CLAIM MEYER GERHARD
GERMAN ARMY OFFICER

WASHINGTON, June 16.-No cloud
appeared on the international horizon
today to disturb the optimism of ad-
ministration officials as to a satisfac-
tory settlement Of the differences be-
tween the United States and Germany.
In fact all advices were declared to
strengthen the belief now general that
President Wilson and the kaiser will
reach an agreement preserving the
friendly relations between the two ma.
tions and resulting in honorable peace
for both.
The report that Meyer Gerhard, said
to be a special envoy of Count Won
Bernstorff, the German amba ssador, to
acquaint the kaiser with the true Am
erican attitude toward Germany really
is high official of the German mill
tary staff, and the state department
was tricked into obtaining safe con-
duct for him was not credited gen.
orally in high official circles today.
Secretary Garrison denied he had
had any correspondence, direct or in.
direct, or any meeting with DR.. Meyer,
or Meyer Gerhard, or Gerhard, who
the report stated wanted to buy $780,
900 rifles from the war department.
Il know nothing whatever about this
story that a DR.. Meyer or Meyer Ger
hard was trying to buy these rifles in

behalf Of the German government"
said Secretary Garrison.
Il never heard of the man except
through the newspapers. At the out
break of the European war | said that
if we sold any of these rifles, and any
of them got into the hands of the bel
ligerents, we would be unable to con-
vince any nation that the sale was in
nocent on our part. Accordingly I is
sued an order Withholding all of these
rifles from SALE
DR.. Meyer Gerhard did not receive
regular safe conduct from the Brit
ish and French embassies. Instead he
carried with him a letter of identifica-
ton signed by Secretary of State Bry-
an. according to the official announce
ment at the state department today.
The impression of department Off
Gals was that the British and French
embassies in Washington certified to
the signature Of Secretary Bryan
This letter has all the purposes of an
official safe conduct, while it relieved
the two ambassadors of the RESPONSE
bility of having issued the document
The letter was issued at the oral re-
quest of the German ambassador, and
the certification by the French and
British ambassadors was an oral ar
rangement. At no time was the iden-
tity of DR.. Gerhard questioned.

through Spelvio pass. Furious fighting
is in progress there with the Italians
attacking the SUBMITS of the pass

Battling their way forward among

by new dominating heights on the
frontiers of Tyrol, Trent and Cadore.
Long distance artillery duels are
raging along the upper lsonzo valley.
particularly in the region of Monte
Nero, northwest of Tolmein (Tolmi-
no..
Favorable progress for the Italians
at all points is shown by an official

day It states that according to the
nature of wounds inflicted upon Ital-
ian soldiers the Austrians are using
explosive bullets.

GILES SAYS GARFIELD
REQUIRES MORE HELP
THAN WHITEWATER

No immediate recommendation will
be made by Superintendent Giles of
the city schools to the school board, of
the proposal of D. D. Ramsey, princi-
pal of Whitewater school, that mod
ern school building, fully equipped, be
constructed ae substitute for the
present structure in the North End.
Mr.. Giles declared today that the
members of the school board were and
had been fully aware of the conditions
of Whitewater school, that the con-
gestion was no greater than existed in
other schools and was not as great as
that in Garfield school He said that
as much money had been expended to
improve Whitewater school as any
other grade school.
AS an answer to the statements Of
persons advocating the expenditure of
money to improve the grade schools
rather than spend any more at pres
ent on Garfield and the High school,
the superintendent is compiling sta
tistics and data to show the exact
amount which has been spent on grade
schools and on high schools.
Mr.. Giles declined to give detailed
statement of his opinion regarding the
situation of Whitewater school. pre-
ferring to wait until he can make his
figures public.
The superintendent, however, left
no doubt but that he would first see
the problem of elimina ting the con
gestion in Garfield school and in t
High school solved before lie will ST
port any plan entailing the spending
of money for improvement on the
grade schools. Or, at least for the
construction of new school building
in the North end.

Arerrible Abyss.

The greatest ocean depth yet sound. ed is 31 200 feet. near the island of Guam. If Mount Everett, the world $ highest mountain, were p1ucked from its seat and dropped into this spot tha waves would roll 2,O00 feet about it's crest. Into this terrible abyss the wa ters press down with . force more than 10000 pounds to the square inch. The stanchest ship ever built would bd crumbled under this awful pressure like an egg shell under steam roller. "A pine beam fifteen feet long which held open the mouth oflthc trayvl used fn making a cast at depth Of mora than 18OOO feet was crushed Hat as if 1t had been passed between rollers. The body of the man who should at tempt to venture to such depths would be compressed until the flesh was fore ed into the interstices of the bone and bis trunk was no larger than a rolling pin. Still the body would reach the bottom Pearson's Weekly.

s.lf s.erifioe.

No man has ever sacrificed himself in th., common meaning of that phrase, which is self sacrifice for another alone Men make daily sacrifice for others, but it is for their own sake first They must content their own spirit first. A man must feel better for doing a duty than he would for shirking it.
 Take the case of the Berkeley Gas tie, British troopship crowded with soldiers and their wives and children. There was room in the boats for the women and children only. The colonel lined up his regiment on the deck and said, Ut is our duty to die that they may be saved.'' There was no mur- mur, no protest. The boats carried away the women and children. When the death moment was come the colo mel and his officers took their several posts. the men stood at present. and so, as on dress parade, with their flag flying and the drums beating, they went down, sacrifice to duty for duty's sake. They were soldiers with a soldiers pride-a soldiers self re- spect. They had to content soldiers npirit-Marl Twain.

condemned man and the spectators. Three of Hillstrom's friends were in vited, at his request, to witness the execution.
 The number of spectators was linn ited by law, including certain officers and press representatives. The pris- on physician placed a paper target directly over Hillstrom's heart to guide the members of the firing squad, who selected their rifles by lot. The execution was under the direction of Sheriff J. S. CorIess of Salt Lake county.
 Officers are much perplexed by an incident that developed last night in connection with the, arrangements for the execution. Hillstron expressed a desire. to wear a dark suit which had been. under lock and key with his
