Department of State,


Washington, July 81, 1915.
You are instructed to deliver
textually the following note to the
minister for foreign affairs:
The note of the imperial German
Government dated the Sth of July,
E1915, 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 1t
very unsatisfactory, because it fails
to meet the zeal 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 partial
suspension of those principles, which
virtually set them aside.
The Government of the United
States notes with satisfaction that
the imperial German Government
recognizes without reservation the
validity of the principles insisted on
in the several communications which
this Government has addressed to
the imperial Government with re-
gard to its announcement OF war
zone and the use of submarines
against merchantmen on the high
seas-the principle that the high
seas are free, that the character and
cargo of a merchantmen must first
be ascertained before she can law
fully be seized or destroyed, and that
the lives of noncombatants may in
no case be put in jeopardy unless
the vessel resists or seeks to. escape
after being summoned to submit to
examination; for belligerent act OF

PORTLAND AGAIN IS TO TRY
 STEAMSHIP LINE TO ALASKA

Portland again is seeking to inau- gurate steamship line to Alaska. Twice the venture has failed but this time, it is reported, Rose City busi- nessmen will make a concerted effort to perpetuate the service.
 The Portland Telegram of Septem- Der IT has this to say of the proposal:
 Backed by shippers and other lead ing business interests of the city, a new steamer line, it is rumOred, is about to be established between Port land and points in Southeastern Al aska. It is stated the plans of the new company are for the inauguration of the service the latter part of the fall or early winter. Later the steam CTS may be sent as far north as Cor
 ova. Because of railroad building the business men in that section of Alaska are looking for an unusually brisk season next year"

Next Monday, the 18th, will be AL aska Day and a legal holiday in the territory of Alaska. It was made a legal holiday by the action of the first legislature, and l.. V. Ray, president of the senate in that legislature, sug- gests that Seward ought to observe the occasion in some fitting manner. The act making the day legal holi- day was the second passed by the legislature. Fairbanks, Juneau and other cities hold special services of some kind on the day.

Will Graf Accept
 the New Franchise!

President Sam Graf, of the Seward Electric company, was unable to say whether he will accept the franchise as it passed the city council last night or not. He had not had time to read over the document carefully section by section. It was intended to print the terms in full today but for two reasons such task is useless. In the first place the franchise has not been accepted yet and in the second place the printing of the terms in full would probably only be confusing. Even some of the councilmen who voted for the franchise are unable to tell today exactly how the new electric light charges compare with the ones now prevailing or with the ones origin ally proposed when the franchise was first introduced.

ANOTHER SHIPPING DISASTER OFF THIS COAST ]!
FRANCHISE IS
 GIVEN BY CITY ACCEPTANCE BY THE COMPANY ALONE REQUIRED TO
 SETTLE IT.

The electric light franchise was passed by the city council last night 1t is the old franchise with some amendments and was voted for by all the councilmen with the exception of one who declared that he knows noth- ing about electricity, and if the majority of the council and the major ity of all the rest of us were honest we should say the same thing. The company's acceptance of the franchise only remains now to delay the sign ing of the contract but at the time this was written nothing was known of the company's intentions in the matter.
 The term of the franchise was re- duced from fifty to tweny-fve years. The term of purchase was made twenty years. The chief fact noted was that the installation of meters was not insisted upon until a consum- CT is consuming a peak load (the' spelling is doubtful, by George) of a hundred kilowatS. The proposal was made to compel the company to install meters on the First of January but this was first accepted and then rejected. All membres of the council, with one exception or so stated the extraordinary fact that the amend men made by the council actually raises the price of the small cOnsum- CT, the man or the family without means. The mayor said positively that the council proposals actually raised the price for small consumers and Councilman Chovin expressed the opinion that the substitute franchise proposed by the council had actually higher rates than the one accepted by the electric company. Council man Youngs declared that the council franchise hurt the poor man. "The poor man is the one to protect" said Mr. Youngs.
 At last it was decided to cut the rate for lights from one up to five to $1.92 and this means a difference of three cents from the rates asked by Mir. Graf of the electric company. When the council passed the amend ment compelling the company to in- stall meters on the first of January Mir. S. o. Morford, attorney for the company, gave formal notice that the amendment ended the whole matter so far as the company is concerned as meters could not be installed in all cases and give the company a chance to benefit by the franchise. Then the council reconsidered the matter and knocked out the amend ment altogether. The later agree ment that a meter must only be in- stalled when the consumption amounts to a peak load of a hundred kilowats means that this consumption must be the average daily for period of thirty days. After long discussion Councilman Chovin moved and Coun- cilman Youngs seconded that the franchise as amended pass and it did. It is probably all over. T. G.

If in hymn books following the
passion songs, there was no Easter
hymns; if in our new testaments fol.
lowing the history of Christ's suffer.
ing there was no Easter gospel: if in
our churches following lent there was
no Easter festival, then our condition
would be sad indeed, and our entire
Christian life would be like a dark
night without the morning dawn; a
heart rending discord without an ap-
peasing final cord. But today, where
there are bells to ring, choirs to sing,
lips to praise and hearts to rejoice,
there the Easter story is being told.
Now, is Christ risen from the dead and
has become the first fruits of them
that slept.
In order to know that our Lord real
" did rise from the dead, we must
establish beyond a shadow of a doubt
that, he whom they took down from
the cross on Good Friday, was really
dead. Perhaps, simply perhaps, he
merely tainted or swooned away, then
there was no resurrection for he sim
ply recovered consciousness after an
interval, but the evangelists, each one
OF them expressly state that he had
died and the wonder is not that he
did die after hanging on that cross for
three hours. But the wonder, the great
wonder is that he lived so long after
being cruelty tried by those soldiers
and the populace at large. Suppose,
simply suppose that he did not die;
would he have survived the lance
which was driven into his side by the
Roman soldiers? Out of that wound
there flowed what blood there yet re-
manned in his heart.
We are told that when the soldiers
came to the cross they did not break
his limbs. They broke the limbs of
the two thieves, for they were not
dead, but when they came to Jesus
they did not break his limbs for he
was dead already. Surely these agents
of the Roman government would have
established beyond a shadow of a
doubt that he was dead ere they took
him down from that cross. But sup
pose simply, for argument sake that
he had not died. He would have been
suffocated by the embalming process
to which Joseph of Aramathea and
Nicodemus subjected his body; for
they rubbed owe his body 100 pounds
or aloes and then they bound band
ages about his limbs, his hands. his
body, his head, and laid him in the
tomb.
The apostles had no'hint of Easter
on Good Friday. II looked indeed. as
II his work had ended and his career
was finished and that he himself was
gone gone out of their lives, gone into
death, gone into the grave, gone for
ever as far as sense could tell; but
on the morning of the third day he
arose and the faithful women who
went early to the sepulchre to anoint
his body with sweet spices, found the
empty, and an angel stood there
and invited them to come and see
the place where the Lord lay" and
then commanded them to "go and tell
His disciples and Peter" that he went
the mimic Galilee. Since then
