PROVISIONALLY
ACCEPT NOTE
[Continued From First Patio.]
shall be immune l'rom attack under
previous assurances.
Secretary L<ansing explained fully to
the ambassador the position of the
United States in the light of the new
developments and is understood to
have told him that while Germany's
position is recognized as well founded,
the. United States must insist that Ger
many conform all her practices to in
ternational law, inasmuch as the en
tente allies have declined to make any
changes.
X'cw \'otc Asked
The Lusltania agreement will, be
kept by Secretary Lansing and later
will be published, with the assurances
which the United States hopes to re
ceive from Germany covering the
points brought up by the new sub
marine campaign.
The new assurances, if they are
given, would be embodied in a sepa
rate note. Meanwhile, it was said, the
United States would make efforts to
have the entente allies agree not to
put guns of any kind on passenger
carrying liners and in turn would ex
pect assurances from Germany for
their safety.
It was understood the principal ob
jection of the United States to accept
j ing the Lusltania agreement as gov
erning the future was that it merely
referred to the assurances previously
given that unresisting liners would not
be sunk without warning, but it did
not actually embody or reiterate them.
Ambassador von Bernstorff when he
returned to his embassy sent a long
dispatch to his government setting
forth fully the position of the United
States as Secretary Lansing had out
lined it to him.

other chance.
First Degree For Kotur
"So confident are we of Kotur's in
nocence," said the former recorder
to-day, "that we intend to carry the
appeal to the Supreme court if neces
sary."
Kotur was convicted of murder in
| the first degree after an hour's delib
eration by the jury last evening
Should Kotur's efforts to obtain an
other trial prove fruitless he will be
the first murderer from Dauphin
county to be executed in the elec
tric criatr.
Kotur, who up until the rendering
of the jury's verdict had retained a
stolid indifferent attitude, flushed an
grily at the jury's announcement. To
the astonishment of the courtroom
which had been under the Impression
that he could neither talk nor under
stand English, the Bosnian sneered at
the jurors:
The Jurors' Thanks
"T'ank. you—t'ank-a-you, so
mooch!" he cried as he was led from
the courtroom.
Novokovic's testimony, which will
be attacked by the defense in its ap
peal for a new trial, was to the effect
that he had seen Kotur strike Backlc
to the floor of 725 South Third street
; and then grind his heel upon Backlc's
upturned, helpless face.
The last thing he saw, as he climbed
to bed that night Novokovic declared,
was the prone Backlc with the fur
ious Kotur standing over him with a
knife,
Zeppelin Reported Lost;
Many Killed and Much
Damage in Fierce Gales
London. Feb. 17. —A Rotterdam dis
patch to the Daily Mall says that dur
ing yesterday's stoijin a Zeppelin was
blown adrift, apparently from Bel
gium, and wrecked at Blerik, near
Venlo, where it was seized and in
terned by the authorities.
Reports from the provinces show
that the storm swept over the whole of
England and Wales. Shipping on the
Thames was damaged considerably.
Some vessels ran aground and others
were in collision.
MANY SHIPWRECKS
Paris, Feb. 1 7.—A gale swept France
yesterday and caused serious damage
in Paris and in the provinces. A num
ber of shipwrecks have been reported
from the maritime districts and the
Channel services have been delayed
and at some ports entirely interrupted.
Reports from the front describe the
weather for the last forty-eight hours
as the worst experienced since the
war began. The gale was particularly
severe in the Belgian district, where
roofs were blown off the houses, trees
uprooted and many persons injured
and where a large section of territory
was flooded.
SITUATION CRITICAL
Amsterdam, Holland, Feb. 17, via
London.—The northwesterly storm is
still blowing with undiminished vio
lence and the situation is described as
critical. Reports from various places
of the damage which has been done
are causing grave apprehension.
Monnikedam has suffered consid
erably. At Volendam twenty houses
have been abandoned. The railway
embankment between Purmerend and
Oostzaal. in the same province, h&s
been destroyed, threatening a fresh
catastrophe. The breaking of the
dykes around Westlinder lakes at
Aalsmeer, eight miles southwest of
Amsterdam, appears to be inevitable.
YOUTHFUL FORGER HELD
Ray Stephens, aged 17. 303 South
Seventeenth street, charged with forg
ing his sister's name on four checks
which were cashed at. the East End
Bank, was held under SI,OOO bail by
Alderman George V. Bolton, of the
Twelfth ward, after a hearing last
night. He was committed to jail in
default of ball.
YOU'REBILIOUS!
CLEAN LIVER AND

Don't stay headachy, sick, or

Wake up feeling fine! Best lax

Enjoy life! Remove the liver and
bowel poison which is keeping your
head dizzy, your tongue coated, breath
offensive, and stomach sour. Don't
stay bilious, sick, headachy, constipat
ed and full of cold. Why don't you get
a box of Carcarets from the drug store
and eat one or two to-night and en-
Joy the nicest, gentlest liver and bowel
cleansing you ever experienced. You
will wake up feeling fit and fine. Cas
carets never gripe or sicken like salts,
pills and calomel. They act so gently
that you hardly realize you have taken
a cathartic. Mothers should give
cross, sick, bilious or feverish children
a whole Cascaret any time—they act
thoroughly and are harmless. —Ad-

Moans Removal of Nearly 500
Telegraph and Tele
phone Poles
In line with its policy to keep pace
with improvements in Harrisburg, ]
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, i
to-day authorized an expenditure of |
$75,000, to place telegraph and tele
phone wires underground. This will '
mean the removal of between 300 and 1
500 poles located between the Penn- |
sylvania passenger station and Di
vision street.
Along with this improvement will
come the consolidation of the gen
eral telephone exchange at the Penn
sylvania station with the Reity street
branch, and increased telephone
facilities. Work on placing the wires
underground will start as soon as the
weather permits.
Poles to be removed carry from 20
to 40 wires. They are on the south
side of the railroad between Market
and State streets; on Poplar street be
tween State and North streets; on
Seventh street between North and
Maclay streets, and along the rail
road between Maclay street to Di
vision street. Blueprints are now
being made for the placing of con
duits and cables.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
| contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and 5s
very harmful. Just plain mulsifled
cocoanut oil (which is pure and en
tirely greaseless> is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use. for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses
out easily, and removes every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly
! and it leaves it tine and silky, bright,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.
