Nothing has been decided regarding

No decision has been reached on
how to protect American merchant

SUSTAINING A REPUTATION'.
It is a noble goal to get a good rep
utation, but much nobler it is to sus
tain it. The cases of abusing and de
ceiving the favorable public opinion
are too frequent in our days. Rut re
member: Triner's American Elixir of
Rittc-r Wine will never disappoint its
friends. That is why the afflux of
thankful letters is so steady. Read
this: "Ilaselton Station, Youngstown,
O. I suffered from pains in my stom
ach for twenty-three years. I spent a
lot of money without result. I was so
weakened that I was near death and
there seemed to be no help for me.
Then a drutrgist said: Take Triner's
American Elixir of Bitter Wine. I
foi lowed his advice, and soon my con
dition was so improved, as if I was
born anew to this world, and now I
am well. Let everybody do the same.
From the bottom of my heart I thank
you for all that. Jacob Novovol."
Don't accept cheap immitations! Price
$1.00, at drug stores. Triner's Lini
ment has the same excellent reputa
tion, being unexcelled for i hav:maLk:m,
neuralgia, sprains, ehilblanes, etc.

WAITING
German's Detention of James Gerard
.May Add to Complications.
Austria I!'maiiis Siient About Follow
ing Kaiser's Submarine Policv.
Washington, Feb. 7. The state de
partment has received a report that
American Ambassador Gerard has
reached Homo. Switzerland.
Washington, Feb. 7.
German authorities havi
Reports that j
decided to '
hold Ambassador Ge-ard in LVrlin un
til assured of good treatment of Count
Ik-riiStortr by the Washington govc-rn-me.it,
threw it new element into the
German-American situation today. ()f
nciidis were hopeful, however, that
Great Britain's promise of safe con
duet, for the ambassador and party
for the sea trip home will rpeedily
lemove any possible intention cf de
taining tlie American representative.
Confirmation of the reported detention
was sought at the state department
today.
The government is still waiting for
some act of Germany which might
make relations suddenly more serious,
but it was stated last night after the
cabinet meeting that nothing had oc
curred to change that attitude. The
next step of the United States, if one
shrudd be neee-ssary, would be taken
without add.: er '"ng any eomm irucation
to G.rmary, it was de.-kaed authori
tatively. Congress an 1 all executive depait
ments of the government were pro
gressing t'r-y in 'heir preparation-;
for any eventuality.
A break with Austria seemed to de
pend mainly on the re ply of Ambas
sador Penfold at Vienna to the state
depat tmer.t's inquiries concerning de
tails of the Austrian submai ine note,
which officials row admit has luen re
ceived. In the senate, the resolution ap
proving the break with Germany was
to.be called up today. Its adoption
appeared certain but not without de
bate which promised to be dramatic.
The naval bill, with its $ir,000,000
additions made by the house yester
day, was still before that hotly today.

Washington. D. C. Feb. 7. The
steady stream of reports telling of
the destruction of merchant ships, by
German submarines was brought to a
climax by a telegram to the state de
partment from Consul Frost at
lueenstov. n, announcing that the
liritish passenger liner California had
been torpedoed without warning and
that, an Acmh-an ctti.e'n was among
survivors.
Whether this will prove to be the
evert art to drive the United States
into war no one would attempt to say
tonight, provident Wi!on, who mu-'
make tin decision, had letired when
t! ne ws can e and oiiirials did not
wake him. Late in the afternoon he
had been informed of a niess;tye
from Constd Frost telling of the sink
ing of the California, but giving no
details :ts io warning or ti.o pre-eiice
of Americans.
Tiie pre-Ident undoubtedly will
wait for complete reports on the dis
aster before determining whether the
time has come for him to go to con
gress to as!-: authority "to u-e any
lumens that may I necessary for the
people."
l -to cor.su!
first
eo
d tlieie
was "one death ar.el thirty hospital
cases" among the more than - peo
ple on board the liner. Ti e second
added no information concerning cas
ualties except that the su'-vivors were
larded at Quceii.-town tonight, among
them being John A. Lee of Montgom-
ry.
.ia., i:;e eitlv
!v American known
to have been aboard, and that some
still were missing including tv. o
women and several children.
Lee i-; siipvosed t hav been a
:r.emb.-r of the crew as his name does
... , npp-;.i on t no Te'sser.irer ii t made
public at Now Yin'!:.
The fact that the Ann rican o c:.v.
ed lessened, in eiegree, the excite
metit created by the news, but n'y
in ii degree. ?.!.-: t'u.n a r-oiv ef
merchant craft has been sent to the
bottom in the war r.one within thc
p.tst twenty-fevr hours, and fifty or
more since the German proclamation
of ruthless warfare on the seas went
inio eilect l-it Thuivelay.
It is r nlired that if no citi.en of
the United Sn.tes was among the
victim.-, it merely was a fortunate
accident, and that ii, can only be a
matter of hours be jre American.?
are caught in such wh .desalo destruc
tion. The California which was bound
from New York for Glasgow, is the
first big passenger steamer to be de
stroyed since the Arabia was torpe
doed in the Mediterranean months
ago.
Her sinking has about swept away
the last lingering of hope here that
Germany, after all, would permit pas
senger carriers to escape in an ef
fort to avoid forcing the United
States to hostilities.
The message from Consul Frost
came at the close of another day de
voted to energetic preparations for
the war regarded as virtually inev
itable and to guarding against any
act by the United States which might
porcipitate hostilities.
The most important step taken
during the day was the sending of
telegrams by Secretary Lansing for
mally notifying American ship owners
that the state department could not
advise them as to whether their ves
sels should sail on voyages through
the war zone, but at the same time
stating that the rights of American
vessels to traverse all parts of the
high seas were the same as they were
prior to the issuance of the German
declaration and that neutral vessels
may take necessary measures to pre
vent or resent attack if it believes it
it liable to be attacked unlawfully.
