There are some very honorable men who are not satisfied to trust heir own Jl1dg- ment in buying gifts for ladies.

The game Saturday which will be played at the Boys Club, should prove as close and as in teresting as the one year ago and judging by the sale of tickets so far the attendance will be somewhat greater.

OLNEY AND CRANE WILL

Under Special Treaties-Real
Purpose Kept Secret.

Washington, May 10-Charles Il.
Crane of Chicago has been appointed
by Secretary Bryan as one of the CON-
missioners under the Bryan peace
treaty with Russia, which was signed
last October He will go abroad on
special mission for the state depart
ment. 1t is presumed he is to go to
Petrograd. But all information as to
the object of his mission is denied at
the state department. and refused by
Mr.. Crane
Former Attorney General Richard
Olney of Massachusetts has been
named by the state department COM
missioner under similar peace treaty
with France. 1t is not known whether
Mr.. Olney is to be sent to France on
any special mission in connection with
his appointment.
Secretary Bryan conferred with Mr.
Crane at some length as to plans for
his work abroad. Later Mr.. Crane
saw the president. He denied infor-
nation as to the character of the con-
versations, the nature of his special
mission or to what country he was
going. There was a rumor that Mr.
Crane might go to China. 1t was based
on the fact that Minister Paul s..
Reinsch is returning to this country
from Peking. The reported amicable
agreement reached by Japan and
China as to their contentious makes
this unlikely
1t is more probable that Mr.. Crane
is to go to Russia. The recent repeal
of the commercial treaty between the
United States and Russia, carrying
with it the cancellation of passport
privileges, has been vexatious sub

CABINET HOLDS
LONG SESSION
LuSitania Disaster Discussed by
Wilson and Advisers.
ALL REFUSE TO COMMENT
Germany Notifies U. S. Neutral YES
sells Will Not Be Harmed-Will~
Pay Damage for Ships
Lost

Washington, May 13.-The cabinet
was in session nearly three hours on
Tuesday-the longest meeting held in
several months None of the members
would deny that the Lusitania Incl
dent had been discussed, but all re-
fused to make any comment The
demeanor generally of the cabinet
members was grave and reserved.
At the White House no intimation
was forthcoming as to whether the
president had decided on course,
but there was every indication that
the president had decided not to al
low any intimation of his plans to
leak out until he is ready to make
an announcement. White House Off
Gals declared there was nothing to
be said at present to elaborate the
statement made public at the White
House Saturday.
President Wilson made it clear that
his policy on the Lusitania tragedy is
not yet formed and that his speech in
Philadelphia is not to be construed as
indicating what that policy will be.
The president at the present time
had nothing to add to what he said on
Sunday, and he refused to say whether
the United States had communicated
with the German government regard
ing the torpedoing of the Lusitania.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador to the United States, de-
livered to Secretary of State Bryan
the note from the German govern
ment made public in Berlin, express
ing the regret of that government at
the loss of American lives in the sink
ing of the Lusitania.
Germany, through Ambassador
Gerard, notified the United States that
submarine commanders had been
specifically instructed not to harm
neutral vessels not engaged in hostile
acts, and that Ger: many would pay for
damages to such ships in the war
zone.
Neutral ships carrying contraband
will be dealt with, the announcement
says, according to the rules of naval
warfare. If neutral ships are acct
dentally damaged in the war zone,
Germany will express its regret and
pay damages without prize-court pro-
ceedings.
The German government justifies
its submarine warfare on the grounds
that England is threatening to starve
the civilian population of Germany by
prohibiting neutral commerce in food
stuffs and other necessaries.

Louis Halle was colonel on q ov-

accompanied him to Washington to be
a part of an inaugural parade. ALI the
colonies had uniforms a-plenty, but it
was decided to rely upon the Wash

The governor sat on his horse await
ing the parade formation, and from
time to time an orderly would gallop'
up with an official communication. On
each occasion Colonel Halle was by
his side. At last the governor OBJ

Colonel Halle, l see no necessity
for your sticking to this orderly in

There isn't any," admitted Halle
