U. S. STANDS FIRM
IN NOTE TO GERMANY
New Note Gives Germany Benefit OF
Doubt in Dispute, but Asks for
Direct Reply TO Questions at Issue

Washington, June l2-President
Wilson has again called upon Ger
man to respect the principle that the
lives Of nonoombatants cannot law
fully or ughliully be placed IN
jeopardy By German submarines
seeking to destroy the enemy CON.
merce.
His note to Germany, dispatched
from Washington yesterday aud
given to the press here tonight, re-
veals the president standing with
unyie)diug frmness on the same
ground that be has held since the
submarine issue arose.
There Is not the slightest oonces-
sion to Germany on the principles
Of law, humanity and justice which
this government has invoked in all
lis utterances on this subject.
No communication could be more
friendly in tone than this note to
Germany, yet it is tonight regarded
here as by far the strongest, the
most impressive Of all the papers
which have come from Mr.. Wilson's
hand during the war.
Gives Benefit OF Doubt
The president goes far in bis
note IN giving Germany the benefit
Of every doubt, in refusing to take
the acts Of German naval command
ers to signify the attitude of the
German Government and people
and in assuming that the German
Government is still true to the stan.
dards which il has always shared
with the leading civilized nations.
The note does not contain so
much colorful language as did the
note Of May Is, vet it is, all the
more forceful and solemn an ar.
raignment of Germany's submarine
program. The whole story of the
attitude Of the president and that
Of every present member of his cab.
met Is told In these two brief sen.
tences:
The Government Of the United
States Is coutendlng for something
much greater than mere rights Of
property or privileges of commerce.
1t is contending for nothing less
high and sacred than the rights of
humanity, which every government
honors itself IN respecting, and
which no government is justified in
resigning on behalf of those under
its care and authority.
Therefore the president for the
second time calls upon the German
Government to "adopt the measures
which will put these principles into
practice IN respect OF the safeguard
ing of American lives and American
ships, and asks for assurances that
this will be DONE"
This IS all that the United States
has demanded IN principle OF Ger
many since her first announcement
OF her submarine program.

BAR MEETING
HERE JUNE 30

Pooahontas will be hoaored with
the annual meeting of the bar as
soclation for the sth ChancerY DIS
trIct this year. The date set for
the meeting by the proper authori.
ties have designated June 3Oth and
July lst as the time for this meet
ing.
Tue members Of the bar of this
place met az the court house this
morning, preliminary to perfecting
arrangements for the entertained
Of the visiting brothers Of the bar
and their families who may attend.
J. w. Meeks was elected chairman
OF the meeting with the Hon. J. j.
Lewis as secretary. A committee
on entertainment, invitations and
programme and finance committee
also was selected all of whom have
entered into the work with en-
thusiasm. At the annual sessions
at Mammoth Spring, Walnut Ridge,
Heber Springs, Newport and other
places IN the past, elaborate and
expensive banquets have been seryed
by the bar and citizens of the town
where the ASSOCIATION met. At the
meeting Of the bar today it was de-
oided that this phase of entertain
meut be substituted by boat ex-
cursion up the river, free to the Wis.
itors ou the eve of the last day Of
the meeting, including free lunch
on the boat. 1t is quite a compli-
ment to have this bar association
meet at Pooahontas and the gather
ing will necessarily entail consider
able expense to entertain and treat
the visitors in a manner akin to that
of the other places where they have
met before. 1t is to be hoped that
the business men of the town will
join hand in hand and lend every
assistance to the finance committee
IN their efforts to raise sufficient
funds to meet the necessary expense.
Pocahontas is a live town and has
an enterprislng citizenship aud now
is the time to demonstrate to the
public that she never does anything
by halves.

SHIRT IRONERS STRIKE AT THE
KINGLY SHIRT co


The wave of labor unrest has
slapped against the Kingly Shirt Co.,
at Franklin and Van Buren, SITS.
Eleven men and two women, shirt
rOners, went on strike yesterday.
Today six policemen are patroling
the street before the King1y building
to prevent the ferocioUs eleven from
picketing. And the shirt irOners are
busy organizing and notifying their
comrade workers that there is a
strike on at Kingly's.
The noners get Z cents for ironing
an ordinary shirt and cents for a
plated one. Several days ago they
asked for a twO-cent raise per shirt,
complaining that they could not live
on the 7-cent rate.
The superintendent coaxed, cajoled
and finally threatened to whip the
spokesman of the iTOneTs and they
walked out. They will be blacklisted
by the laundry men, is the claim Of
the roners, if they do not win their
strike.
