increase.
Carey ]. Wilson, state superintend-

statement that the profits of these

heavy and that no cause has yet been
found for an increase. Wilson cites
the records for several years, showing
that the companies paid out only a
small percentage of their receipts on
tornado losses.

the sentiment of the Berlin foreign
office which has prepared a reply,
according to the best information Ob-
tainable, recognizing Americas r1ght
to protection but in effect declaring
the kaiSer'S submarine warfare against
belligerent merchantmen, Germany's
business and her business alone. The
kaiser, however, will have the final
say and Austro-German influences in
this country have been addressed to
him to have such concessions made as
will be satisfactory to the United
States.
1t is already certain that Germany
will not take the responsibility of
breaking off negotiations with this
government by belligerent reply. The
tone is to be polite and conciliatory,

SionS of a material character.
Requires Serious Consideration.
1t is anticipated, therefore, that the
German communication will require
serious consideration by the president
and his advisers before any further
steps are taken. Persons closest to
the executive say he has not changed
his ideas and still insists that Ger
many must meet America s views. If
the Germans fall back on legal prece-
dents as a reason for refusing to do
certain things, it is admitted that it
will be hard to justify any American
action based on moral and humanitar-
ian grounds alone.
The British announcement that the
admiralty is expediting the hearings
in the case of the detained American
cargoes was admittedly made to stave
off another note from the United
States. 1t is said it will not serve its
purpose, however, although it is not
the administrations intention to adj
dress Great Britain just at this time.
The president expects to let the
British matter rest until the German
reply is received, but within q short
time, it is known, he plans to forward
q note to. ENGLAND and France.
