KEEPING GERMANY POSTED
Giving Notice of the Sailing Of
American Ships

Washington, June 30--The United
States government has adopted the
practice Of notifying the German Ad-
miralty through Ambassador Gerard
of the time of departure Of every
passenger ship sailing the american
flag and approximately the hours
during which it will pass through the
war zone.
This prccaution is being taken IN
order that German submarines com
manders may be on the watch 1o!'
American vessels and prevent a re-
petition of the attack on the Amerl-
can steamship Gulhight, which was
torpedoed by a German submarine
commander who supposed the vessel
was British ship. because it was
in company of two English patrol
boats and the American flag was not
observed until after the torpedo had
been fired.
Officers here believe that if the
German Admiralty sends to its SUB
marine commanders notification OF
what American passenger ships are
passing through the war zone there
can he no doubt of their identity.

WILSON REFUSES
TO SEE ENJOYS
Mexican Pair Told State
Department is Hand
ling The Matter :, :,
APPEAR AT CORNISH
President Wilson Spends Day on
Letters-lteport That Reply From
Berlin Will be Favorable.

Cornish, n. H., June 3O-An un-
successful effort was made yeSter-
day to arrange an interview here he
tween President Wilson and General
Felipe Angeles, the Mexican leader,
who recently came to the United
States and who wants to give the
President his view Of conditions in
Mexico and to suggest d way of meet
ing Mr.. Wilson's warning that the
situation there must change.
Colonel Jesus NJ. Agular and Ma
or Yrenco a. Garcia, who said they
were members, respectively, of the
staff of General Angeles and General
Raoul Madero, arrived during the af-
ternoon, bearing letters OF introduc.
tion from General Madero and Gene
raj Angeles, but were told that de-
tails of the Mexican situation We're
being handled by the State Depart
ment at Washington, and that it
would be impossible for General
Angeles to see the President here.
The two Mexicans denied reports
that General Angeles was connected
with General Victoriano Huerta in
any movement to start another re.
volution in Mexico. They said that
General ArGclcs crd General Villa
are still warm friends and that both
would oppose Huerta to the end.
According to AguiIar and Garcia,
both Generals Angeles and Villa IA
vor the selection Of Vasquez Taglc,
the only member of the Madero Cabl-
net who did not resign, for provisiona.
President Of Mexico. The Villa lead
ers, are hopeful, they said, that Taglc
can be agreed upon, and be recogniZ-
ed by the United States.
The arrival in this small New Eng
land town of the two Mexicans, wear
ing broad -brimmed sombreros, caus-
ed furry of excitement. They said
they had come directly from Boston,
where they had met General Angeles.
After learning that their mission
here was failure, they SAID they
would return to Washington in the
near future to report to, General
Angeles.
The visitors declared that strong
efforts are being made by the Villa
leaders to bring about an agreement
between the different factions, but
that General Carranza would not
negotiate with Villa.

WANTS A SANE FOURTH.
State Health Board in Special Warn
ing Calls Attention to Heavy
Casualties July 4.

Richmond, Va, June 30.-Unless
! there is return to the vigilance
shown some years ago in observing
a "Sane Fourth" the State Board OF
Health. in a special warning issued
| today, predicts that there will be
, increasing casualties this year IN
celebrating the great American holi-
day.
The bulletin of the board reads, in
part, as follows: "The people OF
the Commonwealth are strongly
urged to do their part this year in
observing July 4th with celebrations
which will not endanger life and limb.
Attention is again directed to the fact
that failure to do this in past years
has cost many hundred. their vision
or the use Of their limbs.
! According to the statistics COM
piled by the American Medical !Asso-
citation figures show that despite the
agitation of the last few years, the
casualties from accidents on July
4th, 1914, were higher than they
had been since 1911. The reason is
that the low record made in 1912,
when only 41 were killed and Y+5
injured, gave false sense of secur-
ity. Unless the press again arouses
people to the danger, we shall soon
revert to the conditions that were a
national disgrace prior to 1911
"The only safe rule to follow is to
take no chances. This applies partic-
ularly to parents parents whose chill
dren, with the heedlessness of imma-
turity, beg for the privilege Of ex-
ploding fire works and toy cannon.
If these parents yield and an acci-
dent follows, they blame themselves
for the shattered hands or the lost
vision or the manned bodies of their
children. If the parents turn the
celebration into some other channels
than fireworks, they can readily
avert the danger. The Board would
like to see this rule universally
applied in Virginia.
; The casuaipies Selao:nrimpresS DC
cause. they are scattered over large
country for number of years. But
it is worth while noting that during
the Fourth July celebrations in
America during the past ten years
there were more casualties than in
the great battle Of Neuve Chapelle,
where the British and the German
struggled for four days. This is a
horrible indictment of American COM
mon sense"

HURETA TO MAKE DEMAND.
To Insist Government Prosecute lis
Case at Once or Set Him Free.

Ell Paso, Texas, June SO.-GeneraI
Huerta will insist that the United
tates Government show its hand at
once or free him of the charge OF
conspiring to start a new Mexican
revolution.
The former dictator's attorneys an
nounce today that Huerta will waive
examination at tomorrow's prelini-
nary examination. They will ask
that the Federal grand jury proceed
at once to investigate the claims OF
Villa agents.
Huerta burst into rage today
when asked about the reported state
ment of Gen. Pascual Orozco, one of
his lieutenants, that Huerta "had
come to the border to do little fight
ing and intended to do it" He said
Orozco was only joking.
Despite this statement, Federal of
acials are keeping close watch k'th
on Huerta's movements and on those
of other former Mexican federal Off
GERS here. Some uneasiness was
caused by the fact that Gen. Felix
Diaz slipped into Ell Paso last night
eluded Investigators, and disappear
ed. 1t is believed Diaz may have
crossed the border to take Huerta's
place at the head of the new revolu-
tion..

Moss said no midshipman who had
seen the papers gave him any init,

GERHARD EXPLAINS.
Neither Nation, He Says, Has Been
Able to Realize Each Others
Viewpoint of Events.

(, Berlin, June 30-Dr. Anton Meye~-
! Gerhard, the attache of the German
! Colonial Office, who was sent from
the United States to Berlin by the
| German ambassador, Count von Bern
storff, to explain the views of the
United States regarding the Lusitania
case has published an article in Der
: Tag on Germany and America" in
which he says his experience con-
vinced him that the two countries
misunderstood each other.
at is true" says Dr.. Meyer-Ger-
hard, "that the American press, with
some laudable exceptions, especially
the German-American papers, have
not succeeded in remaining neutral,
but the influnce of the press upon
public opinion is some times greatly
over-estimated. Doubtless large sec
! tions of the American people are
friendly toward Germany, whose ef-
ficient organization is daily winning
new friends and arousing interest IN
things German.
Zone excellent effect of the war Is
upon German-AmericaAs, who, with
out sacrifice Of their loyalty to their
adopted country, have shown strong
ren.rnbrance of their descent Ihe.t
education and their culture. Beside
them, on the other side of the ocean,
there are wide circles who sympathiza
with Germany"
Abiding to the discussion over
the ammunition question, DR.. Meyer
Gerhard says:
"Germans often mistake large am
munition orders for filed orders. To
large extent, such orders are chang
ing big factories into ammunition
works. This is regrettable, but the
writer. is convinced that large parts
i of the American people disapprove of
it: A popular vote would show con-
siderable majority against the prac~
! tice. Germans must: discriminate be-
tween business men accepting orders
ands the great mass of the American
people.
! Equally there are Americans who
condemn violation of Belgian neutra-
litv and the sinking of the Lustania,
and are unable to understand the
German idea of the real conditions,
, while Germans are unable to under
stand how Americans could travel on
an ammunition ship.
! "Both people are laboring under
entirely different opinions. Both nave
lived heretofore in peace and friend
shin. and should continue so to live
There is no real reason for antagor-
ism existing between them.
"Friendship between Germany and
America" declared DR.. Meyer-Ger-
hard, "is valuable possession for
both nations, and it is worth while
to take care that it be saved to both"
