disposed of, the plant modernized and it's ia
clities greatly increased at an enormous eX-
pense, practically doubling the original in
vestment of two years ago. This edition is
entirely the product of the office, and were it
not for the splendid equipment, paper of
the magnitude and character of the Greater
Minnesota Edition would not be possible.
The first long step toward undermining
the plant was the installation of an Inter-
type typesetting machine, with capacity for
doing the work of four or five expert COM
positors, and in much better shape. The
Herald Intertype was the second one COM
ing into Minnesota, and with a little inteli
gence on the part of the imam behind it
never fails to give splendid service.
In June, 1914, the old drum Whitlock was
replaced by a splendid Johnsonized 7-column
quarto front delivery two-revolution Cottrell
press. This excellent press accounts for the
beautiful appearance of the Herald each
week.
Shortly after the press came an attached
Omaha folder. This folder by the way was
the first folder put on the market by the
Omaha concern for front delivery presses. 1t
was only few years ago that printing press
experts insisted that folder that would
successfully take printed sheet directly
from front delivery press was an impossi-
bility The Omaha was installed on the guar
antee of C. l. Johnson through whom it was
purchased. Many other publishers watched
the Herald experiment closely and as soon
as the the practicability of the front delivery
Omaha had been demonstrated in this office
they were not slow in undermining their
plants. <
In January of this year a new 32-inch
Diamond paper cutter was also purchased
through the Johnson company. With this
new machine any sheet with which the
larger print shops have to deal can be sue
cessfully handled.
Besides the machinery mentioned above
many modern type faces bought in series and
large quantities have placed the Herald plant
of today at the front of the successful coun-
try weeklies of the state.
Asa M. Wallace, the present publisher, was
born in Iowa in 1868 and started in the news
paper game in 1881. He worked on the Min
neapolis Tribune and Journal for number
of years, and embarked in business in the

1t is little singular that all the men who

If it is true that "the good die young" then
it is sure that those who were responsible for
the existence of the Herald have no monop

Newport News, Va, April 5.-When

Several conferences were held, after
which the order prohibiting the de-

away or intern. The command issued
on Saturday forbade any vessel hostile
to Germany to leave port between noon

laden with horses, left port, apparently
in violation of the orde-. but the ex-

Geona, April 5.-News was received
here to-day that a German submarine
had sunk the Italian steamer Luigi
Parodi. which left Baltimore on jan

The report has caused a profound

expressions of resentment. Great eX-

Washington, April 5.-The British
blockade Order in Council constitutes
distinct invasion of the sovereign
rights of the nation whose ships, trade
or commerce are interfered with ac-
cording TO the note of the United
States to Great Britain expressing the
position of this government with re-
gard to the order, which was made pub
lie tonight.
It's terms are friendly, although firm,
and the principal impression conveyed
was that the United States would look
to Great Britain to compensate Amcri-
can shippers and ship owners for such
loss or damage as may come to them
through its operation.
In the stricter inter pretation of the
word the note is not protest
Throughout it indicates that there is
TO anticipation of serious discord. At
the same time the note is specific in
its declaration that Great Britain
must not assume that she has a right
to interfere with the free shipment of
goods to and from the United States
through neutral territory, or to sub
ject them to the penalties Of contra
band or breach of blockade.
Text Of The Note.

Grafton 10 the subjects treated IN

These communications contain
matters OF grave importance to
reutral nations. They appear to
menace their rights of trade and

ereuts. but also with one another.
der that misunderstanding may
be avoided. The government OF the
United States deems 1t its duty,
therefore, speaking in the SINGER

own view and position with regard
TO them Enthusiastically clear
The Order in Council of the 10Th

provisions TO be actually carried

teal assertion of unlimited belllg-

within the whole European area,
and an almost unqualified denial OF
the sovereign rights of the nations

Neutral Rights Defined.
This government takes it for
granted that there can be no ques-
zion what those rights are. A ma
tion's sovereignty over its own
ships and citizens under its own
