PUBLIC OPINION OF GERdANY'S
NOTE.

Present comment on the latest
German note replying to Americas
protest on the sinking of the Lusi.
tania and the attack on the Gulflight
is almost unanimously unfavorable
Practically all of the newspapers
heard from declare the note to be un-
satisfactory and really no answer
at all to Americas representation
The Minneapolis Journal seems tc
voice the sentiment OF American
newspapers generally in saying won
Jagow, instead of answering the
American note, has made a speech to
the American people" Tie st. Louis
, Post-Dispatch says it is impossible to
accept "either the reasoning or the
terms OF the German note" while
the Chicago Daily News declares
American lives are still a minor
consideration in Berlin" and the In
dianapolis News calls il "discourag-
ingly unsatisfactory. The Philadel-
phia Bulletin declares friendly rela-
tions can not continue unless there
shall be expiation in some form.
The Philadelphia Telegraph refers to
the note as impossible of accept
ance." The Dallas Times-Herald
calls ii unsatisfactory and the Louis
vile Times declares 1T is time for
Wilson to act" while the Louisville
Post regards the note as arrogant
and insulting. The Raleigh Times
predicts that We will break off diplo-
matte relations and the Birmingham
News puts it up to the president to
act, while the Knoxville Sentinel
calls the note "a mere piece Of verbal
fencing" and the Mobile Register
says that Germany's reply "embodies
a counter proposition which has for
its basis the assumption that Ger
many, owing to her necessity, is just
flied in establishing rules of war"
upon a sea highway common to all
the world. The Atlanta Journal
characterizes the note as Simply
stolid evasion" and the Richmond
Leader points out Germany's impossi-
BILE offer of relief, while the Savan-
nah Press declares that Germany in
her last note asks us to do too
much" and the Tampa Times refers
to Germans "stiff-neck attitude"
The Columbia Is. c. Record refers
to the note as insulting The New
York Sun says it is impudent; the
New York Herald says it is one of
defiance. The Chicago Journal calls
1t insolent and evasive. The Hous-
ton Chronicle takes a gloomy view
of the situation, as does the New
York Globe and the Peoria (Ill.)
Journal, while the st. Louis Times,
which is owned by German-Ameri-
cans, says the situation sis at the
breaking point" The San Francisco
Chronicle, the Des Moines Capital,
the San Antonio Light, the Louisville
Times and the Memphis Scimitar sug-
gest that there is still ample room for
diplomacy. The German papers, ac-
cording to dispatches from Berlin,
declare that the government has gone
the utmost length to meet the Ameri-
can demands, while some German
newspapers say that Germany has
gone too far in suggesting the deco
ration of new ships with. the Ameri-
can flag. Running through the COM
ment of German editors is the boast
that Germany is standing pat.

up you are building up yourself and
your neighbor. Try and Danish from
your mind the mistaken idea that all
good things are away off in some 9TH

will cost you nothing; and above all,

No one is so independent as the
farmer; he doesn't have to truckle;
if he is insulted he can resent the
insult without fear of losing trade,
and there is no earthly reason, with
the improved farm machinery he now
has in use, why he should not have
an eight-hour day and such leisure
for reading and study as would soon
make him one of the best informed
men in any calling. Why shouldn't I
the farmer be all this and more?
Surely he has the possibilities.

During a marriage ceremony in Scotland recently, of which a London paper tells, the bridegroom looked eX- jremely wretched, and he got so fldgety standing first on one foot and then on the other, that the best man decided be would find out what the trouble was.

The Whaling Industry

Boston papers chronicle the almost complete extinguishment of the Allan. tic whaling industry, in which, between the years 1904 and 1876, the whaling fleets produced an income of S335,OOO,- 900, about S5O,OOO,OOO of which was eorued in the five year period between 1853 aud 1858. The gradual encroach- meut of kerosene in the oil markets was the contributing factor in the collapse of the Atlantic whaling trade.
 Seattle, however, has shown some growth of the industry in recent years and now has six ships making regular spring sailings from this port. Of these a portion cruise off Baranof island on the Southeastern Alaska coast, using Port Armstrong, near Sitka, as a base. Other ships operate in Boring sea waters, using Akutan as a base. The headquarters and market of these ship ping concerns is in Seattle, and the industry is said to be growing.
 Nantucket was built into importance as the third city of Massachusetts through tue whaling fleets. New Bed ford's fleet once numbered 329 vessels, worth S12OOOOOO and manned by l20O0 seamen. The population of these cities was based entirely upon their relations with deep sea fishing and whaling
 Today there are but thirty one whal. CTS in tue Atlantic trade. Of these, 2l are from New Bedford, nine are from San Francisco, one from Provincetown aud oue from Stamford.
 There are some signs of growth of the industry on the Pacific coast. Whale products are finding new uses and the market is widening. The Pa ciac ocean, especially the northern waters, is showing an increasing supply of whales, and Seattle has the nucleus of what will probably be an important trade in whale products.-P-L

Land of the North Wind

Until very recent years the great wilderness of swamp and forest stretch ing from the head of Lake Winnepeg east to Hudson Bay and nortberly to the Arctic circle was known as the district of Keewatin.
 With the exception of small detach- ments of Northwest mounted police, few scattered missionaries and the Hudson Bay Company's traders and employees, this vast district is peopled entirely by Indians of the Cree and Sateau tribes, and in the far northern portion a few wandering Eskimos and Chippewayans.
 This country, in which winter of almost Arctic severity holds sway for eight months in the year, is network of large lakes, rivers and smaller streams draining into Hudson Bay. Along most of these navigable waters situated from 100 to 2UO miles apart stand the lonely trading posts or forts of the Hudson Bay Company, These forts usually consist of a picketed or stockaded square inclosing a nun Der of log or frame buildings, usually four or five, with a tall flag pole rising in the center, from which, on special occasions, floats the red ensign of the company.
 The staff of the smaller ontposts generally consists of one white man, as officer in charge, with two or three halfbreed or Indian assistants or dog drivers. As in most cases these posts are situated in a virgin wilderness far from civilization the trader may not see fellow white mau for six months at a stretch aud has only the society afforded by bis hafbreed servants.- World Wide Magazine.

Pleas of U. S. and Spanish Ministers for Delay Ignor-
 ed by German.
MISS CAVELL SHOT
 WITH UNDUE HASTE
Military Governor of BelgiMm Has Sentence Executed Before ApDeai Could Be Taken to Emperor
 William.

London, Oct. 21.-Eiforts of the American minister al Brussels con- tinued to the very last minute, failed even to delay execution of tho death sentence passed on Miss Edith Cavell,
 the English nurse, by the German
 military authorities, for helping Eng
 fish, French and Belgian soldiers to escape from Brussels.
 Secretary Gibson held positive as surance from Conrad, an official of the German civil branch in Belgium, that the American legation would be kept fully informed of all develop ments in the case. This promise was renewed as late as 6:20 o'clock the night before Miss Cavell was shot. Two hours later it was learned that sentence had been passed even before this promise was made, and that the nurse was to face death during the night.
 Secretary Gibson and the Spanish minister, with G. D. Leval, legal counsel to the American legations, hastened to the quarters of Baron der Lancten, governor-general of the military province of Belgium. He was not there. They managed to com municate with him by telephone. and shortly after 10 o'clock Lancten re- turned. Thereupon Secretary Gibson presented strong plea for mercy for Miss Cavell. The Spanish min .ister supported and supplemented his arguments. but their appeals were met by the civil governors reply that he could do nothing. as the mili- tary governor, von Bissing, was the supreme authority. He, however, called the military governor On the telephone and was told by him that the death penalty was imperative. Before petition could be carried to the court of last resort, Emperor William, Miss Cavell was dead.
 These and other startling facts are port of the report made by Brand Whitlock, American minister in Bel giu1n, to Ambassador Page, made pub lie here tonight.
