RESULT OF ACCIDENT

Struck in the head with the sharp
end of a pick Nick Papas, a Greek. is
at Reid hospital today in dangerous
condition. Whether the blow will re-
suit in Papas' death depends upon de-
velopments during the next two days.
Papas was struck by another Greek,
John Manekas, while they were work
ing with a section gang on the c. &
o. railroad a short distance from the
north. end passenger station.
Manekas, who is being held on a
charge of assault and battery, asserts
that he struck Papas accidentally and
the injured man does not believe
Manekas Intentionally assaulted him.
nor do other members of the section
gang who have been question by the
police.
.I am inclined to believe Manekas'
story that Papas' received the blow
from the pick when Papas. who was
working directly in front Of Manekas,
slipped and fell backwards" Chief
Goodwin said today. "Manekas said
that when Papas fell his pick was de-
scending and it was impossible for
him to check its descent in time to
avoid striking Papas."
When Papas was removed to the
hospital he was partly paralyzed.

BERLIN, May 19.-Herr Won Jagow
Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg a
preliminary draft of the German re
ply to the American note. The Chan
cellor suggested some changes and the
revised draft will be presented to a
council Thursday. The reply will
probably be issued Friday unless de-

plans. The evening newspapers in
contrast with the morning papers, de-
nounce the American attitude, urging
the government to answer the note
with firm defiance.
BERLIN, May 19.-Forecasting the
reply to be made to the American note
the semi-official Vossische Zeitung
states today that Germany will make
three important counter demands on
the United States as follows:
First-That it shall insist upon Brit
ish merchant vessels abandoning the
use of false flags.
Second-That it shall insist upon
England ceasing to arm merchant yes
sells.
Third-That it shall insist upon
England refraining from carrying con
traband of war upon vessels which
have American passengers on board
''If America does this" the Vossis

Germany on her side in the endeavo1
to lead submarine warfare into hui

fluence Great Britain America will
have to put up with the submarine
warfare"
The Cologne Gazette says that the
American note cannot be expected tc

flee, and messages bearing on the in
ternational relations and foreign pol
icy of Italy.
Though every care was taken to
keep the contents a secret it was
learned today that the book contains
justification for every move that Italy
made
The Italian government contends
that it was placed in a position where
it had maintained it's dignity at any
cost and that demands which it made
of Austria were based on right and
justice.
The green book is also said to at.
tack the course pursued by Austria,
declaring that the dual monarchy had
violated both the letter and spirit of
the treaty Of the Triple Alliance.
