Recent Prize Court Rulings
and PrOnOuncement on
Cotton Cause u. S. to
Postpone Action.
CONFER ON ANSWER
President and Secretary
Lansing Discuss Contents
of Proposed Communica-
ton But Silent on Tenor.

WASHINGTON, July 23-W:th the
American note on submarine warfare
understood to be in the hands of the
German foreign office today, it was
expected in administration circles that
President Wilson now would turn his
attention to the interference by Great
Britain with American commerce. The
note to Great Britain on interference
with American shipping is not ready
to be dispatched to London yet, Secre-
tary of State Lansing today asserted
after conference with President Will
son. A number of recent prize court
decisions have complicated the decis-
ion, and an unexpected British pro-
nouncement on cotton may delay the
sending the British note for some
time, he said. 1t is not expected to 20
before the president returns from Cor
nish.
Forecast Correct.
The state department planned to
give out the text of the German note
for publication in this country tomor-
row morning, Following the publica-
tlon OF the note, the contents of which
have been accurately forecast, it is
ter period of suspense as the situa-
ton admittedly has been put up to
the kaiser.
Germany's future action will deter.
mine the relations between the two
countries.
The American note is presumed to
speak the last word, so far as this
country is concerned, regard the Lusi-
tania disaster and Germany's sub
marine warfare
If Germany should show an unwilling.
ness to agree in diplomatic CORE
spondence that the rights of American
neutrals are to be observed, the
United States can only serve warning
that this government will stand firm
ly by it's announced position and that
the acts of Germany must conform to
that position.

the proposition.
The committee secured an appoint

at Indianapolis. and at the request of

itself, and upon his statement that
this he could not do, inquired whether
he would cooperate with the CONNER

Plant Closed Down.
Mr.. Mount informed them that this
was absolutely impossible. that neith-
er the receiver nor the reorganized
company would operate it and dem
onstrated to the satisfaction of the
committee the reasonableness of this
statement. 1t was also clearly shown
why it would not be practical for a
new company to manufacture the
Gaar-Scott line as this had been alb
sorbed by the Rumely Company and
that more than 100000 of repair
parts for this line were now scattered
throughout the world among the diff
ferent branches and agents which

Not Suitable For Purpose.
The committee is thoroughly con-
vinced that there is no possibility
that the local plant will ever be oper-
ated by the Rumelys or any other
company in the manufacture of thresh-
ing machines and believes the citizens
should know these facts
1t also feels reasonably certain that
there is no prospect of any other man

entire plant because of the size Mr.
Mount made the committee price on
the plant which he thought would be
acceptable to the court. and has prom
ised the committee to keep them in

He is in sympathy with the motives
of the Commercial Club and express
ed desire to aid them as far as he
was permitted in saving the property

The committee feels that the plant
could readily be divided making it
suitable for smaller factories and they
have arranged for a complete set of

Critics skeptieal.
German military experts point out
that the fall OF Warsaw may not be
expected Immediately as the official
reports of the general staff indicate
that siege warfare has developed. and
this may delay operations.
It might take some time to reduce
the Russian forts at Novo Georgievsk
and Ivangorod and in the meantime
the Polish capital would probably be
safe unless the German armies Of Cen
eral Won Gallwitz and General Won
Moyrich are able to break through
from the north or south and cut the
railroad communications OF the Rus
SLAMS behind Warsaw However. all
military men are confident that War
saw will fall and that complete vic
tory for the Teutonic allies is certain.

and unless some purchaser can be
found who will take over the entire

to form holding company to take
over the property rather than to have
