Friday last. He was working at a feed

right has for years been stiff and prac
tically helpless. 1t is sad accident
for the old man.

The teachers meeting at Reedsville
was not as we'll attended last Saturday
as usual. A number Of teachers alb
sented themselves without excuse.
The weather was ideal and surely
school boards have right TO expect
their teachers to attend the few Satur-
day meetings scheduled. The teachers
that think they do not need to attend
or don't attend because OF some poor
excuse are usually the ones that need
1t most.
The meeting was about as spirited n
one rs We have had. The new things
required to be taught by law, rs acci-
dent prevention, moral and humane
treatment and rural economics brought
out good discussions. The papers read
by the teachers on the program were
good, both bringing out the main
features Of their topic. The music
furnished by the intermediate grade
teachers OF Reedsyille was we'll render
ed. The pupils were we'll drilled.
The class exercise in Agriculture was
a good type Of practical work. The
pupils, however, coming mostly from
the village were not rs we'll up on the
subject OF the Babcock Test as some OF

FINANCIAL SKY CLEARING.
New York Bond Dealers to Resume
Operations.

New York. Sept ll.-Further evidence
of a clearing of the financial situation
was offered yesterday when the commit
tee of bankers and bond dealers appoint
ed to regulate the purchase and sale OF
bonds announced that in its Judgment
the time had come to resume operations
The committee based its conclusions
largely on the fact that New York City
financial needs have been taken care of
satisfactorily, thereby clearing the for
eign exchange situation. The commit
tee also is of the opinion that the plac-
ing Of securities by dealers with private
customers should be approved where the
securities can be sold without disturb
ance to the collateral loan situation.
The committee depreciates anything
tending toward public quotations. The
committee also discourages transactions
with so-oalled bargain hunters and APP
proves the closing out of the bills pend
ing under that head. II has considered
the question of maturing allegations OF
cities and corporations and believes that
the present situation does not warrant
any attempt to issue time bonds but
that all refundings should be accom-
plished through short time financing

Kaiser Told President in a
Statement Complaining
About Allies
A DENIAL
FROM FRANCE
That Dumdum Bullets We're
Found on Her
Soldiers

London, Sept. 1.-THE Daily Mali
publishes the text of the Kaisers tele-
gram to President Wilson as received
from its Rotterdam correspondent. 1t is
as follows:
Il consider it my duty, sir, to inform
YOU, as the most notable representative
of the principles Of humanity, that after
the capture of the French fort at
Longwy my troops found in that place
thousands of dum-dum bullets which
had been manufactured in special
works by the French government,
"Such bullets were found not only on
French killed and wounded soldiers ana
on French prisoners but also on English
troops. You know what terrible wounds
and awful suffering are caused by these
bullets and that their use is strictly for
hidden by the generally recognized rules
of international warfare.
Il solemnly protest to you against
the way in which this war is beng
waged BY our opponents whose methods
are making it one of the most barbarous
in history. Besides the use OF these
awful weapons the Belgian government
has openly melted the civil population
TO participate in the fighting and has for
a long time carefully organized their re-
sistance. The crueties practlsed in this
guerilla warfare, even by women and
priests, toward wounded soldiers and
doctors and hospital nurses were such
that eventually my generals were com
PEELED TO adopt the strongest measures
to punish the guilty and brighten the
bloodthirsty population from continuing
their shameful deeds. Some villages,
and even the old town of Louvain, with
the exception OF its beautiful town hall
had to be destroyed for the protection OF
my troops.
"My heart bleeds when ! see such
measures inevitable and when | think OF
the many innocent people who have lost
their houses and property as result Of
the misdeeds of the guilty.
william l. R."
France Gives Kaiser the Lie.
Bordeaux. Sept. little French for
eign office yesterday issued an emphatic
denial that French troops have used
dun dunn bullets or that any have been
found on French soldiers or in the cap
tured fortress of Longwy. In discus
sing the charges made by the emperor
OF Germany in his telegram to President
Wilson Foreign Minister Theophle Del
cssse said;
THE French government will formal
" protest the German allegation that
the allies are using dum-dum bullets.
The story is absolutely without founda-
ton. There is not the slightest doubt
here that this entire charge is we'll
planned manoeuvre cleverly designed to
turn public Indignation in neutral coun-
tries, especially the United States, from
the German atrocies in Belgium and

TURKEY ENDEAVORS
TO KEEP OUT0F WAR
GRAND vlZlER SAID TO HAVE EX-
TENDED APOLOGY OF HIS
GOVERNMENT TO POWERS.
Turkey Also Agrees to Recall Fleet
From the Black Sea, Eut Refuses
to Dismiss German Officers
From Her Warshps.

London.-The grand vi2ier OF Tur-
key has apologized on behalf of his
government for the warlike operations
of the Turkish fleet under German
commanders in the Black sea, but II
was stated authoritatively Monday
that the porte will have to go very
much farther than this be4ore the
powers of the triple entente will
agree to resume friendly relations
with the Ottoman government.
1t was disclosed in statement is
sued by the French government Mon;
day evening that Turkey, in reply to
note presented by Russia, France
and England on Friday last. agreed to
recall her fleet from the Black sea-
but refused TO dismiss German Off.
GERS from her shirs and that as it was
believed she could not maintain a pas
sive attitude without doing this the
ambassadors of the entente powers
demanded their passports and left
Turkey.
The Turkish ambassador to Great
Britain, Tewfik Pasha, was handed his
passports Monday
There is every reason to believe
that despite the apology of the grand
vizier, which, it is understood, comes
from the peace party In the Turkish
cabinet and may not be adhered to by
Enyer Pasha the minister of war, and
his Young Turk followers, France
Russia and Great Britain not only will
! demand reparation for the warlike op-
| erations of the Turkish fleet in the
| Black sea but will insist that Turkey s
entire fleet, or at any rate the cruisers
| Goeben, Breslau and Hamidieh, be pu
out OF commission until after ihe war
Turkey 8 security being guaranteed
! in the meantime.
This would give Russia such slpe
rioTity in the Black sea that there
would be no danger OF Turkish raids
1t is suggested also that demobiliza
tion of the Turkish army would be de
nlanded, which would mean that those
troors which have crossed the Egyp
tian frontier must be Withdrawn.

in the history of the state, but latest
returns indicate that Senator Smoot
has been reelected. His lead is est.
mated at from 500 to 5000.

ballots in Salt Lake county instead
of the voting machines the counting
was very slow and many of the
Judges We're still counting votes al
daybreak Wednesday morning. The
returns We're also slow in coming
from other parts OF the state.
Smoot carried Weber county by
about 1920. Moyle retaliated by car
rying Salt Lake county by plurality
of from 1900 to 1900
Weber county went solidly Repub-
lican. while in Salt Lake county the

slow, it has not yet been determined
who are the victors.
