible by means of convoys. "How this method of convoy can be carried out is a question concerning which Germany is to open negotiations with the United States as soon as pos sible." WHAT SCIATICA IS There is something terrifying about the word sciatica. Yet sciatica is nothing but neuralgia of the sciatic nerve and neuralgia Is an inflamma tion caused by lack of nourishment. Application of dry heat as hot sand bags or flannel to tho course of the In flamed nerve often quiets the pain but it does not feed the nerve. It is tem porary relief, a good thing to know about, but not a remedy. What causes the nerve starvation that results In neuralgia and sciatica and how may it be corrected? The most common cause is a run down physical system and a frequeni exciting cause is exposure to cold Thin blood is often at fault. It la through the blood that the nerves get their nourishment. Mortal man knows of no other way of getting nourish ment to a nerve. Therefore when the blood gets thin and falls to feed the nerves they show their resentment by becoming inflamed. Try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at this stage and see how the inflammation subsides as the en- Iriched blood carries to the starved nerves the elements they need.

A Message to Thin, Weak, Scrawny Folks An K«»y War to Gain 10 to 30 lbs of Solid, Healthy, Pcrniuncnt Kleifh Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and women everywhere are heard to say, "I can't understand why I do not get fat. 1 eat plenty of good, nourishing food." The reason is just this: You cannot get fat, no matter how much you eat, unless your digestive organs assimilate the fat-making elements of your food in stead of passing them out through the body as waste. What is needed Is a means of gently urging the assimilative functions of the stomach and intestines to absorb the oils and fats and hand them over to the bipod, where they may reach the starv ed, shrunken, run-down tissues and build them up. The thin person's body is like a dry sponge—eager and hungry for the fatty materials of which it Is being deprived by the failure of the alimentary canal to take them from the food.
