Mr.. WILSON is WARNED
TO HALT HIS LAB0RS
Complete Rest is Doctors Decree for
the President-ToiIs on Two
Great Problems.

Cornish, N. H., June 28.-Under or
ders from his ply to take com
plete rest President Wilson settled
down at the summer White House on
Friday for brief vacation to prepare
himself for the arduous work he is ex-
pecting within the next few months in
handling European and Mexican prob
lens.
The president brought few official
documents. Officials at the White
House in Washington had orders to
forward him only the most pressing
business, but he plans to give much
thought, in the seclusion of the Cornish
hills, to the next step in the Next
can policy, to the submarine issues
with Germany and to the discussion
with Great Britain over interference
with commerce between the United
States and neutral nations of Europe.
Secretary Lansing will do most of
the actual work on the note to Great
Britain now being prepared, but the
president has already gone over with
him the broad questions of policy in
volved, and will see the note before it
is officially forwarded to London. He
read with deep interest during the day
unofficial forecasts from Berlin that
there was a possibility of Germany's
submarine warfare being modified, but
refused to comment

HOW RACERS FINISHED

Speedway Park, Chicago, June %
Dario Resta, Italian motor racer, is
the speed king of the world. He drove
an automobile for 500 miles at a pace
faster than it was ever driven before
He shattered world records, won
prizes aggregating $4,000, fought his
way to supremacy over twenty rivals,
and crossed the tape an easy winner
of Chicago's first auto derby, which
was held on Saturday.
The performance opened the fastest,
safest automobile race track in the
world-the Chicago speedway.
In his Peugeot French racing car,
Resta travelled the 500 miles in five
hours, seven minutes and twenty-sev-
en- seconds. His average rate of speed
throughout the race was 97.6 miles an
hour.
Once in a hair-raising squirt that
spread the silence of fear over $4,000
spectators, he circled the two-mile
course at a speed of LOT miles an
hour.
Every one of the ten winning cars
that followed Resta to the finish line
made better time than the worlds rec
ord established at the Indianapolis
speedway on Memorial day by Ralph
De Palma

COULDN'T SPEND HER MONEY
American Girl In Paris Was Entirely
Willing, But the Government
Interfered.

The girl who was born under the
star of extravaganza, whatever that
is, was praised for her unnatural econ
omy
Just think" her people said, 'of
having all that money over there in
Paris, and not spending it."
Don't blame me-" the girl protested
with unblushing candor. ut was not
my fault. l wanted to spend it, but
could not; couldn't get at it, In
spite of myself, I was forced into the
paths of economy by the French gov
eminent.
At the beginning of the war I
solved all the business problems by
making my trunk my banker. What
money l had was drawn out of the
bank and deposited in my trunk That
seemed pretty safe place. so most of
my money was left there when went
to London on a visit.
L had made my home in Paris
with an old school friend While I
was in London her husband died.
When / came back it was as much
as | could do to get into the house
The government had been in and had
clapped red seals, fastened to the ends
of piece of tape, across everything
about the place.
MY own trunk had not escaped.
Right across the lock was a band of
tape with these seals of Liberty.
Equality, Fraternity above and be-
low. They did not represent much
liberty for me; they came nearer to
representing captivity, for had run up
debts, and the only money l had to
pay them with was in that trunk
Then came such bargain sale.
1t consisted of lace and feathers and
jewelry that had belonged to a very
fine lady and were going dirt cheap.
They were sold at private sale and I
was offered first pick of anything I
wanted
For three months, while all the ter
rifying entanglements of French law
were being unraveled, my money was
imprisoned. When my friends affairs
were finally settled and the seals re-
moved, the bargains I coveted had
been sold elsewhere, so I had saved
my money"

TREATY VIOLATED.
TENOR OF u. s. NOTE
Demands That Berlin Pay for
Loss of Frye.
NOT A PRIZE COURT CASE
American Government Insists That
Real Question is Amount of Repara-
tion-Wants Case Taken From
the Tribunal.

Washington, June 30.-In a note to
Germany made public on Monday by
the state department in the case of the
William P. Frye, the American vessel
destroyed by the Prince Eitel Fried
rich this government maintains that
Germany has violated a treaty obliga-
ton by destroying the vessel and de-
mands payment from Germany.
The following direct statement of
the attitude of the United States is
made by Secretary of State Lansing,
who signed the note:
The real question between the two
governments is what reparation must
be made for a breach of treaty obli-
cations and that is not question
the prize court"
Secretary of State Lansing points
out to Germany that she previously
admitted under the treaties of 1893
and 1929 her responsibility for the
sinking of the Frye. He tells Ger
many that she now justifies the sink
ing under those two treaties and that
because the treaties do not provide
a way for paying indemnities the Ger
man foreign Office has decided that
the case must be referred to a prize
court
In reply to these two positions of
the German foreign Office Lansing as
serts that the treaties do not justify
the sinking of the Frye and denies
that the German prize court has any
Jurisdiction over the question of the
amount of indemnity to be paid by the
imperial German government on &C
count of the admitted liabilities for
the destruction of an American vessel
on the high seas.
The state department declares that
it will not be bound by any decision
of the German prize court and reit-
crates that this "is matter for ad-
justment by direct diplomatic discus
sion between the two governments.
Officials who have read the note say
that it is the strongest document that
has yet been sent across the water
in the assertion of the rights of Amer
lean commerce.
are direct They deny poiRt blank
the validity of the new contentious
of the German foreign offices and put
the question on the high plane of
violation or nonviolation of a solemn
treaty between the two governments.
Some officials think that Germany
will now gracefully surrender to the
American argument, return the case
into the diplomatic channels and
pay up.
Dispatches to the state depart
ment from Ambassador Gerard ind1-
cate that good feeling is prevailing in
Germany as to the character of the
reply which should be made to the
United States on Americas last note
on the submarine warfare question.
It is expected that Germany will agree
with the United States on its under
standing of the broad principles OF hui
mainly which should govern even re-
taliatory warfare, but that she Will
insist on quid pro quo from the
English government to be obtained by
this government.

such as one sees in school copybook.
With an apology he tore the covering

and grow as set and hard as marble.
Samson's eyes were dwelling with
only partial comprehension on the
script. This IL what he read:

forgetting things near by. His eyes
blazed and his fingers twitched.
Hell, mol" he exclaimed. 1.-THE
