| forming to the established rules of
naval warfare, the government OF the
| United States cannot believe that the
! imperial government will longer re-
frain from disav0wing the wantOn act
of its naval commander in sinking the
Lusitania or from reparation for the
American lives lost. SO far as repara-
ton can be made for a needless de-
struction of human life by an illegal
act.
Suggestion Ie Rejected.
The government of the United States,
while not Indifferent to the friendly
spirit in which it is made. cannot ac-
cept the suggestion OF the imperial
German government that certain YES
sells be designated and agreed upon
which shall be free on the seas now IL
legally prescribed. The very agree
ment would. by implication, subject
other vessels to illegal attack and
would be u curtailment and therefore
an abandonment of the principles for
which this government contends ana
| which in times of calmer cOunsels ev-
cry nation would concede as of course.
The government of the United States
and the imperial German government
are contending for the same great
object, have long stood together in
urging the very principles upon
which the government of the United
States now SO solemnly insists. They
are both contending for the freedom
of the seas. The government of the
United States will continue to con-
|tend for that freedom, from whatever
quarter violated, without compromise
and at any cost 1t invites the prac-
teal cooperation of the imperial Ger
man government at this time when CO.
operation may accomplish most and
this great common object be most
strikingly and effectively achieved.
Hope for Freedom Of Sea.
The imperial German government
expresses the hope that this object
may be in some measure accomplished
even before the present war ends. 1t
can be. The government of the Unit
ed States not only feels obliged to in
sist upon it, by whomsoever violated
or ignored, and in the protection of
it's own citizens, but Is also deeply
interested in seeing it made practi-
cable between the belligerents them
selves, and holds itself ready at any
time to act as the common friend who
may be privileged to suggest way.
| In the meantime the very value
which this government sets upon the
long and unbrOken friendship between
the people and government OF the
United States and the people and gov
ernment of the German nation impels
it to press very solemnly upon the
| imperial German. government the lne-
cessity for scrupnlousi observance OF
neutral rights in this critical matter.
Friendship itself prompts it to say to
the imperial government that repeti-
ton by the commander Of German
naval vessels OF acts in contrayention
CT those rights must be regarded by
1.-THE government of the United States.
when they affect American citizens,

UNLIKE THE MODERN METHOD
Egyptian Remedies for Skin Disease
Differed Widely From Those at
Present i1r'Ise.

The contrast between the very an
Client and the very modern methods Of
treating skin diseases Is well illustrat-
ed In the medical writings Of the an
cient Egyptians. The most modern
method of treating these Affections is
by scrums. A favorite prescription of
the Egyptian doctors was the follow
ing: Take the toes of a dog, ripe
dates and asses hoofs in equal parts.
Boil these carefully in a pan of oil.
This is an excellent remedy for skin
eruptiOns and to make hair grow"
In these ancient writings we find the
first authentic record Of the use Of
goose grease in therapeutics. and APP
parently this remedy has never lost
its popularity. AS used by the Egyp-
tians. however, goose grease was only
one Of several ingredients useful In
treating certain skin diseases. particu-
larry badness. In this recipe five
other fats were used in equal parts.

BIG TURKEY DRIVE
Only Trouble For Herders
Picking Mud Out From Toes
of Thanksgiving HikerS.

What is believed to be the largest
turkey drive ever seen in this coun-
ty was that Saturday when r. B.
Griffin. of Kirksmansville, delivered
500 to Fox Bros. & Co here.
The turkeys walked every step of
the twenty miles, and it took three
days, or from noon Wednesday I'M
til noon Saturday to make the trip.
They were herded the same as hogs
or sheep and were attended by three
men.
The herders said they had no trou-
BILE. except that Thursday, when it
rained all day and the roads were
very muddy they we're kept busy
cleaning the mud out from between
the turkeys toes. When their feet
become clogged with mud the
turkeys will not stir. so the men had
all they could do. Nights were
spent in barns. The turkeys, as well
as thousands of others. which have
been bought all over this region,
will be slaughtered and dressed at
once and rushed to city markets.

Greet Scotch Lawyer Never at Loss

Erskinc's Wit.

A writer In the British Weekly. re-

among others. the following examples
of his wit:
A brother advocate who had little

circumstances. His death was an
Rounced to Erslkine by Sheriff An
struther. who added: They say he
has left no effects" THAT is not sur

had no causes, he could have no Of
fects."
Erskine did not despise the lowly
pun. and once inscribed upon a tea
chest the words: Tu doces-Thou
toachest.
The lord advocate maintained a
great reverence for religion, though
surrounded by friends of avowedly
skeptic opinions. One OF these was
Hugo Arnot, an attenuated. lantern
faced man. who usually rode white
horse as lanky and sepulchral-looking
as himself. Returning from a Sunday
afternoon ride. Arnot met Erskine
coming from divine service, and called
out to him: Where have you been,
Harry? What has a man Of your
sense to do consorting with a parcel
of old women?" Adding with an extra
sneer, What, now, was your text?"
Our text" replied Erskine, impress
sively, his eye fixed sternly the while
upon the white horse and his rider,

Book of Revelation and the eighth
verse: And ! looked and heheld a

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB

The following editorial recently APP
peared in the Great Falls Tribune
and that it might also apply to our
own Commercial Club, is left to the
readers.
"The Great Falls Commercial Club
has been in existence most of the time
fir twenty years. 1t has had periods
of enthusiasm and reasonable pros
perity. 1t has had seasons of back
sliding and hard shedding. So it
has been just about a typical COM
mercial club in Il western city. Like
all representative bodies of this kind,
there have been mistakes of admin
istration at various times that have
merited criticism. During other per-
iods it has wirked out many civic
and comemrcial problems, the solu,
ton if which have brought about
large and lasting benefits for Great
Falls. In order to get a fair esti-
mate of the usefulness of the organ
ization you have to take the good and
bad and see how the balance comes
out. If this is done, without preju.

in saying: Taking everything into

while. It's service to the city has
had a value many times as large as
the cost.
If this opinion is correct, there is
another conclusion that surely and
logically follows, namely: 1t is the
duty of every business establishment
if the city, that can reasonably af-
ford such a miscellaneous expense,
to have one or more memberships
in this organization, which takes care
of many public matters of common
interest. If this method of handling
public business is the proper thing,
then about all of our commercial in
terests ought to get under the load.
There are just about three bunch
es, or kinds of men, who can and
who do not support the Commercial
club. First, there are those who have
a kick coming about how something
or other is done, or, at any rate, they
think they have a grievance whereby
they conveniently cancel a member
ship. This is not right. Everybody
can't have his own way all the time.
The thing to do is to take more in
%terest, and endeavor to rectify what
is bad if there is anything of that
kind. There is a second class of fell
lows who are careless about the mat
ter. They are not p~redispised to
shirk, but in a thoughtless way it
seems all right if somebody else will
give up the time, bear the burden and
take the criticism that a director in
the Commercial Club bumps into from
time to time. The third class includ-
es a few gentlemen who don't give
a continental boot about anything, ex-
cept getting by with all of their pro-
fits and without giving a red cent for
anything.
Well, after all has been said, there
is only one thing to do, and that is to
keep digging. Rome was not built
in a. day, but that's no reason why
we should not push Great Falls along
as fast as we can. Besides here's a
fair question-when as good and will
ling a citizen as Louis Newman takes
the presidency of the Great Falls
Commercial Club, and gives up a lot
if his own time to the work, is it
neighborly or right to expect him to
plug along without reasonable sup
port?
Now, son the level" is it,"
