was that the Woodmen lodge agreed tt
retain the old rate. Otherwise the as.

would have almost doubled. The threat
of Minnesota members to drop out Ut
the lodge is what kept the old rate IL

AS to the $4,000 which was raised by
the local people for securing the Plains.
men headquarters here, Mr.. Winthrop
said that this money, although it did
not bring the headquarters here nor
bring about the organization Of the
proposed lodge, it did help to keep the
head officers of the M. w. A. from rails.
ing their rates, and thereby saving the
local members great deal of money.
He added that an attempt will be made
to refund at least part Of that money
to the subscribers.

the German reply to the second
American note regarding the Lusi-
tania The communication was hand
ed 10 Ambassador Gerard last night
and the work of preparing IL for
transmission TO Washington begun
this forenoon. The note is lengthy
and because of the fact that IL must
be translated into English and coded
with the greatest care, the time of its
receipt in full at Washington cannot
he accurately forecasted. IL Is not ex-
pected here until Sunday, at least
IL was just a month today. IL was
pointed out, since the last American
message was dispatched to Berlin. In
asmuch as il was believed the Ger
man message would raise new points,
which must be gone into fully. the
prediction was made that an equal
length of time would elapse before
rejoinder can be sent from Wash
ington.
With such other exchanges as they
looked for officials declared It more
likely that no settlement would be
reached before late in the fall. and
there we're some suggestions that per-
