Government.
SHIPPING TROUBLE CHRONIC
Any Formal Note to Eng
land Might Be Miscon-

Washington, May %. President
Wilson told callers he did not know
the cause for the delay of the German
reply to the American note on the
Lusitania, but he presumed that the
German government was for the NOM
ent absorbed in new circumstances
arising out of Italy's entrance into the
war. .a
While Ambassador Gerard had sen.
no official news bearing on what the
German reply may be and no direct
intimations have been received con-
cerning it's contents, the American
government is really uniformed. The
German embassy here, however has
made suggestions to the German for
eign Office for reply, and in German
quarters it is said the note will be OF
a character to satisfy. American pub
lie opinion.
While declining to throw any light
on the shipping situation as between
the United States and England, Presi-
dent Wilson referred to it as chronic
case. 1t is learned that he believes
any formal note at this time to Eng
land might be construed as weak
ening of the American governments
position in its delicate relations witr
Germany, but as soon as the German
reply is received some action is ex-

the chairman, whose public opinion
would be the greatest factor in i'm

THE will and conscience of young

in Colorado than any other force thar

said King.
You think that the will and con.

Associated Press Letters
From the War Zone
correspondence of The Associated Press>

Freiburg, Baden, May Few towns
or cities in Germany have changed as
materially and noticeably on account
of the war as Freiburg. one time Mecca
of American tourists bent on visiting
the beautiful Black forest.
From quiet, peaceful little city,
we'll equipped with schools, It has be-
come city of hospitals to which
scores of the wounded are brought
daily from the west front, especially
from near Alsace The Red Cross nag
floats over scores of buildings Chat
once were educational institutions,
theatres and amusement resorts.
Children now go to the famous Uni
versity of F'reiburg for their lessons,
because their own school buildings now
are used to house the wounded German
and French soldiers. Fully a dozen
school buildings have bcen requisi-
toned for hospital work, all Of Thorn
being administered by the German Red
Cross in contradistinCtion to the reg
ular hospitals of the city. In addition,
every available amusement hall and
theatre is serving the same purpose.
In the auditorium, the gallery and even
on the stage Of the famous old Fest
halle" soldiers now lie, or convalescing
stroll in the adjoining garden that for
merly was filled, nightly at least, with
devotees of Bacchus.
The Red Cross workers in Freiburg
are proud, and justly; of what they
have accomplished. for the present
quarters for wounded soldiers were set
up and ready four days after the war
began, before mobilization even was
complete.
The Turkish Italian war, ono Red
Cross natron explained. taught the
German Red Cross that it must be
ready for emergencies Consequently
there was on hand vast number of
gray painted iron beds, bed linen,
blankets, stretchers. and supplies Of all
kinds
When the war started everyone in
Freiburg turned to and helped. The
scholars in the high schools in ono day
succeeded in getting their bcnches and
seats out CT the way and In storage.
In another twenty four hours they had
cleaned the old buildings from cellar
to garret and on the third day mad
carried in the hospital apparatus. 1t
needed only one additional day to put
everything in order and stand by for
the first consignment OF wounded.
For nine months the fighting has
never been very remote from Freiburg,
and it has consequently been con-
stant hospital center. Street cars run

ONE OF
LESSONS
OF War
This Is Opinion of Paul M.
Warburg of Federal
Reserve Board.
UNWISE TO DEPEND ON ONE
Before War, England Was
Worlds Banker and Tt
Was a Mistake.

Washington, May 25.--The need of a
greater reliance on their own re-
sources is one lesson which the Eu-
ropean war has brought home to- the
nations not involved, in the opinion OF
Paul M. Warburg, member of the
Federal Reserve Board who spoke at
the PAN American financial conference.
Warburg pointed out that when the
war began, England, then acting as
banker for the world, felt forced to ask
for some of the vast sums due her,
and that this request was reflected in
various degrees in the countries that
were in her debt. He spoke OF the
acute situation which resulted in the
United States and elsewhere on this
hemisphere.
Warburg said in part: "The lesson
which all American nations will have
to learn from last years experience is
that it is unwise for the world to place
it's financial dependence upon any sin
gle nation and that those who can af-
ford to do so, as for instance the United
States, should from this time on adopt
a policy of greater reliance upon their
own resources.
Those countries which cannot rely
exclusively upon their own resources
should adopt policy of dividing their
risks of financial dependence as evenly
and as widely as they possibly can.
"There is no difference CT conserva-
tive opinion that the United States
does not aspire now to take the place
of Europe's leading financial powers.
Our own field of operations is still too
vast to enable us to- render 1T even
desirable for us to become the worlds
banker at this stage Of our Develop
lnents.
s,But the safety of all countries. and
we include England among the num-
ber, demands that if again the latter
should find herself forced to call upon
her debtors for instant payment, there
should be at least one country strong
and independent enough to shoulder a
substantial portion of the burden"

Tyrone Kelly, one Of the best known
newspaper men of the east and mid
die west, has become prosperity week
booster. He is hard at work on the
plans of the Society for Electrical
Development to make the week OF
| Nov. 29 to Dec. remembered in the
history of the country. He succeed
ed as publicity manager in the east
for the Panana=Pacific International
exposition in making that undertaking
pretty well known.
The Society for Electrical Develop
ment is incorporated under the dir
ection Of James w. Wakeman, one
of Americas foremost electrical men.
The vast electrical industries Of the
nation support the society. The
week of Nov 29-Dec. 4, will close a
national trade movement probably
without parallel in Americas busi-
ness history. Mr.. Kelly will handle
one of the branches of the national
campaign. .--.----------..
Very much of the knowledge that
eastern people have gained in the last
year of the west and its possibilities
is due to the progressive publicity
method. adopted more than a year
ago by Mr.. Kelly. While his appeal
has been largely directed to women
and children, the exposition's publici-
ty7 chief centered his readers on the
lessons of the west they first abb
sorbed from their school books. He
created in their minds the incentive to
go west, where the opportunity Is
present. Under the writer's name of
Gilbert X. Harrison, the stories of the
west and what California and the
Pacific coast and the exnostion offaY.
to the traveller in education and
scenery, have been widely read in
newspapers and magazine pages Of
the country. ..-,.s ..
Mr.. Kelly was star reporter on
the N. Y. Evening World and de-
veloped in Park Row offices along
with Irwin S.. Cobb, Barton w.
Ctrrie. Martin Green, Raymond G..
Carroll and other newspapermen, con-
spicuous in various fields of newspaper
and magazine work.

LIGNITE COAL
RATE CASES

Bismarck, N. D., May 25.-The lig-
mite coal rate case before the railroad
commission promises to be quite in
teresting before the matter is settled.
Some of the railway companies now
claim the commission is without au
thority to suspend proposed rate, a
contention in which the commission
does not coincide and which will be
combatted strongly, it is understood.
AS the matter now stands, the railways
will probably file the necessary pa
pers in court which they contend will
automatically restore the coal rates
in force before the maximum rate law
was passed, but to further clear the
atmosphere the roads will very likely
file tariffs covering this old rate, and
these tariffs the commission proposes
to suspend pending q hearing. This
right to suspend is challenged by the
roads, but the commission seems very
sure Of it's position and will, maintain
it vigorously and considerable inn
portance Ia attached to the matter.
In case another appeal is taken to
the courts tie coal miners, shippers
and consumers will probably profit as
the fighting will be done while the
rates are at the present status, while,
If the contention of the railways is
maintained and they are able to put
the old rates into effect, they will be
getting the higher rate during the
time the counting is being done, at
least this is the way many yonver-
SAINT with the situation view things.
The railroad commissioners feel
that the legislature intended to foaler
and encourage the Ignite coal indus
try by prescribing maximum rate,
and while the board has no desire to
make rate non- compensatory or un-
fair to the roads, it realizes the inn
portance of the development of the
coal mining industry and will leave
no stone unturned to carry out the
intention of the legislature and what
1t believes to be the popular senti-
ment. The hearing in this case will
be held in this city about the middle
of June and will probably be one of
the most important issues yet before
the commission.

official reports of great battle, cvca

of A big batch CT wounded soldiers,

The chemical laboratories in the high

which are invaluable, and most of them

The ordinary recitation rooms are

the installation of bath rooms.

Paris, May 2.-The Kommandantur.
Belgian war comedy drama based on the
German occupation of Brussels, after
a successful debut in London, made a
doubtful success in Paris and has now
been condemned to an early withdraw
al by the prefect of police. 1t is the
appearance Of German uniforms on the
stage that constitutes the principal
French objection to the piece. The
critics find another in the attempt to
mix comedy and drama. A revival CT
the piece is promised after the war.
La Prfere dan 10 Mutt, by Monsieur
Noziere, is another war drama In
which espionage is the basis of the
plot and which, like the Kommandan-
tur, ends in violent and tragic justice
to the enemies of Belgium and France.

CHAPTER LII.
Bv Land and Sea.

In tho confusion which followed the
retreat of the Grahoffen troops upon
their own capital, Roleau found him
self swept away from the officer who
first had taken him in charge.
Roleau, not unused to scenes OF VIC
lence, had himself well in hand, and
now studied his situation calmly, find
ing it somewhat to.his own advantage.
He say that he now had better oppor-
tunity for escape than at any time
before.
Resolved at last, he slipped away be-
yond his guards, and made OF through
the city, not to the westward toward
the plain which lay between the two
cities, but to the east where lay the
water front of Grahoffen.
The desert which lay between these
two little kingdoms ran far to the
southwark in a barren peninsula, on
either side of which swept the blue
sea. Each kingdom, therefore, might
be said TO have q seaport as good as
the other. although that OF Gretzhof-
fen lay closer to the Mediterranean
proper. Nevertheless. the Grahoffen
harbor was an ample one, and here
all the tiny navy of the little kingdom
lay-beyond the aviation grounds
where the scanty corps Of that serv-
ice sometimes held their maneuvers.
As may be seen. each OF these little
