GERMANS FLAY
ENGLAND UPON
FLAG TRANSFER Berlin Papers Denounce the British Admiralty's Admission of Hoisting Neutral Colors on Lusitania. BY LEASED WIRE. BERLIN, Via Amsterdam, Feb. 8. Mingled scorn and indignation are directed against England in the Berlin newspapers today. The scorn is due to the fact that the British admiralty finally admitted that it had ordered the Lusitania to hoist the American flag, while the indignation aroused by the following paragraph in the statement issued by the admiralty in London last night:
"To destroy a Bhip, non-combatant
crew, and cargo, as Germany an
nouoced her intention of doing, is
nothing less than an act of piracy on
the high seas."
The indignation expressed by the
newspapers over this accusation of pi
racy was only a reflection of that felt
at the German admiralty. "Why must England descend to vitu
peration and abuse to strengthen her
cause," one official asked when he was requested to comment on the British statement. "England declared the North Sea a war zone, but Germany did not accuse her of piracy. She planted mines which have blown up neutral ships that disobeyed her warning, but even then England was not branded a pirate. "The English government gave one day's notice as to the war zone it had fixed. We gave two weeks notice. The neutral countries can judge for themselves which showed the greater regard for non belligerents. "Germany's record is clear. England's is not."

-Oliver P. Bogue, has written the following letter from Kingston, Jamaica: , Here we are in Jamaica, the old island, noted for "gators," goats and ginger, where nobody works, not even father. Colored . people galore, and everywhere they are in the ascendency; all . policemen are black and wear blue trousers with heavy red stripes, white belted jackets and white helmets. A few carry maces. There are so many kinds of fruits that I can't remember the names of
half a dozen of them. Some are good,
but mostly insipid. I don't care for
them.
There are a few mosquitoes at this
time of year, but they are of the yellow fever variety. . However, there are no
cases on the island now so they can't
carry the pestilence to us. Our beds
have a closed-ln canopy to keep them off while we sleep. There are no door or window screens. The weather is
hot about 85 to 88 degrees every day
and we rely mainly on ice drinks and
electric fans. We stay out of doors, but in the shade. Women Work Hard. We have watermelon every day, and up in the mountains I saw some fair fields of Indiana corn. They have radishes, cucumbers, squash and various other familiar vegetables) but none as good as we have in the states. The women are the beasts of burden and carry their loads of all kinds balanced on their heads, even pots of hot coffee ready for service. Coffee grows wild, and the berries are red and look like cranberries. The land is not cultivated to any great extant and exists mainly in the state of nature. They don't have time to cultivate land; they merely rest and sleep. Very small mules also carry panniers. The mules are but little larger than hound dogs. There are no snakes, but plenty of birds. The crow is large and is called "John Crow." The military maintains a close surveillance and every German that Is found on the island, or on a ship in
the bay, js put in jail and detained. There are 650 of them here now "being detained." There are a number of
German ships in the harbor, prizes that
have been captured out on the seas. They have some good warships here that are looking out at all times for
German merchantmen.
Evidence of Quakes. We found it necessary to have a permit to leave, but it was easily obtained. 1 am glad that I visited the place, for without personal inspection I could never have appreciated the situation, but I will be delighted to get away. Evidences of earthquakes are j visible everywhere, but we have not
experienced anything of the kind. The little shakes are common and frequent. The last big one was seven years ago this month, when eight hundred people were killed in less than thirty second, and most of the buildings destroyed, with millions of dollars' damage done property. The island is mountainous with elevations up to 7,000 feet. We went up Blue Mountain to Newcastle. 4.000 feet high, on the crookedest road I ever saw, but we liked the experience. Principal Crops. Bananas, siiEar and pimentoes are
the principal crops. The soil
is fertile beyond imagination, but the
noeas 01 me people are so few. that they do not cultivate, much of it The peasant bouses are built of bamboo, twelve feet square, having one room with thatched roof. Many of them are plastered on the outside on one or two sides. They all look alike, and there is no variation in the plan or architecture. All buildings are low, as it is safer. The foliage is very heavy, and coming into the harbor we could not discover any signs of a city with 75,000 people. It was not visible from the
aecK or our ship for reasons stated. We have seen all there is to see here, and are entirely satisfied m
have that within ten days we will be in the states, and will find the weather more comfortable. We came- south to find warm weather and get away from the cold weather, but there is such a thing as getting too much of a good thing, and we are now in that condition.
ABOLISH 2 CENT RATES TO GERMANY The two cent postage to German points reached by direct transit from United States has been abolished according to an order received by the post office today. The postage will be the regular postal union rates of Ave cents for the first ounce or fraction and three cents for each additional ounce or fraction. This rule was made because mail to Germany cannot be sent direct without crossing other countries.
Positive Relief , For Constipation The progress of modern medical science is, perhaps, no more force fully evident than in the simplifying of many of the old time remedies of past generations. For instance, the harsh cathartics and violent purgatives used by our forefathers to relieve constipation are now known to be not only unnecessary but really harmful. Constipation can be more effectively relieved without the discomfort and pain these old-time remedies occasion. A combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is most effective, yet mild and pleasant. It is absolutely free from opiates and narcotics and equally as desirble a remedy for the tiniest babe as for rugged manhood. A free trial bottle can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 452 Washington St., Monticello, Ills.
Spurned on by Victory Over Butler, Whiteside's Men Will Fight. ; With a taste of victory over Butler, Earlham' will meet Franklin Tuesday evening at the Coliseum, determined to put a crimp in the Baptists' ambition to make it two games straight. Earlham wag defeated by Franklin two weeks ago at Franklin, and Coach Whiteside is confident that his men will be able to get revenge. The victory last week, after a season
of defeats, put the Quakers on edge. Logan will be in the game Tuesday, and also in the game with State Normal Friday night at the Coliseum, but this will end his playing this season. Grades received last semester prevent his participation in I. C. A. L. athletics after this week.

F. G. Pickell, Secretary of Alumni Body, Expresses No Fear of Merger. Indiana university alumni are not alarmed by the legislative attempt to merge Indiana university with Purdue at Lafayette and take it away from Bloomlngton. A solution of the reasons for bringing such a bill into the legislature is offered by F. G. Pickell, secretary of the Richmond association of Indiana alumni.. "I believe this is done to scare the
Bloomlngton officials Into getting a better water supply and making other improvements the university has ask

tne alumni association bare spoken of it but they are not alarmed. I do not believed this movement Is of sufficient strength to call for an organization against it"
BUYS NEW MACHINE.
