Washington, FeS>. CO. —Official texts
of Germany's reply to the American
note on the naval war rone and Great
Britain's replies to the American note.-!
on the use of the Americau Aog and the
Wrthelmina case, all arrived to-day
tho J-'-tate Dep-artment.
The German reply, delivered by the
Berlin Foreign Office three days ago t >
Ambassador Gerard, had been deiayol
in transmission. It was at once con
verted 1 rem the diplomatic code and
sent to the White House to be laid be
fore the President, who, however, had
already been informal of its contents
by Mr. Gerard' and the unofficial text
published two davs ago.
German Note Friendly
With the official text at hand, how
ever, the President aud his advisers
will begin formal consideration of Ger
many's reply to the warning of the
l T nited States against destruction of
Americnu ships or lives in the naval
war /.one aiiout the British Isles. Gen
erally the tone of the German note has
been regarded as friendly.
Great Britain's reply to the re,ire
mentations on the use of the American
flag bears upon the American view of
the German reply ami the next step in
the negotiations with Berliu, for. in
expecting Germany to identify Ameri
can ships before attacking them by
submarines, the I'nited Statw is anxious
there shali be no general use of the
American flag by foreign vessels. The
State Department is willing to let the
Wilhelmina case be adjudicated by a
prize court and thus lay the legal foun
dation for other proceedings of a like
character.

that no American warships would" be
use,! to convoy American merchantmen.
The "Kreuz Zeitung" says:
"If this report is correct and Secre

bility rests on America for all the ac

Say* Indignation Bwolta From An
IZCM of Hydrochloric
Acid *
Undigested food delayed in the stom
ach decays, or rather, ferments the
tame as food left in the open air. says
a noted authority. He also tells us
that Indigestion is caused by Hyper
acidity. meaning, there is an excess of
hydrochloric acid in the stomach which
prevents complete digestion and starts
food fermentation. Thus everything
eaten sours in the stomach much liko
garbage sours in a can, forming acrid
fluids and gases which inflate the stom
sch like h toy balloon. Then we feel
a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we
belch up gas, we eructate sour food or
have heartburn, flatulence, water-brash
or nausea. ,
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar
! mncv fpur ounces of Jad Salts and take
a tablespoonful in a plasjr of water be
fore breakfast and drink while it is
effervescing and furthermore, to con
tinue this for u week. While relief fol
lows the first dose, it is important to
neutralize the acidity, remove the gas
making mass, start the liver, stimulate
the kidneys and thus promote a free
flow of pure digestive .iuices.
.'ad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon

PANAKA-PACIFIC
EXPOSITION OPENS
CsatiiiH Proas First Pas*.
American Union are repreaented at the
.exposition.
Starts at 3 O'clock, Eastern Time
Washington, Feb. 20. —-Everything
was ready to-day for President Wilson
to touch a button at 3 p. m„ giving an
electric signal for the opening of the
Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Fran
cisco at noon, Pacific coast time.
The ceremony occurred in the East
room of the White 'House, where places
were reserved for members o ftho Cabi
net aud the California delegation in
Congress. Assistant Secretary Roose
velt, of the Navy Department', was in
vited as the representative of the gov
ernment exposition board.
Arrangements were made so that at
the iPresident's touch one signal would
flash by telegraph to San Francisco and
another would go to the wirelesa station
at Tuekerton, N. J., to be relayed to
San Francisco by radio. It was tirst
planned to senil the wireless flash
through the government station at Ar
lington, but that detail was changed.
It \vns decided not to have the Pres
ident talk by long distance telephone
to San Francisco, as Secretary Lane is
attending the opening of the exposition
as his official representative.
BRIBEBY ATTEMPT ALLEGED
Offering a bribe to a State officer
to try to induce him to overlook a
crime is attendant with trouble. In
Northumberland county recently, ac
cording to reports received to-day in
tho State Fire Marshal's Department,
a fire occurred the origin of which was
regarded as suspicious. A deputy tire
marshal was sent there to investigate,
and in a very short time he obtniued
evidence which led him to have the
owner of the place of business arrested.
After being held for trial the man
charged with the crime of arson hunted
up the deputy fire marshal.-going to his
home in another town, and, it is al
leged, offered him $25 to drop the case.
The deputy heard the Jinan's offer and
stationed two witnesses iu au adjoin
ing room, where they could see and
hear all that occurred, and then had
the man repeat the proposition and

being opposed. Hearing in the case of
Harry White, whose petition for at re
newal of the license for his Middletown
hotel ie beirvg opposed by a largely
signed remonstrance, ended late yester
day. The court reserved decision.
I John Mackert, a beer bottler with
an establishment in Lenkerville, innne-
I diately south of Milleraburg, withdrew
his application lust evening whan the
court called for n hearing on the re
monstrance filed in the case. Violations
of the liquor laws were alleged by the
remonstrants. Counsel for Mackert an
nounced, in withdrawing the license
petition, that MackertV business hnd
fallen off within the last year and thftt
the sales have diminished more than
fifty per cent. District Attorney Stroup
said to-day that he is not decided
whether he will bring criminal prosecu
tiou against Mackert.
Fail to Appear in Wiconlsco Cases
Neither attorneys nor laymen ap
peared as remonstrants when the judges
called for hearings in the cases of the
five Wioonisco township hotels, the ex
istence of which 119 resident* of the
district tdoclared is not necessary, and
the court passed t.h>e case over without
i announcing decision.
The cases on which the court yet
seeks information are those raised by
personal letters sent to Judge Kunkel.
One attacks the St. Lawrence Hotel,
Berrvsburg. and tho other the Hoffmnn
House, Market street, this city. The
present holders of tilie licenses, attor
neys for tho applicants said this morn
ing. will disprove the ch«rges.
The present licenses of the hotelmen,
brewers, bottlers, wholesalers and dis
tillers will expire at midnight February
The opposition to the licensing of
the I'axtonia Inn, a hostelry w'hich
prior to a year ago was licensed for
many, many years, is due. Lower Pax
ton township residents said, to team
sters and chauffeurs having become in
toxicated at the place in former years
and having driven, recklessly on the
Ijinglestown rond, making travel on
that highway dangerous.
Not What He Calls "Dancing"
Bckinger produced a number of wit
nesses, all of whom said the hotel is
necessary for the accommodation of
travelers. Some went on to tell of large
quantities of beer and whiskey that in
days gone by had *been sold at the
place. Since the bar has been closed,
declared Edward Shutt, a dairyman,
the Linglestown road frequently is
strewn with bottles and empty beer
cases.
" riiev buy this stuff in Harrisburg
| and as they go along the road they
j just chuck the bottles and boxes over
I the Slide of the autos," he said.
Samuel Fleegal said a licensed hotel
is not necessary in T"oxtonia and de-
I clare<l that when the inn was a "drink
j ing place" it was a gathering place for
women of ill rOpute. He also stated
! that while he was a bartender at the
j hotel, some years ai'o, the then pro
j prietor complained that the business
j was dull and not sufficient to pav the
employes.
Daniel Pin if rock said he often had
heard that danoing wan allowed at the
Inn but added: "I never saw them
dance.''
The witness said he frequently visit -
od the place in the evening and that
statement caused the court again to ask
the witness whether he saw aancinsr in
the hotel.
"Oh they were not dancing," he
said. "They ju«t hopped around. It
wasn't like the way we used to dance.''
E. J. Dare always had 'been in fear
that he would be run down, he said, by
one of the recklessly driven autoe that
traverse the Lingiestown road.
"That road is crowded with automo
biles when we go to market in the
morning at 2 o'clock," he said, "and
a man has to be cautious to drive on
it."
"FALSE," DECLARES JH'CORMICK
He Denies Moore's Charge of Conceal
ing Campaign Expenditures
The charges of Congressman J.
Hampton Moore, of Philadelphia, that
Vance C. McCormick, of this city, Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor in the
last campaign, had concealed his elec
tion expenses were denied emphatical
ly yesterday by McCormick, who said
his expense account was filed at the
State Department hero following the
primary and after the general election,
and it showed the items of expense and
contained the vouchers. McCormick
said further:
'' The statement of J. Hampton
Moore, as published, is absolutely false,
but I can readily understand how, with
his political affiliations, it would be
difficult for him to conceive of the filing
of an honest campaign expense ac
count.
"I wish Mr. Moore would assist in
bringing about an investigation in the
United States Senate of the alleged |
corruption in the last campaign in 1
Pennsylvania. I have not heard of Mr.!
Moore or any of his political associates
urging such an investigation as Mr. Pal
mer has been fighting for."
