FLOOD OF TELEGRAMS.

FLOOD OF KILOGRAMS
The White House staff was busy to-
day with deluge of messages almost
unprecedented in magnitude Many We're
from governors of States, members of
the Senate and House and others com
prised resolutions of State Legislatures.
The kilograms almost unanimously ex-
pressed confidence in the President In
the present crisis. They indicated that
popular feeling over the disaster had by
no means diminished any while most of
the messages expressed the desire that
something be done to show the indigna =
ton of the United States over the sink
ing of the Lusitania, many of them
strongly opposed a resource to war.
All of the messages were delivered to
the President and it was expected that
he would go over as many of them as
possible
The President took a motor ride after
the cabinet meeting and later reviewed
the Washington high school cadet corps.
Tonight he secluded himself again in
his study.

ecutive were satisfied that the eventual
tiles Of the present situation had not
necessarily been limited by his utter
ances concerning peace

The German note was discussed briefly
at the cabinet meeting. having arrived
early In the day from Ambas SIS dor
Gerard. While it was regarded as a
promise for reparation in the cases of
the Gulflight and the Cushing, if it shall
be proven that they We're damaged by
Germans, the opinion Of high Sficials
Of tho Washington government was that
the communication did not alter the main
issue-the torpedoing without warning OF
unarmed merchant ships of any national
ity carrying non-combatants.
The circular modifies the original
proclamation of the war zone in the
sense that responsibility for mistake s
is now assumed and the right of visit
ana search is to be exercised against
vessels flying neutral flags. while
destruction of neutral vessels carrying
contraband is to be conducted under
the rules of international law govern
ing prizes. These require the transfer
to place of safety of passengers and
crew if the vessel is destroyed. Just
how a submarine will be able to carry
out this obligation was not explained
lin the circular and left officials very
much in doubt on this point.
The general opinion of many law
officers of the government, including
some of the cabinet, was that the Ger
man circular would not materially af-
feet the Presidents course. 1t was
significant, however. they believed of
a desire on the part Of Germany to
remain on friendly terms with all neu
trails and to placate especially Holland
and some of the scandinavian coun-
tries which have suffered as a result
of the mistakes of German submarines.

Canon City should well feel proud
of this organization. The personnel
OF the company could not be better
and probably is unsurpassed any
where. The company, however, is not
receiving the suppore 1t merits from
the citizens of the town. Every young
man should enlist at once. 1t would
be crime to send out unframed men
to defend their country and them
selves. Many young men wish to Join.

offense.

dead. but every man will declare. '1s
trouble should arise he would be ". T.

useless. because it Is trained men
that are desired and the present war

Let us each one see these facts, and
