In the early morning. Maxwell, who is a vocalist of wide reputation, con ducted the singing in conectlon with the chapel exercises in the Steel*build ing, afterward singing several selec tions for them. Among the numbers- were, "There, Little Girl, Don't Cry," "Mother Ma chree," and "The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground." This last he taught the children, and their singing of it was a splendid demonstration of their hearty patriotism at the present time. At 2.30 Evangelist Bodell preached upon "Growth In Grace," and In this ad dress the evangelist dealt with the things necessary to maintain and de velop the Christian life. He said that too many Christians were made, and that too few were grown; that the only real Christian is the Christian who grows because of the principle of life in the heart. He found that there was a real analogy between the natural life and the spiritual life; that the natural life consisted of breathing, eating and exercise; that prayer was the vital breath of the Christian; that the Bible was the Christian's dally bread; that work for Christ was the exercise that kept the Christian healthy and happy in his living before God. At 4.00 p. m. Maxwell met the Sun beam chorus for rehearsal and at 7.30 was the large evening meeting, at which Evangelist Bodell preached upon "No Man Cared for My Soul." To-night there will be the big meeting at 7.30, and to-morrow afternoon no meeting, but Saturday evening a concert by the Sunbeam Chorus. State Beekeepers Begin Convention State Zoologist J. G.

TEUTONS STICK TO "GOOD WILL" GAG \ Author of Note to Mexico Again Professes "Friendship" For America By Associated Press Berlin, Wednesday, Feb. 28, by Wireless to Sayville, March 2* ln his address in the Reichstag to-day in regard to relations between the Unit ed States and Germany (a portion of which was received by cable yester day) Foreign Secretary Zlmmermann related the circumstances of the at tempt at continuing negotiations be tween the two countries through the Swiss legation at Washington, and after saying it was easy to understand that the government endeavored to avoid everything which might cause war with America, continued: "We examined the suggestion from the Swiss minister from the standpoint of these considerations. From the very outset we were absolutely certain that submarine warfare ought to be limited In no case and in no manner by concession on our part. Obviously our wish to come to an understanding with America can be accomplished only in the event that it is possible without conflict with our declaration of barred zones, which we are firmly decided to maintain against our ene mies under all circumstances. Forced to U-Boats "It was only after long consider ation that we decided to use our sharp est weapon. You know, of course, of our negotiations with America and af our honest and sincere peace offer and the rebuke by our enemies. To our attempt at reconciliation our ad versaries opposed their will to annihil ate us and thus nothing was left us but to take up the last and best wea pon. "From the standpoint of these con siderations I said in my answer to Am erica merely that Germany now as before was ready to negotiate on con dition that establishment of the bar red zones against our enemies be not impaired. We only hinted at our readiness to enter into more detailed negotiations with America in regard to the admission of passenger ships." No Negotiations "The Swiss minister at Washington transmitted our communication," Secretary Zimmermann continued,"and thereupon received from Mr. Lansing a note in very polite terms. Mr. Lan sing said he was authorized by Presi dent Wilson to say that the govern ment of the United States would very gladly and willingly negotiate with Germany if Germany cancelled her decision of January 31. This being absolutely impossible the negotiations had to be considered as a failure be fore they really had begun." German and Japanese Ministers in Mexico Know Nothing About Plot Mexico City, March 2. —H. von Eck hardt, German minister to Mexico, de clared that he knew nothing about the instructions alleged to have beer, silt to him by Foreign Secretary Zim mermann regarding a German-Mex ican alliance in the event of war be tween Germany and th United States. Von Eckfa r dt made this statement In replying to the quest'on whether he had followed the instructions alleged to have neen sent to him by Dr. Zim merma:,n. "You must go to Washington for your iriforn ation," the Minister said. 'lf j t.u must say something, yau may say i'jt Ge>-iuan M nisier knows noth ing ttixsiit ail this." Ta;nekichi Ofcta, charge d'affaires for Japan, declared he had not been approached in any v/ay with a pro posal fj. any alliance with Mexico or Germai y against the United States. Gaiza Perez, Sub-Secretary of For eign A ffairos now in charge of the Me?.i\iri Foreign Office, declared he know nothing of th proposals men itioncd. If the proposal had been pre sented by M'nlr.tf r von Eckhardt, which he pernor,.jt'ly doubted, he said, it was presented direct to Minister of Foreign Affairs Agul'ar or General Carranza. Henry P. Fletcher, the American Ambassador, left yesterday with For eign Secretary Agullar for Guadala jara, General Carranza now is. The trip was hurriedly afranßed and kept secret until the party was well on the way. It seems to be the general opinion among well-informed public men here that the proposal outlined in the Zim mermann note probably has not been definitely presented to General Car ranza by Minister von Eckhardt, al though this is only a surmise on their part.

Bone Dry Bill Goes Through House Again Washington, D. C., March 2. The conference report on the Post Office appropriation bill, Including the Reed "bone dry" prohibition amendment and providing for continuance of the present pneumatic tube service in a number of cities, was adopted last night by the House. The Senate Is ex pected to take similar" action not lator than Saturday, and then the measure will go to the President for his signa ture. The bill had hung fire in conference because the House conferees refused to accept the pneumatic tube provi sion, and once all hope of an agree ment had been abandoned. Under this provision pneumatic tube contracts in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and St. Louis are to be continued for an other year. Under the Reed amendment, which prohibits importation of liquor into any prohibition State, about one-third of the United States will be added to the "bone dry" area.

LITTLE LILLIAN ROMAINE FISHER CAN TALK AGAIN This attractivo lit.tlo lady I two year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. | O. M. Fisher, 238 North St., Harris j burg, Pa. Last winter she had an at tack of measles, together with a very S severe cold. Just at that time Drug j gist S. J. Wilhelm presented Mr. j Fisher with a jar of the Southern I "outside" treatment —Viclc's Vapoßub Salve, which was just then being in troduced in Harrisburg, and requested that he give this preparation a thor ough trial. Mr. Fisher writes— "l must say that our babjr had such a cold on her chest and in her throat that she could hardly talk, and we could not get her to take anything internally. After we used Vick's Vapoßub Salve on her breast and throat at night before going to bed she was entirely relieved." No family should be without this preparation. It is externally applied, and so can be used freely—it is ab sorbed through and penetrates the ! skin, and, in addition, is inhaled as a vapor. It has a hundred uses for the i many minor ailments for which every I mother is the doctor. Three sizes. 25c, 50c or SI.OO.
