LONDON. March 2. The time is

i long since past when any fresh ( . . ...

orientation of the German policy is calculated to astonish the IJritifch public, hut the revelation of the plot to induce Mexico and Japan to attack the Cnited States provide.! this country with a lirst-class sensation Thursday. Washington dispatches gave the

late afternoon papers the lirst news

which was displayed under startling headlines, such as "Great Hun Plot Unmasked," "Most Sensational Plot of the War," "Amazing Revelations of Germai Duplicity." The edition of the papers was early exhausted. The Immediate idea of the man on the street was that here at last was an undoubted casus belli for the United States, the only matter for curiosity appearing to be how soon an actual declaration of war might be expected. The news wa.s too late for editorial comment in the afternoon papers, and the government officials approached, declined at the present juncture to make any statement for publication. Perhaps next to the effect to the news in America, the attitude of Japan excited the public mfnd most. Nowhere, however, did the idea prevail for a moment that Japan could be detached from the entente alliance. Altogether, while the greatest confidence is felt that such an intrigue could only recoil on its authors, the British public is watching with greatest interest further details and developments. The Daily Xews, in an editorial, says: "The German proposals were doubtlessly marked by a certain superficial astuteness, but only Germany could beliee that solicitation by such a state as Mexico would suffice to detach Japan from the entente. Credulity which could contemplate such an intrigue springs from mental infirmity." The Xews assumes that the present moment was chosen to divulge the plot in order to clear the president's path in congress, and it considers that even the pro-Germans will he swung into line with the majority of Americans for, it adds, "they would be as reluctant as Iloosevelt himself to find themselves the subjects of Japan or Mexico."

JOHN ELMER HANE

POTT8TOWN, PENNA.

Mr. Joseph Ilane, 350 Aople St.. is the father of this handsome youngster. Last winter. whn the Southern remedy. Vick's VapoRub Salve, was being introduced ip Pottstown. Druggist Chas. S. Bentz presented Mr. Hane with a jar, and asked that he give it a thorough trial and report the results. Mr. Hane writes "My little boy took sick one night very suddenly with a heavy cold, so we applied your salve on his chest and saved ourselves going for the doctor The next day w could scarcely tell he had a cold." It is a fact that most colds ar relieved in one night, and croup usually in fifteen minutes just by applying VapoRub over throat and chest and covering with a warm flannel cloth. This preparation works In two, ways first it is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, taking out the ti-htness and soreness, and then the heat of the body liberates the ingredients which ire inhaled in the form of vapors. These vapors open the air passages and loosen the phlezm.
