Although Field Marshal Baron Con-

WILSON AND CABINET MEET
DECLINE TO ACCEPT BRITISH
COTTON PROPOSAL.
v. 8. Receives No Answer 20 Note
Regarding Embargo on Neutral
Commerce to Germany.

Washington, May 24.-President
Wilson and his cabinet have Just met
for the first time in ten days. In the
absence of any definite news from
Berlin. there was no discussion, 1t was
understood. of the probable contents
of the reply to the American note
which Germany Is preparing.
When the cabinet met there had
been published here a memorandum
given out in London by the British
foreign office saying the arrange
ments being made by Great Britain
with American cotton interests for
disposition of their cargo were under.
stood to be acceptable to the United
States.
Order Not Recognized.
Later Secretary Bryan gave out a
statement declaring that whatever
had beer done by representatives of
the state department to assist the cot
ton interests had been of an unoffi-
clal and informal character and was
not to "be construed as a recognition
of the order-in-council" issued by
Great Britain.
Later Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the
British ambassador, issued a state
ment, explaining that this was also
his understanding and suggesting that
there had been some mistake in tele-
graphic transmission or erroneous i'm

No Reply From Britain.
The United States has never receiv-
ed reply to its note of March 80 in
which the British order-in-council pro-
claiming an embargo on all neutral
commerce directly or indirectly with
Germany was declared to be a viola
ton of international law.
In review of the continued deten.
tions of American cargoes under the
order-in-council, note was prepared
a week before the Lusitania disaster
occurred, which was to be sent to the
allies as soon as further data on in
reference with American shipping
could be secured. In some official cir
cles there had been a disposition to
urge the dispatch of the note to Great
Britain at this time because of the
conviction it might convey to the Ger
man government of the purpose of the
United States to obtain an adherence
to international law on the part of
the allies.
Wait On German Reply.
There was but brief discussion of
the question among cabinet officials
as President Wilson had previously re-
solved that the situation with Ger
many ought not to be complicated
with any new correspondence with
Great Britain.
1t is practically certain that the
note to Great Britain, which has been
prepared some time, will not be sent
until after the German reply is re-
ceived.

die for war with Austria The
Rubicon has been crossed and the Ital-
ian ambassador at Vienna, the Duke of
Avarna, has been recalled.
The actual state of war now exists.
The formal declaration handed to
Baron Rajech, the Austro- Hungarian

leave Rome conformity with the Austro.
Hungarian ambassador, according to a
Berlin official dispatch.
Events EIeetrify italians.
Although drastic action has been
looked for momentarily, Italians of all
classes have been electrified by the
swiftly moving events. Great crowds
gathered around the Quirinal to await
the ministers who called on the king.
for the purpose of discussing the situa.
ton and signing DEGREES.
When Premier Salandra and signor
Sonnino, the foreign minister, left the
palace. the people cheered them enthu.
siastfcally. General Zeppeli, minister
OF war, and Vice Admiral Viale, min.
lister of marine, remained with the
king for considerable time after the
others left, and later they had a con-
ference with Lieutenant General Ca.

Phaon di Revel, chief of the naval
staff.
Strong Forces on Frontier.
When the first blow will be struck
cannot be foretold, but after many
months of preparation, the army and
the navy are ready. Exceedingly
strong forces are in position all along
the Austro-Italian frontier, on the Aus.
trian side of which feverish prepare.
tons have been going on the last few
days to make the Notifications "a
strong as possible and to clear the
way for effective artillery action.
The German and Austrian ambassa-
doris will be given safe conduct when
they do leave and so far as Germans
and Austrians resident in Italv ara
concerned, every effort has been made
to see them safely out Of the country.
On the other hand, most alarming
reports have been received from the
Italian border towns that Italian resi-.
dents on the Austrian Tyrol are ex.
periencing great difficulty in returning
to Italy and In many cases have been
placed under arrest.

Garrison told the pacifists gathered
here for the annual conference on in.

speech, carefully argued and bristling
with striking epigrams.
He declared the real problem of
American national defense is to get
the people to look the facts squarely
IN the face. Only a united nation can
accomplish anything in arming for the
conflict which is bound to come sooner
or later. We shall be desptsed among
the nations of the earth and our
righteousness will not save us from

virtues by conflict of one sort or an.

insure its own preservation by being
prepared in every proper way to de.

will also serve to make it's effects more

Taking Military Precautions.
!. "A great deal Of inattention and
considerable opposition is based upon
the statement and belief that If ma

makes military preparation it invites
what it seeks to prevent or repel.
This contention does not seem to have
any foundation in reason or in fact.
1t certainly is not so in any other like
situation, either in our spiritual or our
physical life. Those who entertain
and give expression to this feeling
would be shocked, am sure, If a sim
liar attitude to that which they have
in this matter were applied to other
like matters. Does the individual in

They, however, who deprecate the

FORESTS SUITED T0FARMING
Thousands of New Tracts Opened to
Settlement in Montana-Encour.
ages Home Making.

Bozeman.-Though not generally
understood, national forests in the
northwest are offering some splendid
opportunities for homesteading.
While there are not large bodies OF
agricultural land bottled up in the for
ests, as is now and then asserted, it Is
true that there are many individual
tracts which are we'll suited to farming
and that it is the governments pur-
pose to throw all these open to set
Element just as rapidly as possible.
The forest homestead act, providing
that lands in the forests may be exam
ined upon application and if found to
be chiefly valuable for agriculture list
ed for homestead entry, was passed in
1906. Up to July last year, 1851 such
tracts with a total area of over 1,600,-
600 acres had been opened to settle
ment.
New Lands Listed.
The work of classifying land is
progressing on 100 forests and new
lands are constantly being listed as
agricultural and made subject to home
stead entry. The government is en-
couraging people in every way to use
the forest lands for home making. Ev-
cry forest maintains headquarters in a
city or town close by. A list of names
and addresses can be obtained from
Washington and a letter mailed to the
supervisor of any one of the forests
will bring an answer.
Before making application for any
piece of land it is necessary, however,
to have e e the tract in question.
The supervisor of the particular forest
in which the prospective settler is in
terested will give him information
about possible lands and either go to
the forest with him or send one of his
rangers. Should he find a quarter Sec
ton to his liking and one that appears
to be adapted to farming purposes, the
homeseeker may straightway make ap-
plication for it, stating that in his opin-
ion the land is suited to agriculture.

more men buy a bull together, they
may be able to get a better bull than
either would own individually and
still have money to buy females.
There are other advantages, n of
which is that the more daughters a
bull may have the better he may be
judged as a sire. In the case of men
who are doing official test work this
has considerable advertising value.
Another advantage is that when diff

THE SECRET

of good coffee is to get pure, sound coffee.
If you ask your dealer he will tell you
that all coffees are pure, as the law pro-
hibits the sale of substitutes as coffee.
Not all apples are pure although they
are apples. Some of them are often rotten.
Some coffees are windfalls, and whilst
the law allows them to be called coffee
they are impure and have a harsh taste.
Denison's Coffees are picked c~offees, the
berries picked by hand from the trees,
consequently they are always pure and
sound in every sense of the word, reliabls
and delicious.
Denison's Coffees are always packed in
cartons, bags or cans with the name on
every package. All others are limitations.
If your grocer does not stock Denison's
Coffees, write the Denison Coffee Co., Chi
cago, Ill.,, who will tell you where they
can be obtained in your vicinity.-Adv.
