may be left gradually to work itself
out.
The case OF the Nebraskan was dis
cussed at the Lansing-von Rernstorff
conference. Germany's admission of
blame in this instance and her offer
TO make PREPARATION has somewhat
lessened n tension but there is still
harbored the fact in the minds of the
officials hat the kaiser's government
practically ignored the demand of
Prest Wilson for a disavowal Of the
Lus.tania tragedy and PREPARATION
therefor.
Recognize Justice.
However Gernrany's apparent effort
10 avoid a repetition OF the Lusitania
case and her recent caution in con
Quoting submarine warfare is con-
strued as at least recognizing in prac-
tice the justice of the American posi-
ton.
What disposition will be made of
the virtual request by Germany that
the United States attempt to mediate
the differences between England and
Germany regarding the use OF the seas
is problematical. The president is yet
10 intimate his views on this proposal
which Won Bernstorff is understood to
have urged upon Sec'y Lansing.
The ambassador ii is believed pro-
ceeds upon the theory that the United
States having complained against
England's blockade which interferes
with American cargoes and against
Germany's ~setaliatOry submarine war
fare this coustry may properly offer
itself as i mediator and hope for an
adjustment of both controversies.

Mystery About Allison.
There are many mystifying features
TO the case. Little can be learned of

patton and Mrs. Harrison frequently
quarreled with him, because, she
charged, he made no effort to support
himself.
The body was found in bed. Mrs.
Harrison wore q night robe and had
apparently retired for the night. The
murderer is believed to have chlorO-
formed her. for a folded towel lay
across the face and two bottles, from
which poison labels had been partly
scratched, were found under the bed.
Although Mrs. Harrison possessed
valuable jewelry. only a few trinkets
were found. 1t is learned that she
cashed a check for $55 on the after
noon of July s. No money was found.
Bank books showed large of
money on deposit here and in San
Francisco, where she conducted her
money loaning operations. A list con-
tanning the names of persons owing
her money in San Francisco was also
found. She had leaned a total of
$4,000 there.

SCHOOL NOTES
April 6, 1915.

Friday the ninth the athletic associ-
ton gave a banquet and dance in the
gymnasium of the High School. The
faculty, High School students and last
years graduates who were home for
the Spring vacation were invited to at
tend. Everyone tried to make the
purity a success and with the efforts of
Pres. Bonner and Manager Robinson of
the association, succeeded. After a
few enjoyable hours of dancing the
luncheon was served in tho Manual
Training building. The Sophomore
girls prepared the refreshments which
were ser, ed by the Freshman girls.
Vida Seaton, class Of 10, who comes
to the High School daily from Dumont,
is very i'll at her home with t. phoid
fever. She courageously tried to re-
main in school but was obliged to give
up and the disease has made rapid pro-
gress.
The honors have been awarded in the
Senior class. These awarded are based
upon the numerical value of the semes-
ter credits given thru the four years
course. Leroy MacColl received fir t
honors and Bryan Bonner, secon. The
first place carries with it a years tut
ton to the Unworthy of Colorado as
well as the Valedictory address; the
second, a scholarship to the Colorado
College and the Salutatory address.
Miss Ruth Cadwalader has returned
from Denver where she has been under
medical care, and 10 much improved.
