Germans Make
Concessions
Practically lnsures American
Vessels Against All At
tack Without Warning
Victory for Washington.

Washington, Sept. 3d.
Germany in Its latest note in
the Frye case, made public
here today, notifies the Unit
ed States that orders have been
issued to the German naval
forcs not to destroy American
merchantmen which have
loaded condition contraband,
even when the conditions OF
international law are present,
but to permit them to contin-
ue their voyage unhindered if
it is not possible to take them
into port.
Germany gave this assur'
ance in order to furnish to
the American government
evidence of it's conciliatory at
titude, while the question OF
Interpreting the treaty of
1928 is submitted to arbitra-
ton. The American sugges-
ton for the naming of ex-
perts to fix the indemnity for
the sinking of the Frye is ac-
cepted.
AS for absolute contraband
such as arms and ammunition
Germany states in its note that
it must reserve to itself the
right to destroy vessels carry
ing absolute cont1aband wher-
ever such destruction is per
missible, according to the pro
visions of the declaration of
London"
The Cenman note is regard
ed by officials as eVldenclng
a more friendly spirit on the
part of the German foreign
office.
Following months Of strain
ed relations between the two
countries, it is received as a
very favorable development.
1t practically insures Ameri-
can vessels against an attack
without warning, even in the
event they are carrying abso-
lutte contraband and the pass
engers and crew are bound ac-
ccrding to the declaration of
London, to be removed before
here is any destruction, which
can occur only in the event of
extreme necessity.

Bulgaria to
Enter Conflict
Balkan Situation Becomes
More Serious With Bulgar-
ia Entering War as Teuton-
ic Ally.

London, Sept. -. .. a
move which may solve the rid
le of the Balkans-Bulgaria s
mobilization - has struck
London with dramatic sudden
ness, the afternoon papers,
however, refrain from editor
ial comment. Neutral read
ers of these publications, ex-
cept for the drawing of their
own conclusions from large
heads and such captions as
Balkan sensation" would be
none the wiser as to whether
England regarded the devel.
opments as a preliminary vic
tory for the central powers OF
merely another overnight
turn of the Graeco-Serbian
Bulgarian negotiations.
The consensus of opinion
was that although the Bulgar
ian army now is on the move
Bulgaria has not cast her 10
with one side or the other, bu
is, as her minister here ex
pressed it, still neutral, still
waiting, but armed.
The first bulletin announc
ing Bulgaria's mobilization
reached London by way O
New York. 1t was followe
quickly by a stream of tele
grams from the European car
itals to the effect that 1nobil
:zation, partial or general, ha
been ordered at Sofia; thu
Bulgaria virtually had take
the field and that Bulgars c

home.
Subsequently came tn
news of excitement at All

ers. But from Sofia the Bri

Ollie IS Like a
Work Shop
Our Town at the Present Time
Shows Great Activity. -
Many New Buildings CO.
ing Up in Both Residence
and Business Sections.

Ollie from its appearance
bids fair to be one of the live
iest towns for some time to
come on account of the large
amount of business represent
ed, and nearly every building
which will be utilized is near
ly completed.
The Northern Pacific rail-
road have been pushing their
work as fast as possible. Aside
from the completion of the
depot and round house are the
laying of the necessary side
tracks and platforms and
fences. The Irving building
in which is located the Black
drug store is now almost COM
Pleted. 1t is a very attractive
building located in a very good
location. The Herr hotel is
now in operation and a visitor
may be enabled to secure the
best of everything at almost
any reasonable period of the
day. c. S. Back, who has an
up -to-date hardware store in
. operation, is doing a thriving
business. He has enlarged his
building this week in order to
, afford room for the large
, stock of hardware and cutlery
which he will place in his
store.
, Aside from these enterpris-
. es which have already added
+ to the number of business in
stitutions in Ollie lately are a
pool roem, blacksmith shops
land restaurant.
At the present time the
farmers who have grain for
sale sale iiliu n a ready market with
the Occident elevator in the
i town. The distance from
t which grain comes IS i; remark-
able. Several loads have
come from the Horse Creek
< country as we'll as the produc-
: tive Dennis country, which
! in the future no doubt will be
J. among the localities which will
2 tender our town their patron
s age. From the spirit mani
t tested in every section of the
: country Ollie will be even
! more prosperous than any,
: one has anticipated. All the
! business men are as one in
f their desire to boost the coun-
, try, the town, and each indi-
vidual interested in this Sec
: ton.
: In a few days the Ollie
Commercial club will hold a
\ meeting. Among the things
that will be discussed will be
the advisibility of assuring
enough patronage to make it
: possible for the Optic to in
; stall a plant and build a new

they will act upon the propo-
s;tion favorably for a town

Psycholoqy of Practice

The question of short versus long periods of practice in training the hu. man muscles for any particular kind of work is obviously one having far reaching application. Some interest ing experiments on this subject have been carried out by Dr. K S. Lashley of Johns Hopkins university. Aequisi- tion of skill in archery was selected as the subject of observation. Twenty untrained persons were divided into three groups. One group shot five arrows with the English longbow per day: another. twenty shots per day
 and the third, forty shots. There suits showed conclusively that the group shooting only five times day improved in accuracy with less ex- pendture of time in practice than was required by either of the other groups for the same amount of improvement. A report on the experiments says: 'sThe relatively greater efficiency of short periods of practice continuing for many days is in accordance with the results of the study of animals and of speech habits in man. and in- dicates that in training to muscular feats. in both animals and man, the length of practice periods required is usually too great for maximum eff ficiency. y."-Scientific American.

TNTERVIEW' WITH THE HERO
Happening When Man From the Front Explains Things to His
 Fair Charmer.

oh, MT. Hero, I'm so glad to see you safely back from the war Sit right down and tell me all about it. I'm awfully interested Wasn't it sim ply terrible over there? And did you really live in the trenches for weeks at a time with shot and shell scream ing all around you? I don't see how you could stand it. Were you ever hit by one of those forty-two centimeter guns? mean by the bullet, of course; ; not by the gun. But then, of course, you weren't, or you'd have your arm in sling or something. Who do you think is going to win? I suppose shouldn't ask you that, though. You soldiers are not allowed to tell mill tary secrets, are you? Did you ever really kill man yourself, or don't you know? My uncle, who was in the Spanish war. says you never can tell whether it's your bullet or somebody else's that hits the enemy. I should think that would be awfully annoying. Not that you want to know that you'd killed a man, but still you'd like to know whether you're wasting your am munition or not. Oh, must you go so soon? 1 wish you would stay longer. I've been so interested in hearing your adventures Call again soon. won't you? Good-by."

INTERNATIONAL LAW
 VIOLATED, SAYS U. s.
ESPONSlBlLITY FOR THE RE CENT DISASTER LAID UPON
 GERMANY.

Washington. - The United States note to Germany dealing with the de- struction of the Lusitania and the consequent loss of many American lives, will say to Germany that she has been conducting her warfare ir violation of international law.
 It will say also that to the extent to zens have suffered in consequence of those violations, Germany must he re sponsible.
 Whatever justification she can of fer for a continuance of her subma- rine policy, which this nation holds to be in violation of international law. Germany will be called upon to pre- sent
 Officials construe the language of the note as it stood as placing upon Germany moral. legal and financial obligations to the United States for the incidents of the Falaba, the Cush- ing, the Gulhight and the crowning tragedy of the Lusitania but as leav- ing the door open for Germany to make such argument as she may see fit as to future policy.
 In brief the note is not rcgarded as in the nature of an ultimatum. de- spite efforts made by some close to the president to create the impress sion 1t was of that character.
 The consequences of the note will depend upon the attitude of Germany in response to it, rather than on it's own decisiveness.
 It is explained that the phrase strict accountability" used in for mer note meant that Germany was t be held morally and legally responsi- ble for all violations of international law affecting American lives or prop erty.
 The United States holds fast to Il e doctrine that international law as it existed at the outbreak of the war is binding. It holds that international law demands that there must be viei. and search on the high seas before there can be Justification for dcstruc- tion, and that there is obligation on the part of belligerent to safeguard the lives of neutrals aboard an enemy as well as neutral ship.

 Koberle is the son of a, laborer. Owing to his powerful build he was readily accepted among the volunteer bicycle men. His agility and his abil- ity to adjust himself to his environ ment specially fitted him for patrol duty. and he developed special skill in the discovery and observation of hostile positions.
