G GERM ANY PREPARING
Am ERiCAN NOTE.

BERLIN, May 23.-In the note
that the German government is pre-
pairing in response to the protest
of the United States concerning the
loss of American property and life
in the blockade of British shipping.
it is understood that no mention is
to be made concerning the sinking
of the British steamship Lusitania,
which took down with her ia Amer
leans. The note will probably be
sent to America Tuesday.
1t is denied that Germany really
wants to arbitrate concerning the
manner in which neutral nations
are being treated in the commercial
blockade established about the Brit
ish Isles. However, it is evident
that Germany is anxious to com
promise and will offer concessions
to the United States.
From what can be learned here, it
is believed that Germany will deny
that one of her submarines sunk

Strike Sure To
Last All Summer

CHICAGO, May 23.-All but seven
of the 10000 striking carpenters of
this city have refused to sign the
compromise wage scale submitted
to them after conference Of their
committee with committee Of con-
tractors, and as consequence the
strike is on again full blast The
strikers are very orderly, however,
there being no sign of violence, ex-
cepting an occasional shout of
"scab" at one Of the members Of
the committee.
The seven men who agreed to
sign the compromise were all men,
bers of the strikers committee who
met with the contractors. When
their spokesman read the articles
Of agreement at a mass meeting here
last night. he was greeted with
Kisses and cat calls, most of the
striking carpenters believing that
the members of their committee had
been bought off by the contractors.
AS result Of the strike, prac-
tically all building work in this city
is at a standstill. Several other
trades unions are also striking in
sympathy with the striking carpen-
terS.
Another effort to arbitrate the
grievances of the strikers is to be
made in the near future. In the
event of it's failure, the strike will
last all summer, as it is understood
that the contractors have agreed to
cease all attempts at work rather
than submit to the demands of the
strikers.

What may prove to be an i'm
portant victory for the Germans
is the reported breaking through
the British lines in the La Bas-
see district, in france, which
may leave the way open for an
attack on the channel ports of
France, the objective point Of
the German army. The report
today does not prove beyond a
doubt, however, that the Germans
will be enabled to march through
TO the English channel
Advices from London indicate
that Roumania will invade the
Pennsylvania district in Hungary,
provided Bulgaria will not inter
fere. Bulgaria, it is said, will
keep her hands off. Greece is
expected to aid the allies in
their attacks on the forts Of the
DardaneIIes.
British experts say that the
contest in Galicia is the most
important in the war. Neither
side is reported to have made
important gains there.

CHICAGO, May 23.-William Owen,
man who declares he Is wealthy
Idaho mining man and who has all

best of circumstances, appeared in
a local police court this morning and

thing in the way Of valuable clews
Mr. Owen states that he is on his

the grip containing the gems to his

not put it in the hotel safe box, as
he thought his treasure would be
safer if he treated it as though it
contained ordinary wearing apparel.

Charles KRISTEN, clerk in the
local land office, had narrow
escape from death by drowning
yesterday morning about IL
o'clock, when his horse threw
him into the river, while he was
trying to ride it across the

cold after his experience.
The horse in question is the

wasn't brave enough to want to
swim the cold waters of the
Chena river with man on his
back Therefore, when he got
far enough out in the water to
swim, he tossed his rider off,
and made for shore.

College President
Is Talking on War

KANSAS CITY, May 23-In an
address delivered in this city last
evening Arthur Twining Hadley,
president of Yale university. spoke
strongly on the unpreparedness Of
the United States as regards the
status OF the army and navy. He
criticised the government severely
for not keeping the army and navy
up to the standard OF those Of other
nations, stating that the time will
come. and that soon. when the ma
ton as a whole will see the folly
Of being unprepared.
The noted educator at no time
argued that the United States should
be at war with any nation. stating
only that America Is inviting war
by her unpreparedness. He illus
trated his point by pointing out the
fact that the United States army
and navy Is now a matter Of a bluff
and that our show of force is made
In spirit Of bravado.

REDDING. Calf, May 23-Four
terrific explosions from Mt. Lassen,
the volcano which forms an import
ant peak In the Sierra Nevada range
to the east Of this place, were fol
lowed yesterday by streams of lava
that inundated large area of coun-
try, and terrorized the people for
many miles around. The mountain
is still smoking this morning, but
the flow of lava has ceased for the
present.
Rescue parties in automobiles hur-
rled last night and yesterday from
this and other places to Hat valley,
lying at the base of Mt Lassen,
and have returned with loads of the
people fleeing from that locality AS
nearly as can be determined. all the
people Of that locality have escaped
injury from the lava. though much
OF the farming land has been ruined
and many animals have perished
The people brought in by the res
cue parties declare that they had
narrow escape from death, and as
soon as the first explosion occurred
they ran for safety. They were pick
ed up along the road leading out
Of the valley.
Smoke has been seen issuing from
the volcano at intervals since its
last activity, a few months ago,
when the whole state was aroused
by its periodic explosions. The peo-
pie living near the valley, while
they did not feel safe have been
watching and hoping that it would
cease smoking. Every time it indi-

they have been ready to hurry away.
The refugees from the vicinity of
the mountain will not attempt to
return to their homes until the
eruption is stopped. Some Of the
houses near the foot of the noun
tain are said to have been destroy
ed by the flow Of lava, while whole
fields of growing grain have been
covered with the hot mud and the
ashes that fell to depth OF several
inches.

REPORTED THAT CONGRESS WILL
MEET EARLY THIS YEAR. NOT
LATER THAN ABOUT OCTOBER
I, TO TAKE UP IMPORTANT
LEGISLATION.
PRESIDENT WILSON CAUTIOUS
LAWMAKERS SAY THAT REGU-
LAR SESSION WILL BE TOO
LATE FOR SOME OF THE WORK
OUTLINED; WAR DIFFICULTY
NOT EXPECTED.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May %
From what seems to be reliable
source it is reported today that an
extra session Of congress will be
called this summer or fall, not TO be
later than October l. President
Wilson has neither confirmed nor
denied the report, but one of his
most intimate friends announced
that he was not favorable to an
extra session, provided such thing
can be avoided.
At the time of the Lusitania dis
aster, some of the members Of con-
gress urged the calling of a special
session but President Wilson is
reported to have opposed it at that
time, for he feared that such
thing would arouse public apprehen-
sion throughout the country and
it might cause the people to look
upon the war situation as being
more serious than it really is.
The report made today about the
calling of an extra session is based
upon the desire of the leaders of
both houses of congress to get i'm
portant legislation started at an
early date They have pointed out
that if congress is not called to-
gether until its regular session in
December. nothing of importance
can be done until after the first Of
the year which is later than desired
1t is understood that President
Wilson is really not opposed to the
proposed extra session, but that he
does not went to excite the coun-
try in regard to the relation of the
United States to the war in Europe.
He is quoted as having said that
the neutrality Of the nation can best
be maintained when congress is not
in session. for resolutions and de
bates presented in congress only
add to the restlessness of the Amer
ic, II people.
The President has inferred that
he is not afraid that complications
will come between the United States
and Germany as a result of the note
sent to that country, protesting
against attacks on American ships.

ment have been quietly purchasing

Most of the horses bought here
were Of type weighing about 1900
pounds. However. some heavier

1t is believed that the lighter horses

GERMAN VICTORY
is REPORTED


PARIS, May 23.-German troops
vicinity of La Bas3ee, according to
an announcement made today by the
French war office. This is taken to
mean that unless stopped by other
allied troops, the Germans will be
enabled to march northward on Dun
kirk and Calais, two important sea-
ports of northern France.
According TO the statement given
out today, the Germans had been
concentrating a large force of their
troops behind their lines at La Bas-
see, and their attack on the British
lines there was as sudden as it was
fierce. 1t was impossible for the
British troops to withstand the ter
rifle onslaught, for which they were
only partially prepared, and before
they could receive reinforcements,
they were overcome.
A few months ago the Germans
made an attempt to break through
the lines of the allies at that place
but were repulsed, though they put
a very large force in the field there.
1t was their announced intention
at that time to cut the allied lines
at La Bassee, and then by marching
northward toward the important
channel ports of France, force the
allied troops in Belgium to retreat
into France or be cut off from their
supply base, and probably captured
later.
Today's reports show that the
Germans are massing a large force
at Aubers, and it is expected that
some new surprise will develop in a
few hours.

political gatherings and secret
love-making scenes, IL the claim
by Guglielmo Marconi, the invent
or Of the wireless telegraph,
made by him to press represen-
tatives just before he sailed for
Italy, proves correct.
1t is claimed by Mr.. Marconi
that he has just perfected an
apparatus which will enable a
person to look through a brick
wall. All the details OF this
wonderful invention are not made
public. but as his wireless in
vention proved all he claimed
for 1t. the scientific men Of this
city are inclined to believe that
the Italian inventor has solved a
new problem Of nature.
While Mr.. Marconi failed to
give the details OF his invention
it Is believed that 1t involves
some Of the same natural laws
as are included in his wireless
invention.
