Into Decorah Passed Away

| The many DEBORAH friends of Al
W. Adams, the popular Rock Island
Iengineer, who had run into Decor
ah for several years past, will be
grieved to hear of his sudden death
at Cedar Rapids last Thursday. We
take the following from the Cedar
Rapids Republican,:
Z Albert William Adams, Rock
Island engineer living at 1926 Wash
ington avenue, died suddenly of apo
plexy at his home at 10: 80 Thursday
morning. He had a host OF friends
in railroad, church and Masonic cir
cles, and the news of his sudden and
untimely death will be heard with
much sorrow.
Mr.. Adams has been in the employ
of the Rock Island road for many
years Formerly he had the passen-
ger run to Burlington and for sever
al years past has had the passenger
run on the DEBORAH line. He looked
to be the picture of health But ear
lily last summer he felt symptoms of
disease and he went to Hotel Colfax
for rest and for treatment. He re-
turned home feeling much improved
in health, and since then has been
dieting and taking the best possible
care of his health. He was on his
usual run Wednesday and appeared
to be in his usual health ,,f
His end came very suddenly Mrs.
Adams sister, Miss Parmenter, is q
teacher in the Johnson school, just
a block from the Adams residence.
She was hastily called home when
Mr.. Adams was stricken, but he died
before she could reach home.
Mr.. Adams was born in England,
May "a, 1871, but he came to this
country while boy. He was fond of
outdoor exercise and practically all
his spare time was spent out of doors.
From the woods around DEBORAH
he brought various birds and animals
which he presented to the Zoo at
Bever park.

PROMPT ANSWER.
CONTINUED from page One.)



The principal points in the note are
substantially as follows
/, The United States government
calls attention to the various incidents
in the war zone proclaimed by Ger
many around the British Isles and
the sinking of the British liner Fala-
ba with the loss of Leon c. Thresh-
er. an American; the attack by Ger
man airmen on the American steamer
Cushing; the torpedeing without
warning of the American steamer
Gulflight flying the stars and stripes,
and finally the torpedoing without
warning of the Lusitania, with its loss
of more than 1000 lives Of non-com-
batants, among them more than 100
Americans
Act Held Indefensible.
.. These acts are declared to be
indefensible under international law.
The United states points out that 1.
never admitted Germany's right to
do them and warned the imperial
government that it would be held to
Strict accountability for attacks
on American vessels or lives. A strict
accounting. therefore, is now asked
from Germany.
8. The usual financial reparation
will be sought, although Germany is,
in effect. reminded that no reparation
can restore the lives of those sacri-
feed in the sinking Of the Lusitania
and other ships.
4. Expressions of regret may
comply with the legal precedents, but
they are valueless unless accompanied
by a cessation of the practices endan-
gering lives of non-combatants.
5. The right of neutrals to travel
to any point Of the high seas on neu-
tral or belllgerent merchantmen is as
serted.
Guarantee Against Repetition Asked.
6. In the name OF humanity end
international law, the United states
demands a guarantee that these rights
will be respected and that there will
be no repetition of the attacks on
merchantmen carrying non-eombat-
ants.
Z. The giving Of warnings to the
American public without officially
communicating them to the United
states government is commented on
in connection with the German em-
bassy's printed advertisement before
the sailing Of the Lusitania, but ire
speotive Of the failure to advise the
American government Of Germany S
purpose. the point is made that no.
tlee Of an intention to do an unlaw-
ful act neither justifles or legallzeJ II,
S. The suggestion is conveyed that
the German government, Of course
could not have intended to destroy in
noeent lives and that consequently
the German submarine commanders
must have misunderstood their In
structions. The American govern
ment indicates its hope that this will
be found to be true, and cessation
Of the unlawful practices thereby will
result.
Farnesness Is Asserted

tention Is called to the earnestness Of

ladies answered that they had no
doubt the north side would be willing
to pay for park Improvements in their
district II the people in the neighbor-
hood OF the depot viii permit them
selves TO be assessed for the cost Of
the depot park and the people Of the
east end OF the city for the park Just
completed there,
Councilman Montgomery declared
that inasmuch as there Is a likeli-
hood Of losing the chance TO buy lh9
property within the week, steps
should be taken TO get an option. but
Mayor Dyer refused to be moved
from his stand. Councilman Murphy
also expressed himself as favorable
toward the proposition, pointing out
that a park and playground Is one OF
the needs OF the city. Moreover. ne
stated that It was his understanding
that the trustees Of the old cemetery
would make a deed TO the city in the
event the adjoining strip is purchas-
ed. so that, he said, instead OF paying
$4,000 for three lots the city would In
reality be paying $4,000 for an entire
block. In reply to the objection that
the Civic Club purposes the ground
for a park and not playground. he
marked that the disposition OF the
grounds would be with the council
and not the Civic Club in the event
the land is acquired.
The acting mayor dismissed the
matter from further consideration by
calling upon the recorder for the 9TH
er business at hand.

the government and people Of the
United States in this situation. 1t is
made plain that the United states will
leave nothing undone either in diplo-
matte representations or other action
to obtain compliance by Germany
to the request made.
Bryan said the note will make be-
tween twelve and fifteen hundred
words and will be made public on
Friday morning. In the language
used the note cannot be misinterpre-
ted. The United States declares it
considers the loss of 100 Americans
on the Lusitania a monstrous crime
against civilization. The note con-
tains no threat, those close to the
president say. Rather our position ls
that of a dear friend, who realizes its
friendship has been violated without
warrant. There is no apology how
ever. It is a frank and open demand
for redress which the United States
has a right to expect as a result oil
years of genuine friendship.
