of the United States not only feels
obliged to insist upon it, by whom
soever violated or ignored, in the
protection of it's own citizens, but is
also deeply interested in seeing il

ready at any time to act as the com

to suggest a way.
"In the meantime the very value
which this government sets upon the
long and unbroken friendship be-
tween the people and government of
the United States and the people and
government of the German nation
impels it to press very solemnly up
on the imperial German government
the necessity RIO scrupulous OBJ

prompts it to say to the imperial gov

it is ready to make every reasonable
allowance for these novel and unex-

it cannot consent to abate any es-

people because of a mere alteration
of circumstances. The rights of neu-

the principles are immutable. 1t is
the duty and obligation of belliger-

TEXT OF AMERICAS FINAL AN

Following is the official text of the
latest American note to Germany re
garding submarine warfare, which
was delivered to the foreign Office al
Berlin last Friday by Ambassador
Gerard:
The Secretary of State to Ambas.
sador Gerard:
Department of State, Washington,
D. c., July FL, 1915.-You are in.
structed to deliver textually the fol-
lowing note to the minister for for.
eign affairs:
''The note of the imperial German
government dated the 8th of July,
1915, has received the careful con-
sideration of the government of the
United States and it regrets to be
obliged to say that it has found it
very unsatisfactory, because it fails
to meet the real differences between
the two governments, and indicates
no way in which the accepted prin-
ciples of law and humanity may be
applied in the grave matter in con-
troversy, but proposes, on the con-
-trary, arrangements for a partial
suspension Of those principles which
virtually set them aside.
The government of the United
States notes with satisfaction that
the imperial German government rec
ognizes without reservation the val
idity of the principles insisted upon
in the several communications which
this government has ad4f essed to the
imperial German government with re-
gard to it's announcement of q war
zone and the use of submarines
against merchantmen on the high

"The government Of the United

ed to find that the Imperial German

where neutral vessels are concerned
by what it believes the policy and
practice Of the government of Great
Britain to be in the present war with
regard to neutral commerce.
'The imeprial German government
will readily understand that the gov
eminent of the United States cannot
discuss the policy of the government
of Great Britain with regard to .neu-

in view of the manifest possibility of
conforming to the established rules
OF naval warfare, the government Of
the United States cannot belive that
the imperial government will longer
refrain from disavowing the wanton
act of it's naval commander in sink
ing the Lusitania or from offering
reparation of the American lives lost,
so far as reparation can be made for
a needless destruction of human life
by an illegal act.
The government of the United
States, while not Indifferent to the
friendly spirit in which it is made,
cannot accept the suggestion of the
imperial German government that
certain vessels be designated and
agreed upon which shall be free on
the seas now illegally prescribed.
The very agreement would, by impli-
cation, subject other vessels to il
legal attack and would be a curtail-
ment and therefore an abandonment
of the principles for which this gov
eminent contends and which in times
of calmer counsels every nation
would cOncede as of course.
"The government of the United
States and the imperial German gov
eminent are contending for the same
great object, have long stood to-
gether in urging the very principles
upon which the government of the
United States now so solemnly in
sists. They are both contending for
the freedom of the seas. The gov
eminent of the United States will
continue to contend for that freedom,
from whatever quarter violated,
without compromise and at any cost. |

accomplish most and this great COM

CT of big operations and was generally reputed to be one of the most daring and at the same time successful plungers on the Stock Exchange. His wife's diamonds had been frequently described in the society columns of the daily prints on the occasion of her appearances in the. gilded, dazzling splurge of the Four Hundred in the horseshoe" at the Metropolitan Opera House.
 And so there were reasons why the multitude should be engrossed in the proceedings destined to determine whether or not Robert Strickland, ac- tive business man, should be sent to the electric chair in that bare, oblong death chamber on the bleak Hudson hillside always yawning for more vic tims. It was no ordinary sordid or drunken crime participated in by deni- zens of the vast metropolitan under world this time. No, indeed. Here was choice morseI, dainty tidbit, in the way of a criminal prosecution, a case where two of the best known families of the greatest American city were Involved. It was admitted on all sides that no indictment since that ac- cusing United States Senator Jeffrey of poisoning his wife was handed down by the grand jury had caused such stir. X The selection of the jury proved, as it usually does in case where capital punishment is Involved, slowly drawn out affair. Some members of the spe- ciaI panel which had been drawn. op- posed the death penalty and favored life Imprisonment for murder. They forgot that even the Book of Holy Writ had laid down the law in this tragic circumstance, An eye for an eye and tooth for tooth.''
 Or perhaps they merely made the as sertion as to their belief on the sub ject in order to be excused from serv- ing.
 Other talesmen had business engage ments out of town or felt that their health would not stand the confinement for days in the stuffy, humid court room, but these and similar excuses were brusquely swept aside by the court. The worthy citizens felt better, that at the finish of each days session they would be escorted under guard in an auto to fashionable hotel up town and there dined on the choicest viands of the season at the county's ex- pense. One man appealed to the sym .patny Of the court. when he asked to be excused because his mother had died The judge was on the point of letting him go when, as though the result of a sudden inspiration, he asked the tales man:
 When did your mother dieY'
